| Soliloquy bad for HT? I have heard from a reliable source that tweeter is a $10 item--check it out. How about using the tv's speaker for the center speaker. My Pioneer allows for this. There are binding posts on the back of the set | |
| Video shielding for rear projection TVs? The 3 crts HAVE to be in the middle--of all sets.If you are just listening to music/no tv: throw a comforter over the tv--does wonders. It's not just the size of the set;it's the sound bouncing off that large plastic surface. | |
| TV picture issue, anyone? --All sets automatically do degaussing each time the set is turned on. --Much like old brake drum shoes self adjusting; each time you back up.Also the last thing I would do is lug around a brand new tv to have it analized. Go back to the store che... | |
| What is the best "Carmina Burana" CD you've heard? I'll second Previn on Angel. | |
| Speaker placement for 2-ch AND 5-ch same room "Necessity is the mother of invention" and "Where there is a will, there is a way" come to mind. With 7 speakers in the present room---I'm betting you'll be going for 9 in the larger room.PS, don't forget that extra center for the rear;for "pro-lo... | |
| TV picture issue, anyone? Well # 1,I would sure have watched the same tv,and in B&W, at the store. (Bring your own software.) Everybody's eyes are different,but I would guess it might be poor QC at the factory. NTSC standard for B&W is 1000 kelvins lower; 5500 vs 6... | |
| What are the perils of shipping worldwide? Ok,it's time for some BAX Global-bashing. They hit one of the wood crates with a fork lift tip. Not that the tip went all the way through to the speaker. The tip hit the pressed wood,the pressed wood in turn was what hit the speaker.;The weight of... | |
| Stereo amp to drive one center channel speaker? I,like several others "did" the bi-wire/amp.I did this with 5/6 different processors--over 8/9 years.I once had the Fosgate 3a--it had 2 center ch.outs.I now have a Meridian 565 and for some reason it"hates" to drive a Y. So, I now use just the r.... | |
| Cal Audio CL-10 and Theta GenVa - - - TLC? There are 1,000 other applications for your dilemma --all audio related. How much improvement for this?/ that? If 10 people respond;you may have to just go with the majority.i.e. whom would you believe?Ok,I do have the 5a;I had mine upgraded to 24... | |
| Any James Taylor Fans? New CD Sounds Great. Speaking of JT,anybody get "trio"-the channel? (315 if you get direct sat.)They do lots of vintage concerts,and re-run them. I saw a 2hr show from the early 70's JT had 40min,Cat Stevens had 40, and Neal Young did the last 40 minutes. Good stuff. | |
| Phony buyers on Audiogon Belfran; I'm sure management has plenty else to do, than concern itself with "deals-that-don't-go-thru". As a buyer or seller your job is to know the game and proceed with intelligence and caution. Always check the feedback of a buyer---AND---sell... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? While I agree with twi, in part; I also think OBO means just that.A -20% offer on a firm price is one thing. The seller must have thin skin--(Don't we all?--time to time?) He could have ignored you,or just said no thank you. Anyway,we shure know h... | |
| Impressions of the Anthem AVP 20 As a former AVM2 owner/ Now a Meridian 565 owner I can tell you my older but upgraded to 7.1, Meridian KILLS the AVM2. Dynamics and clarity are the biggest areas,where it does this.It depends on your priorities.--Meridian, No 6 ch input, no video ... | |
| Suggest Used Projector HD compat for approx 4K? Don't forget the original "Dreamvision" doesn't do HD. The model that does HD is BIG-BUCKS. |
