    Outlaw 770 Seven- Channel Amplifier

    Where do they manage to stuff all the caps? I've looked at the 755 on their site & have always wondered because, from the pictures of the unit, it doesn't look like there's any room.

    Any horror stories, please share them

    I have a good rapport with a salesman at a store much closer to me & have been the beneficiary of some "unadvertised specials". Unfortunately, that store does not carry what I was looking for. Perhaps I was hasty in assuming that any A/V store would negotiate prices just because the one that I...

    Geez.........what's with the scrutiny? I also never mentioned that I talked with him for 1 min., 4 mins., 12 mins., etc. I quote, "Some conversation takes place"............ Used that to skip ahead to the relevant part of the story. Forgive me for not being specific. Was just trying...

    Any horror stories, please share them

    Where did I mention 30, 60, or 90 seconds? I cut to the chase. I had about a 20 minute discussion with the kid about the other products they carry (not just speakers), other speakers I have heard & was considering, where I was going with my system in the long run, etc..........He was...

    Any horror stories, please share them

    About a year ago I was looking for some speakers. I originally budgeted about $1000 for just some towers but was open to spending more if something knocked my socks off (big tax return). I was impressed by the rave reviews given to both the Axiom & Paradigm Studio lines, however my only chance...

    Yamaha Reciever with "Presence" option

    I tried it for a bit on my RX-V3300 & it was OK. I wouldn't spend a lot on speakers for that purpose. If you can get some sat's or cubes that match your mains w/o spending a bunch then it might be something to consider.

    Round Two: Pioneer VSX-AX3 vs. Yamaha RX-V650

    If it is the equivilent to the 53TX then it is a class above the 650........literally. To make a fair comparison you should compare it to the Yamaha 2500. If these are your only 2 choices then, yes, the Pioneer gives you more features & power, hence the price difference. I don't know the...

    Thoughts/Opinions on Martin Logans

    I'd love to get some ML's. They have 3 or 4 diff models of them @ the Magnolia in my area & I've always thought they were fabulous. Some issues with them are: They are picky with placement. You need to have room (2-3 feet) between them & the back wall. They have a very small sweet spot...

    Speaking of Velodyne....

    Sorry 20K..............Thank you! I've been looking for a decent 12" sub with decent power w/o spending more than $400-$500 & this certainly meets all criteria.

    strange video upconversion question....

    I seriously doubt "processing" the signal that much will make it look better, but you can try it & see for yourself.

    Please describe *Bright *Warm *Neutral sounds

    In a nutshell................... .....bright would mean an emphasis on the higher frequencies....warm would be the opposite, also referred to as "laid back"........& neutral, of course would be a good balance. You'll no doubt eventually hear the word "sibilant", which basically refers to an...

    Digital Video Essentials: Hard to Use

    I found it a bit confusing at 1st myself as it ran through the initial stage quickly. After watching it a couple times (as someone suggested) I was able to make the adjustments with confidence. It is a striking difference when you're done & it takes a bit of getting used to. But I found I...

    Audio Differences

    You may want to check the setup menu on the DVD player. See if the output is PCM or bitstream.............bitstream will give you DD 5.1 surround while PCM won't. In fact, just go thru the menu & check all the settings, if for no other reason then just to familiarize yourself with it. There's...

    Axiom vs Aperion?

    I have a pair of Axiom M60's & am very pleased with them. Are they the best speakers I've heard? No, but for $800 I could not be happier. They are clear & revealing. I was originally driving them with just my Yamaha 3300 receiver & I could see how some might consider them bright. The bass just...

    The Movie going experience

    I still enjoy seeing an action flick on the theatre screen but the prices are starting to chill me: $18 for my 2 kids & I plus $11 for one large popcorn & 1 large pop...........................insane. The new 55" Mitsu. should make the HT experience much better vs my 32"...

    DENON AVR-5803 or Yamaha RX-Z9

    I doubt you could go wrong with either unit. They're both tanks from what I've seen & heard. I'll throw a wrench in the works & suggest you listen to the B&K AVR-507 if you can. An excellent piece of gear that you may actually get cheaper.........................speaking of which, that may be a...

    power upgrade

    As far as the Pioneer shutting down, I think the ML's are 6 ohm speakers & believe the impedance can drop way down on those at times. B&K makes some fine,affordable amps. Have heard good things about Outlaw amps. There is also a review on this site about an Aragon 5-ch amp that you may want...
