I am at the stage where I have my sub in a decent spot, and I have my speakers positioned in my room based on the space need for furniture, etc... My Denon receiver as an Auto EQ function with the mic, and it seems to smooth out the sound a little, but I haven't taken the time to really check...

I guess I am a tradionalist. I just like two normal speakers pointing at my head! *grin* I suppose the other types have their uses, but in my home theater, I use all direct radiating speakers, even for my surrounds.

Obviously, putting the sub in the right place to start with will give you the best result. However, it's not always possible to put the sub in the optimal room location due to other furniture, or openings in the room, or requirements from the spouse. An auto EQ function would probably be my...

Contest Question: If you win this contest, how will this amplifier be used? Describe what room it will be in (main listening room, secondary listening environment, dedicated two-channel room, etc), speakers/ electronics it will be paired with, any additional purchases you’ll make because of the...

http://www.old-fashioned-values.com/item.asp?n=ICARTA-IPOD-ROLL&k=ICARTA-IPOD-ROLL&sc=FRGL Yes, you can actually buy this thing online. Oddly enough, I actually have one of this company's card readers in my home PC. I think I should buy a different card reader now. Somehow my computer...

1. No, I didn't know that. 2. Umm, I have an Oppo DVD player with DVI and an HDMI converter. I don't think that counts. I have a Sony DVR with HDMI, and I use the component vid instead. I'll have to go for One but I don't use it...

You know how I know you are an audioholic? ...when you read that story and laugh for 5 minutes because you can see some of yourself in those two crazy guys... *laugh* Great Story Man! Thanks!

I work at my local Best Buy in the Home Theater department as a second job. I only work once a week, but the discount on DVDs and video game junk is worth it. :-) Anyway, we have been recently making a push to sell more theater installs, but really, Best Buy is ill equipped to do in home...

I think I'd have to say that a wood grain with a matte black color is best. My wife hates gloss black, as it makes the speakers stand out too much... I guess I don't care for them much, either. A matte black can blend with most decor, and works awesome in a home theater room when the lights...

I want good quality cable that will get the best possible signal to where it is supposed to go... Also, it is nice to have cool looking cable for bragging rights *grin*, but it isn't as important as the quality of the product. Lastly, I don't go for the esoteric cables, as they are all hype...

Go down low! If you are going for a home theater sub, I think that subsonic is the way to go. Really, you want it to be fairly accurate, but a some of that can be sacrificed for pure movie effect! You want to feel your explosions in the pit of your stomach! You can't really hear that low...

Contest Question: When evaluating a speaker, what is most important to you and why (examples: high-end response, mid-range clarity, bass performance, size, linearity, etc.). Well, to be honest with you, I have two people to consider when I am looking to buy a speaker. Yes, you guessed it...

1. Do you use your IPOD or MP3 in your main audio video system? I do NOT own a player. If I did, I wouldn't use it in the main A/V system. What kind of self respecting Audioholic listens to lossy compressed audio? *smirk* Actually, there is some research that suggests that lossy audio...

Demo DVDs I like to show off my system, so I go for: Elephant scene in LOTR: Return of the King Extended It has lots of cool subsonics when the feet smash down, etc... Attack on the Harbor Scene in Pearl Harbor Yeah, I know it is a little older, but it has great surround sound, and cool...

Sound should be priority number one... However, the look of the unit is important, too. My wife would never every allow an "ugly" speaker. Of course, for a home theater type setup, the looks may not be as important as a 2 channel setup. I watch movies in more in the dark. More often, I...

No SVS on the list? I see that you guys didn't pick any SVS subs for your winner. I am not sure if you tried this guy out: http://www.svsound.com/products-sub-box-10isd.cfm I have a larger SVS box sub for my place, and it is incredible. As such, I recommended that a friend try out their...

If you search google for a few of those phrases, you will find at least one other audio cable shop with the same FAQ. And it seems I have read exactly that same FAQ at one of the Snake Oil cable companies, but I can't remember which one off the top of my head. Anyway, they just copied the text...

<font color='#000000'>Dang!  You scared the crap out of me!  I was shocked to see you turn against all that you have proved to be true...  It's like a bullet to the head!   Ok, I am alright now...... *laugh*   *still laughing*</font>
