    A spot out of focus

    Is this an Epson projector? My 8350 has similar issues with hazy, out of focus, discolored areas and dust spots in the light path clearly visible on dark backgrounds. Clearing the exterior won't help, it's in the light path and I haven't had the courage to open it up.

    Video Review: SVS Ultra Series Speakers

    The bookshelves do not sound better overall; they sound similar at half the price in all but the lowest frequencies (my opinion). I found the sonic signature between the towers and the bookshelves is similar enough above a standard 80Hz crossover that the performance difference between the...

    Video Review: SVS Ultra Series Speakers

    FYI to anyone reading, best to PM me or email me directly, I don't often cruise the forum. Just happened to be subscribed to this one or I would have missed it completely. On to the question: I'm completely biased toward capable monitors (bookshelf speakers) plus subs. A dedicated sub will...

    Video Review: SVS Ultra Series Speakers

    Thanks. I haven't heard the Fluance, but I think Gene has. I know I don't see every message that comes through the forums (this one was actually in my email junk folder), so you might want to PM Gene for his take on the Fluance. That said, if you're referring the to SVS Ultra Towers, yes...

    AV Receiver Set Up Guide: Setting Crossover, Distance, Level, and EQ

    We haven't had a pioneer receiver in for a while, but next time I get my hands on one, I'll pay close attention to the MCACC use and results. That said, the manual should offer a step by step on how to use the auto setup. For instance, with the VSX-1130-K, page 50 of the manual details using a...

    Aperion Audio Allaire Bluetooth Speaker Review

    I was able to use them within about 30 feet through walls, if memory serves, with a Moto G.

    Denon AVR-S700W HDMI 2.0 7.2 Channel AV Receiver Review

    No, it does not have HDCP 2.2. You'll have to ask yourself if you're likely to have a 4k source, display, and content before your next AVR upgrade.

    XTZ S2 "Almost" Atmos Height Speaker Preview

    Also, we need to talk about that sub. Does anyone have one of those monsters yet?

    XTZ S2 "Almost" Atmos Height Speaker Preview

    There's a lot of options for using high quality speakers at Atmos/DTS:X/Auro speakers...that's the point. You don't have to (and, perhaps, shouldn't) buy Atmos "branded" speakers. The JBLs are a good option, but are much larger than these, and not a perfect match when used with the rest of the...

    Video Review: SVS Ultra Series Speakers

    Hi Chopin_Guy, I wrote the original review, and this is a little more about my perspective. I personally want the best timbre matching across my front channel I can get, and that is always going to be accomplished by using 3 identical speakers. I did not find the bookshelf unit performance...

    Hsu Research VTF-15H MK2 & VTF-3 MK5 HP Subwoofer Preview

    I'd need 2 :) I'm going to be going hands-on with some RBH speakers soon. I'll definitely keep their subs in mind.

    Hsu Research VTF-15H MK2 & VTF-3 MK5 HP Subwoofer Preview

    Agreed size is a factor here. I'm really looking to go to dual subs, but I'd only be able to bury these in a corner. I'd been looking at the SVS cylinder options for minimum footprint/maximum placement options. The SVS may, and I say "may" until we verify the output numbers, have less output...

    Hsu Research VTF-15H MK2 & VTF-3 MK5 HP Subwoofer Preview

    Agreed. The performance seems almost lockstep with the SVS Ultra, but at nearly half the price.

    JBL Pro 7 Series Master Reference Speakers!

    Too bad they aren't being sold as speakers only, w/o amplification/processing. These could be some pretty interesting HT speakers given the M2 pedigree. Hopefully, there will be a way to buy the speakers only given that JBLs home speakers have been a bit lackluster as of late, and there's a...

    JBL 3 Series Powered Studio Monitor Overview

    Yes, the lighter overall weigh and more hollow "knuckle rap" definitely made me think the cabinet was less sturdy on the JBLs vs the KRKs, but upon listening (albeit limited material in a much less than perfect environment) the JBLs would have been my purchase choice.
