    Feeler post: 3.1 Sierra's + Outlaw

    Original owner, nonsmoker, carefully treated, I have no idea how to write these posts well. This system was planned for me to use but resulted in heavy kid programming: Backyardagans, Frozen, Vegetales, etc. usage. Sierra Towers + matching NrT center = $2200 Sierra Towers + matching NrT center...

    Sierra Towers with matching NrT center in silicon valley

    This is a feeler for people who want these speakers locally. I've got them and they're wonderful. Should I move them to my new locale or sell them? I love 'em but moving them incurs risk. They are in 9/10 condition with daily, low volume usage of on demand children's programming. Yes I pushed...

    Powering Ascend Sierras with room to grow, need advice!

    Hi everyone! The 'holics (holla!) helped me so much getting an idea what to buy for a budget/beginner semi-audiophile set up. Thanks so much for everyone's help. I went with 3x Emptek EW-30's an Outlaw LFM-1 EX, and a refurb Marantz 5004. My wife and I were not impressed by the Emptek's...

    EMPTek EW-30 on-wall speakers (LCR) $450

    Three (Left, Right, and Center) EMP Tek EW-30's for sale. Only 1 year old, excellent condition, 9/10. Primary use was movies, jazz, electronica, and children's programming. WAF in major effect here, going to self-amped soundbar (barf) to keep her happy. If they don't sell I will transplant...

    Yet another AVR vs. Prepro/Amp thread

    This time it's different! I am seeking your advice on a new power section for my new system. The LCR speakers are Emptek EW30 and the rears are yet to be decided (likely very small satellites or book shelf) all backed up by an Outlaw LF-1 Plus (ordered and shipped). The current Denon AVR-587...

    5.1 system build up in progress, advice humbly requested

    I'm seeking advice on a new HT/music system for my nascent addiction. Now that I've got a TV I need a fairly compact surround system that meets the needs of my family. WAF and a toddler, whee! I'm planning to mount the L+R on the walls, with the center on a credenza beneath the TV. Rears will...

    New AVR leading to amp ... recommendation requested

That post lead to this one, as well as another in the loudspeakers section. Will try to avoid Dept. of Redundancy Dept. My plan is to begin powering...

    EMP vs. SVS vs. Atlantic vs. Energy
