Crunchy as in the sound you get when eating Captain Crunch cereal? :) You need to be more specific so folks can help understand your situation. Also, if you haven't done so already, turn off YPAO.

Thanks guys. So where is a good place to buy them? Amazon seems pricey. I'd love to at least pick up Selling England by the Pound and Trespass.

Its called a D'Appolito driver alingment MTM vertical arrangement on top with 3 bass drivers below. Atlantic Tech and many others have been doing this for years. I just found out about this model today as well which looks like it will be their flagship product, NOT a replacement to their...

Step 1: Turn off YPAO Step 2: Check your levels with an SPL meter Step 3: Re-evaluate

Yea I thought about using that but since I pay bills, I will reserve slumlords to our members :D

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home...

Mike; so the sound quality on the 70-75 era is better than the 76-80s era? If so, I may pick up a few. thanks.

Saw the movie last week at a 3-D IMAX theater. The experience was incredible. This is truly a benchmark film that others will attempt to equal. Despite its mediocre cast and story, the wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

LFE trim has nothing to do with Dynamic EQ. I am also in agreement with Tom's findings. On most recordings Dynamic EQ tends to over boost bass. I find it useful when listening to 80s style rock music however which tends to be void of bass.

I wouldn't assume the SVS is a better speaker than the EF30Ts. The EF30Ts are quite the performer, just not much of a looker hence why they were phased out. In many ways they outperform the new E5ti tower but the E5ti is much more wife friendly. I'd jump on the EF30s at that price if you...

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope yours was a wonderful one. I thank the man upstairs for all of the fortunes bestowed upon us even in these troubled times. Its such a wonderful experience to relive the Christmas experience through your children's eyes. Now that the kids are all snug in...

B/C these were in-room measurements at the listening position which would look terrible if 1/2th oct res was chosen. 1/4th is more like how we hear as we are mostly concerned with low Q dips and bumps. After XMAS I will redo these measurements outdoors and in closer proximity with more...

Not sure about their current prices but I would guess its around $900-1500/ea depending on finish. The -10dB dip is likely a room anomaly. After XMAS I plan on retaking these measurements outdoors to eliminate the room as much as possible. I suspect the lobing will show up more in this...

Tungsten; You're Hired!

Rhapsody sound quality is really poor. You should use Pandora.com which streams for free to your PC or Samsung Blu-ray player. The only downside is you can't play a particular song at any time. The sound quality is as close to CD as I've ever heard from any streaming service however. I am...

It could be the music sources you are using. Older CD's are usually very bass anemic. If you have your main speakers set to "large" and sub to "no" you should be ok. Turn off the auto EQ and make sure your tone controls are set to bypass or flat. Also check the polarity of your speakers to...

Maybe you have the subwoofer out disables for two channel music. There should be a setting in the bass management that allows for sub out even if the main speakers are set large. This is a common problem people face when playing back two channel sources. Also make sure you don't have "pure...

No and to be honest the brand equity probably isn't worth much given they were so short lived and didn't really have a signature look or feel b/c their products were all open tool and changed all the time. Damn I really miss that TSAT system. It was an insane value.

just_listening Great points. Again tSc was actually profitable from what I understand. The problem is some of their other brands need more attention so I believe they are refocusing their efforts there.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can confirm this is true. Apparently the folks at D&M considered it to be too small an operation to keep going. They are focusing more on their higher margin brands instead. It's a real shame as I was writing up the 2009 POY awards I was going to give...
