Amp Recommendations for Acoustat 1+1s
I was thinking of buying some of these a while back, has some STRONG reccommendations for KRELL-KSA 50, as well as Forte 40a ( i think that was the model)Mostly, the reccommendations were for solidly build CLASS A amps, they seem to work better wi...

Blown Speaker in AR Sub
Careful if you just buy a new 12 in subwoofer, gotta take alot of things in consideration. Gotta make sure the box size is matched for the driver. Many things to consider.if you can get a SPEC on the driver itself, you can try to find a sub with m...

Avguygeorge Yeah the 5.1 outputs are standard for DVD-A (not sure aboud SACD, i think there are some SACD players that only do 2 ch)With my old reciever it diddnt have an onboard decoder. I had to buy an outboard decoder, then later on i got a DVD... 
Are vintage speakers really that good?
My experience is that even real crappy speakers can sound pretty good with decent amplification. I have a set of old radioshack speakers that im running with a Denon POA-2800, granted, i would love some better speakers, had to sell my last ones, b... 
Definitive Tech
Ive heared the pro-cinema 60. Sounds far better than it has any right to in that range. Ive used alot of Definitive Tech rpodcuts and ive loved everything they made. They might not be up to par with high level KEF, B&W, or Paradigm, after all,... 
Any subs that calibrate for the room?
Velodyn has a nice pricy new digital subwoofer that does this. Havent heard it myself, but i hear it is incredible. there was a thread about a month ago with a title something along the lines of "Throw out your subwoofer" or something. Do a search...

Would you pay to rent my media/video room
You might have a hard time running something like that out of yer home. For the most part, the only people who would want to pay 50 an hour for movies or music would be audiophiles, which is not a very big part of the consumer market, plus, they a... 
What can the average enthusiest do to get A+ HT?
Brainwater, i saw that on yer pics, that is pretty slick dude.I guess my point is this, Multichannel music is more of an audiophile thing than an every day joe thing. HT is something designed for every day joes. The reason of the surrounds is to s... 
What can the average enthusiest do to get A+ HT?
Something you all might want remember, This thread was origionally asking about anA+ HT setup, as in HOME THEATER. Personally i think multichannel music is way too finiky to do, i find the surround speakers annoying. Give me nmusic in 2ch, leave t... 
What can the average enthusiest do to get A+ HT?
Here is my 2 cents.Im gearing up to start on my DYI HT project, gonna built all the speakers/amplifiers/cables Ive had lots of experience with Mid-priced HT gear, with no single component breaking the 1,000MSRP mark. Been through many setups in ma... 
Poweramp for channels
Totally. Screw those "Center channels" If you can swing all identical speakers and identical amplification, yer gonna get better performance.

Foxtrot is right. It should have a decoder built in. When i bought my first DVD player back in 1997 it had no on-board decoder, in fact, my reciever did not either, i had to buy an AC-3 decoder to get DD5.1My second DVD player was the same way. Th...
