    Onkyo TX-NR626 Receiver Review

    Sweet looking dog. We rescued our dog from a shelter a couple of years ago and she's amazing. The shelter labeled her as a border collie mix, which are supposed to be sensitive dogs according to our trainer and need a different approach to training. Well, it didn't seem to be working all that...

    Audio Rack Suggestion

    I have a Salamander Designs Synergy cabinet and overall I've been pleased with it. It's a system and you can buy a variety of different parts for it. I was able to get a good price on a system sold by Salamander through Amazon. One caveat is that the standard design isn't very deep, I'm...

    best subwoofer for under $500?

    Think there's a problem with your link to the stereo integrity subs, when I clicked on it I went to a parts express sub kit - I think this is the link you meant to use Stereo Integrity | HT Subwoofers

    They're not called 'Whole Paycheck' for nothin! We do most of our shopping elsewhere but they do have some good things that are hard to find elsewhere. Also for things like the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout it's price is pretty standard where ever you go. Same for the Anchor Christmas which...

    Received my Carnegie CSB1's today, a lot of people wanted to know what I thought...

    I was wondering about the towers and how easy it would be to add all the dampening material. From the diagrams it looked like it might be a tight fit to do it all by just taking the drivers out. Did you inquire about that when you were discussing the towers?

    A whole load of receiver/5.1 problems

    Shortening the bare wire is a really good place to start; that's only asking for trouble. I don't know about the MK2 model, but the older sub could be connected to a LFE out by only using the left channel. I don't see a manual for the new version. Here's a link to the manual of the older...

    A whole load of receiver/5.1 problems

    Your AVR has a sub pre-out, why do you need an rca splitter to hook it up? Not that it has anything to do with your issues.

    what are you drinking right now ?

    The Ten FIDY is a really good brew, however they do pack a punch. Not the best beer for a school night ;-) I bought several four packs when Cost Plus World Market had their 30% off sale and I've been able to pace myself. Still have 2 four packs left. I was at Whole Foods today and saw...

    Need Help/Advice on New A/V Receiver Please.

    Probably best to decide on speakers first, then choose the avr so that you'll be sure to have adequate power for the speakers. For instance Marantz recommends 6 ohm speakers or above with the MM7055.

    Not sure of other physical differences but the Aventage line has a three year warranty, the RX-V only two.

    ACL Day 3 cancelled due to rains & flooding

    Well, that's kind of a bummer. Opted to go the second weekend hoping the weather would be cooler. As it turned out it was hotter, and today was cancelled due to rains & flooding. Have to admit I'm kinda glad though; the last updates were that there was 3-4" of standing water all over the...

    Amazon, am I doing it wrong?

    Yes, Amazon doesn't always have great prices, but sometimes they do. I've often had the price of an item go up on me if I watch it for a week or two. When looking for a pellet grill I used camelcamelcamel to look at historical prices and to watch the price of a grill for a while. They slowly...
