2 subwoofers and frequency response
The more sepakers you throw intoo a space, the more you need to spend time making sure the speakers sound good from the listening positions. If not, you'll run into all sorts of sonic compromises.If you place the subs in corners, you'll DEFINILTEY...

Analogue for Home Theater???
My experiences over the years has largely been along the lines of what "Cappucino" states in his response above here. I must qualify my personal experiences, however, by saying that I have relatively limited experience thus far with the various pr...

Is Krell onto something?
What the heck is an EISA?! Never heard of her...For the record, anyway, do you really need Krell's AV equip to get an award to know it's automatically going to better than most all of the other stuff out there, anyway?! I think not. Can't remember... 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
"...I've tried the emotiva umc-1 surround processor. Sounds good but it had bugs. It would lock-up. So it was returned." (Drake719)Perhaps I've been a little hard on Emotiva. And perhaps I've simply had "unrealistic" expectation regarding the perf...

Is Krell onto something?
advantages to using multiple speakers (or even multiple redundant drivers in a speaker, for that matter), would be added system efficiency - likely yeilding better dyanmic potential from any given channel/system - reinforcement of frequencies (pos...

I'm no pro, but I don't think it's possible/ideal to hook up a DVD player straight to an amplifier. (e.g. Where would you get the volume control?, etc)" (longhornguy)I've had at least a couple of old standard DVD players over the years that had bu...
