    Buyer beware: Misleading Circuit City Monster Cables display

    At my local Circuit City (in Huntington beach, CA),they have 2 LCDs set up showing the difference in quality of the picture using Monster cables and using regular cables. Both displays are playing of a feed directly from an HDDVD of Shrek. The video on the left LCD (regular cables) looked...

    Another useless Bose innovation?

    its only $1699.99 for the tower , or $1,999.98 for tower&bassmodule. To put it into perspective, that's about the same price as buying a top-end Marshall head w/ 4x12spkr cabinet. They have these Bose systems at alot of the Guitar Centers. Anyone demoed them yet?

    Another useless Bose innovation?

    Bose is coming out w/ a system for musicians, thats suppose to replace PA systems, amps, monitors, and mixers. Not w/ cubes this time, but w/ tall cylinder speakers coupled with some more of their "bass modules". This thing is meant for LIVE concerts; its an interesting approach and does...

    Recomendations for Fronts in the $600 range?

    If there's a PSB dealer in your area, id highly recommend checking out their Image 5T or 6T tower speakers. They're $559 & $650 respectively(blemish prices) through www.dmc-electronics.com. I've gone there myself to listen to the 5T with rock and r&b music and was amazed at what these midpriced...

    Need Suggestions for good Voices to show off my Rockets

    For rock with female singers i would definietly go with No Doubt and Evanescence. Their voices are very clear and prominent in their records.

    Buying first bookshelf speakers, need help!

    If you want the PSB 2B speakers, i would get them from www.dmc-electronics.com (one of HTF's sponsers) since they are PSB authorized dealers. They also have the blems for the $259 price. I live just a few blocks from their store and I've listend to them with rock music and it sounded fantastic...

    Medium density fiberboard

    Try Polk's RTi or LSi line of speakers.

    Confused about digital speakers ?

    Unless its Meridian or some other really high end brand, chances are if you see "digital speakers" labeled anywhere on the speaker or packaging, its one of those no-name brands that dont know what theyre talking about (ie. white van brands).

    New psb image series?

    Im not sure exactly, but i expect it would be in the same condition as the Yawaonline "B" stocks(minor scratches on grille or cabinet). The dealer i went to is DMC Electronics in Orange county, ca. They are an authorized PSB dealer, and they can ship to you if needed, but they dont have an...

    New psb image series?

    $499 for a 4T is actually about right, may actually be a little high. If that price is for a 5T though, it would be a good deal. My local dealer sells the PSB image 4T factory blemishes for $399 and 5T blemishes for $499.

    First post. First question. About DLS sub.

    I just got my DLS sub today and I too experienced a similar bobbling sound during prolonged bass. I noticed it when i watched Monsters Inc. where Sullivan makes the girl laugh in their apartment, and she overloads the electricity in the building. It was downright scary. For a second i thought i...
