| Is a down-firing sub into carpet OK? If anything, I'd put the slab of marble "on top" of the sub! That added weight should make the response stronger, tighter, and more solid...if anything. | |
| Multichannel tube amp recommendation please I might consider 3 channels of tubes across the front, but not the rears. Absolute tonality is often different behind head/ears/sides anyway. And there's usually not as much consistent info anyway. The front mains are the most important part of th... | |
| recommend entry-level high-efficiency loudspeakers Without knowing the variables of your room, I'd "third' the recommendation on the Triangles. These dynamic simple speakers are perfect for good tubes it appears | |
| Best way to go HT with focus on 2 channel I personally agree about the movies, and that's that the picture is first priority for the experience. Still, as an adiophile first, quality of sound has to be there, but it's second for the experience.I would still rather have quality over quanti... | |
| Is a down-firing sub into carpet OK? Contrary to popular belief, downfiring subs are fine on carpet. Bass waves are so long, the thin carpet (relative) is not even a factor to bass response. Infact, firing into a carpet (port as well), if anything, would elimiate some high frequency ... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Yeah $25k sounds cheep for what they're touting. And it does sound like another "I paid you off, or scratched your back" kind of review. We've read these before. Time will tell. I'd like to hear too. Please keep us up to date, anyone who ever gets... | |
| HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music For $600 retail, I like what many people used at the CES show in their video booths, and that's the Infinity Tss750 system. You should use with receiver with crossover adjustments at 100hz/125hz. But otherwise, for that money, I don't think you'll... | |
| HarmanKardon, Yamaha or Denon My suggestion is to go used at a good discount, so you can afford a better receiver! If you don't need the latest PLIIx and such, you can get some overall better sounding receivers(sound is everything on any amp/pre-pro...period!) by shopping the ... | |
| Tube Home Theater PreAmp? Jeffreybehr is telling it all | |
| Subwoofer calibration quandary... Briefly scanning over your post (I'm tired), it appears you have problems with getting your speakers/sub to couple between 80hz-125/160hz). You NEED TO make sure your speakers play solid at these critical bass frequencies, which are likely played ... | |
| Best way to go HT with focus on 2 channel A lot above, like switching the pre/pro through your 2channel pre, will work fine. That's how I've done it in the past, and it's perfect. And you WILL NEED an outboard pre/pro..don't use the multichannel out's of you're dvd for dD/DTS processing. ... | |
| Fake plants behind speakers a good idea? It does a bit of both, alot depending on the density of the tree. Still however, it does improve in situations where either aborption or diffusion is needed. Plants help with slap echo as well. Still it depends.For instance I find dipoles and plan... | |
| Dipole rear speakers ??? Also, you could easily mount your dipoles upside-down,firing toward the floor and ceiling along sides and on the back wall, if need be. Still a better option likely than dirrect firing on the back wall in your sitch, without any other considerations | |
| Dipole rear speakers ??? The cancellation issue mentioned by mrrobbcc above does not really exist/come into play from my experiences. You do however want them above your head somewhat ideally. For what you are doing I still like this setup. Actually, mounted on the ceilin... | |
| Stereo amplifier for a pair of passive subwoofers. Both Bryston and Parasound have been well know to do well in the bass department. You'll not go wrong with either. It's all a matter of finding the good deal for you probabaly. |
