    BAG END 3.1 HT or STUDIO SPEAKER SYSTEM

    Yes, but it is also a lot of speakers. And unless you live in South Florida, I have to ship and that is not cheap if done right. Are you just making a casual observation or do you have some level of interest?

    Avoid Abes of Maine - rip off

    VERY DELAYED UPDATE: The issue FULLY resolved itself I just realized I never fully updated this thread that I started. Abes ultimately sent me a fully working unit which has worked flawlessly for almost three years. Never once needed service so the extended warranty was pure margin for the...

    HELP: 7-ch stereo AVR to drive 5-zone audio?

    TLS Guy - this may sound like a really dumb question but how exactly are the signals paired at input? Do you combine the L and R "hots" and the respective commons so that you have a combined "hot" and common ground (well, they were common to begin with so, duh to me)? I realize this is a...

    HELP: 7-ch stereo AVR to drive 5-zone audio?

    bandphan - you are correct in that is the ideal solution and I have been scoping out ebay auctions for the SI-1230 and the Speakercraft equivalent (BB1235). Keen bidding can find one for $400 shipped. As stated earlier, I use a BB1235 distributing audio to the 1st floor (bought on ebay for...

    HELP: 7-ch stereo AVR to drive 5-zone audio?

    TLS Guy: Yes, ceiling speakers. When I was entertaining the dedicated multichannel amp, I was planning to run mono to all the speakers. In our downstairs living area I have a Speakercraft BB1235 that is powered by a SONOS unit and drives ten speakers in mono. As you are suggesting, no one...

    HELP: 7-ch stereo AVR to drive 5-zone audio?

    Sorry about the length - it takes a bit to explain. Several years ago I bought a Yamaha RX-V2500 for our home theater just before HDMI switching AVRs were introduced. I have used this with a HD-DVR and a Sami HDRPTV connecting the DVR & TV directly with a HDMI cable. This setup has worked...

    Can’t get iMac VGA 1920x1080 output on Samsung DLP ?

    I am a very happy owner of a Samsung HL-R6168w. Yesterday, we finally hooked up my kids’ iMac G5 to the 6168 via their respective VGA ports. We had no trouble getting the image to display at all 6168-supported resolutions up to 1280x1024 (at both 60 and 75Hz). However, we are unable to...

    Please help which cable company to go with

    BlueJeans for sure I recently completed a HT installation and used BlueJeans for all of the interconnects (I made my own StarQaud speaker cables). The quality of the construction is first rate, the folks there are very cooperative and the box appeared at the door step sooner than they said it...

    B4 drywall – what did I miss?

    One additional thought Don't forget on how you are going to power the plasma. If you are going to plug it directly in to the home's electrical system then you only need to have an outlet behind the plasma. However, if you plan to plug the plasma into a power conditioning unit then you have...

    B4 drywall – what did I miss?

    Lessons learned I found that no matter how well you plan things, you will inevitably forget some run of wire or another. Like IR repeaters or an extra cat-5. Depending on your set up with access, etc., you need to build in some redundancy or flexibility. By redundancy I mean running some...

    Hot Link X12 IR Repeater?

    We'll know in a couple of days! I placed the order over the weekend and should have the repeater by week's end. Ideally, I would like to have the sensor behind a grille cloth just to keep things clean. Everything I have read about most quality repeaters (Xantech, Buffalo, Hot Link) is that...

    HELP: Insulating speakers in cabinetry?

    Gene: I had read Ray's sub tips late last year when this project started and have applied all that I can. I hope a 12" 400watt sub is sufficient for the space. I also have two 18" versions of the BagEnd subs for my next HT project. Unfortunately, I could not use them in this room due to...

    HELP: Insulating speakers in cabinetry?

    Gene: Thanks for the suggestions. Part of my problem is that I am trying to anticipate problems I may not actually have. I need to finish making my speaker cables this weekend (pre-Christmas w/ 4 kids and wife...hmmmmmm). Once everything is connected, I will let the Yammie do its thing with...

    HELP: Insulating speakers in cabinetry?

    Summary: Need advice on sonically insulating/isolating speakers in a wall unit. I am in the process of finishing an A/V installation in a great room adjacent to our kitchen. The site is far from ideal but it is where the family spends much of our time so I have to make do. I have a space in...

    Hot Link X12 IR Repeater?

    Does anyone have experience with, or real-world knowledge of, the Hot Link X12 IR repeater? I am in the late stages of finishing my installation and need to get IR signals into the cabinetry (wife vetoed smoked glass doors). I have looked at Niles, Xantech and Buffalo and was leaning toward...

    Abes of Maine - update on original topic

    Redemption of Abes Well, I have finally put the soap box away. I arrived home this evening and examined the package from Abes. Contrary to my wife's initial thoughts, this was indeed a factory-sealed box complete with intact staples. :) All the plastic bags appeared to be unopened, the...
