I have a question: did you compare the SVS PB10 NSD? I'm looking at the specs and it seems like the PB10 is cheaper and has better specs. I'm not putting down the ESW at all, but as you know Sub choices are pretty limited in Canada and so I was wondering how you made the decision to go with...

Here's a shot of my speaker wires. As you can see they're spot on. I built them. I certainly wouldn't mess them up. I think I'll exchange it for another and see if it subsides. Another thing could be my room and the fact that Yamaha's YPAO plain stinks compared to Pioneer's MCACC and my old...

That's not possible since I would've noticed it right away during auto setup. I checked again with the mic and the test tones come from the right speakers. Maybe I just have a bad receiver and requires an exchange.

As you can see from my room (link in sig), it's not big. I don't run the receiver above -18 - ever!!! At this volume it's plenty big from my 12x14 room. However, I noticed that during CD playing, the quality of the audio simply isn't that great. You can see that I use an old Sony DVD player...

Yes, please compare the Plus to the Ultra.

For me it's critical than the Projector isn't a DLP because my eyes and brain process color faster than the color wheels of even 6x DLPs.

Cool review. I wonder when Epson will release the 720UB with better blacks. You know it's coming. ;)

I can't stand any of the DSPs. I find them completely useless for anything with good audio (ie good DVDs and all Blu-rays). Where the DSPs are usable are on 2.0 dvds or burned DVDs to give a bit more "oomph" to the effect.

I think the new one looks CONSIDERABLY better than the Studio 1 - which, granted is an amazing speaker, looks bland. The Studio 2s look like how speakers should!!

They look sweet!! I am so jealous!

That looks beautiful. But I'm more than pleased with my Energy RCs. :D

Yea, you can't go any higher on the S10 without choking off the bass.

Ok, I don't have an SPL meter. Is there a "ballpark" figure for where the Sub's DBL needs to be in regards to the other speakers? For example, with my Energy S10.3's volume 1/2 way, the YPAO auto setup set my mains and surrounds at 1.5+DBL and my sub at -2.0DBL. It didn't seem to have...

This is a question you ask before buying the DVD. The DTS MA track on Blu-ray is phenominal, especially the panning of bullets!

ffff The execs at Toshiba should really play this game. Seriously, have they done anything of significance in the Consumer Electronics industry in the past 5-6 years? HD DVD = Dead SED = Dead Their electronics have some of the highest defective rates among the major...

There's a very simple way to check what the PS3 is decoding by hitting the "select" button to bring the Bitrate meter.

My advice to anyone, not just to Speakerman, is that you have something to keep you grounded. My work was my saviour. It kept me busy and not make me go crazy thinking about it all day long. One of my Aunt had stomach cancer. That same year her husband (who basically raised me because my dad...

I'd rather pay extra for a SVS than wait 4-5 months after ordering a MFW15. I think there were some people on AVS who have been waiting months.

I'll give you a basic idea right now. The Pioneer 918 seemed louder (keep in mind, this is just using the auto mic setup with minor manual adjustments on both receivers: ie. YPAO and MCACC). The Yamaha seems smoother, ie, less harsh when pushed. Could be because the Yamaha may have more...

I decided to exchange the Pioneer 918 for the Yamaha 6160 before my 30 day exchange window was up. Best Buy in Canada has a sale and I basically got it for the same price as the 918. Powerwise, they seem to be similar. But the Yamaha has Pre-outs which I may use in the future. Plus, the...
