I currently own a set of 601 series II's and I have always preferred them to the 901's. They fill the room like the 901's but have much stronger bass and better vocals as well. I do agree that bose has become a sham and are only in it for the money but at one time Dr Bose was making some...

I've only read ONE poor speaker review in all my years as an audio enthusiast and that was Bose. Why is it that everyone is willing to piss off bose for making cheap sub-par products yet they tip toe around with any other speaker reviews? If a company is making crappy products then they should...

I can see programs with a live audience causing a few problems with the lighting...lol

I kept and older 90's pioneer receiver in my garage for years when I lived in ohio with no problems at all. Temps can swing drastically in ohio and my garage was uninsulated and had no heat. Temps ranged from below 0*F in winter to 100*F+ in summer heat inside the garage. It would sound thin in...

If you are looking for wife acceptance a medium to dark color on the walls combined with non-reflective fabric panels/curtains directly around the screen somewhat like an old theater would work well. Even dark shoji screens might work. I do have one question about your friends theater...

Never been a big fan of peavey equipment. I always preferred fender, marshall and Line 6 for good sound quality for instruments. The pioneer receiver you have should be fine for 2ch use. I highly doubt the pyle speakers will be much better than the bose. I would look into the dayton B652's...

You just need an RCA splitter. It will be a Y cable...one female RCA connection into 2 male RCA connections. That is how I have mine connected to my Pioneer which only has a single RCA sub out.

Just a suggestion... but it probably wouldn't cost much to have the in-ceiling wires fished into the front wall by an electrician or handyman so that you could use in-wall speakers which will give you a much better/more natural soundstage. It would take up part of your budget but even with cheap...

I never said I believed the claims but its one of those things I had to try for myself. I figured there was no way static electricity could effect the sound since the wires have shielding around them. Funny you posted this because I'm watching a program on H2 about star trek technology...it...

According to what I have read it does help especially on carpet where static buildup can generate a magnetic field around the wires potentially degrading the sound. I recently moved my wires so that they sit on top of the baseboards along the walls which keeps them about 2-3" off the floor and I...

From what I was told room treatments aren't recommended with the bose. It defeats the reflections and ruins the sound stage. Aside from carpet and upholstered furniture to tame any brightness I would stay away from wall treatments. I have a vintage pair of 601's and heavy wall treatments and...

Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into the PE high pass crossover. As for the phase shift I would be able to adjust for that with the phase control on the sub...correct? The speakers are 8 ohm so the crossover should work. If not the used receiver isn't a bad idea.

I recently purchased a Dayton Audio SUB-800 8" 80 Watt Powered Subwoofer for my sons system. He is running an older Pioneer 2ch. receiver with a small set of Advent bookshelf speakers. I connected the sub and speakers using the high level connections since the pioneer had no subwoofer output...

Questions 1. How do you buy your high-end audio products today? Why? Online Specialty Retail Store Custom Installer I mostly buy from retail stores but I have been buying more and more from online sources. 2. What three consumer electronics products in the market today are you most...

There was a time when bose made decent products (early 80's) but this new plastic filled stuff they are making is purely about profit...period. I have listened to the acoustimass setups and while they don't sound awful they are still very over-priced. I can hear the lack of lower-mid sounds that...

Try this place. http://www.plan9music.com/Home I've been to their store in Richmond and they have a huge selection of vinyl. Click the link on the left side under "More Stuff" that says "Our VINYL Store"

Just wanted to add a couple to the list... Death Cab For Cutie- Narrow Stairs...excellent sonics IMO Stephen Stills- Stills Alone...great vocals and acoustic sounds...formerly the disc I used to show off my system Jason Mraz- We Sing We Dance We Steal Things...excellent blend of music types...

Personally I think they image quite well but ONLY when properly positioned which can be difficult to say the least. I checked out that Oak Tree Vintage and they want $899 for a pair of 601's...OMG! Mine were only around $600 new back in '82.
