Brief review Integra DHC 40,1 pre/pro
Way out of date but...The 40.1 is easy to set up Internet. Just plug an Ethernet cable into it and into a router. The DHC is defaulted to DHCP so it will aquire an IP address and you are good to go. You can access the DHC from a browse by putting ... 
Speaker compairson?
There are specs and there is spec-man-ship...Talon reports the bandwidth only, that is to say in the range specified there is output. The question is, how much?Spec'ing bandwidth is not the same as a frequency reponse range that includes output de... 
Room size for Kharma 1.0s, need to downsize...
Some good feedback...thanks. The actual move is about six - nine months away so I'll plan to market my 1.0s soon and then go shopping when the new room is ready... 
I decided on Monitor Audio for my music, but
Since this is a music system I'd say do without the sub and buy a full range speaker. Subs are for HT... 
Please help with my whole-house audio
The use of in wall or ceiling is dictated by the application and what will fit. And, I'm stating that IMO it's not worth spending "a lot" of money on in-wall/ceiling speakers because I think that the envirnoment and mounting location compared to l... 
Please help with my whole-house audio
IMHO, I have whole house audio as well, and with respect to "...the best sound quality..." compared say to even a modest two-channel set up in a dedicated room is looking for something that doesn't exist. Whole house audio is about background musi... 
How to share speakers without bypass?
I have pondered this and I use option #2.I chose the 47Labs input chooser. A nice little switcher box that is reasonably priced and built like a brick. Jena Labs has one or will make one also and it is outrageously priced IMO.I switch an Audio Aer... 
HELP Subwoofer connection, high level or low leve
Sugar... The sub is doing no more "double duty" than any driver is in any system. Think of a 2-way speaker where the mid range driver is playing from 40hz or so up to the point is crosses over to the tweater. The 40-50hz bass does not muddy up the... 
HELP Subwoofer connection, high level or low leve
I agree with sugar mostly. The separate (crossover) controls are for the "III" units only. If you have both types of inputs connected as described during HT the low level input gets the .1 signal from the pre/pro AND the high level inputs are aliv... 
REL Subwoofers: Version 3 vs. Version 2
I mostly agree with Island, except for the part about the bass being doubled. I've been researching the exact same thing recently.If you have both inputs connected there are two issues:1) Crossover freq. With the II, each input has the same crosso... 
Audio Aero Capitole MKII
I was remiss by not mentioning and thanking Darrell, Audio Aero's authorized North America technician, for:- providing the P4 chip to me (even the three trys it actually took to get it to me)- providing the info for hex wrench sizes- and lastly a ... 
Looking for speaker choice advice.....
I can't help but think that Dunlavy SC-IV/IVa or even SC-V available a good prices these days will fill that room, play at intolerably loud volumes and will have no problems going deep in the bass.For what it's worth... 
Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue
I'd like to think that I have the convictions to "stand up" like that should the circumstance ever present itself. But until then...kudos to Mike and Dale. Yes, friends are good; good friends are great! 
Is the Dunlavy SC-3A's a good speaker for HT?
forever... the request was about the SC-III"A" as Dennis points out. See this A'gon ad for the specs.http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ddspkrfull&1045404730(scroll down a bit in the window)I do stand corrected. The SC-IIIA is spec'd to 27H... 
Biamping and subwoofers....
What Alnan describes certainly works, it's a little extra expensive and you must get "inside" your main speakers to bypass their internal crossovers. Many will argue that this is the preferred way to do it.There is at least one other. I'm assuming...
