hearing tests - where and how?

hearing tests - where and how?
AudioCD works well but it does require a very quiet environment in order to get reliable thresholds. Here is a link to my experiences with it.[url]http://stereophile.com/reference/100digital/[/url] 
Integra 50.1 Speaker Setting Question
Are you sure that such setting gives more current (as it would with a transformer) or, simply, more protection for the AVR (as by introducing a protective resistor)? Both are known to be but I do not know what your AVR does.Kal 
I want to add a sub but have no AV reciever
Possibly.1. Is the audio out analog (not digital)?2. Can you use the audio out along with the built-in speakers that you are using now?3. Can both the audio out and built-ins be controlled by the same volume control?Yes x 3 means it is a go.Kal 
Anyone see an issue with the oppo 83se & old avr?
For stereo analog or digital coax, just fine.Kal

What is "locked out?" 
room treatment, where do you start?
Bass traps are a no-brainer as any enclosed space will have multiple fundamental modes (remember, there are 3 dimensions, not 2). Then, I would suggest you get a copy of RoomEQ Wizard (freeware at http://www.hometheatershack.com/roomeq/) and begin...

Speaker level or line level depending on the particular components available.Kal

Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
"At a pricepoint" is not universally understood. If you want (it) to be understood, you must say so. In addition, even at a pricepoint, the choice might be influenced by the particular pricepoint. For a $2K system, I would certainly agree that a 2... 
Bi-amping or Mono Block amps
Dusty,If you remove the speaker's internal crossover and build/buy an active network customized for the particular speaker, then I am in total agreement with you. Unfortunately, that is rarely the default meaning of bi-amping in the audiophile wor... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Surely, Macrojack, none of those people are among us!! Indifference is rarely apparent here. That leaves the other possibilities. ;-)Kal 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
No. I am acknowledging that decent MCH will take up more space and cost more than decent stereo. I was also saying that prejudice was the only other reason I can see. ;-)Kal 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Multichannel is for better music but I understand that others reject it for reasons of bulk, cost and prejudice. 
Accuphase HS-Link
It is proprietary to Accuphase, just as Denon-Link is proprietary to Denon. HDMI will do this, too. ;-)Kal
