| Why are bass drivers elevated in floor standers? think upside down. the tweeter is more directional so it needs to go in the prime location. I suspect designers shoot for seated ear level. toss in a mid if you have it next and that leaves the space below for bass. Don't forget that most designs ... | |
| center channel problem make sure the tweeter is working. this exactly described a problem I had, and my center channel tweeter was blown new out of the box. | |
| PS3 for blu and surround you will need to look in your manual for outputs from the PS3 and inputs allowed by the onkyo (which will likely depend on the input method) I suspect you can send it all to the receiver and let it sort things out.more importantly where did you fi... | |

| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Question for the group. Mind I'm not trying to cause a ruckus but rather genuinely curious. First if it it thought that a better power cord improves things why not run a dedicated better line from the main panel in the house. ie if 5 feet of bette... | |
| Coincidence? "What intent does the industry really have... perfecting music reproduction quality /or/ continuously selling to provide profitability ?"Given the trends in compression, and yes the artists bear blame as well, I would submit that perfecting qualit... | |
| Ideal Complete System for $5000 i like the idea of building your system a bit at a time as well. Frankly on a bang for the buck standpoint not all elements are equal. If I had to do it I would go 2.1 to start with. Add surrounds later to go 4.1 and finish with a center last to h... | |
| Windows Media Player Interesting. THis is from the CMP^2 sorceforge site that Nikki posted. Some tips for better USB DAC performance. Not exactly on topic, sorry. 1. Connect the DAC to a back-panel socket, not to the motherboard’s on-board USB headers; 2. Provide the... | |
| Computer Do Over Keep in mind that if you do decide to expand in to video streaming (I assume from the post that this is audio only) the MACs dont support Bluray and there is no forecast for when they will. If you go audio or non BR then pick your fav. | |
| Speakers For A Mini System I did pretty much exactly what you are considering. I wound up with a NAD L73 receiver/disc player for $499 from Saturday audio exchange (same price all over from other locations like audio advisor including free shipping deals) and hooked it to a... | |
