I'm selling my like-new BDI Valera 9729. It's the Dark Espresso color. I bought it 6 months ago, but I am moving soon and need to downsize on furniture. I'll get some photos up after work. Send me a PM if seriously interested. $550 or best offer Located in Milan, IL. I'm willing to deliver...

I had a PC12-NSD and did not like it one bit. I returned it very shortly after listening to it. It lacked punch and extension compared to my ported box subs. Room acoustics and placement play a big part, so I'm sure they work great for some people. They just didn't for my particular...

It sounds like you're getting a negligible difference in the audible frequency ranges. 2 dB at 20 Hz likely won't sound any different since that's about the bottom limit of what the human ear can interpret as audible sound, but could be felt possibly to your point of more perceived impact...

Well it would be simple enough to measure SPL changes using a good meter and test tones throughout the frequency range with the grille on and off. It'd be more difficult to compare sound quality though. The placebo effect can sometimes be a problem with such minor changes without objectively...

It was a pretty good flick. I'll pick it up on Blu-ray just to complete the trilogy since I own the other two. I predict it'll have a pretty serious LFE channel. I saw it at a local IMAX and their subs were working overtime for this one. I hope they do this one in DTS-HD Master Audio...

Comparing 4 of one sub against 1 of another is not an apples to apples comparison; that would be comparing a subwoofer array to a single sub. If that's the case and money is no object like you said, you would need to compare 4 Sub 2s to 4 PB-13 Ultras. Again, the reason you need to set price...

I'd put the Paradigm Sub 2 and JL Gotham above anything on that list. PB-13 Ultra is nice but not in the same league as either the Sub 2 or Gotham. It's definitely a better value from a price standpoint but not a better sub. This thread doesn't make sense without price categories.

I was able to get my plugs out last night. I just used a needle nose pair of scissors to get under them. I wish I would've known these came out a year ago. :)

Thanks guys. I'll take a look at mine and see about removing them. I've owned mine for quite a while and never new they came out.

Are the red and black plugs on the ends of the bindings posts of the P363 removable? I read in the Audioholics review that they were difficult to remove, but I guess I never realized they were removable. If so, I assume it's so they can accept a banana plug?

Yeah I saw you reset it but didn't see anywhere that the firmware was checked. Good luck on the fix. Let us know what the final verdict is. Misbehaving components are no fun.

Did you try the factory reset and make sure the firmware was up to date before taking it in for service? Those are kind of no-brainers but figured I'd ask.

Thanks. I thought so, but I wanted to be sure. That said, I'm very impressed with the improvement Audyssey MultiEQ XT makes. I never thought it would make that much of a difference, but it's a dramatic improvement compared to my previous Sony STR-DH820 receiver. Everything sounds much...

I was working on configuring my new receiver (Denon 2312CI / Audyssey MultiEQ XT) yesterday, and I came up with a speaker level question. I have a simple 2.1 system with Infinity P363 fronts and an Infinity PS312BK sub. I went through the Audyssey auto setup, and it set both front speaker...

I've been real happy with my Sony BDP-S790. It has some nice features (dual-core CPU, dual HDMI out, 4K upscaling) for the price ($249.99).

Just try it out before you over-extend yourself on a receiver if it's not currently in your budget. The worst case scenario is you won't be satisfied or it's missing something you need and have to upgrade the receiver. At best you're happy with it for now and saved yourself money by giving it...

I love my P363s. I've had them for a couple years now. People are always impressed with my 2.1 setup when I demo it (P363s & PS312BK sub in a relatively small living room).

You can try disabling control for HDMI on both your TV and receiver. Most have that setting although it may be labeled differently from brand to brand. There may also be a setting on the graphics card to disable HDMI control.

There is no right answer for how much you should spend since everyone has a different budget. The important thing is to listen to as many as you can in person that are affordable and pick what you think sounds best. The other question is do you absolutely require a 5.1 system or would you be...

Regardless of whether transformers should or shouldn't hum, it sounds like there are a lot of current model receivers on the market including high end units that exhibit at least some audible hum if you get close enough and listen. There was a thread on another forum discussing someone that...
