    When to Add External Amplification to an A/V Receiver

    Should I Use my External Amps with My Receiver? I have a Yamaha RX-A2030 - 140 wpc... But at 9 channels driven, probably closer to 70? I'm running NHT Absolute Towers as my Mains. I have 3 Emotiva XPA-100 (250 wpc and 32db Gain) that I was going to hook up to my Fronts and Center. Should I...

    Need tips on setting up L & R speakers to get good phantom center.

    Everything written above is correct. If you do not have a Center Channel Speaker then the best you can is to put the speakers equal distances from the sides of the TV and they should be around 70% of the distance you sit from the screen apart... If you sit 10 feet from the screen, the speakers...

    Crossover help

    Yeah, those crossover points have nothing to do with Auto Calibration... in fact, those are the fixed Specs of your speakers' internal crossovers ... those are the crossover points inside the speakers themselves.

    TV / AVR network connections

    Totally Agree with what has been said above... there are also more inexpensive streaming devices that can stream through your TV, like a Roku Stick, etc... You could listen to music from that, but you'd have to check their music apps on Roku's website to see if there is one you would like. Just...

    Newbie. Where can I find lists of everything good there is?

    This is great advice above, and I completely agree with that as your first steps. There some great stuff out there for computer audio now - I personally like NHT's offerings, and there are many others. Just figure out what you want to accomplish from the standpoints quoted above, and then...

    plasma tv question...

    I have a Panasonic GT50, and I love it - it's my second Plasma by Panasonic. I do not like the sharpness of LED pictures... I like the warmth of Plasma's. I use to worry about burn in, but with today's Plasma's I just stay vigilant as to not pause for to long, not keep black bars on the screen...

    New House- getting pre wired...in ceiling, in wall? Clueless

    If I may... what is the purpose of the conduit... do you mean if run in wall/crawl space, etc... I'm looking to relocate where my equipment is, does this mean, rather than moving the wires (or extending them), that I should do so inside conduit for my in wall/crawl space rerouting? Also, metal...

    What's a good, all around, affordable headphone?

    I like the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's for a closed design. I think they're a little more comfortable than the 280's, and sound a little better in the midrange. Good luck!

    Yamaha RX-V377 Receiver Preview

    Definitely a nice Spec'd and priced unit for a bedroom or kitchen type system. Could certainly be a dedicated home theater receiver, providing one has effecient speakers and doesn't require more i/o's.

    Compact bedroom/office system (<$200)

    I agree with the Yamaha unit. Although, I would always suggest looking at your local Craigslist and seeing if you can put together anything decent under your price range. I know CL can be hit and miss, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    Have a strange where do I plug this in question

    I would plug them both in to the Belkin. Though, converting to a Dual Gang/4 Receptacle at the wall would be good too, if you feel confident in your abilities to do home electrical wiring. However, seeing as though you have a decent Belkin Surge Protector - I would try that first and see if it...

    Help Choosing Between Dayton Ultimax or Titanic MK IV

    I am looking to buy a couple new 12" subwoofers. I already have 2 12" Dayton Reference HF Subwoofers, but am looking to do a sealed (or ported - still undecided, and the driver choice will majorly dictate that) subwoofer with either the Ultimax or the new Titanic MK IV. Does anyone have any...
