How do I merge home theater into my 2 chan setup?
Mitch4t,I may be a little late, but I had the exact same speakers you had, the Infinity Kappa 9 and the Kappa Video. If you want to improve the sound greatly, take the center channel and put it in the fireplace and set a match to it.Sorry, but the... 
Problem with Home Theater Volume
Marty,I think I might know aht could be happening. When I first set up my system, everything was fine and nice and loud. Once, when listening to my CD, I saw that the LED on my Pre/Pro said "OVERLOAD - Attenuating"Basically what had happened is th... 
Subwoofer slam vs boom
I noticed the slam in my system vastly improved when I switched to a different amp in my woofers. I used to use IRS Betas with Adcom monoblocks and they had some good bass, but then I upgraded to the IRS V, which have a 2,000 watt amp in each towe... 
Deteriorating speakers -- Class A today, C Tomorr
I agreed to buy a pair of used speakers for MUCH more than $10K here a while ago. I went up to listen to them driving a U-Haul. I got home late that night and set up my pair of Infinity IRS V.I would not have paid for them to be shipped without li... 
Deteriorating speakers -- Class A today, C Tomorr
I have gone and auditioned some pretty high end gear and compared it with my system at home, the Infinity IRS V for my mains and I have some very low serial number betas as well. They still sound class A to me. 
Anybody know the lowest freq on "Who Let The Dogs Out"?
The question is the answer. Who is on first? Who is on first.In a startling turn of events, Peter Townsend was arrested today by Interpol, as it turns out that The Who let the dogs out.If you want really deep bass, you need to go to the competitio... 
Suggestions for Direct TV w/ hard drive
I don't understand your question. Your post was titled:Suggestions for Direct TV w/ hard driveWhat hard drive? You are asking for a lot of recommendations with supporting points, which is like an essay. Football and basketball are coming, sure, bu... 
How much does your system retail for?
$162,850.00 for my home theater system, with the majority ($94,000) in the 4 pairs of Infinity IRS (V, Beta x2, Gamma) speakers.I thought I would add it up and see how my johnson, er, I mean system measured up to Albert Porter, Adsal and some of t...

Best Dual purpose HT and Music speakers 10k
Well, with Genesis coming back into business, you *might* be able to pair their center channel they made with the old Infinity IRS Betas. The betas can be had for around $4K give or take and are amazing still to this day. The 8 servo controlled 12... 
Has The Maker ever seen yours?
I would say that I would buy a whole rack of Levinson, or even his newer Red Rose equipment (which I am not impressed with) if it would grace me with his presence for dinner... as long as he brings wife Kim Catrall along.Albert, you are truly bles... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Steven Allen:I would be hard pressed to find speakers at a decent price that can do what my Infinity IRS V can. Sure, I could go and get the newer Genesis 1.1 for a lot more money, but the upgrade is rather small in my mind versus the money it cos... 
Who Makes a "cheap" line scaler?
If you are running multiple sources for it and want a stand alone unit, you will be looking at the DVDO line or products. If you are just running DVD, then use a computer, as there is nothing available that will beat it for anywhere near the price... 
Personal speaker evolution
My listening room is really too small for what these speakers need. If you would like to see some pictures, I could email them. Send me your email and you can see how big speakers look in a small room. I can't even use my projector right now becau... 
high end progressive scan dvd player
Although not the greatest straight DVD player, I recommend HTPC for anybody with front projection. I know that my HTPC completely blows away the 480p that I get off of my Philips Q50 progressive scan DVD player on even my rear projection HDTV. Whe...
