    Just Another New Speakers Thread

    I'll second the Sierra-1 suggestion - great speakers and a good company to deal with.

    Kudos to the folks at Electronics Expo!

    Over the weekend I ordered a Yamaha A810 receiver (last year's model) through Electronics Expo via Amazon. It was a decent deal - $599. A pain to get it shipped to Alaska - they wouldn't ship here direct. But...this morning I opened my email and found a message stating that even though the...

    Enter to Win: SVS PB12-NSD or a SB12-NSD!!!

    A series of pretty cool promises that SVS makes to their customers. Hard to pick a favorite clause in your contract with your customers. If forced to choose, I'd have to say #8. I know that the laws of physics cannot be denied, but I'd really like to see a sub that's only a few inches deep...

    Something to think about when listening to your receiver, or using you iPad or iPhone

    I know a lot more people who are in trouble because they lost a job than because they took out bad loans. Bad loans were EASY to avoid.

    Something to think about when listening to your receiver, or using you iPad or iPhone

    Getting American non-producers producing goods will lead to more steaks. Absolutely. That's what the "it's pro-American, not anti-Chinese" comments are all about. BUT...the reality is that there aren't an infinite number of steaks to go around. Every product built in China and shipped to...

    Something to think about when listening to your receiver, or using you iPad or iPhone

    It's all about who wins and who loses. Life isn't like so many have been taught in school where "everybody wins and nobody loses". One steak - two dogs.

    1. How do you buy your high-end audio products today? Why? Online. I live in a small town in Alaska - we have very limited choices when it comes to brick & mortar options. 2. What three consumer electronics products in the market today are you most excited about and why? Tablet...

    An 'AHA' moment...

    It's actually probably not that big of an issue for me - while I have a large room (~2850 cubic feet) - the volume levels that we listen at are usually fairly low. My speaker plans are to use my existing Klipsch RB-15's as surrounds, pick up a pair of Axiom M60's and a VP100 center, and top...

    An 'AHA' moment...

    As I posted the original post I thought about an amp and wondered if I should have asked about it - but as usual, the Audioholics regulars can point things out even before they're asked!:) Thanks!!!! It's so typical - the more I learn the more I understand that I really know very little! But...

    An 'AHA' moment...

    I've been reading and hanging out here for a few weeks as I tried to gather information about what kind of AV receiver to purchase and to learn about speakers. I recently purchased a Denon 1907 receiver - primarily because Denon is the only brand carried by the sole AV shop in our community...

    Find Bugs, Win an OPPO!

    In the FAQ section paragraph 10 has two "italics' display errors as shown below: "10. Because there are a lot of forum members (and on slim occasion, manufacturers) who like to doggedly bring up their favorite products (it seems) in each and every forum thread, we have had to instate a new rule...

    New Receiver /

    OK, I just bought my first new receiver since 1985 and now I feel like an idiot:) It's a Denon 1907 just for reference. Volume - this doesn't make sense to me - the volume starts off at something like -45db (I'm going from memory) which is silent - goes through 0 db (which I naively...

    Enter to Win: $100 off AV123 order!

    As someone who lives in an isolated community (accessible only by boat or plane) with a very limited amount of selection in quality audio and home theater components, the most important criteria for me is the reputation of a company (and by extension its products) evidenced by comments and...

    Help Us Beta Test Audioholics 2.0

    The main body text font renders very poorly on both our Windows XP SP2/Firefox 2.0 and IE 7.0 system and on our Mac OSX 10.4/Firefox 2.0 system. Looks OK on XP/Opera 9.10. Way too many ads - it looks great without the ads (AdBlock Plus work well). As for charging a membership fee to avoid...

    Putting together a new system

    Ah - so the room layout should influence the _type_ of surrounds. Gotcha. These forums rock - I learn new things every day! It's a strange space for a home theater - it's a totally open floor plan. Timber-framed with lots of exposed beams and posts and a ton of windows on the exterior...

    Putting together a new system

    Bear with me while I learn - What would be the difference between using say, my rb-15's, as the surrounds vs using speakers designed as surround speakers (or is a lot of that just marketing hoopla?)? (the biggest difference that I can _see_ is the orientation of the individual speakers in...
