    Killer 6 inch.

    Do I see a pre order coming on these 6" drivers? Really, these would be perfect in an ML TQWT since the driver Sd determines the overall crossectional area. This would allow a small footprint 2 or even 3 way to have extraordinary bass. All the advantages of a TL in a small package. I...

    Refurb Denon Avr-3803

    I got my email too yesterday that my 3803 shipped-unfortunately with the holiday shipping to the west coast-UPS says 10 days to CA. Oh well. I think I was one of the last to get in at $648 shipped.

    Comments on DIY 5.1 system?

    I forgot about those sliver flutes till John mentioned them. They would also be an excellent choice-a bargain at their price. I haven't worked with them, but there are alot of impressed folks over on the MAD board using these. mark

    Comments on DIY 5.1 system?

    Here are my thoughts. First, you seem annoyed that folks are steering you towards a kit and you want to do it yourself. Point noted. Drivers-the Tagbands are reasonably nice, and will impress if your reference is bose or any similar size/consumer grade system. Nonetheless, in this price...

    Refurb quality????

    Hey Wayne, Did you happen to see if Costco had the 525? I let my membership expire but would renew for a good deal on a 525!

    Fry's HK Sale?

    I was at Fry's today-last year's HK's are on sale. The 525 was $499!! Unfortunately, they were sold out except the rather dinged up display model:angry: They're gone at outpost, so the supply may be drying up. Good luck.

    H&K vs. Denon vs. Yamaha

    Thanks Jeff, But what's with the $65 shipping charge. Anyway, it's out of stock there. I'll probably just get the 525 shipped from J&R for 598. I'm looking forward to this receiver:D

    AudioSource 80w 2 ch / 200w bridged?

    I have a couple of audiosource 2 amps. One is bridged and powering a sealed tempest and the other is used in a speaker test setup. They're solid amps especially if you can get them relatively cheaply.

    Finally took the plunge on the Philips 963sa DVD/SACD player...

    Hi Guys, I can't comment on the green strips, as I only run interlaced and probably will for the next year or so. I haven't noticed any other bugs except the lame "they sent me a region 2 player thing!" Philips authorized a return, but told me I might get a refurbished unit. That didn't...

    Help, I just got my Philips 963SA and's it's the wrong region

    Thanks Man-Fai I already called Philips and they are supposedly sending out a return authorization letter. After that, I can ship it back. And that's what I'll probably end up doing. As far as the hack, well, if I do it and screw up, well, try explaining that to Philips. Still, I'll end...

    Help, I just got my Philips 963SA and's it's the wrong region

    Just got it from J&R. It was set up for PAL and region 2. I got it changed to ntsc (believe me, not easy trying to follow OSM when the screen is rolling fast!!!) but I still can't play region one discs. Philips wants me to send it back, but that seems like a hassle. It's there an easy hack...

    Links or photo gallery for Adire alignment Tempest 214L

    Hi Brett, It's been a long time since I looked-it seems kinda corny now, but you can click on this link to see WAY too many picture on building a box. It's more or less according to the adire reference for a sealed sub, though I did take some liberties. I'm sure there are some other links in...

    beginner DIY speakers & sub

    Well, fwiw, I'm working on a project that uses a pair of m130's from Danny and they are quite good. I can't speak to the bass performance yet, but the mids are really quite good. Much better than atoms or titans. (I've got a pair of titans laying around somewhere-not bad, but the detail in the...

    Audio Source Amps One, Two and Three

    A 50wpc integrated receiver is likely not to have a decent amp section, even a good brand. Going to the audiosource would be a notable improvement. Better dynamics and clarity. That being said, I don't really disagree with Michael too much. It does get hot. But I don't really think it has a...
