| Power Consumption idle I know I have a few high usage items, fish tank for example. The pumps are ~450watts 24/7, lights 360watts 12h/day, ect.. My guess is ~75.00 month.(ouch)Everything in the house is electric so, no gas bill at least. Although the dryer, hot water/he... | |
| Power Consumption idle Thanks for the answers, I thought the real answer would lie in the "Kill a Watt", I'm just a major cheapo. I guess I don't really want to know how much my large salt water fish tank is using, anybody want to buy a large tank?My rate is .0814 avera... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check This can go either way.1. You screwed them by wasting their time with bids. You picked their brains, occupied their time and spent your money elsewhere.2. They screwed themselves by not cutting you a deal.I'm sure the truth lies in the middle.The ... | |
| High end vs internet I liked Tireguy's answer. This could be a touchy subject.In my experience, more dealers know less about this whole field than 85% of the members here at Audiogon. I will, and have, paid full retail if the dealer can provide the level of service an... | |
| Looking for a cheap sub... Nothing is worse than a really crappy sub. I would hold out and get the HSU VFT-2. It really is a nice subwoofer, and will lighten the load on the rest of your system.Your speakers are not flat to 30 regardless of what the specs say. I know "full ... | |
| New Meadowlark Ospreys I know, my description sounds crazy. I might me more of a mental thing(the tweeters are physically larger than my mains, Heron I's) but the highs just seemed fuller than I was use to, in a good way.I kicked the hell out of my self trying to decide... | |
| Multichannel amps suggestions? Not sure what your main amps are, but...This might be only relevant if you are using the amp as a 2ch amp also, but might play a factor in the center channel mode.Some amps use a power supply per channel and some "share" one or two power channels ... | |
| New Meadowlark Ospreys I have a pair, one thing I noticed is for lack of better words, the tweeter seemed "large and full". Just a weird conclusion I came to.I really didn't mess around with them too much as mains, they are the rears in my HT system.Some of us are sicke... | |

| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Jeff,God I must be getting old(I'm 26) to say this. I two have a large urge to go after what you are trying to get but have so far resisted, and it's getting easier. It seems the older I get, each day just a tich, max spl's are no longer a concern... | |
| Sophias vs. Revel Studios For the money the Sophia's sure are little tiny things... Just a big footed American point of view.Marty | |
| How to design music room? I am sure Rives will plug his services here. This is meant as a suggestion, if I were to build a room, I would seek professional help.At the least, I would search the old threads for recommended books, and do some major homework. It is mind blowin... | |
| Anyone using the hsu VTF-2 subwoofer? I have use both. VTF-2 the two VTF-3's. I have never really tried to integrate the subs into straight two channel, not sure if this is your intent. The 2 does have its limitations, with a 150 watt amp this makes sense. At the time I had the 2 and ... | |
| What size subwoofer to get? Thanks Rives, give a guy with two subs an excuse to buy two more... | |
| Am I being fair? People don't read the descriptions...You could say it is in orbit and you would still get questions about the shipping costs.While a "few" does sound fishy, it's your deal and you call the shots. You did list the preferred sale method, so that's i... |
