My ideal dolby atmos setup would be using this Denon receiver and adding a few more speakers to my system (i currently run 5.1)

What is the brand name for the $20 switch?

I checked out the Matinee chairs last week. Very comfortable, but outrageously priced. $1600 Canadian minimum per chair in leather. High end micro fiber is $900 per chair, but leather is so much more durable. The power recline is also a nice option as it allows you to have the leg support at...

Very nice HT. Question for you - how did you make your "material wall". I am thinking of doing something similar, but I am having a hard time planning the seams around the corner of the screen.

I would go with J & R if I were you. I purchased a HK Amp from them a few years ago and more recently (last December) a receiver (avr320) and they came close to matching etronics price on the receiver (they would not match it dollar for dollar as etronics is not an authorized HK dealer). I am in...

Hey, Anyone know if there is much of an advantage going with the 1124 model over the 1100 model Behringer Feedback Destroyer? All I could find on the net is that "Also note that the DSP-1124 is an upgraded version of the 1100 with the differences being a 24 bit AD/DA converter in the 1124."...

KEF got around the whole "laying on its side" problem when they designed their Q series speakers. The tweeter is housed in the centre of the woofer.

Hi Yousaf, You might want to check out my amp on the "For Sale" section of this forum: Harman Kardon PA-5800 5 Channel Amp It is spec'ed at 5 x 80 Watts, but HK is noted for being very conservative with their power ratings. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.

No problems with J&R from me. I ordered an amp from them 2 years ago, and when it arrived it had some really bad transformer hum. Called them, got an RMA, they paid for all shipping charges and sent me a replacement prior to having received the returned original. I recently ordered a...

Hi Chris, I have an older Q series setup that I purchased 4 years ago, and I can assure you that you won't be disspointed. My speakers are equally adept at music and HT. I auditioned them against similarily priced B&W's and Mission speakers, and there was no contest. A really nice feature of...

Kef Q35 mains Kef Q95C Centre B&W DM110 rears DefTech ProSub100 I am searching for a pair of used Q15's for rears, but so far no luck. Also, I have recently moved from a condop to a house (with a basement my wife gladly let me camandeer as a HT - yay!). I might need to upgrade my sub...

I have read differing opinions on this on this and other forums. When calibrating, should you: (a) set your receiver to a positive gain number and then dial in the proper gain with your sub volume knob? (b) set your receiver to a negative gain number and then dial in the proper gain with...

A few people have emailed me for specs on this amp. Here they are: SPECIFICATIONS: Power Output : 5 x 80 watts @ 8 ohms Output 4 Ohms : 5 x 110 watts High Instantaneous Current Capability (HCC) : +/-73 Amps Frequency Response : 0.22Hz - 160kHz -3dB at 1 watt Total Harmonic...

One owner - I have been using this as a power amp running from my receiver pre-outs. Has been in use for 3 years in a condo, so it has never been pushed hard (I needed to maintain the peace with my neighbors). Cosmetically and sonically perfect - no scratches or blemishes. Includes original...

Why do they keep screwing around with sound levels in different movies? You would think everyone would want to maintain some sort of consistency. Did they record it too loud so that they could say "mine goes to 11"?

Oops - I almost forgot that I too did some DTS testing with LOTR last night. I programmed my DVD player to continuously play the sequence where Saruman orders the Orcs to knock all the trees down. I then switched between DD and DTS every time the sequence restarted. I found that DTS seems to be...

Hmmmmm - let me try to understand this.... With a setting of L+R - large crossover 60Hz Rears & Center Small ...the AVR320 sends full range signal to mains, but cuts all low frequency below 60Hz to SMALL speakers and reroutes to sub? In other words, the AVR320 only uses both high...

I tested my newly acquired AVR320 last night using the AVIA test tones (low frequency sweep tones). Experiment set-up: I set my main speakers to LARGE with crossover at 60Hz (Sub set to LFE + L/R) and center and surrounds set to SMALL. For this experiment, I unplugged my sub so that I could...

Hi Boris, Yes, I considered the Q1, but I am not sure they would be a perfect match for my Q35's. I think they changed the woofer driver and possibly the tweeter since the QX5 series...

Looking for a pair of functional (no need for perfect cosmetics) first generation Q15's to complete my HT. I have a pair of Q35's for mains and a Q95C for centre, but my B&W bookshelf (DM110) are a poor match. I have been looking on Ebay for ages, but no luck. Please email me at...
