    Help me choose subwoofer! Dynamo 1500x vs SB13 vs PB13

    How in the heck can you get that kind of discount on SVS products through a dealer. There's not that much room on their products for a 40% discount to a dealer.

    Chris Squire R.I.P.

    This shocks me...sad. We shared some similarities...I stopped taking acid about 10 years later...spend alot of time in the bathroom still, etc. Just didn't have his talent.

    Steven Wilson Hand. Cannot. Erase. Blu-ray Review

    Very late and out of touch...hi John, long time and I missed you. We need to catch up...I'll try to PM you if I can figure out the new site. New address, new life, new health. Still listen to PT...didn't follow SW solo, but that can be discussed elsewhere.

    Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the Degradation of Audio Quality & the Music Industry

    To introduce someone to PT, I'd recommend picking up the BR concert Anesthetize. It includes all of Fear of a Blank Planet material and a large smattering of their back catalog. Then go exploring from there. Watching how gifted they are will reinforce the music. From Stupid Dream to the...

    Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the Degradation of Audio Quality & the Music Industry

    The Insurgentes interviews are up, but there are quite a few more from 07 and 08 in multi-part form. In the same vein, but interesting. I've got another grandchild's baptism this weekend, but maybe Sunday I'll give you a call if you're home. I want to borrow and burn some of that stuff...

    Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the Degradation of Audio Quality & the Music Industry

    I took a chance on PT when exploring one of my first MCH purchases back in 2005. I'm older and was a huge prog fan during the 70s. I liked alot of what I heard in their obvious skill, SW's songwriting, arrangement and production capability (though IA was produced by Eliot Sheiner), but was...

    Cadence CSX-15 MKII vs Epik Legend

    I haven't heard the Legend, but have been told it's very similar to the Empire, just 1/2 the output. The CSX15II will have more. I've been playing with one for a couple of months and it pounds in the midbass and very respectable musically. As far as matching a pair of A2-300s in output, it...

    Cadence CSX-12 MkII

    Nice mini-review John. I agree, Cadence keeps upping the bar on their products. I've been playing with the CSX 15 Mark II for over a month. I doubt you'll find it's limits when I bring it by before sending it to it's final home. Like you, I thought the last rev did an admirable job in both...

    The Green Hornet on BluRay

    The Green Hornet was a radio show during the 30s and a bad TV show for 1 season in the 60s. Did they start a comic book as well? This was a property long before Marvel came into existence.

    Thor

    As a pre teen, I read everything I could find in Greek and Norse mythology and when Thor came out in 1962, he became my favorite Marvel hero. That said, I found this movie in IMAX 3D alot of fun. The whole "god out of water" Earth segment worked for me. The Asgardian story worked as well...

    Looking forward to it. I love the DD15.

    OPPO BDP-95 Blu-ray Player First Look

    My understanding is that the player converts the codecs and sends it as PCM to your receiver, but your are getting the entire package. As far as HDMI bitstream being better...that will depend on the DACs in the AVR or pre plus any automatic eq added. In my case, I was using a legacy...

    Epik subs vs HSU

    Maybe John Garcia will chime in. From what I've read the Empire's amp gets warm, it's the Legend that gets hot.

    HSU VTF-15H Subwoofer Review

    That's a great looking FR @ 75dbs. What it doesn't show is what happens when you increase the volume. From the cuts, you've had to eliminate alot of response above 30hz to get flat. If with the volume increase you stay fairly flat, I'd suppose that your output would be effected. That's not a...

    I've seen all the BDs ;). I was talking about the books.

    Do I need more UMPH? :D

    http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71390 Sounds like the issue might be related to the amp section of your AVR. I saw something similar on a Polk thread.

    The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest BD

    I finally got a chance to watch this movie last night. I enjoyed it. Obviously, much was left out of the story, but what was shown was easy enough to follow and satisfied me. I went to the library today to borrow Dragon...all of their 20 copies were out with 5 holds. Looks like I'll have to...

    Comparison thread search: Dual Empires vs. one SVS pb-13

    That's the one...there was alot of blood in the water, but when he finally posted his graphs (from memory, I can't bear to dig through that thread), I thought they told the tale reasonably, with his rig, in his room. I don't remember much, other than, 2 Empires worked better for him than a...

    Comparison thread search: Dual Empires vs. one SVS pb-13

    I don't think anyone knows what the max output of the Empires really are. There's one guy on the Epik thread that compared duals to a single Submersive (not HP) and the duals won...can't remember by how much. I'd guess that above 40hz dual Empires would have an advantage over a single Ultra...
