    Final system question

    There are a lot of caveats to that. Have you ever heard of a consumer actually collecting on such a warranty? I haven't personally and I know many people whose equipment that was attached to a similar surge protector with warranty was fried and not covered.

    The database for the new site was copied 2 weeks ago. So any articles newer than that wont redirect since they don't yet exist on the new site. That will all change the moment we flip the switch which I am hoping will be by this weekend. thx.

    Best pair of speakers around $1K with solid state Yamaha AVR?

    I love it when we have fellow Looney Tunes fans posting on this forum. As Bugs Bunny used to say "one's man's meat is another mans poison". This is a very appropriate comment relating to loudspeakers and people's preferences. This article should help you narrow down your choices. Note that...

    Audioholics 2012 GTG Show Report

    The show we had planned for this year was at a very upscale location and many of the sponsors weren't ready to commit in time making it a financially risky proposition for us so we decided to cancel for this year. We will be doing another show next year at a more economical place and look...

    Need more Bass? Use "Extra Bass" feature in your AV Receiver.

    Great post! That is exactly what I am doing in my theater room. I run the Status 8Ts fullrange with no DSP or bass management. My processor is set to "no sub" so all of the summed bass + LFE goes to the front speakers. I then use the L/R preamp outs to connect to my Velodyne DD-15+ subs. I...

    Upgrading The Crossovers in My Polk Monitor 10B's

    Our 2013 Consumer Excellence Award Winners Revealed!

    Again this is a paid entry award program, EXACTLY like the print magazines do. If you don't enter, you're not a contestant. Also the RBH will likely have more output than the funk since it's got 2 dual 12" drivers in a ported enclosure. Josh will be getting a sample in about 1 month. Andrew...
