I am currently using fine-stranded 10 gauge wire (because I had access to a ton of it after tearing out a Lucent switch & it was free) & I found it best to go with the BP's. Not many terminals handle 10 ga wire well. That being said, I doubt you'll need to go that big anyway. I certainly...

You don't mention which model Yamaha receiver you have but it's probably fine. I'm using my Yamaha the same way right now & it's great. All the features with better power supplies.

Yeah, I think you're on the right track. I went down this road a while ago. I have a couple old Optimus amps(250w per,in mono) that I plugged into my RX-V3300 & recognized a much improved volume & response per the receivers indicator. However, I added a B&K amp for the rears & could barely hear...

I may be a bit late for a response but if your remote has an "effect" button on it you can switch from any sound field to 2-ch stereo by using this button.................subwoofer will still work in this mode if you are using one.

Lots of good info on that site. I'll just add a couple things. A good idea is to put conduits in the wall through the stud down (or up, if you go through the crawl space) to close to where the outlet will be. Separate conduits for each application(phone,CBLTV,etc.) will save many headaches...

DSOTM, although I too would choose WYWH. Wasn't DSOTM an attempt at quadrophonic sound recording? I thought I remember that being mentioned years ago. If so, converting it from a 16-track recording to SACD or DVD-A would seem to give it an edge up on most old albums. AP's "Tales of...

You would be well served if you bought the M22's & sub. You would have an excellent sound for stereo + a good start to your HT. The Axiom 60's don't sound that great with an average powered receiver. I was driving mine with a Yamaha 3300 when I 1st got them & it wasn't until I added amps that...

At the risk of sounding like a walking Axiom ad, check out their packages at axiomaudio.com. You can get an entire HT package for under $2500. I have the M60's & find them to be an excellent speaker @ a great price. They're not the best mind you, but worth a look................ If you're...

To answer the question about Axiom, I ordered a pair of M60's & they arrived w/o issue & superbly boxed I might add. Have had no problems with them. I recommended them to a friend & he ordered the HT package featuring the M50's,EP175,QS4's.............also no problems. I'm skeptical by nature...

Is there anything on the back of the Tshirt? I'd be interested in a shirt with the small logo on the front & the big one on the back........

It's hard to get a great discount on just one item.............if you were in the market for a receiver as well as the NHT's, then the salesman might be able to come close to the internet price on one of the two, or even reduce the price on both a bit. They need to make money too.

Absolutely.............a friend has a 64"(?) Pioneer Elite RP that he bought about 3 years ago. The reflection is the worst I've seen..........I wouldn't want to have to work that hard to watch TV. Having compared the Samsung DLP's to the Mitsub.'s, I'd say the Mitsub.'s have a bit better PQ...

Yes..........simply turn off the surrounds when you have the receiver in 5-ch,6-ch,etc. stereo & you will have the mains & sub only. Any receiver should have that capability. Many also have an "effects defeat" option which gives you straight 2-ch stereo but I believe that eliminates the sub as...

I also have a Yamaha receiver & am using an older B&K amp to drive my mains..........same problem, but only when I power the amp down. Have also noticed it when changing formats(like from stereo to DD)...........I was using some other amps for a while & I didn't have the problem with those, so...

No...........you don't need to match brand names for all the components. If you need to stay under $1500 for the receiver that kind of rules out the B&K, but there are plenty of excellent choices in that price range. Others you may wish to check out would be Marantz, Harmon-Kardon &...

I wouldn't go cheap.................if you're planning on using these for HT as well as music, I'd start at a Denon 2805 & go up from there. It's impossible to recommend any one receiver as there are many good ones to choose from. I have a Yamaha,one friend has a Denon, yet another has a B&K...

Some may be demo's.........I got my RX-V3300 at GG's for $600(list $1500) & it was a demo. No probs except for some of the plugs for the optical conn's were missing & they didn't have the manual for it. And yes, the 1-year manu. warranty was still valid from date of purchase.

Had a pair of Forte's but they now belong to the ex :mad: .........excellent to this day. I remember back in the mid-70's my BIL had an enormous Sansui receiver that he was pretty proud of, paired to some Advents. Was my 1st taste of "hi-fi". Don't even know if the gear was that good but it...

Have you read the article on "ground loops" in the "Beginners & Audiophytes" forum? If so, you might try moving the receiver a few feet away from whatever you have it next to right now & see if anything changes which may identify a shielding problem with a piece of gear...........probably a...

.............which is why I switched to satellite about 4 years ago. I realize it's not an option for everyone, but the install is rather simple(in most cases) & you are your own technician :eek: But even with digital SAT's the majority of content is only in stereo........
