Yeah, thanks.

I doubled the volume of my integrated amplifier, from the 9:00 position to the 12:00 position, reran YPAO and got the W3 error code to go away, AND I noticed while going through the results that it brought my left and right speaker volumes within range, closer to 1.0 db, instead of maxed out at...

Cannot take Rotel out of system entirely unless I want to take a step backwards for listening to music with the Yamaha instead. If I wanted to replace my Rotel entirely I would have gone to one unit, I would have dedicated a much larger sum of my tax return to an Arcam AV receiver. I thought I...

Funny this comes up now - the timing is perfect - I need your help! I am actually having issues with an external integrated amp (a conservatively rated 60 Watt per channel Rotel) powering my left and right front speakers in a home theater. I had the integrated amp already in place for music, and...

Do you think the DH Labs Z Plug (receiver end) and the DH Labs B-1C Crimp Banana (speaker end) is pretty much as good as any other inexpensive ones out there? DH Labs Silversonic - Products - Connectors - Plugs

Hopefully soon we will get past what I am trying to do or what I want to do and whether or not you disagree with doing it that way...and give me the information I actually seek. I'm doing a double run of Audioquest FLX-SLiP 14/4 per speaker. NORMALLY the way this wire is used is ONE 14/4 cable...

Bought wire already. Intend to use it. I respect your opinion. But I am determined to do it this way. Can anybody here recommend a good quality "deep barrel" banana that will accept an 8 AWG wire?

I don't WANT an 8 gauge wire per se, It's just that I have just selected wire that is four 14 gauge wires, meant to twist 2 together for the negative and 2 together for the positive....but I am biwiring my speakers and that will give me 4 wires for the negative and 4 wires for the positive on...

Can I fit four twisted 14 AWG wires in them?

One last question: Are crimp type bananas or bfa's just as good as the screw down type? I'd rather not mess around with soldering.

Hello my friends. I am getting ready to build speaker cables for my rear speakers in a home theater. I a biwiring them so the wire size at the receiver will be 8 awg. Two questions - Will these accommodate 8 awg wire? And How "deep" can I get the wire to go into these "barrels"? I will be...

Anybody know of some good banana plugs that will accommodate 8 gauge wire and not cost an arm and a leg?

I will not run them in wall - the appeal is how good they supposedly sound. I reckon there is no reason that I can't use in wall cable as regular outside-of-wall speaker cable?!

Also, does anybody have any advice on quality banana plugs and how to properly install them if I opt to go the build my own route?

Hello my friends! I'm in the process of incorporating a home theater into my living room stereo setup. I have a nice "mid-fi" setup consisting of a Rotel integrated amp, a Rotel CD player and B&W DM602 S3 standmounted bookshelf speakers. Interconnects and speaker cables drive me nuts...

Hello everybody. A few questions about AV Receivers... I'm building a 5.1 home theater in a small living room around 5 separate B&W DM602 S3 bookshelf loudspeakers. (Every position will have the exact same speaker, including the center channel) My question is mainly about AV receivers... If...

I'm FINALLY getting around to building this thing. The TV stand will have a compartment directly under TV for one B&W 602 S3 to be used as a center channel speaker in a home theater application. I just have one very important question: HOW CRITICAL is it that there is significant space between...

Actual room I'm working with: Living room dimensions etc for advice on how / where to place stereo and TV - YouTube

bumpity bump!

OK, how will having a semi bulky TV / component stand directly between the left and right speakers, even with separate left and right speaker stands, adversely affect sound quality?
