#1 Yea thats a good one though sometimes its easier to pull teeth :D #2 Too time consuming and too much overhead for us but you are welcome to do this at your home and invite fellow forum members ;) #3 Small potatoes compared to search engine optimization which as you realized we are...

I would advise against using full range towers for rear speakers. You want the surround channels to be more diffuse and to envelop the listener NOT act like a point source with speakers sitting at ear level usually too close to the listener. Using multiple side/back speakers like a 7.1...

Good article, though I disagree with his assessment of midfi audio gear today vs yesterday. For $250 you can get a DVD player that has commendable CD playback, certainly much better than a 10 year old portable CD player. You can still buy a good two channel receiver or integrated amp. The...

Yes I agree this perception goes hand in hand with the Dumbing Down of Audio. People are into very accessible, non thought provoking music to casually listen too while they cook, clean, etc, but there still is a time and place for better things and you being a frequent member of this site, I am...

Nobody denies the convenience of these portable players for the applications you listed here. However, if this is the only exposure to music playback people subject them to, it lowers their standards and expectations of what audio is supposed to sound like. Although the home theater industry...

Man you are anal retentive :rolleyes: Thanks we fixed it.

All; This thread inspired me to write this article today: The Dumbing Down of Audio

I cancelled my XM subscription after 3 months of listening to it in my car. I couldn't handle the compression and digitialized sound of vocals. I prefer FM sound quality to XM any day!

Those are the terminations I ordered through Bluejeans on preterminated cables. They offer standard Banana and locking banana's which are depicted in the review.

No you need to re-read the graph and the stuff called text below it. I was showing the intersect point between DC resistance and the wire gauge curve so people can see it is equivalent to 10AWG resistance. The AC resistance graph is adjacent to that graph in the review and noted as such...

Sounds like you are using Volume control position to gauge how loudly the receiver plays. This has no indication on receiver loudness as all receivers use different scaling in their volume controls. Usually the one that has to be cranked higher has a more precise and more gradual volume...

It's not a spec issue, its a hardware issue and its NOT upgradeable in firmware. Geez All Channels Driven Test again. READ THE STICKY THREAD on that Topic. The Amp section in 1400 is no match for the DSP A1 nor should it be, the 1400 is nearly 1/3 the price and weight :rolleyes...

Cow Dung! :)

Oh you are, my friend..... Welcome to the website whose employees never sleep! :)

Full agreed. In addition to the standard outlets every 6ft, at least according to Florida electrical code, I ran 2 dedicated 20A outlets to each home theater for future expandability. In my main theater room I have one APC S15 running half my system plugged into one dedicated line and the...

Also go have a listen to other brands. There are alot of good speakers in their price class so keep your options open.

It will NOT pass 1080p.

That is sort of a trick question. Don't go solely by an amp rating for a power conditioner. It depends on what voltage it was rated at. For example, APC rates their conditioners at 120V, 12A = 1,440VA. They will work as low as 90V and sustain over 15A of current in that condition. My...
