Anyone else using it? What are you controlling with it and how fancy did you make the app? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can't seem to find a price for it, but "request a quote" probably means it ain't cheap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1gMMM62NC-4

Rant "on"... For the past couple of years, I've had to put up with an annoying "drop out" issue with my cable reception. The drop out is basically a loss of audio for about a half second, sometimes with a line across the screen. The speaker indicators on my AVR also blank out. It can happen...

After reading the IQ Audio M300 Mono-Block Amplifier review, it got me ruminating about the quiet trend towards the use of pro-audio equipment in consumer HT systems. I mention the M300 because, like many pro audio amps these days, it uses Class D topology, and in his review, Gene says this...

An FYI: For those with AVR's that won't pass HDMI audio to Zone 2, 3, etc, I discovered a device that will extract the audio to an analog stereo RCA output, or DD/DTS to SP/DIF. I haven't tried one (yet), but the Amazon reviews seem promising. Might be handy for Roku 3 or Apple TV users...

I finally got around to messing with some of the internet TV features available on my Samsung Plasma and recently signed up for a trial on Netflix. Quality seems okay, but I notice the audio from the TV is a little compressed as compared to Blu Ray. Am I right to assume that Netflix streams the...

I'm eyeing up the XPA-3 to free up the stress my Yammy RXA3000 experiences when pushed to reference levels. On a few occasions, the AVR has gone into protection mode, usually during a high frequency transient. (Think gunshot) Surprising, since I didn't figure my Klipsch presented that much of...

I thought I would put together a 5.1 system with extra components I had for a dear friend who helped me through a recent motorcycle accident. One of the components I want to give her is my Paradigm PW-2200, but I first have to try and repair an unusual symptom. For the most part, it works...

In the movie "Hanna", there's a scene where jet airliner passes overhead of the girl. While having my audio set to -ahem- "reference" levels I encountered this scene and heard a startling flapping noise from one of my THT's. At first, I thought I blew out a driver, but closer inspection...

Any reason why "presence" or "height" front speakers should be direct radiating and not dipole? I used to enjoy the presence channel for some movie and hall effects on my yammy with an old pair of B&W bookshelf speakers. In comparison to Klipsch, I always found them sort of dull and...

I've been seeing these two terms interchangeably lately. Other than the Tractrix™ used in Klipsch, who else uses what can properly be termed a "waveguide"?

With my garage finally insulated, I can now begin my dual THT-LP build. Naturally, a build thread is useless without pictures, so I'm going to try and take some shots that may be helpful for someone planning or working their own build. Requests are welcome! Since I'm not a fan of the...

Anyone have two subs of differing brands in a system? Any problems dialing them in? I currently have a Paradigm PW2200. It's been acceptable for the room it's in now(19X32X8 = 4864 ft^3 open concept apartment), but I'm moving into a new house with a much larger (22X29X9 = 5742 ft^3) family...

Had a learning experience recently that I thought I'd pass along. It's regarding a feature called "HDMI control" on my Yamaha RX-A3000, but it can appear to be remote-control related. After upgrading to a Samsung Plasma, it appeared my Harmony One was selecting the wrong inputs and shutting...

...and the target disappeared. :eek: Spent a couple days humming and hawing over whether to pick up a Samsung 63" PNC550 at Best Buy, only to find that they were out of store stock, and the online warehouse won't ship one of the few they had out from out west to Ontario. Besides the fact...

After shutting down one business (health club), losing another (restaurant), including one BSC ex-girlfriend, I decided to treat myself to some speaker and receiver upgrades. My RC62 (still in picture) died :mad: and spurred me to upgrade my old Choruses to some RF83's, RC64, and RS62's...

Okay, this is just ridiculous.

Over the past several months, our digital cable box would exhibit the weirdest behaviour. As anyone who owns a digital cable or sat box, severe pixelation and audio dropouts occur when signal reception is poor or momentarily lost. It seemed sporadic. Some days it was fine, other days it was...

A lengthy, but well-written article... http://www.prospect-magazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=9735

When watching movies via the Motorola DVR, the sound will frequently cut out during loud passages. The only way to restore the sound is to pause the movie, then restart. I notice that if the volume is quiet, the audio doesn't cut out, but it makes for a poor home theater experience. :mad...
