    JBL Vintage Speaker Restoration Done Right by Simply Speakers

    Where did you come up with $15? The service they did on my speakers was slightly under $90 for everything. L65s are a classic. I haven't seen those in quite some time. I bet they are quite good performers. Try emailing Sean the owner at: info@simplyspeakers.com He is usually very...

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    What is he talking about? Bridging the amp would guarantee its balanced from input to output! Also giving this amp a 5/5 for value is a bit too kind IMO. It's a great amp but on the pricey side for sure. Few if any processors on the market today, regardless of price, can touch this baby...

    Ram Electronics HS Speaker Cable Review

    Very similar. Your choice should be based on price and aesthetics between the two.

    Your thoughts on Transformers 2?

    Are you serious? As much as I loved G1 Transformers, there was so many plot holes in the storyline that I could write a thesis on it. Of course I don't want to show how geeky I am knowing all of this 20 years later :)

    Your thoughts on Transformers 2?

    I finally took the plunge to go see Transformers 2 this weekend on the big screen. In fact, I chose an IMAX theater which was absolutely state of the art in audio and video but was a bit too loud for my wife and myself at times. We caught an 11pm show and I was shocked to see people bringing...

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    2CH Direct is a pure analog bypass for the main channels but with simultaneous parallel ADC to D/A coversion for the sub channels. From my tests, the only time the AVP would convert an analog signal to digital for the main channels was if you use bass management or engage in a DSP mode.

    Tort reform should be a high priority but you never hear politicians on either side discussing this.

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    Hmm not sure if you can reassign the balanced ins for phono. I will inquire.

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    Unfortunately when you use the 3 sub L/R/LFE sub mode, your LFE sub will NOT reproduce bass for 2CH sources. Not sure if thats important to you or not but when placing multi subs in a room, you usually want all of them active and playing the same signal all the time to achieve the full benefits...

    Crisis What Crisis

    As it stands now, i pay around $12k/year to insure my family as I am a small business owner and don't have the benefit of employee insurance from a large corporation. For this amount of coin, we have no dental or optical insurance and we each have $500 deductibles on our health care + $500...

    Why pay $1000? What's the value in speakers...

    Agreed, I am still stuck on calling them G35/M35 :) I wish those cars got better gas mileage. I chose an Acura TL Type S over a G37 for that very reason as the 7speed G37 wasn't out yet and the current G35 was a gas hog.

    Why pay $1000? What's the value in speakers...

    You've obviously never driven a $100k Mercedes :) The Camry is a nice car but the driving experience between the two aren't even comparable, even for a casual driver. That being said, I'd probably still get the Camry b/c its higher reliability, cheaper maintenance and lower cost and use my...

    KRK Rokit Powered 6/10s Speaker System Review

    Yes good nearfield monitors are deliberately designed for that purpose. They usually taper off the highs a bit so they aren't overbearing. The crossover is usually tweaked per this type of application.

    TSC ASW-8 subs

    My exact impression when I reviewed this unit. The performance/price ratio is off the charts on this little baby. I suggest 2 if you've got the space as I am sure most have the budget for a pair of them.

    Going to 7.1-Channel Surround Sound

    I do prefer 7.1 (with surround backs) over 5.1 for one very good reason: PLIIx Music Mode. I think it sounds alot better than ordinary PLII in 5.1. That being said, I also love front height channels but they are impractical in most rooms especially when your front speakers are already 6ft...

    Snell LCR7 XL 30th Anniversary Bookshelf Speaker

    The MBS-01 was faced off against the Decimos at Dave Phares G2G last year. It wasn't even a close match. The special edition x-ls speaker from AV123 was much more balanced sounding to the panel of listeners than the MBs-01s and was quite a performer for its asking price. I plan on getting...
