| ROTEL VS YAMAHA RXV1500 Actually, if you're NOT using the amp section in the Yamaha, you'll might find the sound difference between the Rotel and Yamie NEGLIGABLE! Then, it gets down to features, EQ', switching and upscaling, etc.I've had very good success over the years... | |
| At $5,000.....any thoughts? Why isn't selling your wife's Doc a 3-4x's more expensive system a good deal? Aren't there any deals to be had for $20k systems? I'm sure I could find one or two for millionare's.Good Choices? Ok here's where novices simply either ignore or don't ... | |
| At $5,000.....any thoughts? "She is already happy about the price,..." (Sogood51)Eronious!!!! She's a Doctor!!!!! Charge here triple the price, and charge here for conslting!!!!!!! Tell here she'll not get anything good for under $20k!!If you do it right, She'll appreciate t... | |
| At $5,000.....any thoughts? putting a system together for your wifes Doctor? Why? I wouldn't unless she was paying me, personally!But still, in the fairness to the question, my technical answer is that there's not enough variables and system/room specifics from you here to a... | |
| subwoofer 19 by 18 room "honestly the signal from my two front channels will mostly be absorbed by the couch"No this won't compute much here. Bass modes will still abound, even with the largest of couch and furniture infront of the speakers, regardless of what speakers t... | |
| subwoofer 19 by 18 room Yes! What Bob Reynolds is infering here is correct! You simply don't know what all the variables you were dealing with are, and their impact (no pun). Single 3 biggest issues for sub performance is location, location, location--then setup, level m... | |
| HT seating dilemma " I was planning on sitting 38% from the rear wall as instructed by Ethan Winer of Realtraps fame"Someone telling you they think 38% as a ratio for you to chose I think is rather blanketed and "uninformed" personally! It all comes down to measured... | |
| HT seating dilemma As for the heat in the room, may I strongly encourage you put the equipement OUTSIDE of the room, preferably mounted in a closet, maybe protruding from the outside wall, inside a closet, etc! This will serve to not only help keep the heat out, but... | |
| HT seating dilemma Ah yes, build a riser, and 14 feet from the screen. How big a screen? How good of resolution? HD? HD anamorphic viewing? All this will make a huge difference in pic quality and viewing experience. So I'm just curious.Also, and as important (to me,... | |
| HT seating dilemma other dimmensions are required for any real recommendations here. Also, is the room adequately ventilated with AC? If not, expect a hot room!!!-which no one likes to sit in. Trust me. | |
| Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers? personally don't like maggies for HT. They don't excell in dynamics and inpact, are lowish sensitivity, and don't do well for "off-axis" listening, I find. But oppinions will vary. | |
| Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers? The bottom line is that it comes down to "balance". Everything is relative, and often comes down to compromises in the room, the equipment, the seating possition(s), and possible setup options. To say that you need to put your speakers in one loca... | |
| Why no love for Integra's? "Like Njs says, people love to express their opinions but often they aren't based on any actual experience."(regalma1)Yeah, this is VERY MUCH TRUE of audio indeed! I remember a quote from some multi-millionare guy I read once, which was "The crowd... | |
| Good sounding, small center speaker I would recommend against a "mis-matched" center, as it will not work! You'll never have a believable, cohesive soundstage, with smooth tonal transitions, and a system that "disappears". Rather you'll always be aware of tonal shifts in the sound, ... | |
| Why no love for Integra's? Yeah, no that's true. Njs is right. All the hoping in the world doesn't amount to much. Neither does reading reviews, and taking that as God's spoken word! Time will tell. But it does indeed look good on paper. Maybe it can be moded??? Hummmmmm |
