    Top 10 Most Influential Speakers of the last 50 years!

    What about the first major Internet Direct Speaker Company? I do not know who that may be, but the concept of selling a speaker, without hearing it, is a wild concept. Who would have thought that would be a successful business model!

    So my dog broke my B&W 803S...

    I have a 18 lb Jack Russell Terrier that loves to attack my Floor standing speakers! After years of trying to figure out how to prevent her from ruining my speakers, I figured it out! Upside down wooden bar stools, like you can buy in Walmart! Not going to win any decorating awards, but it...

    What is the most conductive solder for speaker cable connections?

    Exacty! Thanks for all the responses. I also learned that I need to heat up the wire so as to not get a cold solder.

    What is the most conductive solder for speaker cable connections?

    Title says it all! I want to use banana clips on my receiver end, and I just want to solder the striped wire connection and screw it directly into the speaker via the binding posts on the speaker. I have some CAIG GOLD spray that I will use just before connecting the wires. Thanks!

    Polk R50 139.99 a pair Portland, OR Area

    For the price, I think these are a very good speaker. I bought 4 for my dad, (in Cherry) and "previewed " them for several months. Used these as part of a HT system for my dad. (combined with a Pioneer vsx 1014 - I upgraded me to the vsx 1015!) MUCH MUCH better than your average HT in a...

    Budget Component Cables

    Do a search here on pacific cables. SPECIFICALLY, for component video, they have some very good cables, at VERY REASONABLE prices. I think they were called viper or something like that. Also, partsexpress.com has their datyona cables, that are resonably priced, and very good.

    Any opinions on Dayton Cables?

    Does RS still sell their own house brands of cables? They are a recent convert to Monster Cable. I used to like RS cables, as they were very good quality and not too expensive. I just bought a set of Dayton Cables from partsexpress, and they seem like they are pretty well built cables!

    Does the Pioneer 1014 up-convert to component video?

    I own the Pioneer VSX-1014 and have Component output to my HDTV, and I have done S-video, Component, and RCA through the Receiver to the TV via the Component output, no problem. I really like my 1014!

    If you could buy Monster cables...

    While I would always shop around, I think that high end consumers that frequent AV forums have always stated that Monster has high quality cables, just that they cost too much! So, yes, I would CONSIDER Monster at a lower price point, but again, I would look around.

    Pioneer, Panasonic AV Receivers Opinions

    Interesting that you asked about both Pioneer and Panasonic. I am on my second Pioneer receiver (VSX-1014). I really (REALLY !) liked both my Pioneer receivers (first one was a 1999 model), but do not consider myself a "pioneer only" guy, it just so happened that these two offered the right...

    I've been doing a lot of reading on this subject, as my dad wants to buy a RP CRT. So, in summary here is what I have read. 1. RP CRT is at least as good, and some people think it is better, than any other RP technology. Some people have said, that except for gaming, RP CRT is actually...
