    Acculine good decision?

    I spoke with Jon at Audio Insider last week and they're blowing-out open boxes of the Acculine Speakers: http://theaudioinsider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723&sid=7ba177070d168e48d79acc8faea14186 Jon also mentioned that the HF Driver in the A3 is the same driver that Martin Logan uses in...

    Monitor Audio vs Mission vs Polk

    I recently a/b'd some Polks and MA BR4s and the MA won-out because the highs were so much smoother. I'll give the Polks credit for being pretty detailed, but they bordered on too bright for my tastes. My BR4s have the same midbass driver and tweeter as the BR2s that you're considering and are...

    Anyone compare Swan Divas to other floorstanders?

    I'm thinking of upgrading, but I'm wondering what the Swans sound like, compared to my Monitor Audio BR4s. Shipping to and from the seller is the only downfall that I've found with online speaker dealers, so feedback from current owners or those who have had an in home demo would help. Laid...

    Sacrify receiver or speakers

    FoxNews - It sounds like you've got some needs/wants that might be hard to satisfy with a $500 budget. Personally, if you have to go with a 4 ohm speaker, then my favorite solution is from MDS : find a a receiver with preouts and add an amp that can support 4 ohms, like the Audiosource...

    Dedicated sub for center channel?

    Hi All - I have an extra 8" Powered sub that is just sitting around. I was thinking of hooking it up to the center out on my processor and then sending the high pass signal to my amp to power my Monitor Audio BR Center channel. The sub would be sitting in my cabinet under my center channel...

    Athena ls series

    I've been auditioning the smaller LS50s for the past two weeks head to head with Audio Advisor's Gale system and with a pair of Polk R15s for a second system anchored by an Onkyo HT-S520. First off, this wasn't really a true apples to apples comparison as the Gale Satellites are sub/sat set...

    Bi-amping what does it do?

    Out of curiosity, what speakers are you bi-amping with your LPA-1? I was going to buy another LPA-1 to add more zones to my house and thought that If I have 2 more channels left-over, then I'd bi-amp my Monitor Audio BR4s. however, after reading this thread, I'm thinking of getting a less...

    Plug or not to Plug??

    Hi J_garcia... I have the MA Bronze floorstanders and the midbass chamber is ported to the front, while the lower frequency driver is ported to the rear. I have mine close to a wall, so the port plug is in place. I cross mine over at 60hz, so I can get away with a lower low pass filter...

    new yamaha receiver?

    Kumusta Po! Yeah...that what it seems like. I don't mean to sound like I'm a threadcrapper, but having two Yamaha receivers go bad was such a disappointment.

    Adding Amp to Yamaha RX-V2600

    congrats on a successful tweak! I'd like to add that if you're looking into spending $200 on a two channel amp, you should also consider an Alesis, QSC or even the two channel Onkyo that they have on clearance at CC.

    Yamaha RX V2600 Surround Help

    Sounds like you may have a short or bad surround amp. A short is not out of the question; unless you're using banana plugs, the crowded speaker terminals of the 2600 can cause a short. Also, what is the impedance of your speakers?

    How did they do this. A 1979 recording with fabulous 5.1 sound

    I'd have to agree with jaxvon, not just because he's a Wolverine, but because I do audio production professionally and have worked on similar projects. I'm guess that since they were filming the show, they recorded each input of the house mixer onto multitrack tape...probably a Studer...maybe...

    Emotiva Announces Aggressive 40% Discount Program for Current Owners

    I got the same info from Lonnie at Emotiva and I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed with their customer service! He answered all of my questions and took the time to listen to me describe my current listening area and setup, and made recommendations on gear and told me about the new...

    new yamaha receiver?

    I have no phobia of things that are Malaysian, especially since I'm Filipino, with Malaysian and Chinese ancestry. :D That goes for anything else made in the Pacific Rim. My comment on the change in manufacturing location is based on my personal opinion (to each his own, right?), is that...

    Star Trek III death of David Marcus

    thanks...! I never got around to doing the sub/center experiment. Trivial pursuits such as salting the driveway so nobody slips and pruning dangerous tree limbs kept me plenty busy.
