    Bought an Outlaw Model 5000 (boy is it heavy!)

    I purchased a B-stock Outlaw Audio Model 5000 as a trial to mate with my Marantz SR6012. The intent was to run my main 5 channels with it and run the 2 Atmos speakers off the receiver. The weight of the box from FedEx was heavier than I expected. Unboxed, you lift this thing and you KNOW you...

    Should I sell my amp or keep and use it????

    I previously had a Denon AVR-X4200W and, with a 7.1.2 system, I needed an external amp to power it all so I purchased the Onkyo M-5010 to power the overhead speakers. I've since upgraded to the Marantz SR6012 with enough power to process all 9 speaker channels. I'm not sure what the SR6012...

    Do you use subwoofers when listening in 2-channel?

    I'm trying to decide if audiophiles listen to 2 channel or 2.1 channel. What say you? I do prefer the "Pure Direct" mode setting on my amp.

    Need opinions on locating my left surround speaker

    If I mount my left surround speaker on the wall (below where it's currently sitting) it will not be at the right height per Dolby's specs. Should I keep it sitting on the ledge or not? Please see photos https://www.dropbox.com/s/ilayujno74le1rr/P4280107.jpg?dl=0...

    (2) SVS PC-2000 or (2) SVS SB-13 Ultras?

    I'm trying to decide on which would be better. I've seen the threads on the PC-13 vs the SB-13 but what about the PC-2000 vs the SB-13? Anyone have thoughts?

    Connecting the AVR-X4200W to an external amp

    I'm considering hooking up my Denon AVR-X4200W to an Outlaw Audio Model 5000. I would use the Outlaw for the traditional 5 channel surround and the amp on the Denon for two height channels. Is this even possible with this receiver? I cannot figure that out from the manual.

    Question about connecting two Airport Extremes

    So here's my setup... Upstairs in my north-eastern most room sits my cable modem and Airport Extreme. I thought I was having connection issues so I bought a second Airport Extreme and placed it in my bedroom which is downstairs in the south-western most room. Someone said that I should move the...

    Mystery Solved (Elac Uni-Fi vs SVS Ultra)

    I just received a set of the SVS Ultra bookshelf speakers to compare against my Elac UF5s. After about an hour of listening, I've determined that the Ultras are spacious in sound and neutral while my UF5s sound warm but muffled in comparison. I'll be keeping the Ultras and selling my UF5s and...

    ARC Question. How do you use it?

    I'm still new to ARC but form what I understand, ARC works best when everything is connected to the TV via HDMI and not the receiver. Is this correct? I'd rather have it all going through the receiver.

    Connected my Vizio P65-C1 today

    initial impressions....Wow! This is not an OLED but the blacks are incredible. Previous television was a 50" Panasonic plasma. I can totally see the difference in UHD movies. Specifically, look at Tales by Light in Netflix. It's stunning! drawbacks, the software is not crisp. There is quite a...

    Looking to upgrade my television

    Hello all. Now that my audio system upgrade is complete I'm looking to upgrade my television. What I'm looking at is the LG 65UH7700 because of 4K and Dolby Vision. Any thoughts out there on this television? Any others I should consider? My budget is about $1400.00. Looking to purchase about the...

    I may be the only one in the history of the world that does this but...

    I'm thinking of exchanging my PB-2000 for a PB-1000. The PB-2000 sounds absolutely awesome but the problem is the size. Holy crap it's big! I think the PB-1000 looks more normal in my setup. Am I off my rocker?

    Outlaw Audio LFM-1

    Good solid physical condition with no exterior damage or broken parts. Subwoofer powers on and is in excellent condition. I have owned this for over a decade. Again, works great! Selling to upgrade. The LFM-1 provides deep, tight, bass extension that's powerful enough to meet the most demanding...

    Are my rear speakers too high?

    I was worried about my rears being too high. Dolby recommends 1-2 feet above ear level and 90-110 degrees. They are currently higher and further back than recommended. I can place them lower than they currently are. The listeners left speaker near the kitchen can be placed on the ledge (where my...

    Outlaw Audio LFM-1

    Is this still a good subwoofer? I'm looking at replacing my subs but if I only replace my Velodyne, that'll be a big help. I'm looking at either the SVS SB-1000 or PB-1000. If I keep the LFM-1 then I think the PB-1000 will be a good companion. Thoughts? My room is about 1440 cu.ft. and opens up...

    Going to mix brands in a 5.1.2 system, Do you see this as an issue

    Decided to swap my Klipsch system with Elacs in my home theater. Going to have the Uni-fi (UC5, UF5s) up front the the NHT SuperZeros in rear. Thought about the Elac B4's in rear but didn't want to go with them on the wall because of the size. Do you think the super zeros will mate well are rear...

    I hear the difference

    Today I bought a Sonos ZP100 on Craigslist for $300. Paired it up with a set of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR bookshelf speakers $90 at Best Buy. As I'm listening to Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" I think I can understand why audiophiles don't like Klipsch. I have a 7.2 system that consists of mainly Klipsch...
