Found this, wondered what everyone else got.

I get 1.5 for my floorstanders (tall, slim design). If I add my sub, it drops to around 0.8

I get a 3.4 I have a very understanding wife
The home theater system is in the same room I didn't calculate but probably an 8

Can't do those calculations, (under educated), but missus gives them a perfect 10! Straight from the horses mouth, can't beat that!
You sure can't Mick!! Unfortunately I know I can't say the same about my three ways, but the SAF did go up appreciably when I painted them matt black, covering up the beer stained flaking chipboard...
I can't ask the other half about the MTM's because she has been away since they started getting closer to completion, but I think they will have a much higher SAF.
The calc for the MTM's come out at between 1.38 and 1.55 depending on my estimate of cost 😉 That is the thing that really brings them down, the low estimate is $1200, I suspect in reality it is closer to the $1500 mark and could even be higher.
When I add in the three ways as stereo subs the SAF comes down to 0.39 😱 Maybe there is something in it 😉

hehehe what I don't know is whether the volume and floor area is for one or both!! I only used one, I'm doomed if you are supposed to do both!! 🙂
But I could effectively make the price VERY low if I took out everything I purchased before I met my other half, that would drop the price by $1000 or more 😉 But you are right, if I were to buy the equivalent drivers now, they'd probably be $300 - $400 cheaper!!

I'm not sure if i worked it out correctly, surely i can't be that wrong 😀
I guess i know why i'm single
It's the 72ft^3 of subs in here 😉
Erm... Below 0.01

Negative.
Ahhh, the old "bass enhancement via room volume reduction" path. Well done!

lol, actually SY they don't take up any real room in here at all 😉Ahhh, the old "bass enhancement via room volume reduction" path. Well done!
This is my hifi & home theatre room so i kind of cheated & filled the bay window with the subs which also blocks out the light so no curtains needed when i use the PJ 😀
They actually only protrude from the wall by about 2cm, nothing really 😎
out of sight, out of mind
have yet to show/mention to her this sort of thing(s).
the only secret i have -
some where between 3-4 hundred of them.
so, letting her bring the subject to conversation,
if she ever does .
would be the best way to handle this subject.
(maybe someday, i'll get around to mentioning, the altec 210's)

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
