| Processor Bandwidth necessary for HDTV No 45mhz isn't nearly enough. I have 100hz and I can still see a sligth degradation of the picture when my switcher is in the circuit. You can buy a separate switcher from someone like Extron that will handle the job. | |
| Bryston SP 1.7 Vs. Proceed AVP Bryston has a superior analog pre-amp section. However the AVP's dacs are much better. Because of this with a digital connection, the AVP is going to be more refined. I'm certain of it. I've owned the AVP and audtioned both in the same system. How... | |
| Floating ground: Any danger? Alternatives? From what I've read, you're OK if you are just floating one ground but it's dangerous to float them all. | |
| Has anyone auditioned the BeoLab 5 speakers? I've only heard them in a very bad acoustical environment at the Galleria in Houston. They were unbearablely harsh. I walked out of the store. I don't know if it was the set-up or electronics but they were easily the worst sounding speakers in the... | |
| Speakers for Home Theater/Audio for 8K Take a look at the Mcintosh Academy series. I'm very pleased with mine. If you go to the site there is a link to the review in The Perfect Vision. I purchased my stuff over the internet and used. I like the highs and bass more than the B&W N80... | |

| Where to start with room acoustics Have someone take a mirror and slide it along the wall. When you see the speaker in the mirror with you sitting in your listening position, that is the first reflection point for that speaker in your seating position. Repeat the procedure for each... | |
| Best Cheap acoustic wall treatments? Yes they can be made very cheaply. All you need is some wood for frames for the 2 feet by 4 feet Owens-Corning 703. Burlap is a cheap fabric that can be purchased in a few colors and is acoustically transparent. The best looking fabrics as well as... | |

| Dish satelite vs Cable quality? For me, sat was better than digital cable. More programming and a better picture with a cheaper price. I haven't seen HDTV on cable because they didn't have it when I switch. My local Cox keep pushing the date back. I grew tired of waiting and wen... | |
| Who has experience shipping large speakers? Yes when you have to ship stuff that is over 150 pounds, it is expensive. There is no cheap solution. ABS seems to have the best rates and I've had very positive experiences with them. Even items that aren't that heavy but longer than average like... | |
| balanced vs unbalanced pre amp I'm no expert but I'll try to explain. Unbalanced has one positive and one ground wire. Balanced has two positive and one ground wire. Balanced is able to uneliminate any noise by "comparing" the two positive signals and eliminating the difference... | |
