I don't know how these compare to the Onix Ref, but I'll just throw it out there. - The Eros (I built a pair and I'm happy with it)Link - The Ellis (I'd like to get one of these) Link - The Seas offering from Madisound Audio

You can never have too much power. Also add: Acurus - used Anthem MCA-5 for less than $1000 used. Aragon Ati Search Ebay or Audiogon

I have the Elite 45TX for about 2 years now. Works great for movies. Never a problem. I have dedicated speakers for stereo music and looking to find a stereo pre-amp. Conlusion, Elite 45TX great for movies so so for music. Although it was pretty good going up against the Lexicon DC-2 which...

I have a very similar setup. Pioneer 563a DVD player, Vocopro DA-2050K karaoke mixer, Pioneer VSX-45TX receiver, Paradigm Studio 20 speakers and Tempest Sub. For karaoke: DVD to the Vocopro via analog cables, then vocopro to the receiver CD input. For movies: Digital Coax from DVD...

It's really easy to make. Do an Ebay search for Slot Aluminum. That's where I got mine at good prices. Also get the T-Nut that they sell. Once you have those two items the rest can be purchased from your local hardware store. This project was inspired by Brett Miles' Salamander rack Here...

Just completed the rack today. It swivel a little bit side to side. So, I'll put a cross bar in the back to make it steady. Total cost around $130 +/- $20 Here are some pictures: This thing is tall. It's 60 inches high yet I wish it was taller because it didnt fit all my equipments. I...

Now that you mentioned it, I notice the same thing with my sealed Tempest that I can locate it when it's playing. 2 of my friend came over to visit at different times, both says they can hear the sub playing from the corner. Maybe it's the placement thing?

I personaly use 12 gauge wire for internals and xover myself. Any 12awg from Homedepot or Ratshack would do. Since you only need a short length why not go for 12awg. I use the solder from Ratshack. The one that says silver core for fine electronics. I'm no pro, but heard good things about...

Got my 80/20 extrude aluminum cheap on ebay: here I got the #1020 1"x2" $13.50 for 56". Cheaper then I can get the 5/8 threaded rod for the flexy rack. I also got the T-nuts from them. Works out great. I was going to do the flexy but found out that I can do the extrude aluminum for cheaper.;)

Inspired by the rack that Bret Miles did. thread I'd like to build one. Does any one have a detail Bill of Material (BOM) to build one. I'm getting ready to order but don't know what nuts and bolts I need. Also a more detail picture or instructions would be nice. Thanks

It's in a tube. It's actually the same model as the ones Blue-Jeans cables are selling except this one is 14awg instead of 12awg BJ are selling. There is a 12awg shielded version for $.21/ft. Maybe I"ll just get that instead.

Thanks, I also found it in another thread. Link to wire gauge and length table: http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#wiretable FWIW: I found a source for ultra cheap (but nice) Belden 14AWG twisted pair speaker cables for $.10/ft. Yes, that's right, 10 penies per foot cut to any...

Would 14awg speaker cable good enough for 50ft rear surround speakers? Thanks I remember seeing a chart with gauge recommendation for certain lenghts. Anyone has that?

Is the 500W of this amp enough to drive a Tumult?

Tempest sealed mid-Q. My understanding is that PR are not great for music due to slow excursion/response time or something to that nature. (I'm no expert, just trying to remember what I've read when I did my research a year back)
