Thanks Dean. I'll check that out.

I've got a HTS with a Yamaha RXV-1400 and a Screenplay 7200. I've had the system going for a few months now. In the last few weeks, we've noticed that the sound is lagging about a second behind the picture--which is REALLY annoying during dialogue. It's occurring on both Directv and DVD. Has...

Thanks, David. I don't have a camera handy, but can probably describe it fairly well. I've got 10 foot ceilings. There is a fairly elaborate piece of crown molding on the ceiling that hangs down about 10 inches or so and extends about three feet out from the wall. The center speaker is at the...

I bought a house from someone who had installed a 5.1 HTS. When he left, he took everything but the center channel speaker, which is buried inside some crown molding. It has an immovable grill in front. Unfortunately, I cannot tell exactly what type of speaker is in there and would need to rip...

Found both Trinity and Beyond and The Day After Trinity on Amazon.com. Looks like I'm going to be spending some money on DVDs this Spring.

Thanks everyone. I saw an amazing documentary back in the late 80s called (I think) "The Day After Trinity." It was largely a history of the Manhattan Project. The last five minutes or so were a series of nuke blasts. I wonder if this is the same documentary.

Thanks, Dustin.

No sub before. I got the PB2+ because (1) I have a fairly large room (6000 cubic feet, not including leakage), (2) I wanted low, low bass, (3) the extra money was not too big of an issue for me, (4) I didn't want to get a smaller SVS and spend the next couple of years wondering what I have left...

I just got my SVS PB2+ and, like the other happy owners here, I am amazed at how it shakes the house. I have not really taken it out for a true test drive yet, but look forward to doing so. I do have several questions: 1. I have one neighbor. His house is about 25 feet from my listening room...

I just bought a PB2+ and am hooking it up tomorrow. It seems to me that some nice high-quality nuclear explosions would really bring out the low bass. I've poked around with Google, but haven't found any high-quality recordings on the web. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can track down...

Thanks. James, I was planning to go with modified BIC America speakers all around. Earlier this week, I found out that the previous owners had left their Triad center channel speaker in the crown molding when they moved out. This means that I can (1) get four matching Triads, which will cost a...

I know that the general rule is to timbre match the front and center channel speakers. Obviously, the easiest way to do this is to match speaker brands and lines. However, if I want to mix and match speaker brands, how would I go about timbre matching? Do I need to do this qualitatively by...

Thanks. I have heard from others as well that this probably won't work because of the magnetic field and the vibrations. Oh well.

Hello all. I have a quick question. I am installing a home theater system with a front projector. The audio system will include an SVS box sub (either a PB1-Plus or a PB2-Plus). We will have a second tube television (19" or 27") that we will use when we are not using the front projector. The...

Thanks, Mark. I may end up having to go with in-ceiling rear speakers. I take it their in-ceilings are also good? Also, I'll be using the speakers primarily for home theater. Are triads best in HTS or when listening to music?
