The following system would provide you with a 6.1 channel DTS compatible home theater system. It would also sound reasonably good on multi-channel music for the money invested. All prices quoted are for new units with full factory warrantees unles...

Buscis: "open mouth, insert foot" category? Sheesh, i'll be busy with both of these going at the same time. The scary thing is that i wear a size 15EEE. At least now you folks can see where and how i got the big mouth. Maybe sometimes i shouldn't ... 
Properly connecting an isotaion transformer
Vman: Run 20 amp circuits all the way around rather than two 15's and the one 20 amp. The cost difference is next to nothing and the difference in potential performance due to lower source impedances with future upgradability ( current draw ) make...

Properly connecting an isotaion transformer
Vman: You can do exactly as you stated and achieve good results. The key here is how good the isolation transformers actually isolate their output from the line and whether or not the transformers & dedicated line are up to passing enough curr...

Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose
Let's look at the big picture as a whole rather than piecing individual components together and hoping for the best. 1) How many speakers do you want / need? 2) Does this include a subwoofer? 3) Given your wife's preference for Bose, is it safe to... 
B&K harsh sound
Newer B&K amps sound quite a bit brighter, harder and more sterile than their older counterparts to me. Rotel gear is also somewhat bright, but may be slightly smoother overall. Having said that, you should have any electronic component that y...

Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Stehno: I had no recollection of the "Carver/Sunfire incident". It therefore never entered my mind. I'm not embarrassed in the least about owning Sunfire gear or having built my HT system around two of Bob's "Signature" series power amps and his P...
