How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
Al,It can be done.Where there is a will there is a way 
How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
Rocking out starts at 95 dB SPL IMHO and can go as high as 105 db SPL at the listening position. You need a system that is capable of producing these prodigious volumes cleanly with as low distortion as at 85 db SPL or else it will just sound awfu... 
Room Treatments
In photos I have seen Rives often modify the wall between and behind the speakers and make it curve inwards smoothly by a couple of feet at the maximum point centered between the speakers. This will have an impact on the bass and may help reduce q... 
Is all home related 3d equal?
I don't know anything on the 3D market but the best value projector for extreme high end picture quality is currently without doubt the Panasonic AE4000. The darn thing is as good as the older generation $10,000+ projectors at an unbeatable price ... 
Room Treatments
Only bass frequencies are omnidirectional and bass frequencies will not be affected by a blanket. You are much better off treating the wall behind your head with blankets, curtains and thick absorption - this way you reduce what is reflected back ... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Play some Frank Sinatra or Michael Buble and they might feel more inclined to cuddle but it is the MUSIC which matters.Single woman like male drummers and male lead singers and lead guitar most.It is the skill, athleticism and charm of an entertai... 
Natural and Neutral could be boring ..
I'm in full agreement with Onhwy61, natural and neutral should be anything but boring - adding coloration only helps if the setup is inadequate. If everything is setup right then all you need to do is crank it a little for some exhilaration. Percu... 
Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker
Johnson,I don't know. I think JM Labs make awesome speakers with some pretty serious engineering. If there is a notch filter there then my guess is that it is there for a good reason (either driver ringing or to reduce an unwanted resonance in the... 
biwire trick
Tvad is absolutely right about education - knowledge certainly does instill principles about the right way and wrong way to hook up electronic equipment. All I am saying is that from a "best practice" perspective it is wrong to use speakers wires ... 
biwire trick
Wrong? Different.No just plain wrong. If one wanted to roll off the treble ever so slightly then there are better tools for that, such as tone controls, an EQ or more room treatments etc.Cables should be neutral. Using cables to tune things is suc... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
I think the owner has a business selling HT to the well heeled. The way everything is laid out in an ostentatious mess would be a hazard for any home and impossible to clean. The whole thing, including the ridiculous price tag (for such an ugly se... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
Must be super Bright with that Benchmark DAC, or have ton's of tubes to mellow out the glare.Your strongly worded remark reminded me that you have been struggling with your digital setup.You may have an issue with your room or speakers, as I under... 
$6 Million Dollar Man?
And the 6 million dollar system uses a Benchmark DAC 1 for two channel listening 
Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker
Johnson,You should check the waterfall response for resonances - the well known problem with very light rigid drivers, such as the w cones, is ringing. Look for resonance around 1100 Hz from the woofers and around 4 kHz from the midrange. If you d...
