Funny how most of the picks in this thread center around rock guitarists. Don't you guys have a wider diversity of music preferences? don't get me wrong as some of my favorite music is Rock, but everyone knows the most talented musicians are in Jazz not rock or pop.

I hear you. I used to own both UK albums on Vinyl. I recently purchased them on CD and was very disappointed. I won't play these CDs on my home system so they stay in the car.

It all depends on your budget and how LARGE of a sub(s) you can live with. If you want small potent subs, go with Velodyne DD series, particularly DD12s or 15's but they aren't cheap. If you can wait a bit, RBH will be introducing new subs that I feel will be a quantum leap for them...

I recommend going with the MC-6Cs or preferrably the MC-616C's and a sub over the MC-6C Towers any day of the week, especially if you are doing home theater.

Haha you sound a lot like me back when I worked as an Engineer for the corporate world. I wrote most of my cable articles at that job. Perhaps it was my misery at work than made me such a cynic. Now that I work for myself, I am not writing as many cable articles. Hmmm...... :rolleyes...

Looks like a nice product line. Scan Speak makes some of the best tweeters in the world and this new design looks most impressive. It is certainly NOT an inexpensive tweeter I can tell you that. Peerless drivers have been getting better over the years so there seems to be some good...

Actually it was Clint that did that test, not me. I can tell you however that I have played several HD discs for family members and nobody has really noticed much of a difference. Of course for true diehards like us... well, thats another story ;)

About the only saving grace I can think of for Hi Def formats is that no matter how readily available HD content becomes via cable/satellite providers, or streams off the net, people will still want authentic hard copies of their A/V software. There is something to be said about owning a disc...

Of course he wants to sell you Rotel. Rotel and B&W are part of the same company. Salesmen, geesh :rolleyes:

This is only true if you choose a crappy power conditioner that uses a variac to regulate the voltage. Believe it or not some of the BIG brand power conditioners still do this. If you choose a reputable conditioner from the likes of APC for example, this will NEVER be an issue. Check out...

As an XBOX 360 owner, I will never buy another Microsoft gaming console again. I and most of my friends and peers have had too many reliability issues with this platform. Also, one particular game I have - Star Trek Legacy, is far too buggy. This is unacceptable from any modern gaming system...

You are really giving this too much thought. There is nothing wrong with using different impedance rated speakers in your system. Most RBH speakers are a relatively easy load to drive with a decent amp or high end receiver. For front effect channels, get something cheaper as they are not...

Darn and i was about to turn off all 4 of my subwoofers and just redirect the bass into the center channel. :D

It looks like Genesis has redeemed themselves. Take a look at these videos from their first concert last night: http://youtube.com/results?search_query=genesis+helsinki Pretty awesome! Now I feel bad about writing that VH1 editorial :o

HTHolic; Not sure if you read my review on the RBH Signature SE/R system: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/bookshelf/rbh-sound-signature-se-r As an alternative, especially within a budget, I recently did an install with the following: 3 x 441-SE's 2 x 44-SE's 2 x 41-SE's 2...

If your going with RBH, I recommend the following to stay within your budget: 3 661-SE/R or SE's up front 2 44-SE's for the sides and 2 41-SE's for the back channels If you can afford to upgrade the surrounds, goto the 66-SE's and 61-SE's, respectively. Save your money and get 1 or...

Agreed 100% Have you seen our articles about Dumbing Down and Compression in music?

Huh? Genesis is one of the best live bands in rock history musically IMO. During the late 70s they really peaked musically with Hackett on guitars, Bruford/Phil/Chester on drums, etc. Listen to Seconds Out and then tell me their heart wasn't in their performance. Very few bands in rock can...

Ok here is my opinion on this subject: The Original Series: It was cool, and innovative and the characters were classic, but many of the episodes don't stand the test of time. Too much hippie stuff ruined many of the episodes. The movies were great, most notably STII, IV, and VI Next...

The face off review will be very similar to how Ray did our last one though this one will be conducted by a panel of 3 listeners and all speakers will be measured. Ascends is shipping us a pair of speakers next week.
