I'm in Sacramento, CA. There's a big pile of computer parts/junk sitting on my living floor in front of the sub, would make for an ugly pic. I can email anyone who wants pics. I take good care of my stuff, so it is in excellent condition with no wear or physical or component damage as my post...

Up for sale is a used (with good care) SVS PB12-NSD Subwoofer. I got it back in May 2009 and it still has one year left on the manufacturer warranty. I contacted SVS and they told me I can transfer it to whoever buys it from me. To my knowledge, it comes with the latest version of the BASH...

I've seen Youtube videos of people running Q900 speakers off of just a receiver and saying they loved the sound. No doubt using good amps will get more out of these speakers, but I'm thinking maybe a good receiver will run them good enough too. Still, I wish more people would comment about...

Hi everyone, I tried doing a forum search about the current "new" KEF Q series speakers and didn't come up with much or even much about KEF speakers in general. Are they not popular here in the US? I noticed reviews in UK Audio Gear magazines and UK Audio forums, but not much in our forums...

I can't really tell or found any specs on the Paradigm Monitor 7 V4s, but it looks like the V4s were the last to use 6.5" mid and bass drivers. It seems they shrunk their monitor line from V5 on to favor the trend towards smaller sized speakers these days. I had a pair on Monitor 7 V1s from...

I got a pair of the new Monitor 9 V6s and I love them. Yeah I can understand how the midbass can be considered "muddy", but personally I don't mind. I love the overall sound that comes from them and find them a good progression from the 12-year old Monitor 7s that they replaced (back then, the...

Well Bob (LOTR), I guess you and I among the few here with that point of view. To be fair, I did say that if the OP liked the sound of his 3802 that he'd like whatever new model Denon he got...and just for the record, he did thank me for my post. Everyone has their own sound tasts of...

Having owned a 3802 myself around 8 years ago, I know it was a pretty good receiver. Still the best Denon I feel that I've owned was the AVR-4800, the one I upgraded/downgraded to the 3802 from. That perspective is based on build quality as well as quality of the amplifier section. As I feel...

Well if you're looking at something like the Energy Take 5, you mine as well look at TSC's TSAT system. Audioholics did a good write up on them here: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/satellite/tsat-1000-ht8-b Looks like they've got a sale going on right now...

Yup, just recently sold off my Monitor 7s, CC-370 V3s and Cinema ADP V3s. I've had the Monitors since 1997 and they have served me well. Originally I got an LCR-350 (to save money off of buying an CC-350), but sold that one back in 2002. That was when I had a planned trip up to visit...

That's good to know with Axiom. Since I never got beyond simply browsing their website speaker pages, I wasn't sure of if shipping was free both ways or not. Still, their return shipping is very cheap compared to if you actually went to UPS of FedEx to ship such things...guess that's the...

That's a great midline receiver. From what I've read, Fluance seems to be a decent budget speaker company. The people I've read posts of seem to like them considering how cheap in price they are. To copy my post from another thread, there are better options out there and it certainly depends...

You might want to look into internet direct speaker companies that let your audition the speakers at home where you're actually going to be using them. That's the only way to know whether any speakers you want to buy will sound good to you or not. Many of them have a 30-day in home trial...

I'm not going to get into whatever you guys have going on. But honestly I did find his description of Denon receiver sound to be almost exact to how I feel about it and that's why I used what he said as reference.

Just like LOTR, none of what I said is based off of any measuring equipment other than my ears. It is fine that your opinion leads your beliefs that anyone who experiences such things has it related to being psychological. Now if this debate were about say speaker wire, I can see where that...

Wow, those EP100s look like a blast from the past: http://www.humanspeakers.com/e/epi100.htm It's too bad the TST3s didn't work out for you. But I do understand we each have our own tastes for sound. What I will say is that I really don't think TSC speakers (particularly the towers) sound...

That sounds like a damn good price for a CC-290. Is this for a V5 or V6? Local dealer? Display models or brand new? My local Paradigm dealer quoted me this 5.1 setup: Monitor 9 V6 pair for $918.67 CC-290 V6 for $476.67 ADP390 V6 pair for $814.66 Subtotal of $2210 before local...

Scientifically speaking, what you just said makes alot of sense. I for one though can't discount my ears and what I've heard through the years using the same speakers and different brands and models of receivers. To this day, I would say I liked the sound of my Denon AVR-4800 the most. Even...

Like any hobbies, I just don't see any joy if I don't dive in and try everything. With regards to receivers, I'm glad I've tried so many brands and have found things about each of them that I like. I guess I can see how one bad experience with something would steer someone away, but I also...

Fair enough Bob, I guess we all have our own to be passionate about. Hence the saying "to each their own". I guess I embellished a bit with my description of what you said. I guess I was simply surprised you weren't willing to give a more fair billing to Pioneer as it seemed like you only...
