Hey All, My uncle is looking to buy a soundbar soon to fit in a very small space for watching TV and listening to music. He doesn't have room for a real speaker system, so a soundbar is the best he can do. Also, he would really avoid a subwoofer if possible due to lack of space in his room...

Quick question regarding file type and bitrate. WAV always rips my files into 1411 kbps files. I just tried Apple Lossless and it ripped inconsistently, but in the 700-800 kbps range? Is the kbps showing the bit rate post-compression and pre-uncompression for the ALAC files? I'm confused...

Where do you guys get good skins for foobar? It's a little bleak in the stock offering.

Hey All, Currently, I use iTunes on my computer to stream audio via optical to my home theater system. I enjoy iTunes a lot because I'm used to it, and it's simple. However, like a lot of people here, I have a high interest in audio quality. Currently, I rip my CDs to .wav for use in iTunes...

ack_bak, This is why I've been primarily asking about the svs pb-1000 in this thread. SVS states that it will dig down to 19hz or so. I haven't seen a professional review of the sub yet, so whether or not it can actually do this is something that I think is still untested. But if it did...

ShadyJ, Yes, that would be the best option for me. However, the wife says no. The purpose of this thread isn't primarily for my benefit, I think I derailed it myself with a few comments of my own. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what recommendation would work best for my friend, who has...

Yes, I have tried lowering the crossover frequency. The issue is, I think I like more bass than the average person and when I lower it to 60hz I lose some of the tactile feel that I like from my 15" woofer in that range.

Forgot to mention that I'm running Audyssey MultEQ as well. The sub does not sound drastically different in front of or behind the listening position. There are some differences, but not like, "woah, it's much more ____ here." Back to my original question though. If an SVS pb-12 ultra were a...

I'm not sure if it's a room mode issue or not. I'm about 14 feet from the front wall, and about 8 from the back wall. My room is roughly 21ft long and 14ft wide with an 8ft ceiling.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Something that I experience, and I'm not sure if others do, but when I place my sub (hsu vtf-15h) next to one of my Aperion Verus Grand Towers at the front of my room, certain songs cause the low end to be biased to the left or right, depending on where I have...

Hey All, This has probably been asked before, if so, feel free to point me to other threads. But basically, my question is this: Could 2 smaller/less powerful subs be comparable in performance or output to 1 larger/more powerful sub. Assuming this setup is 50/50 music/movies, what do you...

Thanks for posting the pics of your room and for the review! Looks like a great set up! Digi, where in WA are you located? I'm about 2 hours north of Seattle. If you're kinda close, and if you're willing, I'd love to schedule a time to come check out your system as I'm looking at getting...
