Would a pair of SVS SB2000's be a good upgrade from a pair of Def Tech ProSub 800's? Room is approx 23x15 with 9 foot ceiling

Was cleaning out the closets and found this paper from 1945 about FDR's death. I suppose the typesetter was in mourning that day and didn't have Siri to aid spelling the big headline. See if you can catch the error.

Do you own, or have auditioned, the KEF Egg computer speakers? Thinking of replacing my Bowers & Wilkins MM1's .

Anyone listen to Net Radio on their Yamaha receiver? Occasionally I do on my RX-A1020 and the sound seems 'jittery' or like it's coming from underwater. I'm assuming it's due to my Internet provider and NOT my Yamaha. It's not wi-fi. Using NETWORK jack from AVR to NetGear switch to router...

While reading a little about music on the web, found this 1964ish photo of TV impresario Ed Sullivan with The Beatles. Notice who's shoulders Ed has his arms around. The 2 deceased Beatles!

Over the last several years I've ordered a lot of things from Amazon, usually with success. Now all of a sudden they can't seem to find my location, I know the west coast will probably fall into the Pacific Ocean at some unspecified moment but come on, I've lived in the same crappy place since...

I'd like to listen to wireless headphones (music & movies) on my Yamaha RX-A1020, this AVR does not provide bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Is there an adapter which I can plug into the headphone jack or other output, then into a bluetooth transmitter to send sound to bluetooth headphones? Another option is...

Were you a "victim" of an April fool joke this past Monday? Checking my e-mail I received one from Yamaha, a clever advertisement for their MusicCast system. They were coming out with a "new" product, an 8-track tape player called TRACK 8. :p

I sometimes see ads with a product being called 'our reference speaker, receiver, etc. ' Are they trying to say it's the best of the best of the best?

It seems gas stations have entered the 21st Century in that the marquee out from is LCD / LED and the station can easily change the price of gas for the cars driving by. My local multi-plex theatre still has the old fashioned kind were someone has to climb a ladder and manually change the name...

Is it possible to connect a turntable to a sound bar?

Sometimes my blu-ray player will "freeze up" after a few minutes when playing a Blu-ray Disc, but not all the time. It only happens after I've played a DVD disc! The player will not respond to remote control or front panel buttons, I have to remove / reinsert the power cord ("cold boot" it, I...

Do you have an AVR with a discrete subwoofer output feature, I'm wondering if it's a good reason to upgrade from my Yamaha RX-A1020 to one of their newest models, or a Denon/Marantz. Or maybe save some $$$ and upgrade my subs? My system is below in the signature. Current subs: Two of these...

Just wondering if cables (HDMI, RCA, TosLink) from different makers are more efficient than others. The last couple of months my electric company sends me a letter complaining I'm using more power (390 kWh between May 3 - Jun 1, 2018) than my 'efficient' neighbors within a one mile radius! Heck...

Hi fellow Audioholics! Time to do some 'spring cleaning' and I'm thinking of moving my AVR to the top shelf, it will then be closer to the left speaker, will that cause a hum or other noise problem?

I began noticing a floor standing lamp would very briefly flicker when I powered on my AV system. I removed the power cord of the Yamaha RX-A1020 AVR from the Panamax M5300-PM and plugged it directly into another wall socket on a different wall (not into a power strip). No more flicker, but am I...

Hello, I'm considering "upgrading" my two subs and found this from JL Audio, but wonder if it's too much sub for my room. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_136E112ASH/JL-Audio-E-Sub-e112-Black-Ash.html JL Audio E-Sub e112 1500 watts, 12" woofer 21-120 Hz (-3db) my current subs: two Definitive...
