Very nice write up, AF. And very nice looking speakers. Do you plan on keeping them/buying them when the demo is over?

MP3 is only a stereo format; two speakers is the correct number. In order to hear your MP3s thru all five speakers you'll need to apply a DSP, like 5CH Stereo or Dolby PLII. What brand and type of gear do you have? Perhaps we can help you ascertain whether what you want to do is possible with...

With most PJs changing the bulb is a snap, and you can easily do it yourself.

I intend to buy a Carada myself early next year. Probably a Criterion with BW surface. I'll buy either an 80" or an 84", though- I don't want anything bigger.

Screenshots are meaningless as indicators of PQ- they're just not accurate enough. It's hard to tell you what to do- most reviews place the Carada & the Stewart nearly neck-and-neck for quality. From the "expert opinions" the Stewart may offer that extra 5-10% increase in quality. That slight...

There are two likely scenarios that occur to me: 1) You're overdriving your sub. No matter how potent the sub, it can be overdriven. The fact that the distortion went away when you inadvertantly reduced the input by incorrectly connecting it lends weight to this notion. 2) You're...

I'm no expert, but water is much, much denser than air.

For $50 I'd say it's a no-brainer. I wouldn't say the Poly-Cell is the model of transparent, extended treble but it's smooth-ish rather than shrill. The cabinets are basically unbraced and almost completely undamped, but you could easily change that. For the price I'd say "go for it." If you...

The sonotube may have a low WAF, but so might a box unless you're a pretty good woodworker.;) I think the Shiva would work well, but you may want to look around at the TC Sounds website. They OEM all the woofers for SVS, among other companies.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I use Monster Cable.:o I was in a hurry and the only 4 conducter cable I could find was Monster. If I'd have had time to order it online I'd have bought 14/4 by Tributaries, but I needed something locally. All of my speakers are biwirable, but I don't have...

I've not heard those speakers, but that's quite possibly the best sentence I've ever read at AH!:D

I think SACD is toast from a pop standpoint. It will probably keep going strong indefinately with Classical and Jazz.

Stop listening to rap! Problem solved.;) :D

I think they're Avante Garde Basshorns, next to a pair of Avante Garde Trio's. The amps look like they might be Edge Monoblocs, but it's hard to make them out in the smallish picture.

I too suspect the Onix X-LS will bear little resemblance to your current speakers. I may eventually get a pair of them just to mess around with, so great are the reviews they've recieved. WAF should also be good as they offer several finishes, and their woodwork & finish is beyond "furniture...

The "Premier Acoustic PA-6F Home Theater System" looks like a Klipsch knock-off. I'd avoid them unless I could find some impartial reviews from some third party (not the reviews posted on the sellers forum). I don't want to bash Klipsch, but I don't care for their speakers. Their Reference...

AV123 has their own forum. They also have a forum at AudioCircle. I myself have purchased speakers and electronics from them and was very impressed with the service. The packaging is tremendous, with peices double boxed in very stout containers. I bought an Onix SP3 and a pair of Onix Ref 1...

I would probably buy the mains first, then the surrounds (unless of course you purchased them together). I'd probably add the center next and buy the sub when I could. Of course, sub-then-center will also work. My sister has a Denon 3802 (my hand-me-down!:D ) driving 7 Monitor Audio...

Yeah. What's up with that? Wish You Were Here is probably my favorite 'Floyd album. I wish they'd bring it out already.

Good luck, Matt. I hope you and all your brothers in arms will be home soon.
