If it's a load bearing wall, it may be a bad idea to install a box unless it is properly braced. If it's not a load bearing wall, no problem.
One other option is to install a false wall at the front of the room. then you can configure the speakers without worrying about where the current...
That is one of the strong suits of this show, nobody is all good or all bad. As to Pete, I see where you are coming from, but I can't seem to relate. He is just too petulant and entitled for me to actually like him. He is also insecure and under-appreciated, so I guess that is where his...
I had the exact opposite feeling. I was really happy for Alicia, finally being able to cut the cord once and for all, so she can get on with her life.
That scene was the perfect reveal of Peter's true nature. And guess what Alicia, it's all about Peter! Instead of him having empathy, and...
If it were me, I'd spend less on the Receiver and more on the speakers. $500 on the Receiver, $500 on the Sub and $1000 on the speakers. The more you can spend on the speakers, the better sound you will get.
Don't rely on reviews .. get out there and listen. Speakers are very different (even...
You do realize that AV123 was shut down due to fraud charges being brought against the owner? Not the best comparison to make, unless, of course, the owner moved to Sweden to avoid jail ..... then it would make sense.
I had a similar experience. I used computer speakers which already have built-in power and volume/tone controls.
A second option is to use headphones with a volume control on the wire ....
Your front and rear speakers are a good match with the same tweeter being used in each. However, the center channel uses a completely different tweeter. You may wish to contact them and find out which center they recommend to be the best match to that set of front speakers. Another option is...
When mounting a TV high up, the best advice I can give is to buy yourself a recliner to watch tv, otherwise you will be constantly complaining of neck pain. In addition, you should get a bracket that will allow the TV to be angled downward (and set back to plumb when done viewing) so that your...
A good receiver choice is:

There are models above and below if you need more or less power/features.
As to speakers, I would look at GoldenEar, perhaps small towers in the front and on-walls for the rears (or...
A compact but powerful main or center speaker, the Newton MC300 uses two 4-inch midrange drivers and a 1-inch reinforced silk dome tweeter. The MTM (Midrange-Tweeter-Midrange) design produces a robust, wide-range, well-dispersed output with outstanding musical accuracy. These speakers are very...
Odd Take: The aliens were gods/angels and Kip was their 'only begotten son'. They watched over him and made sure he and his offspring continued ... and eventually taken back to 'heaven' to live forever. So much religious symbolism surrounding the story, and none of the 'official' religious...
Very interesting couple of scenes. Alicia handled it poorly by going to Diane with the canned Thank You speech, betraying the internal negativity. What she should have done was thank all the partners, leaving Diane for last, thanking her for the good advice NOT the offer. In effect, she had...
For the uninformed, would you be so kind as to be more specific in regards to the Grace Lee Whitney and Gates McFadden rumors? Enquiring minds want to know!
Brand new, in the factory sealed box, this DVD player is the last of it’s kind: It has the original software (ship date: May 2004) which allows copy-protected upscaling of DVDs to 1080i or 720p over either the Component or DVI output. This capability was removed from all upscaling players...
Would like to see this same info in a slightly different format, i.e.: Each chart is a day of the week. Vertical axis shows the network, horizontal axis shows the time-slots. A Tivo-esque format, if you will.
Used for a number of years then stored for many years, these speakers are in nearly-new condition. Their wonderfully smooth and non-fatiguing sound allows you to listen for hours without the typical ‘listener fatigue’ that plagues so many speakers. These Mission speakers epitomize the...
IMO, what you need to do is to put the big couch closer to the tv, then have separate seating around the fireplace ... effectively creating two spaces within one. You can refer to the second seating area as the Barry White Room ... :D
Alternatively, you could put the tv, etc on the wall...
This amp is a sonic wonder. Lots of power without the typical harshness. It can be used as a stereo amp at 80 watts per channel, or bridged to mono for 200 watts. Employ it as a stand-alone amp, or as an add-on amp for speakers in another room, on the patio, or bridged to power a passive...
So Widmore and Ellie are a couple of gun totin' military hard-asses on the island together. Hmmmmmm ... Did they get together? Oh the possibilities .....
Try hooking up the rear speaker output to the front speakers. If you get nice sound than it is probably faulty front channels and you will need to get a new head unit. If you connect the front channels to the rear speakers and they sound fine .... well, maybe there is a speaker wire problem in...
If the opportunity for a feature film develops, I hope that the Telepath War is NOT the theme. I just don't see that as a possible commercial success. The only part of the telepath arc that really interests me is the Lyta/Garibaldi transaction and the personal story of each of them after...
You may want to look into the Oppo 980 as opposed to the 981. The 981 has issues with certain displays which can lead to macro-blocking. I would email Oppo and get their opinion before proceeding. If you are going to go Klipsch, you may want to avoid "bright" receivers like the Onkyo or...
Cambridge Soundworks are very easy on the ears. Like you, I cannot listen to Klipsch, sounds too much like fingernails on a chalkboard to me! If I may ask, what electronics are you driving the speakers with?
If you are interested in keeping the speakers small, try orbaudio.com. If you can go a bit larger, and assuming you enjoyed the sound of the Cambridge speakers, you can get some of their new line of Newton speakers. Try 3 of the 300s or the 150's are almost as good and cheaper. Similar sound...
Joe, Thanks for the Lyta pics (he says with a red face after misspelling her name)! I had just finished perusing the pics you linked and well .... I wasn't really thinking clearly! But, amends are being made .... Amazon has informed me that my copy of Lost Tails (sic) is in the mail...
