    How to check whether a speaker set is compatible with a A/V receiver

    The HTIB can sound OK because the speakers are built to match the relatively low powered source.The advantage of buying the receiver/speakers separately is flexibility. The equipment in the HTIB will not be very useful outside of its own setup,whereas the receiver/speakers could be used in...

    Fact or Fiction? More power=better sound?

    Thanks Rip.Your points are duely noted.Other than watching movies,I haven't listened to my setup with mains set to "small" & let the sub relieve the amp of some of the work.Sort of seems like a waste of the speaker.I'm gonna give it a shot & play with it for a bit. I guess part of me is...

    Fact or Fiction? More power=better sound?

    OK,you guys have answered a lot of questions I have about adding an amp to my yammy.I've noticed just what you are saying about a sudden call for power from the amp. When listening to some music(let's use Bryan Adams' "Heaven" as an example) at low to almost moderate levels,the changes in the...

    Shame on Bose

    Good points Gator. I guess it's really not our business to "save people from Bose" so we shouldn't try unless asked. I,too,have friends who couldn't care less if the music came from Martin Logans or a boom box. But it's just a shame when friends or relatives fall prey to marketing.If they're...

    Buy cheap or go deep on amp for Yammy?

    I've been looking at amps for a while & have considered many.I'll probably end up spending more than I want to,but I'm trying to exercise some restraint.I've looked at the Outlaw M200's @ $574(a pair delivered) but have a question.Their site says they are "class A/B/*".Up to 80 watts they are...

    Shame on Bose

    Yes,Gene,it IS a shame. Bigger than I know,probably,because what has really changed about Bose products in the last 10 years?

    Yammie Receiver

    Don't know if you have a Good Guys store near you but they're advertising the Yammy 3300 for,basically,1/2 price at $740.I have had one since Jan. & like it.It's an excellent value @ that price & has good power & bass.

    Shame on Bose

    I received a mailer from the Good Guys & while flipping through it found what is basically a HTIB from Bose,only it advertises as "an intelligent system that learns your moods & creates custom playlists on the spot to match how you feel.Right. 5 cubes,a sub,& a 48 CD player for $4000...

    Axiom Audio M60ti Loudspeaker Review

    I briefly listened to a pair of B&W 602's(?,not sure) & thought they sounded boxey.The Axioms sounded better.

    Yamaha RXV3300?

    I bought one about 6-7 months ago on closeout & think it's excellent.Has a better power supply than any of the newer Yammys other than the flagships(Z1/Z9). May not have all the video up-convert features of the newer models but I didn't buy it for that.It's a solid unit with enough power to...

    Too many choices! I'm baffled

    One "problem" of buying quality speakers is that,to sound their best,they need to have some quality electronics,which isn't cheap. I have the Axiom 60's & am happy with them. Haven't heard the 80's but would be willing to bet they are also a great value.Any really good speaker you buy is not...

    Finally took a stand against the music industry

    Good for you.I,too,like to make my own CD's & it's not for distribution.Like many others,I'm sure,I like to combine the best music off of multiple CD's for listening to in the car.I make a lot of "best of" CD's,with compilations of different artists & themes for MY enjoyment.I like having all...

    Bodybuilding Thread from Yamaha Z9 Discussion

    One thing I've read & found to be true is that there is no such thing as "spot reducing".Your body stores fat all over,more in some places than others.When you start cutting you will lose fat from all areas of the body.Because of that the places that have stored the most will be the last to...

    Definitive Tech Speakers Reviews????

    The Studio 100's would have been my choice,too,had I not been budgeted to $1000.Excellent speaker.

    Definitive Tech Speakers Reviews????

    I listened to a pr of Deftechs with the sub built in about a year ago.Thought they were ok,but not for $1400. I think there are better deals out there.I ended up getting Axiom M60's($800) & am very happy with them.Of course they don't have a built in sub,so it's kind of an apples & oranges...

    ALPS Potentiometers?

    With all I've read about Odyssey gear,I seriously doubt they would put substandard parts in such an otherwise quality designed product.
