Holiday Greetings to all of you from a frequent lurker and not so frequent poster. :cool: I have a friend whom I am helping to re-do his complete sound system. They have a very um..... let's say in-effective system currently comprised of a sony receiver (not a full bodied receiver one of the...

The Epik would be the best compromise Looks like the new Epik Vanquish would be the best bet without any real compromise. The sealed Vanquish looks to be a slam dunk for you. It is small and will have some substantial output down low. Since size is a real concern I am aware of NOTHING out there...

I own a SC Reference but would recommend the two Ultras The SC Reference is the only Def-Tech sub I would recommend. It is powerful and can be downright scary but I honestly do not think it is in the same league with the PC Ultras. The SC Reference can make the floors tremble and is really a...

Thanks MDS one more question? They also have a 1:8 HDMI not that we are strongly considering it but I do wonder how may feet it could shoot HDMI signals? Any idea. I know I have read that 50' with a great HDMI cable gets kind of risky and shakey, would this (the 1:8 HDMI) boost the distance...

OK my friend and his brother are opening up a new retail business, and I am helping with the equipment install (nothing fancy) of the video and audio. The set up will be 5 LCD monitors on the floor in different locations. What we need to do is run a hi-def signal into a video distribution...

Hey guys picked up an RX-V1700 last week and received my cables today from monoprice. I will be hooking this up with a new Yamaha DVD player tomorrow (DVD-C950) along with an Xbox-360 and a Motorola Hi-Def DVR cable box. I will be taking my RX-V2500 and putting it in the BR. My main question...

Got one of these for a steal @ BB on Good Friday. Open item for $49.00. As much as I can tell regular retail is around $499.00. Anyway I have the cables coming from monoprice (tomorrow I think) but am curious as to anyones opinion on this player. I had to order HDMI & HDMI to DVI to set it all...

You have the right idea kumimajava You are right on target there. The sub will have high-level speaker inputs / outputs. You first run your speaker wires to the speaker wire inputs of the sub, and then you run additional wires from the speaker wire outputs to the speakers. Looking at the specs...

Thanks guys Thanks for the replies guys and sorry for the late return, between traveling and having to get a new cell phone, and attending to my Son today (He will be 1 year old tomorrow, man that time has flown by) I was not able to come back in here till now. I will let you guys know, I am...

Ok guys & gals, I want to just keep it to the point of the question if possible. I have a chance to buy for a great price a Def Tech Supercube Reference. Don't start preaching about there questionable spec advertising etc, I know about that already. What my real question is the following. How...

I guess it depends The main question is how big is your room? Thoses are some really good speakers and the PB-10 will blend very well with them. It is a great sub regardless of the price, and considering the price it is phenominal. If your room is avergae to a little above average size it will...

Man I was so afraid of mentioing that that I didn't say it!!!!!!!!!!!! VOltage flows like water and I was very afraid that would happen and of course you would not find out until now. That really sucks man and I am really sorry to hear that. I feel Paradigm should pay for the repair and I would...

You may have another option If your TV has 2 HDMI inputs just run the cable box straight to the TV and hook up either a digital coax or optical cable to your Onkyo for digital audio to the receiver from the cable box. Then since your PS3 works via HDMI you could either run it to the receiver or...

I still say Deco.......... As far as the subs go the little Velodyne will beat that 10" Klipsch even though the Klipsch is a 10" sub vs. the 8" in the velo. Klipsch makes some pretty good subs but you would need to step up their food chain from the sub in that system to get one of them. I am...

Also look at the Martin Logan Dynamo This is the best small sub I have heard with music. It is sealed, tight and very adjustable. The above poster is straight up right as well, those Velodyne SPL's are great. You can get a Dynamo for around $600. The SPL's will be more, probably about twice as...

A lot of great responses, pony up a few more and go with this and cease all doubts For $429 plus shipping you just really can't beat the PB-10NSD from SVS. Just a little looking around at the reviews (both professional and consumer) and it goes without being said. I have the DLS-3750R from...

How much do you want to spend, and what features are you looking for? As far as the receiver goes you need to figure out what your max budget is and what feature set you will need. Most of us use the receiver for both audio/video switching. Meaning that the video and audio both pass through the...

Well that depends I believe you are talking about the Velodyne DECO System correct? If so that particular system has gotten pretty good reviews (when it was at an even higher price point mind you) and the sub is really not bad. It is small in size but it still pumps out a good bit of bass...

I think I learned to do it here I have Comcast as well and I am pretty sure I learned how to do this here. Just power down the cable box (mine is a Motorola as well) and then hit menu. The menu will come up onscreen and you can use the arrows to select each setting. When you put it on 480P it...

Check the menu on the box and make sure it is 480P overide If you turn your cable box off and then hit the "Menu" button on the remote it will bring up the cable box menu. Make sure that the 480 over-ride is on 480P and make sure it is set to a 16:9 setting and then make your choice on 1080i or...
