| Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel If you have a receiver or pre-pro with room correction the back panel becomes irrelevant. That's why Revel has dropped all EQ from the newest subs. I now never use the EQ on my B15 after an upgraded pre-pro. | |
| Poor sound from rental Blu-Ray discs Looks like Lionsgate has removed all lossless audio from rental disks. There are several threads all over the place on the topic. Not sure if other studios have followed the same practice. I rented Hunger Games off an Apple TV so that's why I didn... | |
| 5.1 and 7.1 Information In Two Channels? If you are only playing in two channel and--important point--you have all other speakers specified to NONE then toes the receiver or pre-pro will downmix to 2.0. Some bluray players like the Oppo allow you to specify a 2.0 downmix in te player. If... | |
| Poor sound from rental Blu-Ray discs This has been a topic that has come up on Scott Wilkinson's podcast, Jome Theater Geeks. I believe that you are correct that some rental disks do not have the lossless audio. Personally I have not come across it with any of my rental disks. Listen... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Nice to meet a fellow-Rush fan! I strongly suggest you try and pickup the Rush BluRay. I think that will give you a good reference disk to test out your system with. As with anything, source makes all the difference.If you really want to test your... | |
| improving music While an integrated amp or other component change may or may not help, could you please be a bit more detailed in your setup and what exactly you are unhappy with?Oftentimes, system setup, speaker placement, crossover to sub, room conditions and o... | |
| Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel The cherry Revel sub Willand pointed out is a B15 and not a B15a. The person doing the listing has it wrong. The B15 has the characteristic feet (which that auction has) and the B15a does not have the three feet on it. The back panel is also disti... | |
| Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel The Revel B15 and B15a subwoofers are, hands down stunningly spectacular subs. If you can pickup a used one, by all means, they are worth every penny. I own a B15 and can tell you that I have never, ever been itching to upgrade that sub.The new Re... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp The height of the speaker's tweeter should be (generally speaking) at the level of your ear when you are seated. So it sounds like you nailed it. There some exceptions to this rule with tower speakers, however, where some have the tweeter higher t... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Lots to digest in what you wrote. But also lots of information. I'll try and give you some additional thoughts later, but not having the subs turned on is likely 50% or more of your issue in 2-channel--especially if you were crossing over at 100hz... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Audio in a room can be complicated if you are trying to identify a certain something and debugging it takes time and a methodological approach. There are really no short cuts. Here is what i would do in your situation:1) I'd use only a single subw... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp I'm going to throw out some questions to you so that I can understand your situation better:1) What are you doing with speaker placement? I mean with both the B&W and Velodyne subs. The lack of punch--especially if you are crossing over at 100... | |
| Cost of Keeping Components on All the Time? Jedinite24 is correct. Try using a Kill-A-Watt meter. It's very simple to use. I use one at my house. Otherwise, you're just guessing. You enter in the cost of your electric rate and then plug in your devices. It then calculates the daily, monthly... | |
| Your thoughts on Tekton M-lore speakers IT Merlin,If you like the speakers and the sound you'll love them in a home theater setup. Don't get caught up in brand name comparisons. Speakers are arguably the most subjective of audio components. So, based on what I saw about the specs etc of... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice Brian,To simplify things in your case, if you are using HDMI then use that for audio and video. Toslink, S/PDIF optical are redundant and you don't need them. Use HDMI and you are good. Save yourself some $$$ buy HDMI cables from monoprice.com and... |
