Rat Shack SPL meter calaibration
Do a search in the forums, Sean posted a complete list of them a while back. 
"Vertical" biamping
I use it with my Legacy Classics and a Sunfire Theater Grand amp. It really helped out the sound and the detail. Probably the biggest change was on the low end where the difference in sound was huge. I have tried several times to go back, but can'...

Is Acoustic Zen better than Harmonic Tech?
Acoustic Zen is WAY better in my system at least for interconnects. I haven't tried the speaker cables yet, but I will be sometime soon. I have tried the HT Truthlinks, HT Pro Silways, AZ WOWs, AZ Matrix reference and AZ Silver Reference. As Ejlif... 
Correct turn on, turn off sequence????
You always turn on working from the source to the amplifiers and turn off working from the amplifiers to the source. The idea is to avoid creating an amplified pop which could damage the speakers.Greg

Great Post! Thanks.Greg 
Interconect recommendation
Chander and Sean, I am kind of curious about the results of the burn-in experiment. If it comes off could you post your results?Thanks, Greg

what mid priced cables should i buy?
Sean's advice is dead on. When you do get back to the cables, I would suggest you try Analysis-Plus Copper 9's for the speaker cables. I've had very good luck with them. I haven't tried MIT cables, so I can't comment on them. If you search the for... 
You gotta love it
Heh, I can't even listen to that track because it bothers me so much to hear that sound coming out of my equipment! 
Has anyone compared the HT Truth-Links to AZ WOWs
Thanks for the responses. I think it might help if I was more specific about my goals. I just got started putting together a HT/Music system and I am trying to bring it up to snuff piece by piece. I am trying to find interconnects which will work ... 
Need Recommendation for Good Outdoor Speakers
Paradigm does also, I haven't heard or priced them, but if I were looking for decent speakers cheap, I would give them a listen. 
Different sensitivity speakers in HT
The best way is to get a Radio Shack sound pressure level meter (about $40-$60 depending on model)and a test CD with test tracks for the channels. Your preamp might also generate test tones for the different tracks which you can use instead of the...
