| Stereo amplifier for a pair of passive subwoofers. Second the Parasound BUT you would not want to send the LFE channel to your main speakers. Instead you would want to set your main speakers to LARGE in the set-up menu and your subwoofer to NONE. If you do in fact have a subwoofer you could simply... | |
| Cables for a high-school newbie I wouldn't call the Absolute Sound review of the extension cord "very positive," but cables are not going to change your set-up as much as a new receiver/integrated amp. If your budget allows for $400 towards an amplifier of some sort it may be wo... | |

| Best component video cable under $150? Though it is blasphemous to say so on this site... cables are not likely to make a huge difference. Audition a $300 set of component video cables from your local dealer along with a $15 set of component video cables. If you can tell a difference t... | |
| great SS amps for the klipsch rf7 You may not need "lotsa-watts" to reach your goal. You will need some current though. Watts are a product of Voltage X Amperage. Try a Parasound HCA-750 or HCA-1000 if you want ear-bleading (but accurate) sound at a reasonable price. The stated "w... | |

Surround processors (in receiver or seprate form) get outdated quickly if not in processing modes (virtually usele... | |
| Do I need a Preamplifier If you max out the volume on your MP3 player, and the maximum output voltage is 2.0 volts you are safe as long as you are not getting distortion. Read the manual for the player and the receiver. If the max output voltage of the MP3 plaer is 2V and... | |
| Thin speaker cable Interesting experiment-CAT-5. Cheap as heck ultra-thin wire. The mid-range will leap out at you even if the bass does go the way of the Dodo. Never compared it to expensive ultra-thin wire but can only assume similar results. | |
| Looking for 5.1 speakers for Denon AVR 3805 I think that your speaker choices may out-class the receiver. The processing in your Denon should be fairly good. I would get a good 2 or 3 channel amp for the front L/R or front L/C/R. The pre-outs on teh receiver will allow you to use external a... | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. Will not defend my recomendations on any level. Will explain them though. This is a large room you are working with. Electrostats will not reach the absurdly loud volume levels that horns will and will not sound like the local cinema multi-plex. T... | |
