Can my speakers be connected to my TV?
TV's do not have speaker terminals. A TV's internal amp is probably no more that 10 watts at most. Enough to power the tiny drivers in the TV.If you have speakers with their own internal amp, then you can run RCA cables from Audio Out on the back ... 
Subwoofer vibration foot isolators????
Kr4 got it right.I have an SVS PC Ultra 13 that sits on a hearth that is three layers of flagstone. I thought that placement would be appropriate. But the room still shook. Not good.Luckily I had a set of sorbothane pucks laying around to put unde... 
Speaker choice for workshop
I don't even plug in my table saw until I've downed a six pack.Get some Bose cubes and a bass module and pretend it's music.Your pal,Nubs(sorry. couldn't resist this stupid post) 
Best movie for subwoofer test ?

SVS Cylinder Subs - WAF
Oh jeeez! The footprint is the problem here and the PC wins hands down. The altitude might be a deal breaker.I mocked a projection screen a couple years ago and I thought it looked ridiculous.Ended up being too small....he..he.BTW I lust over a ta... 
SVS Cylinder Subs - WAF
I bought one of these babies ten months ago but it's not quite such a "baby". When it arrived I was a bit surprised that it was not quite as slim as it looks on their web site.Kinda looks like a tall oil black drum. But I didn't care because I liv... 
Projection Screen
Best bang for the buck is probably at carada.com. Some assembly required.I painted my screen on the wall and it works beautifully for less than $40.Go to avsforum.com for tons and tons of info on DIY and commercial screens. You'll probably hate me... 
Receiver with sleep funtion
I'm sorry, but this question crosses the line for me.Have you done any homework on the subject or do you expect us to do this for you?I have a preamp with that function but it's a bit dated so I won't even mention the model. 
Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ?
You won't be disappointed with the PC Ultra.If your Denon "remembers" bass mgmt settings for different inputs you're all set. Haasle free for movies and music. 
Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ?
I'll second the SVS rec. I've had a PC13 Ultra (cylinder version) for a couple months and it is a beast for movies and quite musical as well for half the price of the Fathom.It is "fast" enough to keep up with my Martin Logans effortlessly.I consi... 
How important is HDMI?
I have an older 5 channel processor (Anthem AVM-2)with of course no HDMI inputs. I would like to continue to use it. I have the same pre/pro and love with no intentions of abandoning it any time soon.For us to get the best of both worlds we need t... 
Screens
Carada is a good choice if a fixed screen is what you're seeking. But there are DIY options at a fraction of your budget. ALOT depends on your projector's brightness and the light control in your room.Go to avsforum.com. In the screen section you ... 
Video for Movie Room
I've had an AX100 for a couple months and it is an awesome machine! It will fight through "some" ambient light quite well but you'll find yourself wanting the room darker for better contrast and the full effect.However you shouldn't use a PJ as yo... 
Bypass Preamp& Amp
You can't bypass the Denon unless you run Y connectors from your inputs to both pieces and a second set of speaker wire out to the speakers from the integrated amp. If you do that, make damn sure the Denon and the integrated are NOT both powered u... 
Beginning projector...
There is a huge buzz about the new Panasonic PT AX100U front projector on avsforum right now. It is extremely bright and designed to make some ambient light acceptable.It has a feature that will automatically adjust the brightness of the pic as th...
