| Hate to ask...... Hey, I love HT, too. My system does double duty with audio and HT. I enjoy a great movie as much as a great album any day. | |
| Jazz Review: Miles Davis Excellent post, SD. I'm very new to Jazz, so I appreciate the info.FWIW to other members, I bought Sketches of Spain last year in an attempt to broaden my musical horizons. I hope I don't get the boot for heresy, but I didn't like it at all. It br... | |
| Who R U? Guess I'll step up. I'm a 32-year-old police officer with the Seattle Police Department. I'm married with three wonderful children. The youngest was just born this month. I graduated from BYU with a degree in Spanish Translation, believe it or not... | |
| Any advise to improve my system One word: Q-tips. Try 'em and tell me I'm wrong. If you're not too attached to your speakers, here are two options you might try. For supreme detail and transparency, consider electrostatic speakers. I've been very impressed with Martin Logan CLS ... | |
| "All-in-one box system" that is High End Check out Acoustic Energy's Aego. (No, I'm not a dealer.) It got a rave review a few months back in Stereophile. After that, I went and listened to it at a local dealer's store. I agreed completely with the review. Excellent sound in a tiny packag... | |
| A minor rant I think Tireguy has the right idea--$20k for a car with $30k wheels sounds like a steal! Of course I would immediately turn around and sell those tires to Tireguy for $20k, effectively making my purchase price for the car nil. ;-)I understand SD's... | |
| Integrating two systems For CD play, use the two outputs on the CDP to feed a signal to both systems. For the tuner, use the pre-out's from the receiver to feed the integrated amp. Ideally you'd like to keep the speaker cable lengths the same in a two-channel system, but... | |
| Absorbtion? Glass reflects. The carpeting and padding will dampen reflections, but it's impossible for another person to tell you if it's excessive in your system without hearing it. Best to compare your sound with what you hear in a friend's or dealer's syst... | |
| Adding a center channel I assume you have two stereo amps (and not monos) and are looking to add the center channel for home theater. You'll need a a component to handle the preamp function between the source component (DVD player, VCR) and the center channel's amp. I re... | |
| Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers $6?? I'm game. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Lead shots for speaker stand. The following info was taken from www.audiopoints.com:Recommended Fill Materials Good - White Silica--a pulverized dry glass that will add density to the tubes. NO SAND - too absorptive. Glass is a non-conductive material that does not absorb trem... | |
| Martin Logan's Prodigy Like you, I read the recent Stereophile review that praised the Prodigy's for their bass. That review was in complete disagreement with the conclusion I drew on their low-end when I auditioned them at my local dealer's showroom. I heard them in a ... | |
| Best Sony XBR TV ever? I have a three-year-old pre-Wega 35" XBR (that's right, it was 35" not 36" like the current Wega). My dad has about a 10-year-old 29" XBR. I think all of the XBR's are great and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I've seen the newer Wega's and t... | |
| The Best Movie sound Tracks The Power of One. American Beauty. Amadeus. | |
| How do I make a HT system out of this? 1) I'm not familiar with either speaker, but use your best pair for your main left and right speakers. 2) You can use any speakers you want for the rears. Usually, in order to mount them on the wall and out of the way, people use bookshelf speaker... |
