    Gun Fight at the RLA corral coming soon

    You are right the CBM-170's are $328/pr. The speakers in the shootout would have fallen like dominos to this model in my opinion. Though at $278/pr. the Ascend HTM 200 would have fit nicely into this crop. Too bad it wasn't included. As suggested I would like to see a shootout with the M22's...

    Tweeter Drops Monster Cable from Retail Stores

    Noel Lee states, "With years of Monster training, the sales staff at Tweeter is excited about the brand and are extremely comfortable selling it. This has made Monster one of Tweeter's most profitable categories. I have to believe that the change was very emotional, especially considering the...

    warm or bright receivers.

    Sorry to interupt the debate, and pardon my pessimism on the subject but I'm guessing Frank would prefer a quick and dirty answer. So here it is...listen, learn what it is you like, and buy it...warm, bright or otherwise. After all the forum members here won't be listening to it, just you. Sorry...

    Who's got cable and who's got Direct/Dish

    I'm fed up with cable and satellite. They only seem interested in providing attractive packages to new customers, and dumping on their existing ones or trying to intice you to get other services with them so you can save 10 bucks on their ridiculous overall package prices. I decided to take the...

    Does your RX-V4600 run hot

    Sounds like most of the reasons you dislike it would not be a problem in my situation. My intention was to use either the 4600 or the 2600, as you mentioned, as a pre/pro. Thus, the fan would likely be left on auto in my setup, and power would be a non-issue. Also I would be using my universal...

    warm or bright receivers.

    The idea is to have a receiver that does NOT alter the source. The warm, bright receiver misconception thing keeps getting tossed out there. The fact is the source, room, speakers, and possibly even (poorly designed) interconnects have more to do with making something sound bright or warm...

    How to convert s-video to component

    Well...not entirely true there are A/V recievers out there that can convert the signal. So I suppose that it is possible to make the connection he is seeking to make. Admitedly, an untypical and expensive option.

    Does your RX-V4600 run hot

    Could you elaborate on what you disliked about the way the Yamaha sounded with your speakers? Just curious, since I'm considering getting this unit down the road.

    Center speaker above or below?

    My advice would be to use whichever position will most closely align the tweeter of the center channel to that of the left and right channels. This should provide the smoothest transition of the high frequencies between channels.

    HD reception???

    I can't say for sure if this your problem or not, but there are instances when your receiver can act strangely when the signal is too strong, yes too strong. In order to correct the problem you can use an attenuator which lowers the signal a few db allowing it to be received. I'm not sure where...

    Two part budget question

    I think it is important to view your system as ever growing. If you are in this hobby long enough you'll find that there will always be something you'd like to upgrade to, that's just how technology works. Rather than spending time trying to breakdown %s, work on finding components which have...

    Digital cameras

    Not to say that any of you fall in this category, but it has been my experience that people would rather buy a fancy expensive camera, and never really learn how to use it to its full potential. I bought a point and shoot Canon Powershot A20 2.1MP 4 years ago that can take better pics than most...

    Expert help required.

    You can get quality speaker cables for much less than the Audioquest (I would consider them a ripoff), I suggest 12 gauge Speaker King speaker wire from Parts Express, or something of similar quality. I would also agree that your room size wouldn't require an additional amp with the Rotel or...
