    Guitar Amp Question

    Any Celestion 8 ohm speaker will work. Make sure the speaker size and wattage are comparable as well.

    Yamaha RX-V2700 and THX Certification??

    Any guess as to whether an amp like the Denon 2807 would pass THX certification? It sounds pretty good, but it's also very light. Most THX receivers I've seen are over 35lbs. The 2807 is around 27lbs I think.

    Yamaha RX-V2700 and THX Certification??

    I don't get it either. THX sells. If THX charges so much for the brand, then how can Pioneer put it on the 1016 and charge so little?

    Best Scary Movies - For Sound

    I saw Silent Hill on Blu Ray yesterday. I don't think there's any doubt that this is the best sounding track for horror flicks.

    Stick to 5.1 or move to 7.1 for small room?

    I have a small HT room. It's 9x10 feet. It's a projector setup with a 9 feet throw distance. My couch is about 8 1/2 feet from the screen. Now, I have a 5.1 setup, but I was wondering whether I would benefit from a 7.1 setup? I know Blu Ray has announced some 7.1 mixes, and I will get a...

    GLS Locking Banana Plugs: Is this a good choice?

    WOW! Yamaha 5960 slays my Pioneer 1015TX

    Umm, you're comparing apples and oranges. How old is the 992, 5 years, 6? Yamahas have gotten better over the years. I actually liked the drop door of the 1015, but sound is sound. My 5960 is better than the 1015 in every way, there's just no comparison. I don't consider the new Yamahas...

    Denon 3805 and Yamaha V1600 - Same price, new in box - which would you get?

    In terms of features, I'd love HDMI on the Yamaha, although the Denon might be a better receiver. I've heard the Yamaha and I know I would be happy with it. Never heard the 3805, but I have heard the 3806 and loved it. They are both $799can at a shop, and I have store credit with them so I...

    I don't know about the 1016, but I used to have a 1015. It was no contest. The 5960 did everything better.

    HDDVD vs BLUERAYDVD

    HDDVD came out really strong, with great looking and sounding titles. Blu Ray has the most studio support and is going to get stronger. New Blu Ray titles are looking great and will continue to improve. The PS3 juggernaut will entice studios to release more titles. If you can afford to...

    Yamaha RX-V659 Receiver Review!

    I'm just going by what I read from the audioholics review. I'm no techie. I'm just trying to make sense with some "real world" numbers. What does all this mean? The review wasn't very clear. I've seen Yamaha rate it at 100w/7channel, 115w/7 channel, and then saw Best Buy's description...

    Yamaha RX-V659 Receiver Review!

    Maybe I didn't read the tests right, but is the amp section of the 659 comparable to amps rated at 140w/channel specs at 8ohms?

    For BluRay, yes (Dolby HD), for games, they will use DD+ which is still amazing!
