    considering the Outlaw

    I'm thinking of doing the same with my Yammy 3300. I've tried to post new threads about this but they don't show up.Hope you don't mind me butting in here. I'm considering the M 200's or just going for the 755.Reviews are good,but then most reviews on Audioreview.com are. My other options are a...

    is my speaker dead/dying??

    They could've gotten wet or played in damp conditions.Or maybe they are not the original drivers. Or(gulp) maybe they're junk. No offense.

    HT Ragazine's Top 20 DVDs

    Good list.I love Independence Day but thought it could've been a little better,audio wise.The shoot-out at the end of "Open Range" is stellar.Not just the shots,which are cool,but the way they echo. if you haven't seen this yet,crank it up when you do.Unfortunately,for audio spectacle,there...

    Any NAD folks around here?

    Amp opinions

    I'll try this again. Wrote an earlier thread & it's nowhere to be found. I've been looking to add an amp to my Yammy 3300. I've got Axiom M60's for front,cheap Klipsch center,& soon will have either Axiom m22's or m3's for surrounds.I've narrowed my search(mostly due to budget) down to a couple...

    Amp recommendations

    OK fellas,I've been considering adding an amp to my Yammy 3300 for a while now & have somewhat narrowed it down. I've got a pair of Axiom M60's,cheap Klipsch center,& 2 Klipsch KB1.1's for surrounds(soon to be replaced by either Axiom M22's or M3's).What I would ultimately like to do is have 5X...

    The Ethics of Product Review

    What if the product in question was rattled during shipping & is now somewhat defective? I'm sure the manufacturer sent the tester a piece of gear that they were confident was good but if said gear was no longer functioning as intended wouldn't the tester want to verify this with the...

    Just some Adivice

    I've heard some HTIB systems from $300-$1000 & there is a difference.A friend bought a Yamaha on sale for $700 & it works for him.It's not bad. But,no,don't expect to drive your other speakers with it. The HTIB has matched the stuff so they can get a decent sound out of it. Just as you wouldn't...

    Digital Audio Cables: Optical or Coaxial?

    Not sure exactly what the stereo industry uses for a light source,but with a quality FO conductor you can shine a flashlight in one end & pick it up a couple thousand feet away. I don't know what the quality of the FO of interconnects for stereo is. Much has to do with the quality of the lense...

    Sound Problems on start up

    Does the sound,when it finally comes on,click right on to the volume it's set at? The reason I ask is that I have a Yamaha receiver that has a similar issue with one of the surround chans.When I turn the receiver on sometimes that chan is working & sometimes not.I've found that when it's not,all...

    Audioholics Reviews

    I don't read every review from start to finish unless it's something I'm interested in at the time. I will skim through receiver reviews because I'm not in the market for one right now.But I read ALL of your speaker reviews end to end until I decided what I wanted & will read all amp reviews end...

    Basic Setup Questions (Home Theatre)

    Another,very inexpensive method is,providing the speakers have slots in their backs for them,is to just get some long wood screws or sheetrock screws & just mount them in a stud in the wall & hang the speakers off them.If you leave enough of the screw exposed,you can slide the speaker out to the...

    Connecting sub to receiver w/no sub output

    Good gawd,they're everywhere. Unregistered,there is no need to cut & paste replies if your goal is to try to answer ones' questions.It's not a pissing contest,it's about trying to help someone solve an issue with their gear.

    Connecting sub to receiver w/no sub output

    Good replies Mark. Sub volume does need to change with receiver volume. The drop-in poster doesn't realize that using a sub doesn't require the receiver to have bass management.

    newbie audio level/mode question

    Yes.You need a digital output from the cbl box to your receiver.RCA's won't pass the digital signal,only analog.You may have to request another box from your cbl company.They usually have an optical(Toslink) connection for DD signal. And,yes,you are correct.When in DD all dialogue should come...

    newbie audio level/mode question

    You may have a serious mismatch of gear. What model Sony is this? Is it one of their ES models? Or one for $199? If the Pioneers are a quality model,made for high amplification,the Sony may not drive them very well.Or even the center for that matter. Also,what kind of signal source do you...

    Need recommendations on two high-end systems

    For the theatre room,an alternative to the maggies might be some Klipschs. I had a pr of Klipsch Forte's that were excellent in HT use. Very efficient & handle action scenes very well. I'm not sure what would be comparable to the Forte's these days,maybe the RF-7's. I haven't kept up on the...

    audiophyte needs specific upgrade advice

    I have the Axiom m60's & they're a great value.I have posted a review on this site. The Paradigm Studio series is an excellent choice,can't say as much for the monitors as I have only a short experience with them. Be aware that stepping up your speakers may require more power to fully enjoy...

    mitsu ws-65813 CRT vs. Sony KDF950XBR LCD

    I've never been a Samsung fan,so to speak,but from what I understand the technology of the DLP is owned by Texas Instrmnts.So no matter what brand of DLP you get the performance should be relatively equal.I have only seen them in-store & don't know anyone who has one yet.Panasonic & Mitsu. are...
