High Price for a ceiling speaker. In Ceiling is for background music and you are right, not a good home theater choice. . Still my customer wants these .. OK. I do like some polk speakers. The bookshelf LSi7 were really nice in one job I installed. High Powered HK driving them. They sounded as...

I ran 16/4 , decent speaker wire , in conduit that electricians ran had 3 sharp turns. Maybe 200 feet? Length of the house plus to the pool. Speakers on the ground. I could mount to a couple of trees. Speakers about 15 feet from chairs. Speakers are 5.25 outdoor. Volume is set at next to...

Does anybody know a decent phono preamp? What about the tube ones for around 100 bucks? Any better than solid state ? I don't know if customer has ceramic or magnetic cartridge. Just bulding a system and trying to use an old HK 5.1 amp AVR 883? or 583 that seems to be pretty solid. Want to...

I like Bowers & Wilkens but they could go thru budget in a hurry.

Thank you. I will forget the matrix. Although I did install a Key Digital 8X8 in commercial app and works pretty well. I have cat 6 everywhere and under 100 feet. I can not sell Crestron and it is a bit pricey. I can do pretty much the same things thru HAI and russsound.

I am in a prewire and want to use Atlona lite (230 foot)HD base T extenders. 100 feet max, cat6, Marantz AVR 7008 & 6008, maybe a matrix switch ( Snap av OK? 4x4 not available at this date) for one location with 3 TV's and one 5.1 theater. I ran a 75 foot HDMI and customer added some changes...

I don't understand that comparison. I use pretty simple systems for customers. With network control, Airplay, and mx 900 remote controls. A typical system would be a $550. receiver, apple TV, BluRay & a cable box, with average speakers, in wall or ceiling. They need to be simple for everyone.

I do recall using a pioneer vsx 60 or something like that a couple years ago. Two or three people have liked pioneer over the others. It is a bit farther for me to drive to get, but I will give them a try. I might even take the yamaha back i fI can't get tech support on the phone. Support also...

The best I have ever heard these speakers is with a HK high output stereo receiver. They were in a different room and much closer together. Whole lotta love lead ride was out off this world.

Stopped using denon AVR x2000 and wanted to know who likes pioneer and yamaha and why?. Used a yamaha rx-a730 for the first time and the programming is a bit confusing. Ii can get pioneer, sony, onyko, denon, marantz, and yamaha at dealer cost.. Also I need to program universal remote control (...

You should use a receiver with airplay to play wireless iTunes. Also you need a receiver with a zone 2 output speaker level will work if you install an impedance matching speaker selector. Russound speaker selector and Denon AVR X2000 would work. If you want to spend more you can . Marantz...

2011 I installed a Samsung BD-D7500 Wall Mount Bluray player. I can not find any wall mount bluray or DVD today. Anybody know of one. I might have to use a shelf but was trying to avoid that.

Speakers make the sound, yes, but they only make the sound that is given to them. Question is, how do I get the best sound without breaking my bank?

I have a 5.1 with Bowers & wilkens 705 bookshelf Speakers in the front. In Ceiling Proficient in rear. I do not remember the model, but the higher end ones for home theater. A denon avr 2312 to drive them. I was wondering how to get great sound out of these beautiful speakers without breaking...

The flexibility is ridiculous on some of these cables. Right? Thanks again. The cable worked well. It has a chipset inside it that corrects some common issues. I have not tried 3D.

I am going to run a 50 foot ethereal HDMI today and will try this first, but I will look into these, thanks. Have not heard of HD Base T units. I am using very high quality baluns, but some can go up to $700. I am using a $200. one. I want the least expensive balun or cable that works. I have...

Sorry, I am new to blogs. Good point. I will start looking at posting date.

It depends on how for your equipment is from your display, the type of gear, and your budget. HDMI can sometimes be expensive at more than 50' and when you switch thru an inexpensive receiver problems can compound. Over 50' you might consider a video balun which will run HDMI over 2 cat 6e.( I...

I am having issues with Snap Av binary HDMI extenders and denon avr 2113 & avr 1513. X-box switches thru 1513 and great picture. When I hook up Direct TV Gini DVR, DVR hangs up and has picture without full color. I will try a $200. Key digital balun and turn all auto video off. This is...
