I had these speakers years ago, when they were on sale for around $500. For that price, they were the bargain of the century. I think they still hold their own against any similarly sized bookshelf speaker I can think of, even ones that cost a lot more. I think the fact they are sealed helped...

I think you got things a bit confused. There were actually four 2.1 systems with Millenia in its name MilleniaOne Sat with their separate 300W flat MilleniaSub. I believe they never offered this as a complete bundle (?). These are lifestyle speakers meant for a high end lifestyle setup to be...

definitely PBC's review, one of the most thorough reviews I've ever read.

Trust me, it gets HOT. It measures well over 125 degrees in the enclosure playing music at low volumes. Most of my other receivers activate their fans long before that. I'm wondering why Onkyo wasn't more aggressive in their fan threshold.

That looks cool just because of the aluminum enclosure. I think it's a bit pricey but if you actually need something that small, I guess this is as good as they get for an ultrasmall sub. I think there is something inherent cool about subs that are small and very high quality. I bought a...

I hope other people read this and come to the realization you did (thanks to this review). There are no absolutes in the audio world. My observations: ID brands are not always a better value than B&M brands sonically. Price only loosely correlates to sound quality when comparing brands...

I have an 875 but was actually wondering why they didn't put any fans, but this review pointed out there are fans in the unit. It's weird that it still gets as hot as it does (upper right quadrant) and the fans still don't come on.

I'm kind of surprised that you aren't getting more extension in your room with your SVS duo. I EQ'ed my sub flat but I think I prefer to run it a bit hot and end up using the contouring curves for movies. I also tried to do a bit of "manual" averaging for a couple of listening positions. I found...

QC2 I MUCH prefer around the ear designs. Way more comfortable.

I agree about the sound card issue. An external soundcard is often the best way to go for best sound. If you are used to and like the sound of your Atoms, then most speakers that have a different sound signature will sound a bit foreign. Some B&W's tend to be brighter sounding, and thus will...

Egad. I don't know what to say if you think Atoms sound better than the 805's. Maybe the speakers are just worn out, damaged? The 805's were good sounding speakers, and should still be considered good against any mid priced bookshelf speaker just going by when I heard them a long time...

Of course, in this forum, most people seem to think that all amps sound the same, few people are going to recommend the NAD over a Denon. Anyway, I've seen the NAD for much less than $799 so it's no wonder you think it's poor value. I have owned NAD in the past, and the sound quality was top...

The newest upper Onkyos (875/905) also go beyond simple HDMI switching and HD audio decoding, they can also improve your picture too with the latest HQV Reon video processor (should beat most internal processors and rivals some standalone ones)

Come on man, get your priorities straight, you want an Explorer 2

The AKG's have a brighter, flatter sound to them. Coming from HD580 you might find their bass to be more lightweight. Sennheisers on a whole sound a lot more warm and thick in the midbass.

yes, you can theoretically use the t-amp as a headphone amp but the problem is, the modest t-amp is likely too powerful. Typical portable device headphone jacks only put out a very moderate power (dozens of milliwatts), and if you are not careful, you can damage the headphone unless you have...

Bad acoustics and bad setup can ruin the sound of even a $10000 sub. There is no doubt that this was a setup and/or acoustics issue.

I would go for the RS-140's, but you really should consider wired ones if you want the best quality sound. There is a lot more choice and you'll generally get a lot better sound overall.

That's not a good test, even with a well shielded speaker, a compass will be affected somewhat a couple of feet away, because compasses are extremely sensitive devices (at least the good quality ones I own) However, I definitely would not be worried about putting them near a computer system...

He may not need to split it. On some subs, if you connect one of the two inputs, the sub will split the two channels for you.
