I've placed my sub in the right front corner about a foot out from each wall. This spot is the best compromise between size constraints and sound quality. I would really love to have two identical subs and set them up alongside my front speakers. Budget and room size are all that keeps that...

That really is a great idea. I'm going to have to do that one night for the neighbours. Might not be till next year, it's cooling off pretty good here right now. The only thing I'm worried about is attracting the annoying neighbour showing up. Everyone has one, and ours would be into this...

I'm really pumped about this one. At first I thought it was a remake of The 300 Spartans. A classic movie. The tale of Leonidas was one of my favourites as a kid. Cool tale and even cooler that it's rooted in fact.

;)I never did get the T-amp although I'd still like to play with one. My excitement for that amp was quickly calmed with a couple of emails from friends. I'd still like to try it like I said, but it can't be had for $20 up here north of the border, and my audio priorities have switched a...

I was working around the corner from Sonic Boom (the SVS distributer in Canada) on Wed. and stopped by just to see what they had. All that is in stock at the moment is a PB-10 and a PB-12, The current showroom is REALLY not set up to demo subs. However the guys from Electronics for Less...

nice review sheep. I happen to think that Athena's products have taken a step back from when they were introduced. Still a good product for the buck but not the steal they once were. Again, nice review.

I think that the US citizen that was found in Afganistan training with the terrorists IS an enemy of the US, and Canada, and everywhere else for that matter. I feel the same about all people who train to subvert or attack a country using fear or terror as the means. Those Canadian citizens (11...

I'm always glad to see a good PSB review, but I've got to say I'm not a huge fan of this one 3db. The reviewer used too much flowery language for me. Again, I liked the sentiment, but didn't like the text itself. To be honest I do think the Alpha speakers are OK, and the prices are very fair...

Sheep, I'm sad (or proud, can't tell which) to say that Family Guy dialouge has creeped into my daily conversations. Don't forget the taint.

One of my favourite ongoing jokes is where Brian just out of the blue sucker punches Peter for seemingly no reason. When Peter asks what the cheap shot was for Brian says "That was for rolling up the windows on the General Lee, Jackass." You had to be a fan to get the reference, but it gave me...

I think that you have a point jad2. If people are happy with their Bose setups then leave them be. If anyone asks me I tell them to stay away from the B-word because of the outrageous cost to performance issues, but if someone I know has already bought a set and likes the sound I keep my mouth...

Congrats on all the kids working guys. And there are some decent buys to be had at BB from time to time that could be pretty tempting with an additional discount.

Nice job sheepy. SO $100 well spent then eh?

Put some black electrical tape over the red light or black out the light with marker if you must. J garcia is 100% right. NEVER plug the sub into the receiver, the outlets on the back are suited to run a Small fan for cooling purposes or other very small power requirement devices. Subs draw a...

I'm glad to see that you were extended some more Canuck hospitality. How did you guys find the weather up here? It's also nice to see the effort put into research by Axiom. I'm sure someone will eventually post about how by not doing this or that Axiom is missing something in their designs...

Not for sale up here Buck, I was looking at getting a pair for some horsing around at that price. Those really are some nice looking speakers. I have to admit to skepticism of anything sold by insignia, but maybe that's unearned in this particular instance.

Just contact the parent company for each product and ask for local dealers. Bic: http://www.bicamerica.com Athena: http://athenaspeakers.com/ Athena's parent company is API. API owns some very nice brands IMO, including Energy and Mirage. The technology in energy seems to trickle down...

I thought your friend picked up the 160'? ;) Looking forward to the comparison.

Good luck MikeD. Let us know how it works for you. That receiver is a good entry level model with lots of features that will serve you well I believe. Make sure you tell us how it goes.

I know that there are cheaper etailers out there, but Crutchfield often has pretty good sales. Also if they can get some prices closer to the US MSRP then I'll still be happy. If you guys want some giggles take a look on the web and look up some of the prices we pay for brands like Onkyo...
