| I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH 61" Toshiba between my NHT 3.3's. Fortunately, my room is deep enough (23'), that I've moved the 33" deep 3.3's a few inches from the wall, moving the faces of the speakers almost 10" forward of the screen. Imaging is great, although at higher SPL... | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. If you've got the patience and access to the right equipment (I do!), you can cut aluminum round stock to the thickness you require, then countersink (a standard drill bit will work just as well) to the depth you want. The aluminum is soft, and ea... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Only ONE? Try "Angel Eyes" by Jeff Healy Band; "Still Got the Blues for You"- Gary Moore; Marc Cohn- "True Companion"; Sade- "No Ordinary Love"..... Kinda like the potato chip commercial.... I couldn't have just one... And they all sound good on a... | |
| Any "tiny" DVD players ??? That TEAC unit is available online thru several retailers. In fact, that's the only component missing from my mini "Reference" system in MY bedroom. It has the added bonus of onboard Dolby Digital decoding. Right now, ubid.com is offering these co... | |
| Sellers that don't respond What about the boneheads who reply, but don't indicate what they're replying TO?"Yes, it's still available". Or "my asking price is firm". These guys don't realize that you may have responded to 20 posts a day for the past 2 weeks, and you don't h... | |
| Help with NHT 3.3 s Bob,I'm using 3.3's myself, biamped with a Sunfire stereo amp (300 w/p/c), and 2 channels of a Sunfire Cinema Grand (200 w/p/c to the mid/tweet). My room measures 16' x 24' x 9' tall at the low end, tapering to 13' at the peak of the ceiling. Mine... | |
| Help with speaker selection, please If you've got $8k to burn, you might be best off to get 2 pair of speakers on the used market. Allocate, say, $1000 for a pair of thrashers to listen to rap, country, and your playstation on. Then funnel the remaining $7000 into a worthy pair of e... | |
| BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803 Doug...I was jerkin' your chain. Your descriptions of the drivers, the functions of the drivers, and the crossovers is so off-base that I couldn't even finish reading your comments/ observations. So if you agree with me, then you admit you don't k... | |
| BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803 6" woofers performing as subs??? Is this a desktop audio system or are we talking about genuine B&W loudspeakers here? I have a friend who's son thinks anything other than a tweeter is a subwoofer. Of course, he's only 16. Which could explain ... | |
| Biggest bucks = Satifaction? Hmmmmm... I think speakers are going to take the cake here. Hands down. My upgrade from Paradigm Studio Monitors (yeah... the "Originals", not the newer, "Reference" crap! What a waste of R&D) to NHT 3.3's. That was a nice step up. Demo's for $2K. Not a... | |
| Hate to ask...... I think the HT and High-End audio are a deadly combination. Unfortunately, to get into the high-end home theater, it tends to cut into the high end audio budget. Baby steps is easy to preach, but hard to practice.With my most recent 2-channel syst... | |
| A minor rant Duh. Additionally, it seems that isolation would be more practical beneath something other than a solid state amplifier. Like a piece of tube equipment (to negate microphonics)... Or CD transport. I wonder if the bearings placed under the speaker ... | |
| Dogs who love music Gator, a 185 lb. Old English Mastiff LIKED the Judas Priest song "Hell Bent for Leather". Fortunately, my tastes in music have slightly matured since then. He would howl everytime it played. If it were in pain, I doubt he would come in the house f... | |
| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? Me??? I pay cash for vehicles.... If I can't afford to purchase out of pocket, I don't need it. My only payment obligations are to my mortgage company, utilities, and child support . The credit cards are kept close to zeroed-out, and they're most ... | |
| Are Sony SACD Machine Owners Crazy?? I've yet to audition SACD at home, and don't intend to do so until the format is a proven "keeper". But in regards to the post.... I have friends who swear they can't hear the difference between an MP3 and audio CD. This is regardless of the quali... |
