| Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas Wader1971...I've had no regrets purchasing a 151FD. Regardless of any of the reviews it can produce a simply stunning picture if the program material is up to the task. Like a resolving speaker system an Elite is at the mercy of upstream source an... | |
| Is Audyssey worth it? At Audyssey.com you can check out their manufacturer menu. The difference room correction made in my awkward HT space was stunning. I've become smitten with 7.1 with HT but serious two channel listening in there falls short. | |
| 1 Room 2 Systems Since every room is different it's a difficult question to answer. Knowing how well your speakers produce a sound stage and how well those speakers are placed within the room is your baseline. After that it's simply trial and error.Every time I've... | |
| Classe ssp600 procesor set up I'm not familiar with this processor and the manual seems very brief in general. The calibration seems limited to channel volume only. Considering the ease of the calibration process you might want to re calibrate after any changes to the system. ... | |
| need recommendations for sub for music Passive radiator designs can be more difficult, but not impossible, to integrate into a music only system yet they work terrific in an HT environment. Since you have placement restrictions I would suggest using the Velodyne SMS-1 calibration syste... | |
| Which sub should I get? It would be nice if someone did an accurately measured shoot out between some of the more prominent subwoofers. When one of the audio publication wrote a very positive review of the JL they used a Velodyne to adjust and graph the JL.I have a DD18 ... | |
| sealed vs vented subwoofers Duke, thanks for those articals. | |
| Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor +1! It wasn't until I brought it home and added the two sides, I was floored by the difference. Then I ran the room correction, wow. After I got over the the improvement in surround effects I noticed the dialogue location in the front channels was... | |
| Best Big Sub? or duals? Feedback? From a subwoofer, what's that? | |
| Dimly lit room: Plasma, LCD, or DLP Gmood, I apologize if the tenor of my remarks came across as any sort of absolute. My intention was to pass on to the original poster MY first hand experiences with specific regard to my Sony XBR6 LCD and Pioneer 151FD plasma. Both displays are cu... | |
| Dimly lit room: Plasma, LCD, or DLP "Though the blacks are a little deeper on my plasma, my LCD has better shadow detail. In other words, on dark scenes I see more detail on objects like buildings and the side of a person's face that is away from direct light."Comparing the shaded a... | |
| Home Theater or stick with 2 channel? Incorporating my two channel system with HT I lost much of the two channel imaging I worked so hard to get right so I gave up in favor of separate systems. There is still a sweet spot with HT but it's much more forgiving. I recently upgraded my re... | |
| Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD I made some DIY double shielded 10 gauge power cords which made a substantial difference in powering my NuForce 9SE's class D power amplifiers. I tried one on the 05 FD and didn't notice any improvement.The transformer in the Comcast/Motorola cabl... | |
| Best Big Sub? or duals? Shadorne, Polar bear! Nice shot, that doesn't look like it was taken at a zoo? I just got a D300 a few weeks ago, my first DSLR. Currently, it's a little over my head but I'm learning something new on every outing. No AF-S lenses yet just my 85mm ... | |
| Best Big Sub? or duals? Unfortunately this site http://www.servodrive.com/ is down. ServoDrive uses belt driven motors to actuate their cones. These are not self powered or crossed over and they require much less power. Ask around, these are the loudest cabinets by a lar... |
