| Center Channel Speakers In A Movie Theater? I thought I read one time that they often have at least two speakers up front. | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? I think I now have the best sound so far from my center, which is the Paradigm cc570v3. I sold off the Swans speaker, as it had an obvious mid range resonance. I am using a Yamaha RX-V1800 as a pre-pro, and powering my front L/R and center with a ... | |

| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal Those DeVores look interesting. Too bad there is so little info on their website about the drivers, crossovers, etc. I can't tell if the Gibbon 8 is ported or not, or if it is a 2-way or 3-way. If anyone can find that info, could you post it? | |

My power amp is the Sherbourn 5/1500A, which is a 5 mono channel design. It has 5 toroidal transformers in it and is rated at 200wpc into 8 ohms, a... | |
| yamaha rx-v665 If you have your DVD player's digital output set to "bitstream" and you are running coaxial or optical from DVD player to receiver, your receiver display should show Dolby Digital. If you are using the analog outputs to connect to a multi-channel ... | |
| Thiel speakers--can you power them with reciever? Thanks for the replies. Of the other brand speakers I mentioned, do any of them present an easier load than the Thiels for a receiver to drive? The Receiver is a Yamaha RX-V1800. It is currently driving a set of Legacy Signature II left/right fron... | |
| CPD orSACD player w/built in remote volume control The oppo DVD players and the Blu-ray player have volume on the remote, but they are not in your price range. However, several "modded" versions are available. | |
| Entry Level Cables I've never used the Kimber, but am very impressed with Morrow SP2 with bare wire termination. Morrow is always having some kind of sale going on. Get on his email list. | |
| Speaker Cables BTW, I got my SP2 wires terminated with bare wire, as recommended by Morrow. |
