In my experience, especially at the lower end of the price scale.... You pretty much get what you pay for. For $400 bucks for a pair of speakers.... there is more than likely less than $100 in TOTAL costs to manufacture them. That $100 won't go very far buying drivers, cross over parts...

First off, what is your over-all price range (yes.... I could have done the math myself, but I'm a little lazy this morning)? Second, I wouldn't worry about the NAD gear being underpowered. ESPECIALLY for a two channel system. Fifty watts is plenty. Ask the Yamaha guy why tube gear can be as...

Another thought comes to mind.... But, first, a question.... Do you already have your speakers and if so, are you able or willing to consider other options? Since the wall unit is yet to be constructed.... you could use high quality "in-wall" speakers.... then have the speaker "enclosures"...

To help minimize resonances, you could use some damping material under and around the speaker enclosure. Sorbathane comes to mind, but is very expensive. A roll of ICE & WATER SHIELD (smooth surfaced) used in roofing applications will work as well as sorbathane at a third of the cost. Of...

Three thoughts come to mind.... First, is there any way that a good wood worker could "modify" your entertainment center to accommodate a center channel shelf above the TV? You could "replace" the older entertainment center with something "designed" for todays HT equipment. There are many...

My first guess would be yes because it would be next to IMPOSSIBLE to get two that were exactly the same. Even if they were CLOSE and you discounted the differences, I think it would come down to which one then "looked" better. Even then.... you would have most likely a 50/50 split or...

Where do you have the crossover set? The sub may be trying to produce more sound than it is capable of.....

Xsound..... that was funny. Are you SURE it's just the caffeine causing this problem?!? :D

No, Tom.... Not SVS specifically. There is more than one manufacturer making cylindrical enclosures for subs. Again, I feel that in the designs that I have seen, I just can't imagine how the "tube" enclosure, which in the cases I have seen are basically SOME FORM of paper composit (yes, that's...

Man.... SOMEONE out there is using your very same screen name....278 posts by Sleestack on the AV123.com forum

Slee.... Didn't you already purchase ONIX Rockets or was it Reference speakers? Man.... your name looks familiar. I thought I recognized you from the av123 forum. Either way.... good luck in your search! :)

I quite agree markw..... Malakei.... I'm a bit confused.... do you want to stay with Digms for your mains or switch to the PSB Stratus line? I mean the Stratus "mini" monitors are like a GRAND per pair or something like that right? Obviously, it would be "cheaper" to stay in the Paradigm...

I have seen MANY, if not all of the AV123.com offerings over the last several years and I will say this.... they make FURNITURE grade cabinets. Their finishes, veneer work and over all "Fit and Finish" take a back seat to no one. In fact the AV123.com factory produces speaker "cabinets" for MANY...

Have you given up on the ULW-10 from av123.com? I believe it comes in several different veneer finishes all at the $399 price. Maybe one more "thing" to consider. Either way.... you won't go wrong with any of your choices. All four are great performers at their price point and will serve you...

4 Ohm isn't really that difficult of a load to drive if the speakers are fairly efficient, say 87 + dB. Especially if the 4 ohm rating is a minimum rating where the speaker rarely, if ever, dips below 4 ohms. Where it can get a little dicey is if it is an average of 4 Ohms where the speaker...

Ok Rob.... I'll concede the point. I just remember my very first "sub search" and was immediately enamoured with the SVS cylinders. All it took though was one look by the WAF..... and it was NO WAY JOSE.... LOL. I also concur that "tubes" can offer some advantages in some situations. What I...

It's funny.... when SVS first started and for a LONG time after.... they "stuck to their guns" louding and praising the advantages of the cylinder design and it's acoustical advantages (not to mention it was MUCH cheaper for them to build a cardboard cylinder than a real wood box) over...

Frist of all... congratulations on having a great dealer like that. There aren't too many around anymore, let alone any with generous trade in/up policies. Don't however, be so quick to judge trade in/up policies of some of the "on-line" companies. I cant's speak for all of them, but...

I'm quite sure the guys at www.av123.com would be MORE than happy to let you purchase 2 pair of the ELT's for the sale price of $129 per pair and then would make you a killer deal on a center and sub to complete your 5.1 system. Here is a link to the sale page...

I quite agree.
