| Receiver shutting down during high loads The first thing I'd check is whether or not you have a "dead-short" between speaker wires! This will cause the receiver to go into a shutdown/"protection" mode in most models. Might check that. Also, yes, did you change speakers? Do you run the sp... | |
| Room size "From CD to CD and even cut to cut on the same CD, it's astounding to hear the differences in bass response. Some pound with bass and I have to back off the sub volume and bypass filter. Yet on other CD's (generally the earlier the recording, the ... | |
| B & K AVR 507 S II or Sunfire Ultimate Receiver II what gear do you have? | |
| So how's it going with HD DVD? so, I take it the Toshiba is the only unit still? | |
| So how's it going with HD DVD? You know part of the problem has to be lack of public awareness do to ADVERTISING!!!...or, lack there-of! Has anyone even seen an advertisement for HD DVD on anything main steam, other than audio mags? I haven't.I certainly see Bose's ad's on ever... | |
| Room size Basically, your space is a typical small/medium domestic space, regarding the main listing/viewing area. However, as Jimburger mentioned, the adjoining open areas need to be considered as the ovearall space. These spaces act somewhat as a bass tra... | |
| Best cheap projector for small HT. "The life expectancy is 10,000 hours pre tube rated" (Stylinlp 38)Yeah 10,000 hours is how long the tubes will actually operate. You're talking nothing of actual lasting image quality from the guns!!! After 4000 hours, you're starting to look at a... | |
| Best cheap projector for small HT. Well, to do a CRT "right", you have to consider all the costs and trade-offs really. First, the projector will be in the room with you, likely over your head, as opposed to behind, maybe in a cubbyhole, behind a wall, on a bookshelve, or whatever.... | |
| Best cheap projector for small HT. I personally do indeed love the "highly calibrated and maintained picture" of a good CRT projector. Blacks are black, and thus contrast looks superb, as well as the smooth vibrant overall image. However, the price of Lcos and even 3 chip DLP's are... | |
| good amp match? Should be fine. The warm slighty laid back sound of the Aerial's mated with the Plinius should be good | |
| Need Advice on NEAR HT speaker set You need to hear these, or any, before you buy! Preferably in a demo that's setup well/correctly. That way you can hear what they do. Also, even if someone had good experiences with the speakers, you need to know whether they work in your setup/ap... | |
| Is my ceiling too low? Your lower ceiling is only a problem in that you're getting more reflection in time vs. direct sound from your speakers, all things equal. If you sit closer to your speakers, this isn't an issue so much. Also, more "controlled focussed speaker des... | |
| Yamaha YSP-1 Personally, I've heard the unit, and you still need "gear" to make it work. Ok, so one speaker-does-it-all approach. Yeah, you're better off with just 2 well setup speakers and a hidden subwoofer, or a 2.1 system, maybe playing in 2 channel surrou... | |
| Buildling a Frankenstein HT system.... My recommendation, rather than doing a mix-match, 4.1 channel system, is to simply stick with a well thought out and put-together 2.1 channel system. Forget the 4 channels! If you're not going to go 5.1 or more matched speakers, you might as well ... | |
