Different subwoofer at each corner?
Nrenter: Can you help us mortals with the math, please? .7 x -3db means what? Although I know that my speakers are 92db, are you suggesting .7 x 89db = 62.3 as my crossover point? Where did you learn this one? Just curious. 
Interested in the history of the vacuum tube?

Killer Kitchen System under $800 or so?
I have some and am replacing them as I renovate. The problem with them is that if you stand under one speaker, you really get too much localized sound from that channel only. The only way to effectively do in-ceiling is either with dual voice coil... 
Killer Kitchen System under $800 or so?
Keep in mind that in a kitchen you won't always be even close to the "sweet spot". Most of us move around in there. Also, with guests they will most likely never be in the middle.With that said, I use big in-wall paradigms mounted fairly high up (...

HT amp for my father - advice please
Personally, I've had better results keeping ht and whole house separate. For ht that is simple would be an arcam solo. Whole house find a used denon multi zone for 150 for a 3 zone receiver.

Wow, I hit the same issue with Dishnetwork! 
I got the USB DAC per everyone's sugguestion BUT..
My Musiland MD10 handles it all just fine. I stream from Windows 7, Vista, Dishnetwork, Cable, cd and more. The only thing it can't handle is multichannel digital.You do know that most redbook cd's are only 16bit. If you have vinyl ripped at 24 bi... 
impedance question
Keep in mind that the 4 ohm speakers are most likely less efficient than the 6 ohms speakers (ie 85db vs 87db) so the increase in wattage output won't be as drastic as you think. 
Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?
Started when I was 15 with my first table-I'm getting buried with an mp3 set to random! 
Vintage Fisher, What's best 500C/B or 800B?
Buy both and sell the 800 to pay for upgrades to the 500?
