    B&K ref 50 problem

    Hello all..........been awhile. I haven't had the time (nor the money) to a lot with my system for a while but just recently was able to pickup a B&K ref 50 (not S2) for $180 (sans remote) locally. It's in fabulous condition & I've been hoping to find one to pair with my 7250-II amp instead...

    BMXTRIX.......or other experienced Projector people

    Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Didn't even think about the heat factor mtry.........thanks for mentioning it. I didn't notice that Proj. Cent. HAD a forum. I guess I'll check it out now that I know. As far as viewing distance, I was going by the "1.5X the screen size for viewing...

    BMXTRIX.......or other experienced Projector people

    I want to make a move to a FP in the future & have a few questions. I've been reading a lot at Projector Central & here. While I've gathered lots of info, a couple things are still a bit vague. 1. Is it better to be in the middle of the "throw range" of a projector or is it preferable not to...

    Paradigm Monitor 11 vs Axiom M60/M80

    Either one will be a nice upgrade from what you're using. I have the M60's (V1) & love them. They beat, by a long ways, anything I could've gotten for $800 from a B&M. If I had to critique them, I'd start with the fact that they can be bright if driven with a weak amp/receiver. I started with a...

    Denon 3910 or 5900?

    You may want to hold off as HD-DVD players are starting to emerge...........Toshiba has one out & it, along with the HD-DVD format in general, are getting good reviews. Priced @ $500. Something to think about since I'm pretty sure the 3910 costs much more.

    amps?

    frank.............I've also got a 3300 & am currently running amps off of it. No problems. I have no plans on replacing it unless I get an outrageous urge to go to 7.1. I'm not sure replacing it would make much sense unless A) you're dying for 7.1 & B) you can get $400-$500 for it to offset...

    Ticketmaster

    gellor...........What they do around here (Seattle) is have a "pre-sale" where only the brokers or those with large accts. can access the tickets. Saw the same thing with Paul McCartney LY.........tickets in the 1st 5 rows were going for over $1,500 each when the face was "only" $250. When...

    Ticketmaster

    I guess this falls into the "noone said life was fair" category. I'm sure there's some greasin' goin on behind the scenes. In the past, by law of this state, you could jack the price of a ticket to anything by calling it a "package deal". I.E., throw in a hot dog & a Coke & you could charge $200...

    Ticketmaster

    I'm sure this has been "discussed" here before but I'm pissed. Roger Waters is coming to Seattle in mid-Oct. &, a week before the GP can even purchase tickets, the best seats available are mid way back in Key Arena. It's not bad enough that floor seats are $125 (I'd pay it) but they give all...

    $3.50 a gallon? GMAFB

    Funny how when there was a threat of probes for price-gouging gas prices went down briefly. Now it's higher then ever. They set us up (again)..........they jacked prices but when we *****ed they backed off to placate us. Still, the reduced prices were higher than when they began raising them LY...

    Receiver to Speaker Power? Need Audioholics Help?

    What do you guys think about this setup? Will I be underpowered? I'm not a big fan of Sony receivers but if the price is right on an ES model.........why not. Power should be adequate for the speakers & the room. You may want to do some comparisons on receivers. Check the way Sony rates...

    KOMO 4 in Seattle

    I find it aggravating to turn on the tube on a Saturday a.m. in the fall & see that all the locals are showing ads for the "Ab trainer", or some guy who wants to make you a millionaire......... meanwhile Oklahoma vs Nebraska is being shown around the rest of the country. Of course I'm a CFB nut...

    KOMO 4 in Seattle

    Our locals out here are a joke. They'd rather show "paid programming" than sports. I've never noticed the stereo thing with KOMO..........I have DTV & only watch KOMO when MNF is on. Seems to me it's not been an issue. But I know guys that have HD via CATV & they have problems with the MNF...

    The Who......Live in Boston

    Picked this up tonight & just finished watching it..................wish I had saved my money. Very average camera work with poor PQ for something that was shot in the L5 years. Sound is OK but the performance is bland. Daltry looks (& sounds) like he's doing the last of 5 shows in a row after a...

    What Is the best live show you've seen?

    Loverboy opened for Journey here in Seattle long ago & I agree........they were damn good. Also saw Sammy Hagar open for Boston back in the 70's...........he stole the show. Best kick-*** concert? Judas Priest back in about 1977. Got free tickets..........ended up down on the floor 5-6 rows...

    I've done a fair amount of biz with Mag. Yes, their prices are pretty much msrp, but they have stuff on sale frequently...........& they're willing to come off their list prices. They have some knowledgeable staff but aren't immuned to pushing cables.;) Their 30-day NQA return policy is...

    Need help with a few Questions

    Go ahead & get speakers, then see how you like the combo. I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to upgrade from a "8-10yo Sony 5.1 amp (receiver?)". Which one? That's the fun part...............Denon....Yamaha....Marantz....Pioneer.......there's a lot to choose from. Peruse this site for a bit &...
