    Energy RC-10 in-store for $129/pair at Fry's, maybe

    They recently were selling these at $229. I ordered a pair on back order, they eventually canceled the order. Their normal price is $429. Now they're selling them at $129 a pair, but I would call and check to see if they actually have any in stock before you make a long pilgrimage to snag this...

    FS: Energy Connoisseur C-1 bookshelf speakers in black

    One pair of Energy Connoisseur C-1 bookshelf speakers in black woodgrain finish with black grills and silver baffle. These are the little brother to the highly lauded Energy C-3, with a 5.25" woofer instead of the 6.5" of the C-3. Same sound quality with less bass. They're extremely accurate...

    NAD Viso 1 (acoustics by PSB) iPod speaker on clearance, $299

    NAD has a one-piece iPod speaker called the Viso 1 whose acoustic design was done by PSB, PSB and NAD being owned by the same parent company. It's been getting great reviews and supposedly it has great bass, and super flat response (on 1 axis, at least.) Audio Advisor is clearing these out at...

    Small decent subwoofer for under computer desk?

    I was thinking of trying the PSB PS1 computer speakers, which have a sub out but no sub. If I got them, I would want a subwoofer and it would have to be small. I'm thinking about 11" square maximum, more or less. It could be taller, say 16 inches max. I'm thinking an 8" in a small, cabinet, or a...

    Which is worse: port close to wall or woofer close to wall?

    I have an Infinity PS-8 subwoofer that I'm going to use for music in my bedroom. (Actually a pair of them, but I only have a placement issue with one.) The driver is in front and the ports are in back. Space is limited so I'm going to have to put a few inches away from the wall. I know you're...

    Is Energy quality slipping?

    Energy was bought by Klipsch which was bought by Audiovox. They've been using their names on cheaper and cheaper speaker lines. Veritas used to be the high-end line, and now they use it on midpriced speakers. Connoisseur used to be midpriced ($500/pr bookshelves), but now it's on cheap...

    Equipment lists ruin searches

    Some people have signatures that list what equipment they have in every post they make. I think this should be discouraged because it ruins Google searches. (I haven't tested whether it does the same to forum searches.) Sometimes I use Google to search for info so that I can search multiple...

    Question about mixing speaker brands

    I have a bunch of pairs of speakers I'm bought cheaply on Craigslist. There are some great deals, but the problem is they usually only come in pairs. I'm comfortable putting rear speakers in that don't match, but I'm not sure about the center. I was hoping I could just buy one good...

    Upgrade from Onkyo 502 to 803?

    My main receiver is an Onkyo TX-SR502. I use it mostly for music, but I'll be using it for movies soon and moving to a larger room. I have an opportunity to buy a TX-SR803 at a good price. How big of an upgrade would it be? I don't keep up with the HT side of things much, so I'm not clear on...

    Does anyone make cheap line-level crossovers?

    I have a pair of Klipsch RSX-3 speakers from the Klipsch iFi set; the subwoofer with built-in amps stopped working. I can get subwoofers on Craigslist, but they usualy don't have highpass filters. I want to power the mains with a minisystem that doesn't seem to have a highpass. Most subs don't...

    Craigslist score: Infinity HPS-1000

    I ran across an ad for an Infinity HPS-1000 subwoofer that doesn't power on. It was sold circa 2000 for around $1000, with a 15" driver, two 15" passive radiators, 1000 watts advertised, and around 4 cubic feet. I got it for $30. The guy (he seemed reputable) said there was some small water leak...

    Infinity Primus vs. Interlude

    I may have a chance to get some Interlude IL-40's. I had been thinking of getting some Primus 360 or P362. How do they compare? They both use the metal drivers all around with a 4" mid, and one 8" woofer ought to be similar to two 6.5". I notice that the IL's have lower sensitivity. Will that be...
