| Room mode ?'s Go to www.guidetohometheater.com and download the sweet spot calculator. You need to move your chair to the best spot in the room. Although the response of the room will not change, where you sit will effect which modes are a problem. For example ... | |
| What needs to go? It's your pre-amp. None of the pre/pros can beat a good two channel analog pre. It's almost impossible to keep all of the digital noise out of the signal when everything is in one box. Your speakers, sub and amp are certainly up to the task of rep... | |
| California Audio Labs Master Series The master series is better than the Alpha and Sigma units. It was a statement product and I believe around 10k. I have the 2500 series dvd player, the last dvd player Cal made and it outperforms my friends Cal dac, I'm not sure which one he has b... | |
| First pre/pro and hopefully last Classe has an entire new line that is due out in the fall with the top of the line model not going to be ready until the first quarter of 2005,the SSP AV900, the SSP AV300 and 600 will be out in fall. | |
| 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... | |
| best for home theater? revel or aerial acoustics? My vote is for Revel. I think they are more detailed. Aerials are nice too but I perfer Revel. | |
| any thoughts on mcintosh ps112 subwoofer? I just purchased one. It's very fast and dynamic. I just watched "Open Range" with Kevin Costner. Boy, the shots are ballsitic with this sub and like cannon shots. It's extremely clean sounding with no over-hang. However, my room is 25 by 17 with ... | |
| 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... | |
| Ground loop, cheater plugs, power cords, many ques Maybe you should break the third prong off the power cord? | |
| 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... |
