I just picked up a Q400 off the Forum and want to do a fair fight comparison against my existing Rel Storm in my living room. I have to say that the Storm really seems to like the one spot where it has to live and integrates wonderfully.
I use the room mainly for Sat TV and DVD-A/SACD Music, but some DVDs get played in there when I can't be bothered to warm up the HT room.
I've read all the threads that suggest the q400 is a bit of a challenge to set up and my first problem is that it doesn't actually fit where I had intended it to go. I see wife trouble on the horizon
Some quick questions to help me on my way.
1/ +12db or Normal? Surely if you calibrate it shouldn't make a difference should it?
2/ WHere do Q400's like to sit? The strom is behind me by the right rear speaker but you really can't tell where it is.
3/ Forget Neutrik, Dom didn't have the lead and I like a simple life anyway, but what mode would you suggest for Sat/TV and DVD-A/SACD Music
4/ If I decided to keep the Storm in the Living Room would the Q400 be any additional benefit in my HT room? Could it work alongside my SVS 20/39plus in any meaningful way?
Thanks,
Mark.
