    New System is FINALLY Here.

    AcuDefTechGuy: Thanks for the tip. Like I said... I've got more tweaking to do. The changes I made in the EQ on the amp were very minimal at most. There's just way too much here to play with :cool: I figured since the EQ was in the amp itself and not an add on it wouldn't hurt too much...

    New System is FINALLY Here.

    After 14 years, I thought it was time to upgrade! The old system was a Technics SA-GX670 Dolby Pro Logic Surround(circa 1994), Cerwin Vega RE-12's and Pioneer SNK-060-0 for the rears. No center, no sub. Thanks to those of you who took the time to answer my questions, I got what at the...

    Is there "NO COUNTRY" (A/V receiver)for this old man?

    brulaha, I'm considering the Denon 3808ci myself. I didn't even realize that tone knobs weren't included anymore. Doah! This is one instance where my slowness to buy could be good. It's been 10+ years since I've done any audio shopping. Can the 3808 can be hooked up to an E.Q. ? I...

    In over my head!

    20Glove, Thanks, it was a pain staking decision. It's definitely over my budget, but it seems to be the break point in "bang for the buck". I've never owned a Denon, and the only other negative thing beside your reference to customer service was "the remote sucks". But after more...

    How to move a big tube tv?

    I set mine on a very large STRONG towel, making sure that the towel was wider than the set . This allows it to wrap around the TV so it doesn't slide out on one side or the other. One person on each side, wrap the towel corners around your hands. The person at the bottom when going up or down...

    In over my head!

    Wow! WOW!!! I've learned more in one thread than I have in a weeks worth of searching the net! Speaker placement was probably the interesting. I too am in the midst of upgrading from a 10+ year old system built purely out the Technics equipment. GX670 etc... It doesn't sound too bad...

    Waste Heat and Enclosure Cooling

    Very good point! I hadn't thought of that(yet). I just got circuit breakers put in within the past 2 years. Some of the house has been rewired. Most of it is 3 wire, but there's still some 2 wire where it's hard to get at. Fortunately, the first floor is easy as there's no ceiling in the...

    Waste Heat and Enclosure Cooling

    Well, I knew something was wrong. The tag on the unit says 7.2 amps. I could not find the wattage in the owners manual either. It only shows wattage to the speakers. I did a little searching on the net an found a couple of reviews that state the power consumption at 550 watts. Thanks for...

    Waste Heat and Enclosure Cooling

    enjoythemusic, Thanks for the reply, The formula that I found in a couple of places, including my brother, who was an ETN3 (Electronics Technition) in the navy. is (total watts x 0.8) x 3.412 = btu's/hr. Now this would work out to just under 2,500 btu's/hr. Figuring on 130w x 7 channels...

    Waste Heat and Enclosure Cooling

    Hi, I'm brand new here and did try to search for what I needed first little or no luck, so here goes. I'm putting together a new home theater system. I was looking at a Denon 3808 for the receiver. Since this is going in an enclosure, I'm concerned about the heat generated within...
