    Whats the deal with Axiom?

    I still love my Axiom speakers. I don't feel the slightest inkling to change to something else, it wouldn't be worth the bother/money etc. Greatest thing about speakers, they should last you a lifetime, really. If they're good speakers, they should always be good speakers. I think Axiom sort...

    New Axiom VP180

    I better head over and find that thread then! Been wanting to upgrade from a VP100 for years. Maybe I can get a VP150 pretty cheap? :) I wonder has anyone A/B'd the V3 vs. V2?

    Multichannel CASD/CD/CD-R Player

    What's the word on the Denon 1940CI? I've been considering this model as a replacement for a Pioneer DV588. Would it be considered a better CD player than the Pioneer?

    Vinyl. What took me so long?

    Well, this is easily the most successful post I've made on here :D I'm happy that I can now listen to vinyl. I still listen to CD's just so you all know. In fact I bought a few today. I haven't managed to make it to a store that sells vinyl yet, but when I do I'll be glad I can browse both...

    My Home Cinema (noob version)

    How is this noob edition? This is probably one of the nicest set-ups I've seen on here. I'm very jealous! The one thing I would suggest though, is to perhaps wall mount that center speaker just under your TV so the sound from it can clear the a/v cabinet it's currently on. The way it is...

    Vinyl. What took me so long?

    This will probably sound stupid. I'm sitting here right now listening to music on both formats. To get a similar listening volume, CD's are generally put at around -25 up to -20 on the volume dial, but with vinyl for a similar volume it's at around -13 up to -5 depending on the album. Is...

    Vinyl. What took me so long?

    I should add that by no means am I suddenly a vinyl-nazi. But I think I've decided that I'll now have both it and CD hooked up permanently, and pick up some of my favourite albums on vinyl. :) Nothing wrong with that right?

    Vinyl. What took me so long?

    I am hearing a very significant difference. It could just be these old records are from better masters. Pretty much everything I'm putting on is an original release. The Animals comparison really disturbed me though. It's the Animals-Retrospective SACD and I've always considered it a very high...

    Vinyl. What took me so long?

    Wow! Vinyl sounds amazingly good! (Just wanted to get that out there) Someone gave me a turntable a while ago and I finally hooked it up. Raided my parents old (and mouldy in some cases) vinyl collection and found some real gems like Simon & Garfunkel, Everly Brothers, Chet Atkins and tons of...

    No CD (DVD & BluRay only) for Neil Young's upcoming Archive series!

    http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003702875 Pretty interesting. I have no problem with no CD release for these, because that means high-res versions! I'm just wondering what the difference will be between the BluRay and DVD version, higher resolution...

    Blu-ray snags Warner Bros exclusive

    I know a lot of people are happy the "war" appears to be over, including those like myself who have been holding off on either format. But I was personally hoping it would go on at least another year to help drive player and media prices down. I fear that BluRay players will maintain...

    Got a free 34" XBR

    That is a VERY good TV. You'll be hard pressed to beat the picture quality on that set. I inherited a similar TV from my dad, who also still owns and loves the set you got for free, he's got a Panny plasma aswell and still says nothing will ever beat that Sony XBR picture but he prefers the...

    Axiom Speaker Advice for Small Room

    Hey David, Go for the M22, VP150 and the QS8. Those M22's are awesome and fairly small. They're tall but thin. You'll need a sub if you're going with Axiom the 350 (I think that's model) should be more than enough. Don't skimp on the the center and regret it later like I did. The VP100...

    Photos of my disgusting basement HT setup!!!

    I don't like it either to be honest, but like I said, the receiver seems perfectly cool after extended use so it seems to be ok in my situation. The DVD player is very shallow, so it's only covering about half the top grill of the Yamaha A/V. It's also the basement and it's pretty cool...

    Photos of my disgusting basement HT setup!!!

    Hey thanks guys. I was worried about putting the DVD player atop the receiver so I just tried it out at first, checking if things were getting too hot. I can't put the DVD player under the receiver because of the dimensions and where the feet of each unit are. So anyway, I haven't had...

    speaker break in question

    In my experience I've only noticed a "break-in" with new paper cone speakers which I only have in guitar amplifiers. Most of the home audio speakers these days seem to use aluminum or kevlar cones or if they're paper they're heavily treated/tarred to maintain their rigidity. All I know is if...

    Quality CD recordings

    I actually work in a CD store (new and used) and we have a handful of regulars who come in and want to inspect certain CD's to see where they were made. They're usually looking for German pressings of certain CD's, or Japanese issues, or whatever. I don't really know what but it's annoying...

    Gable's HT

    Beautiful system!

    one pic, one sub, two R's

    I have that too, I don't think it's because of your sub placement. When I get about halfway down my stairs to the home theater the bass is ridiculous, like it all collects there. Not sure what the explanation is.

    Photos of my disgusting basement HT setup!!!

    Just won a digital camera (some low end pentax) so here's my inevitable gear pics in my hideous basement (hope this works). Believe me, it sounds better than it looks! Center Axiom VP100 and Sony 4:3 CRT HDTV which has actually done its job as a segway SDTV/HDTV without breaking the bank...
