| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system I'd go with mirage omnis, which can be used as wall or ceiling mounts--they are very detailed despite dispersing over a very wide area and sound quite full range for a small, non-descript enclosure. to power them you could get a multizone receiver... | |
| How do you use a sub with active speakers do it the way you suggest--since you don't have speaker level ouputs on the preamps, you have to use the preamp rca outs to the low level input on your rel. | |

| Mellencamp on Music Business mellencamp is a nice guy has produced one noteworthy album in a long, undoubtedly honorable career--i'm not sure he's acheive3d the status of visionary. | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates interesting, bizarre post. lloyd is often my favorite guitarist--listen to his shit with matthew sweet, among others. i chanced to see him live in chicago recently, and he was completely wacked out--palapably schizo--tho he's still a great guitari... | |

| Joseph Audio Vs. Von Schweikert Vs.? you nominate some outstanding candidates, although you'll be hard pressed to score some of 'em at your $1500 price point. for fronts in a ht, i don't think you can beat dunlavy--they're the best imaging, most detailed speaker i've heard. you wont ... | |

| cd recorder vs. computer burner to solve the great mystery, "vf" is an inadvertent typo--i meant to type "cd" but misfired. my specific quest in starting the thread is to seek insight as to why a cd burned on the standalone cdr sounds different (and, to my ears, truer to the ori... | |
| ARCAM DV137 HOOKUPS i'd connect your video as you state above. for audio, i would connect both the hdmi to your yamaha and a set of analog cables from the arcam to the analog "cd" input on the yamaha--you would then use the dvd mode on the yamaha for dvds and cd mode... | |
| Receivers as has often been stated, an ht receiver's power specs are hugely misleading because there is no established standard for how they're published. since most consumers buy on the basis of claimed power ratings, many manufactuturers claim power ratin... | |
