Remote control of hidden components?
I definitely want an RF set up so I can hide it completely. I can live with the "stick-on" IR emitters too, but there are a couple blaster versions as well.I saw this great URC remote and RF station the other day at a local retailer. $500+!! And t... 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
Setting up the REL is clearer now that I've unpacked it and read the manual again. I'll be using the Speakon and .1/LFE to great effect, I'm sure. I'm still deciding on a phono cable and definitely want to get a better Speakon cable (the supplied ... 
Best Blu-ray/DVD player for under $800?
Mitch4t: I did. Although my BD8002 was new and at a big discount. I posted my thoughts on another thread. To sum it up; "stunning picture". I tried a PS3 just before this. Great for games and cool GUI, but it's a toy. And I found the picture quali... 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
I only see a single "SW" output for my receiver and the manual says; "Connect this jack to the line level input of a powered subwoofer." Does this connect to the REL .1/LFE? 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
I knew it would take some getting used to, making adjustments, positioning,... etc. And I will try both ways; w/ and w/o Speakon. Is the phono cable mono or stereo? What's the best subwoofer cable? 
Remote control of hidden components?
Logitech looks to have some decent solutions in both IR and RF control, as well as the Harmony universal remotes. Any feedback from users here? Which model? IR or RF?Magnolia/Best Buy tried to push Speaker Craft's IR Repeater. $250!! I can get a S... 
HT Speaker Wire Suggestions....?
I have the speakers. The Dali importer wasn't being conservative about the 16 gauge wire size. These terminals are tiny. So I either need an actual 16 gauge cable, or one that terminates with bare wire, solder, or pin, small enough to fit. Any su... 
HT Speaker Wire Suggestions....?
Re: Morrow Audio SP1; "Nude termination is not offered on the SP1 due to the delicacy of the wires." My speakers require bare wire. 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
What about a better Speakon cable? I've come across a couple of them. Is there an improvement to be heard? My REL will be plugged into a BPT CPC HCF-30 via PS Audio PW AC5 power cord. That will give it some good clean power. 
Remote control of hidden components?
I'd prefer a cable plugged into the back of equipment then a cable stuck over the IR input. If only there was a way to use the plasmas IR sensor for everything. I want a clean, uncluttered way of controlling. I may have no choice though but to get... 
HT Speaker Wire Suggestions....?
Thanks. I'll check it out. What receiver/speakers are you using?The WW Solstice might actually be too big for my small table stand speakers. Orbit 6 was suggested instead. The MA SP1 being thin is a plus. 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
That helps... I thought the LFE connection did everything necessary for the sub. Adding the Speakon cable just added confusion even though I had a vague idea that it was supplementing the main speakers low end. Since my speakers (Dali Motif LCR) d... 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
So the phono cable with .1/LFE input needs to be connected? The Neutrik Speakon cable is only a supplement? What does that mean, what does it do that the phono .1/LFE doesn't? What am I missing w/o it? Can you use the Speakon cable on it's own? 
Power Conditioner for Video under $500?
I've chosen the BPT CPC w/ HCF-30.House wiring/breaker-box upgrades to come when it's my house. For now, the PSA PW power cords and PC will provide enough improvement - the power cords already have on their own. 
Power Conditioner for Video under $500?
I would not consider Monster.Why the Chang Lightspeed? Any direct comparisons with the PC's in my list? What about RGPC 600S (used)? For the $$ the BPT CPC looks to be the best-of-the-bunch based on older reviews. I'll probably go with the HFC-30 ...
