| My NHT 2.5 Speakers Are Hungry I guess I'm wondering if a $200 price point amplifier would help my system or not, and if I can still use my surround receiver in my system. | |
| My NHT 2.5 Speakers Are Hungry So from the first post it sounds like my present receiver might be giving it enough current. Would the Adcom GFA2 (which I can get for about $200 on ebay) give me a significant improvement? Can I use my front L and R pre-outs to feed the amp and t... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I'm 24 and I'm a web designer for a bank. I think my system retails for about 3k, but I have under $700 invested in it. It's all used, and I don't think it's true "audiophile" quality, but I like it very much. My system is centered around NHT stuf... | |
| Are DIY Cables Worth It? I've never even heard of solid core speaker wire, let alone considered using it. Is there a good place I can go to get a primer on the basics and intermediate knowledge about this stuff? It seems like just when I feel like I'm getting the hang of ... | |
| Which Subwoofer Connection Should I Use? So when I listen to music in only 2 channels, does the subwoofer still receive a signal? | |
| Which Subwoofer Connection Should I Use? So it looks like I'll have more control over what gets sent to the subwoofer if I use the subwoofer out, but here is what the choice is down to:1.) Using the receiver's pre-out L and R into the subwoofer L and R line in with the receiver's "subwoo... | |
| Which Subwoofer Connection Should I Use? To get the LFE channel for movies, I have my receiver's subwoofer setting on "no" so it sends the LFE channel to the L and R channels. Then I use the L and R pre-out to go into the subwoofer L and R line inputs.If I go the route of using the subwo... | |
| Are DIY Cables Worth It? Thank you for the recommendation on the Mapleshade cables; they look very promising. I would like to address as assumption about price/quality ratio for this thread. For any general quality-level of speaker cable there are great prices, average pr... | |
| Are DIY Cables Worth It? I have NHT 2.5 speakers and a Harmon Kardon AVR 240 receiver, so I doubt I would reap many benefits from super high-quality cables. Right now I'm using Monster cables, and I don't really have a problem with them, but from the things I read on diff... | |
| Are DIY Cables Worth It? It looks like the answer to my original question is no. | |
| Are DIY Cables Worth It? Oh, I definitely think it would be fun as a project, but I also don't want to spend $100 on materials and 4 hours of time to get cables that sound as good as something I could have paid $20 for at Circuit City. Here's the thing, I would like to ha... | |
| Mid price receiver I just picked up the Harmon Kardon AVR 240 for my home theater setup, and it is amazing. I started with an Onkyo TX-SR304 which had a really nice sound to it (only 5.1 setup) and switched to a Sony STR-DG800 for the extra rear surround outputs (7.... |
