    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Axiom M22's as surrounds with the M60's

    I have had my M60's for about 18-20 months & recently decided to match them with some surrounds. I had been using some Klipsch KB-1.1's & a rather cheap Klipsch cc & the combo wasn't bad at all........a bit bright a loud volumes but I kind of expected that. I figured the acquisition of some...

    20 amp circuit with 15 amp........

    I pre-bought a house & it's at the point of being wired. I want to add a few things & am not having much luck coordinating with the builder. I've already got my speaker wire runs & comm cables figured but have a question. I'm going to run a dedicated 20 amp circuit to where I plan on having all...

    Tips for HD via satellite?

    I'm looking to enter into HD service now that I have a HDTV but have a couple questions. My initial plan is to stay with Directv & buy/install the equipment myself. I've installed 3 SD Directv systems already so I'm not a novice in that regard, but I'm not sure how Directv is going to try to...

    Decision made...............but calibrate now or later?

    After months of deliberation I've decided on a HDTV..............................the Mitsubishi 55315. I had my mind set on a Samsung HLP-5663 but, after weighing the costs along with all the pros & cons, I decided to go "primitive" & get this RPCRT. I'll be getting a new (not demo) set $1399 vs...

    The idea of buying a demo HDTV..........

    After reading the thread on X'ed warranties,I was curious of how good/bad of an idea it would be to buy a demo(LYs model) on sale. I have a chance to get a 56" Samsung DLP at about $2700 out the door($3500 list). I can kind of figure the pros & cons a bit, a pro(?) being that if the unit had...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    Just got a B&K ST-202+ & I have an issue with it. It's supposed to be 2X200 wpc but I have some serious doubts about it. While the innards look intact & worthy(huge caps & torroidal) it is a wimp. I've heard from some on this forum that B&K overstates the power of their amps but this is...

    B&K ST-202+........

    Anybody have one,or ever used one? I can't find specs for it anywhere,including a google search or the B&K website. It's supposed to be 200wpc x 2 (as compared to the 140wpc of the regular ST-202). Curious if anyone has an opinion or idea where I can find the specs. Thanks in advance........

    Volume ? for B&K-AVR-507

    I'm helping a buddy get into a HT/hifi system & I've got a question.He just bought a B&K AVR-507(good deal @$2500 new) & received his speakers from Axiom(M50s,175,qs4's).He's green so he asked the salesman to program the remote to control everything,so he has the receiver but not the...

    Buy cheap or go deep on amp for Yammy?

    I've been looking at amps for a while & have considered many.I'll probably end up spending more than I want to,but I'm trying to exercise some restraint.I've looked at the Outlaw M200's @ $574(a pair delivered) but have a question.Their site says they are "class A/B/*".Up to 80 watts they are...

    Shame on Bose

    I received a mailer from the Good Guys & while flipping through it found what is basically a HTIB from Bose,only it advertises as "an intelligent system that learns your moods & creates custom playlists on the spot to match how you feel.Right. 5 cubes,a sub,& a 48 CD player for $4000...

    Amp opinions

    I'll try this again. Wrote an earlier thread & it's nowhere to be found. I've been looking to add an amp to my Yammy 3300. I've got Axiom M60's for front,cheap Klipsch center,& soon will have either Axiom m22's or m3's for surrounds.I've narrowed my search(mostly due to budget) down to a couple...

    Amp recommendations

    OK fellas,I've been considering adding an amp to my Yammy 3300 for a while now & have somewhat narrowed it down. I've got a pair of Axiom M60's,cheap Klipsch center,& 2 Klipsch KB1.1's for surrounds(soon to be replaced by either Axiom M22's or M3's).What I would ultimately like to do is have 5X...

    Clint

    Did you review the Odyssey Stratos amp in Feb.? I've been researching amps for a bit & ran across one negative review on this model,which happened to be by someone named Clint. Just curious.Others seem to really like these,but then most people seem to give good reviews to the gear they buy. I...

    Measuring driver size

    Just curious how speaker manufacturers arrive at the stated size of the drivers in their speakers. I've measured a number of drivers in different speakers & none are the stated size. Even measuring across the entire face plate most are smaller than advertised. Anybody know why?

    Good neutral cd's

    I'd like some suggestions of what you would consider good sounding,neutral-toned CD's. I have quite a mix of classic rock from 60's to present day stuff & while a lot of it sounds good,some of it sounds sibilant. Putting it simply,I'm trying to gauge if what I'm hearing is considered...
