@Satanika,
method 1b & 3b are very,very nice,1b has the nice rumble feeling,3b seems to be lessened a wee bit,method 1 & 3 are OK,but not as good as there b counterparts.
Method 2 & 2b are really bad,both make the rear surround speakers crackle really bad,had to shut these 2 off ASAP,so I would scrap those altogether.
Do you have these in full form ready for the GOUT DVD's?
