3 times, all with the same track, I did it twice and the dealer did it once... but he was trying to to see what they were doing as far as what problem i was having....

I purposly bought the CD to see for myself and I am sure the speakers are just fine. Just a big rolloff issue in the lows, they just don't hit that low note the way it's meant to be played and it's normal coming from a monitor.Nothing to do with speaker design i think.

What's the mysterious track that's causing all the problems? I want to give it a try on my rig!!!

The 160 is a tryed and proven well made and developed speaker by a first class manufacture . I'm quite sure this speaker was not designed for the low frequencies callas has throw at them . I hope for his sake he hasn't damaged his speakers to Thank you sir for the recommendations I can't wait to check them out

the 160s are tried and true, I dont think they should get a bad rap cause they cant reproduce some insane frequencies that exist on one track.

keep the 160s, get a decent sub, 90% of what i play is fine with the 160s, the rest i can use a sub..... its why they were invented right?

It certainly is, I used my subs virtually all the time with the 110's and quite often with the 5.4's.

I'm pretty much in the same frame of mind as yourself, admittedly there's some pieces I'd like to add but am in no rush to do so. Can't say I'd really be upset if those things never happened.

I'm sorry about your sub amp . Have you considered just replacing the amp ? That is if you were happy with the sub before. There's a lot of nice subs to consider for 700 to 1000 dollars though . To bad you don't live closer Id give you a good guy deal on my SVS PB 12plus . Two subs for me is a over kill and either one does a great job . There is the cool factor though of having two . But Id give one up to help you out but shipping would kill the deal and Im sure would be outrageous .
