Help - Nice small dipole or bipole for HT wanted.
Thanks so far. Those names help a lot.The main questions remaining unresolved, are “Which?” (di or bi), and “Where?” (sides or rears)... and of course, “Who?”.A good eff rating is gonna be a good thing using the power plant of the Onkyo TX SR 805.... 
Projection Screen
Buying a screen is a bit more involved than You might think.Lots of variables will narrow down the type... by whom and what size or construction (pull down, wall mount, fromt or rear PJ) and then the level is usually attached to your wallet.Consid... 
Shall I add a preamp to my setup?
I particularly like the Synergistic Resolution Ref x2 active wires. Up from there the Acoustic Ref x2 active are more refined yet lack the impactful extension of the RR's. however this is by degrees only and the AR yeilds a more cohesive SS with b... 
TWEAKS for PC USB DAC SETUP
Thanks for the info on the USB cable.I used the V-pods for a while too. I've found the Bright Star isonodes to be better, improving the focus and impact, with less blunting of the leading edge of the notes. In other words, a bouncier presentation.... 
Multi Ch. speaker placement tips needed
The setup is set… short wall. The screen is hung, the PJ is set too. The room is finally shut off effectively during listening/viewing .sessions. The lighting is hung and done. The sound scheme is currently 5.1, though 7.1 might be the end result ... 
Shall I add a preamp to my setup?
Maybe, if you like what your main ic is doing for you, that same thing in a spkr cable will work too. Just a thought. You've got Theils, right?if their sensitivity is down around 87 or less I'd say go with a more resolving wire. The Sig 10 x2 acti...

Soooo.... For HT all the talk of dipole - bipole is just that. Talk. No supporters huh? 
A Few Audio Truths I've Learned?
Upon entering the realm of so called “high end audio”….. be afraid. Be very afraid…. And bring money.1 Check your ego at the door and you’ll write less checks.2 Contempt prior to investigation is the only true bar to the enhancement of the auditor... 
Just how big is that driver?
Unsound Good point.Truth in advertising is important too... "Whose truth" looks more and more like the real question. 
Just how big is that driver?
GawdblessIs this a 'never mind the quality, feel the width' sort of question?No. I’m in fact wondering where the truth is for one, and why such disparity exists in this ‘plain to see’ facet of the audio industry.One can argue much about claimed pa... 
Just how big is that driver?
UnsoundWell, yes, and no.I'm serious as to the figures a maker uses for the products they sell which have other makers drivers in them.... Why should a given driver's specified dimensions then differ from those of the provider of the driver being ... 
Just how big is that driver?
it's always refreshing to have exacting standards being employed in such an esoteric and affluent market, huh?Spec sheets should only contain info on color, weight, size, and perhaps price. Everthing else is subjective apparently.

Bob_reynoldsNope.. hadn't seen that item yet. Thanks. OK ... who makes affordable bi/di poles THAT PLAY WELL WITH other speakers? AND CAN BE MOUNTED ONTO A WALL OR A STAND? 
whats better integrated amp. for silverline sr-17
Speaking with Alan Y. the other day he made mention of the fact the Boleros were an exte4nsion of the SR17 series... perhaps looking at those systems with Boleros in them or reading the other Boleros reviews could help... I've also heard that the ...
