| floor standing speakers for surrounds? Bill,The answer to your question is... it depends. It depends on what you set the crossover of your speakers. If you're crossing over at 60-80 range, full range may be a total waste unless you are totally concerned with absolute timbre matching ac... | |
| Using in ceiling surround, shall I upgrade? And are the in ceiling dipole or monopole/direct firing? | |
| Using in ceiling surround, shall I upgrade? Grandtech,Your comment about the dynamics, looking up the theil model and my own experience with the Atlantics tell me that your surrounds are overmatched by a 12k pair of fronts. My suggestion is to go with a highly dynamic pair of in ceiling. Tr... | |
| Using in ceiling surround, shall I upgrade? Kbuzz, you will have to make some concession. If its a larger company they may have a different line of speaker that offers in walls. Otherwise ask your dealer for a good compromise brand. If you are not dealing with a dealer then post your speake... | |
| Using in ceiling surround, shall I upgrade? I use direct radiating and not bipole speakers. With in ceiling if you want the bipole effect you aim the tweeter away from the listening position to the wall. I didn't do that and have my tweeters aimed at the listening position. I listen to mult... | |
| Upgrade has begun. Questions. Steve the oppo for $500 is the best unit out there. Period. If you want to spend half that, then look to Panasonic and Samsung and possibly LG. REad reviews at hometheater.com. They often compare the unit being reviewed to the Oppo, which is their... | |
| Using in ceiling surround, shall I upgrade? Dear Grantech,Lots to dissect in your response. Let me start with the speakers. There are some who are very passionate about brand XYZ. Some will bash some brands and extol others. I'm not of that perspective for a very simple reason: everyone's h... | |
| Need help with Proceed PAV/PDSD Service Bench in MA is the place to go and was recommended to me when I blew a channel (my fault) on my Proceed AMP3. They are very familiar with the Proceed units there. With proceed stuff in general tolerances very tight. Over ventilate. | |
| Using in ceiling surround, shall I upgrade? GrandtechI have both atlantic technology in wall and in ceiling in my secondary setup and revel ceiling in my primary. I did this because of the absence of walls in an open space. No choice. I did have revel s30 surrounds on furniture stands prior... | |

| why use towers if you've got a sub?? I use my HT setup as my 2-channel setup, so I can only comment from that perspective. My end goals are the same as yours. I'm personally very happy and satisfied. I use an Anthem with ARC for both 2 channel and HT setup. My only comments on your t... | |
| Just starting out... 2-channel home theater Velocityofhue's suggestion is a good one. Harley's book is a nice, basic intro and is fun reading. You have a decent budget and I assume that includes electronics. I would suggest you get a pre-pro with room correction. It will make a difference i... | |
| best used Pre/Pro for $1000 I've had nothing but the best experiences with NAD equipment I've owned and still have an NAD receiver from the late 1980s. It's 40wpc is more dynamic than 80wpc receivers from other brands. I also owned an NAD stereo preamp for almost 17 years. A... | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? Great question and I'd be surprised if there weren't many different opinions and even more forthcoming. "Textbook" in a home theater setup, you are likely right. However, there's always an exception and let me explain my perspective.In my opinion,... |
