Could you compare the 3.7s/DMW combo with the 20.7s once they break in?

Very cool! Let us know how you like them.

Are you going to use a sub, or run them stand alone?

Both - going to try them with our Model T subs.

OK. You know you are now on the hook to explain how they sound in both cases!

Can't lose no matter how you go with them, looking forward to your reviews.

Hello James,

That's awesome.

Kindly bring the Bryston's smaller, Mini T subs to test with them too. And if possible, please let us know how diffrently might they sound via the 4B, 7B's, & 28B's. I'm sure some people are curious whether the latest 20.7's are "power hungry".

Thanks,
Klao

Hi

No line source refers to the way the speaker radiates it energy into the room - it's called "2 pi" space and the speaker should go from floor to ceiling.
