I need help with my set up, PLEASE
Lots of question Carl, but my system is much like yours, having recently got some Ascents, so maybe my response will be of use to you - 1) I don't know your DVD or TV - do they both have DVI and or HDMI inputs/outputs? If yes, there's plenty of ap... 
Which musician retired too soon?
Could you imgine what Frank Zappa would be doing today? 
Preamps ... no bass or treble control?
We now use cables to affect the sound instead of bass and treble controls, as they apparently are "more precise than tone controls, and don't affect the sonic signature" as some have commented here. Go figure.If 7671 is right in saying that "The s... 
More Power is always good?
Whoa - Mr. 51. Fill that bowl up again guy. Whew, that must be some stuff. 
What concerts have your kids dragged you to?
A good concert summer for my 12 and 14 year-olds. First was Stevie Winwood, how had a fine show, then Michael McDonald, who was as much of a class act as ever. They were away for summer camp otherwise they would have seen Collective Soul. Stevie W... 
"This Latest Digital Amp Is Great "
Boa, I suggest you may want to go easy on 'ol Honest1.While the amps that Muralman admits he's been hyping are probably fine devices, it's just the over-the-top quantity of posts that's being exposed by the Honest guy. Between here and AA, I'm alm... 
More Power is always good?
51, there just seems so much wrong with your conjecture - -covered with absorbtion = traffic - no, reflections due to lack of absorbtion equal unwanted traffic-large amp - hard to get signal through - huh? Want to explain that?- speakers weigh ton... 
More Power is always good?
So according to 5150 get a nice bright reflective room with a small amp, horn speakers, thin wire and it'll sound great. OK, sure. I guess everybody has a different idea of what's good for the music.There's no such thing as too much power - too li...

Muralman, you exhibited exemplary restraint. Well done. 
The most emotional amp out there?
No matter what the question, H20 appears to be the answer. Maybe it's the next DK. 
The most emotional amp out there?
I wondered how long the H2O would take. 
Acrolink in-wall cabling?
Sure Proclaim, $30 a foot in-wall wire will have a huge effect on the miles of garbage the utility company strings up to send the electrical current to your house. I trust they use 6/9's OFC copper right? Where does this come from???Don't buy into... 
How U determine first and second reflection points
Not saying that at all - sound reflects in staight lines (many, many, many straight lines - it does not zoom around corners, honest), and when the waves bounce back they cancel each other out at a certain place (standing waves). The way to stop th... 
Need advice on a passive subwoofer
Passive, sorta powered, no plate amps, build your own (better than factory (sure), crossover, no crossover. Sure glad I bought my Revel where they had that all that impedance, damping, Q etc. figured out.OK, I'm lost, nevermind.One more time - if ... 
Need advice on a passive subwoofer
Have to agree with Kr4. Too much of a pill with a passive.If the sub is too loud or too soft how will you integrate it - put a resistor in line - Yuck.If you're that serious about it, look at some of the REL's that do a good job at line level, and...
