I decided to measure the frequency response with the medium room setting and it looks like the right setting for my room so I left it and never did remove the cover.
On Saturday I had 29 other guys over to my house as part of the
Omaha Home Theater Tour. We listened to music and movies for about an 1 hour 20 minutes before heading to the next house in the tour. After the last stop, I had 8 guys over for prime rib, smoked tri-tip, baby portobello mushrooms sauteed in wine and olive oil, salad buffet, corn bread, bread sticks, and sweet potato fries. After dinner we spent some more time listening to the LS-6's and the new JTR Noesis 212HT speakers.
Those that arrived after I had lowered my AT projector screen didn't know until the end that I didn't have a center speaker. They were surprised at how a phantom center could sound so good and the voices could be crystal clear and positioned correctly even for those standing outside the width of the speakers.
I go by Desertdome at AVS. Here are some of the comments from the day on Danny's wonderful speakers:
". . . the best 2 channel sound I've ever heard."
"Deserdome's living room space was truly unique. Something you may only have the opportunity to see and experience once in your life. The LS6 towers were majestic."
"Desertdome's multipurpose room win's for me in the sound quality department. I am an audiogeek and am more interested in perfect sound than perfect picture. Those towers simply blew me away and is exactly the sound I've been looking for. I watch more concerts than movies and can only imagine what some of my favorites would sound like on his system. He unique use of space for his subs is one of the more "out in left field" approaches I've ever experienced and they sound amazing."
"Desertdome's house was a completely different deal, in a great way! The LS-6's were far and away the pinnacle of the day (for me!) I have never heard a more detailed and natural sounding speaker than these. Planar ribbon tweeters were so sweet. Pretty unreal. . . .Phantom center was a non-issue no matter where I was in the living room."
"I haven't heard music like that in a long time and was pleased to see that's how you focused your demo."
It was a very fun day and even after everyone left I stayed up past midnight listening to music.
