So the HDMI board on my Onkyo finally fried. I'm going to run HDMI straight to my projector and hook up an optical line to the Onkyo in an attempt to be able to still use it for the time being. But that brings me to my question: If you had to buy a receiver today, which one would you buy...

I'm upgrading to a Projector and Screen, and I've been reading everywhere trying to figure this out. This is what I came up with, am I correct, or nuts? 1.) Screen: I have a dream of having a screen go from wall to wall. I have 136" from side wall to side wall and 96" from floor to ceiling. My...

I keep upgrading my theater, and looming in the near future is an acoustically transparent projector screen. Once that is in, I'd like to have 3 identical Floorstanding speakers as the L,C,R. Looking at Floorstanding speakers, I notice some brands have a dedicated L + R speaker, making me...

After a very long year, I finally got my Funk Audio 18.3 Subs up and running. Had a lot of room preparation I wanted to do before putting them up (and a lot of other projects around the house that took priority), but as of yesterday they are fully functional. So what did it take to get them...

So the room is undergoing reconstructive surgery and I'm running all new speaker wire (In with the BlueJeans and out with the Monster). I'm going to an 11.2 setup and I would love to label each speaker wire and color code it with the matching color on the receiver. I was thinking of just using...

So I'm moving around my theater room in preparation of adding 2 new subs, and I spend 2 hours calibrating it last night with a tape measure and an SPL meter, making sure everything is perfect. Then I go to calibrate the 2 buttkickers I have hooked up to the LFE and the 2 Clark Synthesis...

So, I bought my house 5+ years ago, and since then most of my free time and spare change has gone into building my home theater. I'm in the middle of adding 2 more subs (Thanks to Funk Audio), and I decided to calculate what my hobby has cost me. It turns out I could have been driving a pretty...

I don’t see many posts about transducers on the board, so let me share my experience and setup with you so others who may be interested may benefit. I've been dying to both to add some transducers to my setup…and buy a theater (love)seat. After about 4 years of wanting, I finally gathered...

Do amps really have frequency responses? I bought a Crown XLS2500 to power a sub, but I just noticed that the published frequency response is: "at 1 watt, 20 Hz - 20 kHz +0 DB, -1 DB." Direct link: XLS Drivecore™ Series Does this mean that the amp won't pass frequencies under 20Hz to...

So my dream has been to replace my raggedy old couch with a new HT couch (loveseat since there is only 2 of us in the house). For years I've been totally entralled by the idea of putting some transucers in the couch, and after looking at everything I've decided on the Clark Synthesis Transducers...

Problem: So I've had 2 Polk Audio DSW 4000 Micropro subs. I really like them and I got them for a good price (are now discontinued). Well, the other night, I was watching Insidious and I noticed this "flapping" sound coming from one sub. Insidious itself was a good movie, with ok sound, but...

When you setup your system and level match all your speakers, how loud above the other speakers do you set your sub? I think from the listening position I level matched all my speakers to 75 db, and then when it came to the sub, I set it to 75 db average (because it jumps around a lot on the...

OK, so my two front tower speakers have built in subwoofers. However, I also have 2 very nice subwoofers in the theater as well. So the question is, what do I cross the front speakers over at? I have them at full range right now, but is that right? This is what I don't get. What is the LFE...

I don't get it. Some movies I watch have an amazing soundtrack, and some movies I watch, well, I'm just amazed at how poor the soundtrack is. Let's take for example Jonah Hex versus Red. Both were Blue-ray discs from Netflix and both were brand new (no scratches on the disc, disc looked...

Disclaimer I'm not hear to start a conversation about whether or not powerconditioning works or not, I'm here to talk specifically about PS Audio's claims on the capabilities of their PowerPlants. History OK, so my awesome girlfriend bought me an incredible Christmas present this year. On...

Ok, strange question here. I currently have front speakers (Boston acoustics VR3) with biwire cable running from them (+ and - from receiver splits to hi + and - and low + and - at the speaker). I am replacing the speakers with polk Audio lsi25's (just purchased) which are biwire capable, but...

Hi, I stumbled across this site a while ago and I have been coming here more and more often. I have a "beginnerish" question here. I'll post the question first for those short on time. But for those who want to know why I'm asking, I'll post the background after. Direct Question I have 7.1...
