| Best movies last two years Weather Man was a dissapointment.Capote was good but a little tedious at times.Sin City was awesome.Saw March of the Penguis and my boss said that "on a scale of 1-10 for cuteness, baby penguins are an eleven." | |
| multi-format player advice? sony 9100es? Sony ES has been getting worse since the 9000. The 999 was a great player. It is a SACD player only with no DVD-A playback (only the DVD layer of the DVD-A). I don't know what the bulid/sound/pic quality of the 9100 is but would not be surprised i... | |
| Speakers with built-in subwoofer or separate sub? Often the prefered placement of the speaker to reproduce low frequencies is not the same as the prefered placement to reproduce a realistic soundstage. This means that more often than not a compromise has to be made unless you have complete freedo... | |
| Diagonal set up in small room & floorstander Something that doesn't respond all the way to 20Hz. Demo some floorstanders that respond to 35-40Hz on paper allong with a pair of bookshelf speakers that respond to 40Hz. A good floorstander should respond evenly down to this range without gettin... | |
| Best movies last two years While Clooney is a little left of the left sometimes I think that defending the conservative monolith is beating a dead and half gimp pony to glue. The Republicans control damn near everything. There is such thing as a sore winner. Is victory as r... | |
| Best movies last two years Is Capote good? I think the local theater is getting it soon. Has anyone seen the new Bill Murray movie (Broken Flowers, I think)? | |
| Unable to hear movie on the nad t533 Your NAD has DD processor bulit in. If you are using Front L/R outputs then follow Rar1's advice. There is also the possibility that you are using the Rear L/R outputs. That won't work. Either way you need to set up the DVD player via the onscreen... | |
| Best movies last two years Watched Turtles Can Fly this week. Filmed in Iraq, it follows a group of refugee children who live off of clearing and selling land mines. Tough movie to watch at times but very good.Also saw Good Night and Good Luck this week. Quality flick from ... | |
| Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1? The SB3 does use the same size woofer but it is a Peerless with a larger magnet. the difference between the two is not just in bass extension. the SB3 is better accross the board. the drivers complement each other better in the SB3. More attention... | |
| Epos LS3 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1? I have a pair of the 9.1's here that I am auditioning. So far they are dreadful but they have not finished breaking in yet. Even straight out of the box the NHT SB2 blows them away as Rar1 said. In that price range you can go with the SB2, Kef Q1,... | |
| Looking for a sub to compliment a 2 channel system There is little in the $400 price range that is going to cause a marked improvement. Cheap subs do more things wrong than they do right. If you can pick up a Martin Logan Grotto or Dynamo you should be able to incorpotae it into the system well. T... | |
| Recommedation to drive Electrostatics? ML, Inner? High current SS amplification with good tube pre.Refer to Audiokinesis's recomendations.Good luck! | |
| Risks in using my 2 channel speakers for 5.1 Yes that would be a bad idea. It would likely damage an amplifier.If you are using the Tom Evans Vibe as a preamp I don't think that you can do exactly what you are attempting to do.What you will need is either a stereo preamp with "home theater p... | |
| Changing termination: will it affect the sound? Bare wire? Fewer links in chain. Zero cost. | |
| Drying sand in the oven- anyone try it? Anyone who is thinking of "drying" anything in the oven (be that veggies or sand) should know that if you don't crack the oven door you are simply roasting the sand. When teh moisture evaporates but has nowhere to go it will turn your oven into a ... |
