    So Denon and Klipsch are a bad combination...

    I've been running a 5.0 set of Klipsch RC/RB/RS speakers in my upstairs HT for the past year on a Denon 2310 with absolutely no problems. In fact, I bought these just becasue they were so easy to drive and I didn't want to spend too much on amplification but rather put all my money in the...

    Proud owner of new PB13-Ultra

    The Ultra is an awesome sub and if it's your first you probably don't know how lucky you are. ;) Plug the monster cable into the AVR socket marked SW and into the subs low level input - the top one is fine to use. You can then read Batpigs Denon-to-English setup guide here...

    The Best Speakers you've ever heard

    My B&W 804S. ;) Okay, maybe not the best overall but the best I've heard that I'd like to have in my living room. TBH I even preferred my 804S/SVS Ultra13 combo over a pair of 802D I demoed. The overall best speakers that were the closest to a real concert experience were JBL Everest...

    DIY beats commercial subs anytime (thread split from other commercial sub threads)

    But you don't spend that kind of money on a Gotham just for performance, although there's no denying it's a monster of a sub; The Gotham is like subwoofer jewellery and if money were no option I would absolutely get 4 of them. :D

    Who ripped off who??

    As an aside I've listened to the Anthony Gallo Ref 3 at a show http://www.anthonygallo.co.uk/pages/products-reference-reference3.php They were quite nice at lowish volumes but there seemed to be some sort of resonance when the volume was cranked up - I walked over to them and put my hand on the...

    DIY beats commercial subs anytime (thread split from other commercial sub threads)

    Cool. I will have to remember that the next time I need a new car. :D But seriously, sometimes, quite a lot in fact, economies of scale kick in and a commercial enterprises mass producing items can produce better quality products for less....

    DIY beats commercial subs anytime (thread split from other commercial sub threads)

    Browsing around I came across the LMS-Ultra page http://www.audiopulse.com/products/subwoofer-drivers/lms-ultra/ I'm curious how good the 18" of this would be in a ready made sealed box (if you could find one big enough) with a big pro amp...

    DIY beats commercial subs anytime (thread split from other commercial sub threads)

    I should have looked when it was first mentioned but now I have and I agree, the finished boxes make a big difference in the time it would take and in the final finish. Chris, after spending the past one and a half months trying to finish my relatively simple HT build - original estimate was a...

    DIY beats commercial subs anytime (thread split from other commercial sub threads)

    There's also the finding and buying all the stuff and the research needed in the first place. For the average non-woodworking type of guy who doesn't have a fully kitted out workroom and wants a sub with at least a modicum of waf, I'd guess that a project like this from inception to listening to...

    Klipsch Icon WF-34 Floorstanding Loudspeaker First Look

    A friend of mine has RF7's and they aren't my cup of tea when it comes to music. Incredibly dynamic sounding though and ideal for HT I thought. Never heard any "canyon effect" though so I'm just wondering if there's some placebo/expectation bias at play here... so I vote for WF-34 to be reviewed...

    Audioholics 2009 Product Of Year Awards

    I don't get back here often these days and I just saw this thread... took a look at the listings and... there's a cable entry. :eek: Seriously, when is any simple passive cable worth a "best of" unless it does a hell of a lot more than plug into something and just, uh, work? I mean, if it were...

    Why even buy a blue-ray player. It is maddness!

    Why? Well, a few reasons for me are; 1) My PS3 is freaking noisy. 2) Not only does my my PS3 look out of place in my AV rack but it won't stack properly either unless I always have it on the top. 3) There were some issues with the PS3 passing on the correct RGB range and colour space to...

    Pioneer to Exit Flat Panel Market

    I guess there was always hope that they would out source the entire production of Kuro technology to Panny or LG so that the sets could still be made. I'm still hoping that they will license their tech to someone so that we'll still be able to buy TVs that are this good in the near future. I was...

    Apple Wants to DRM Your Shoes, Next Up, Apple Users

    There are pros and cons to these types of controls but that's the beauty of a free competitive market; you pay your money and take your choice. At least now there's a choice, a pretty limited one admittedly compared to the 80's when there were more types of home computer than you could shake a...

    Apple Wants to DRM Your Shoes, Next Up, Apple Users

    Nice. The fact is that Jobs is an innovative genius and the consumer electronics industry owes a lot his vision. That Apple try get as much money off of their customers as possible and try to control their product, well, that's their prerogative according to that pesky American market...

    Just realized how big this generation gap is..

    Many religions, 0 god(s). None of them can be right. ;) :D Eventually the fundamentalists will die out and there will be only moderates left. It's happened with Christianity which also used to be a pretty brutal religion. It'll take some more time with Islam for various reasons but eventually...

    I did a search and didn't find any mention of this; http://turnmeup.org/ It's about time someone was doing something a little more organized to bring dynamics back to music production. Go there, sign up and show your support!

    Tourist Visa

    I sympathize with you dude and it's the same the world over. My girlfriend is Russian and it's a right royal PITA having to get visas to visit her and vise versa; it's actually more difficult for her to come into Western Europe than it is for me to go there. She has to prove all sorts of ties to...
