    Monoprice Monolith Unveils 10", 12" and 15" THX Ported Subwoofers

    Correct. The Monolith could only BETTER the Outlaw. It would take 3 or more to have a best.

    How to Choose the Best Turntable for Vinyl Record Playback

    JVC QL-F320 probably from the late 70's. Dual servo direct drive. I just changed it to an Ortofon 2M Red which is listed as 7.2 grams. The information on Vinylengine says it's good for 4.5 to 8 grams of cartridge but I had to add a goodly amount to the counter weight to get it to balance. A...

    Anyone know what Comcast is delivering?

    Lately since I work from home, I've been playing the Comcast Jazz "channel" throughout the day. I have the Motorola DVR hdmi'd to my AVR. It says it's receiving PCM. I was just wondering if anyone knows what level of definition they are broadcasting. thanks mardukes

    The Difference Between Bi-amping and Bi-wiring

    I'm asking to be called such things. However, I'm going to have to call you on missing the distinction between Amazon.com and Yamaha.com: It's on the internet so it's got to be true, right? How about this I found @ SoundandVision.com. I'm going to have to call Raj on this!

    The Difference Between Bi-amping and Bi-wiring

    Interesting. Listing on Amazon.com: on line spec sheet @yamaha.com: RMS Power (8 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz) [THD] 105W x 7 [0.06%]

    The Difference Between Bi-amping and Bi-wiring

    According to Raj of the Yamaha Support Team, "Yes you are getting 200 watts to your front LEFT/RIGHT speakers when you are using BI-amp." Are you thinking the parsing here is that he doesn't say to each of your front LEFT/RIGHT speakers? Is it possible this is a 700 watt power amp? How about...

    The Difference Between Bi-amping and Bi-wiring

    Haven't heard back from Yamaha yet, but how about this statement from the Features section of that manual: What story are they telling here?

    The Difference Between Bi-amping and Bi-wiring

    Every "authoritative" source seems to come to the same conclusion. Everything that passive bi-amping accomplishes can be done by just having a bigger amplifier. Which brings me to the same conclusion that Crutchfield avers (I paraphrase), you bought a 7.1 system that you're using for 5.1, so...

    The Difference Between Bi-amping and Bi-wiring

    I hope someone is still listening to this thread who is willing to help out another wiseguy who knows little. I've got a Yamaha AVR (RX-V863) that "has" bi-amp capabilities. I just picked up a couple of Polk towers that come with 4 jumpered posts on each one. You've covered my first...

    Alas, I became the first kid on my block to own the Yamaha RX-V863. And ABT delivered it right to my door!

    Marantz SR4002 Surround Receiver

    While I would still like to understand what features set the Marantz apart... I've got Comcast's HD DVR (HDMI, assumedly 1.0) and no other particularly interesting sources but my computer. I've got a Mitsu HD1000U projector so I don't need anything better than 720p or 1080i, but I'm not...

    Marantz SR4002 Surround Receiver

    I don't understand welcome me, thank you very much I don't get your excitement because I must need some education. This receiver doesn't have any(either) of the hi-def codecs nor SACD. What receiver in this price range doesn't accept LCPM? Isn't decoding HDCD a function of the source...
