    Pioneer SC-1523-K for $849

    Tempted to buy this to replace my Elite 01-TXH, that I got 6-7 years ago. Only 8 HDMI, LOL, try only 3! Of course, back then, only a few devices sport HDMI (PS3). XBOX360 only had VGA and Components at the time. Since this is not from the Elite series, is it safe to assume that it doesn't...

    Is the SVS the greatest subwoofer on Earth?

    This. It's one thing if a company designs and makes excellent products, but no matter what, they'd miss one or two. This is where the word service is, in Customer Service. It's how the company would make up for their mistakes. I've only heard positive feedbacks from SVS customers. Hsu, on...

    Do I buy a NAS, or build my own video server?

    My take; My HTPC and Photo Editing PC, each has 60GB SSD for boot drives & traditional HDD (2x1.5TB & 4x1TB) for temporary data, respectively. Built these PC for a very specific purpose. Having said that, I wouldn'd build a DIY NAS box. Perfectly happy with Synology DS411 NAS box hosting 4x...

    Finally bought my 1st real subwoofer :D

    It's great, not that it's saying much coming from a guy who's only had HTIB "subwoofers" LOL Room's a mess - the tower is Polk T90e (Monitor 60) and The TV is a 42" LCD. That should give you an idea :)

    Upgraditis, from Polk T90e to where?

    BTW, if I get the eD A6-6T6, I'll relegate the Polk T90e as rear speakers. Anyone know how the Polk 5.5" drivers and eD's 6.5" drivers would match tonally? Thanks

    Finally bought my 1st real subwoofer :D

    -Update- A5-350 is in the house: Just got my SPL meter so that I can calibrate it properly, but even without calibration and placement check, it sounds awesome already. Check out the size of this beast, it dwarfs everything else in my living room.

    Elemental vs EMP vs Polk

    Been wondering, with the recent ID companies - does Polk still offers the best value for economical speakers? I've been thinking of upgrading my Polk T90e (Monitor 60), these models come to mind: -EMP E5TiR $500/pair -eD's A6 6T6 $500/pair and, from Polkdirect - ebay: -Polk's own RTI A9...

    Upgraditis, from Polk T90e to where?

    Recent sub upgrade is causing old disease to come back. My Polk T90e (Monitor 60) are looking quite sad these days. How about eD A6-6T6 or EMP E5TiR compared to my middleclass Polk? Would they blow me away? at $500/pair, they're really tempting... I was thinking of getting the bigger Polk (RTi...

    Finally bought my 1st real subwoofer :D

    After many years of life situations and deliberations, I finally pulled the trigger on eD A5-350 - took advantage of their Thanksgiving pricing. So excited - already prepared the house to receive the big black box. I read that my current power conditioner, APC H15 couldn't handle the...

    Enter to Win: A7-700 Subwoofer from Elemental Designs!

    1) No. 2) Looking at dry-wall sound insulation foam (injected inside dry-wall) atm. Maybe IF I win the A7-700, I'd be forced to get the insulation :)

    Computer Speakers

    I heard only good things from those Swan speakers http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836136102 I just find them a bit pricey (haven't heard them in person, so that might be why) I'm still using cheap Logitech speakers

    Yamaha YSP-1100 Digital Sound Projector Review

    hate to sound like a broken record, keep repeating the same question; how's the YSP-1100 + Yamaha Sub(?) sound, when compared to: a) SVS SBS-01 5.1 + Yamaha RX-V2600? ~similar price b) AV123 X-LS 5.1 + Yamaha RX-V659? ~cheaper I hate wiring rear speakers (unless they sound stellar?)...

    Denon 2807 Vs. Yamaha 2600

    I've been trying to decide between these two entry level receivers. Found plenty of reviews & posts on each, but I didn't get to see any head to head comparison. Since they're in the same class, and everywhere I go, I always hear their models spoken; I wonder why there's no direct comparison...

    Is the Yamaha RX-V 2600 enough?

    Thanks Adrian I need to go back and hit the "books" again... I'm new to the hobby and I've limited budget. I narrowed down my speaker choices to: SBS-01 5.1 & X-LS 5.1 I'm still trying to decide on the Receiver.

    Is the Yamaha RX-V 2600 enough?

    Ok, so maybe I got it backward then? If the speakers are low end, then I'd need a high-end receiver? Is that why Klipsch speakers are popular (need less amp to drive them?) Thanks for the link to "Buying Guide". BTW, if I just want a receiver to drive SBS-01 set without any fancy...
