| who makes a decent center channel speaker? "Unfortunately, the construction of the vast majority speakers is faulty BY INTENT as they cater to aesthetics and convenience rather than performance." Faulty by Intent? Um whatever "faulty" means. I've known enough high end speaker manufacturers... | |
| Home theater without center channel? Opinions? You could ask a dozen professional reviewers, speaker designers, audio equipment engineers, and retail av sales guys their opinions on such matters, and you'll most likely end up with variance across the board. I believe this is true. In fact, I'v... | |
| who makes a decent center channel speaker? "I would stick with the same brand as your left and right channels" (Mlawitm)"Not only with the same brand but as similar to the L/R speakers as possible. I prefer and use three identical speakers across the front" (Kr4)"I second Kal - same brand ... | |
| Home theater without center channel? Opinions? Depending on your setup, your seating arrangement, etc, results will vary. What is usually sacrificed is an anchored center image from dialog and such, as you sit off-center. This may or may not be a problem, depending - like I said...it's variabl... | |
| ANything beat onkyo for ht receiver $500? The HK AVR247 is cleaner and more neutral sounding, IMO. Also, better current deliver historically on the HK's. It's a consideration. Also, companies that mod them available. Good luck | |
| What channels are heard in a comercial theater?? I'm not sure. It's either as other said, all the side channels playing at same time on sides, and/or matrix'd rears in a 6.1 track. Or, it could be some matrix of fronts spread to sides, but doubt it. I'd have to look into it, and any differences ... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? "IME, if they sell it out of the stores they will start at 10- 20% off full MSRP and work their way down from there. By the time they get to a realistic discount from street price, there will only be bones left on the carcass!"Again, I'm not intim... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? Well I'm not intimately familiar with how the liquidation process all works. But I know this much. They're sure as heck aren't going to donate the stuff charity, or trade it to arms dealers in the middle east! Heck, there's deals on the net for th... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? "If they bring a liquidator in, its unlikely that there will be any "real deals", IME."So basically a "liquidator" would mean prices about 20%-30% off retail, right? (lol) Sounds about right. | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? Ok, well then there you have it! It's official!Just about every audio enthusiasts and/or audiophile here apparently agrees that Thiel's are indeed better (+ value) and Wilson's are worse (+ > cost , thus = < value), correct? Surely there mus... | |
| 3.1 channel processor....is there such a thing? Yes, get 5.1 channel processor and use 3 of them.. | |
| Upgrading from Onkyo 875 to separates-worth it? "I don't like burning all those watts in the amps for nothing and it is not sensible ecologically" FTR, in case anyone else is wondering here, when you run a receiver without hooking into the amp section with your speakers, you are not running a l... | |
| Anyone using a Power Plant to power an XBR CRT? Really? $600. Hummm. That is a good deal. Think my 300 was like $850 that I paid.So where do you find that deal? Lol | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? Wow. I find it rather interesting regarding personal taste here. I've owned a couple of pairs of Thiel's in the past, as well as sold them on a retail level. While I felt they represented some very good value(I've had 2.3's, 1.5's, SCS3's and PCM ... | |
| Anyone using a Power Plant to power an XBR CRT? I could see it being something worth tinkering with, if you were trying to squeeze every possible ounce out of a large high definition display or projection system, that was being scrutinized for a large critical image. But for a 32" display? I me... |
