Help wanted!!!

[sudyke]

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum! I don't know too much about HT stuff. Can anyone tell me where I can learn about these things everyone writes here? Like +3db=2xpower, and how you calculate that a 92db speaker needs 516W-s for 119db, what is spl level, and things like that!
Thx!

Also I am planning on buying a Pio VSX-D814! That is the max that my budget can hold! My room is about 20-25sqm, 3m30cm high cieling, with very thick walls. Good buy? Pros, cons? I will probably use it with my computer's 5.1 soundcard, but I am planning on buying a decent DVD-player soon (need more money)!

The D814 is great for the money you pay!

Read all the tech tips on audioholics.com if you want to learn - this site is also very good:

Thx! I've read the tips on this page, but somehow I'm not getting the info I'm looking for! I'll try the link you sent me! Maybe I should read a high school physics book??? Dunno if that would help!

High school physics definitely helps a lot! If you're really interested in the subject, that would be the best thing do to - find a high school physics text book

The sound/acoustics section will help some

Since you are new to this, the problem is you will not know what are facts and what are audio bs coming from the makers. Just be careful. You may want to bounce some of the questions off this board.

I see! I'll be careful!
