    Should You Match Amplifier Power to Your Speakers?

    I have always been confused about impedance (Ohms). I have Miller-Kriesels as my speakers in the theater. The LCRs (THX-750) can handle 4 Ohms, but the surrounds (550 THX) are rated for 8 Ohms. So which do I set my receiver to (Sony STR-DA5600ES); 8 or 4? :confused: I do calibrate to THX...

    The Dolby Atmos Home Theater Paradox

    I have to agree, in the most part, with the comments above and the article. I am set up as 9.1 and use the PL IIz matrixing. I find the height adds some 'depth' on a few movies (certainly not the majority), but the overall surround effect is virtually identical to 7.1. I had the good fortune of...

    BenQ W1500 Wireless Projector Preview

    Why do manufacturers continue to insist their product is 'wireless'?? It would be more correct to say that their projector can use the WHDI standard for video signal in functions. Until these do not require a power cord, or any other hookup that uses good old fashioned copper for that matter, it...

    Equipment & Room setup questions

    My setup at home is pretty simple. I have a DirecTV receiver, a PS-3, and a NAS for streaming video, all hooked into a Sony STR-DA5600ES. Video is provided by an Epson 5010 projector calibrated with the S&M calibration disk. Audio is direct (none of the stupid "cinema", "sports", etc...

    I have a set of your MK 750 system speakers, including an additional two surround-550 THX and second V1250 subwoofer for 7.1 surround capabilities (the subs are terminated on a single output from the receiver via Monster “Y” adapter). Until recently, I was using a Sony STR-DA5300ES receiver...

    Roku Netflix Player Set-top Box Review

    Roku I have had this box virtually since its inception about six weeks ago. LOVE IT! I bought it for my wife who loves to have a movie 'on' but not watch it while working in the kitchen and who has constantly complained about having to go 'select a DVD, load it, wade through the menu, and...

    Ask Dr. A! Too Many HDMI Outputs

    HDMI Inputs Question to the user: Why have a DVD player AND a PS-3? Why not just use your PS-3 as the DVD player? With a Nyko IR remote adapter, you can control the PS-3 with any universal remote (that's what I do).

    Focupix HDVio Electric Screen with RF Remote

    RF option This screen is very interesting to me. The only thing I'd point out to the author is that you can easily get around the RF only by using a Logitech Harmony 890pro or 1000 series universal remote. I have the 890 and it works great for RF.
