Video Calibration?
One GIANT caution w/ the Avia home theater calibration, their blue filter truely is terrible. I love the AVIA disk a lot more than the Video Essentials disk, but the Video Essentials disk has a MUCH better blue filter that works awesome for the co... 
Best HT speaker system
SINCE you didn't put in a price, I'll tell you that the "greatest system in the world, at any price" (Quoted from Stereophile Guide to Home Theater). This system won the 2001 Stereophile system of the year.5 ATC Active 100's plus 2 of the 01/15 10...

Aerial Speakers for Music and HT
I've heard the whole line up and down the aerial list. My favorite was the 8b's. In fact, I'm now selling a pair here on Audiogon. I'm moving up to ATC 100's... The 8b's also LOOK the best of the entire line. I'm not a big fan of the 10T's unless ...

Ok, now I've just enrolled back into college to expand my engineering degree into becoming an electrical engineer to get an idea of what in the world are they talking about!!! I think the more I read about this, the more confused I get. We need to... 
What would you do about a sleazy buyer??
You paid $50 for their trouble! Wow, I want to do business with you. You're a man/woman among men/women! It really does beg the need for a discussion on offering our time to a sale and how MUCH time.If the buyer would have just told me, "Hey, I do... 
What would you do about a sleazy buyer??
Onhwy61, nice comments...you must be a lawyer too?Please allow me to interject before you take this overboard. I NEVER jerked anyone around. I had 2 emails in my inbox at the SAME time. One read, "I'm interested in your amps for XXXX dollars". The...

None of the above. Go with the Richard Gray Power Company.... Many power conditioners actually filter out the unwanted energy, thereby reducing the amount of power that one can draw from a circuit. 
"Pro" Active Monitors
Well, you are definately correct, in some cases. Take the ATC speakers. They started out as ONLY doing pro-audio. All of their speakers are internally bi-amped or tri-amped depending on the number of drivers. ATC took home the Stereophile system o... 
Add'l amps for ARC/ML HT System?
Try the Bryston 7b 500Watt Monoblocks in Series and Parallel mode. In parallel, they can still drive 1 Ohm speakers with ease. I've generally found on 6 or 8 Ohm speakers that Parallel is so much power that you get completely fatigued from the INT...
