I apologize for my misinformation. Thanks for teaching me something. MM

cool site

The Zenith set, as I understand it, has the capability to pick up over the air HD broadcasts with a HD antenna. There is no such thing as a "built-in" digital cable box. The "built-in" tuner that you are referring to is an HD capable over the air tuner. I'm not familiar with the specs of this...

Thanks for the info guys. I will be going to a local guy in the next few days who is going to pull the doors apart and take a look at everything. I don't remember the link exactly (I'll look for it) but I have seen pictures of 6.5's in the fronts that were fit in the original cut outs. I'm...

Thanks Chris. What I meant by that was: Is the difference in sound between the receivers themselves that audible? Sorry for the poorly worded question. I am just wondering if I will really notice the sound difference between the two receivers (the Alpine and the JVC) considering that I will be...

I second that Sean. Great post, very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for the great leads Scott. I am not familiar with Focal at all but, from what I've read, they seem to get pretty good reviews. I will be looking for a place in my area to listen to them in the next few days. About that Fosgate amp, I keep running into the 501X on ebay and its specs are...

Hey James, did you have to go listen to that or did you know it by heart? Either way, Impressive, very impressive!

Hello everyone. I thought I'd give this new area a try. I am somewhat of a novice with regards to the car audio scene so maybe someone can help me. I have roughly (give or take fifty bucks) $600 to spend on a system for my 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I want something musical and strong sounding...

No freakin way!!! You can't be serious :eek: The most I have been able to do is get the occasional picture to fall of the wall, and beleive me, there is hell to pay when that happens! Maybe it's time for an upgrade eh? :p)

Shouldn't this thread be elsewhere???

Hey John, I would highly reccomend auditioning the S36's and the S38's together if at all possible. There is a significant diference in these two speakers. The cabinets of the S38's are much bigger, squared off and made of wood vs. a smaller, plastic eliptical cabinet in the S36's. IMO, both...

Check out this site. http://www.harmanaudio.com I believe this is the site that Scott is referring to. I have purchased other items (speakers and the like) from this site and have never had a single problem. I believe this is actually a Harman source for refurbs. In any case, they are authorized...

I do not think that I notice a change in the sound as I didn't discover the very small push in until I took off the screen to clean. Then again, if it has been like this for a long time, then I may just be use to it. The tape idea is difficult to implement with these speakers because there is a...

Good for you Daniel. I agree with Lew that if the Klipsch speakers sound the best to you then that's what you should go with. What did you do for a receiver or have you made that purchase/choice yet?

I just noticed a small dent/ push-in on one of the titanium dome tweeters in my JBL S 312's. It's not really that big of a deal but it has bugged me all day. I don't really know how long it has been there so I really don't think it is affecting the sound quality and I keep the screens on so you...

Home Theater Master MX 500!!! It is, hands down, the best $120.00 I have ever spent on my HT. I have the DA4ES and I love the receiver, HATE the remote. The MX 500 can do just about anything you need it too for your HT. You can assign macros to just about all of your buttons if you want. I hold...

Hello Hank, I find myself in a very similar position. I have the S 312's with an S Center II and I run them off of a Sony DA4ES. I am also interested in an amp for my towers. I think the main thing to consider here is what are you hoping to achieve. If you are looking for more detail and power...

Hello Jorge, I agree with John. I own the PB12 and am very happy with its performance so far. I have owned it for about a year now and I purchased it when the amp problems were at their peak. I did get a dud on the first try but I had it sent back and JBL contacted me through the BB where I...

Hey Stevie, No florescent lighting around. I think you are right about the Sony just amplifying normal FM noise more cleanly. It sounds like the stations are right next door (a few of them actually are right around the corner!). I just don't know how to clean this up. I'm afraid an outside...

I agree Jeff, for the $1000 (or so) bucks that BB wants you can certainly get more speaker anyway. I actually bought my 312's direct from Harman (refurbs but you would never know it) for $450 for the pair shipped w/ full warranty. I can't find a mark on them and they sound killer so keep that in...

Jeff, Did you actually get the S312's??? If so, WOW! Your wife is cool. I bought those same speakers when my girlfriend was out of town for a week. I figured, even if she was totally against them, at least I would have them for a week! Really just kidding around. She actually really likes...

Tell the truth, are you going to bill him for the time it took you to write this thread??? :D And, can you do this to mine??? :laugh: MM

Hello all, Quick question. I have a Sony DA4ES and I am having a hell of a time with the "noise" from the tuner. Not all stations or all songs but enough to disturb me. Will a better antennae help with this? I'm not really talking about static. If anything, it's as though the channels are...

I demoed the H/K for about three weeks. I really liked the sound and look of this receiver but I really disliked the fan and the remote. I had the receiver on an open top shelf with plenty of room (more than six inches) on each side. The receiver ran pretty warm but I wouldn't call it "hot" and...

As far as the remote is concerned, I just couldn't take it. I just got a Home Theater Master MX-500 and I can't begin to tell you how much more I am enjoying my set up. The remote with the DA4ES even made it difficult to teach commands to my new remote but I am finally done (for now). It's my...

Hey Dave, as far as I know, E-tronics is NOT an authorized H/K dealer. If you're in the market for H/K, check out One Call. They have killer deals on refurbs (the 525 for about $520 and the 325 for $400). The return policy kind of stinks but you have a full warranty with them through Harman. I...

Mark, I have a DA4ES and I notice a distinct improvement in sound quality over my older Pioneer VSX-D508. IMHO, I think it has to do with a more accurate power rating. My Analog Direct mode on my new DA4ES is way superior to the analog direct mode on the older receiver. Granted, I am comparing a...

Thanks everyone. I have two days to wait. I wonder why Sony did such a lousy job on the remote with the DA4ES. I mean, you can tell it's bad from the start. It doesn't have any numeric buttons at all and there is no learning capability. It has next to 0 options in its sub menu when it comes to...

Also, one more quick question. As to the "favorite channels" pages on the MX-500, I notice that your website and one other that I've seen say that you can set up to 50 of your favorite channels but if there are only two pages reserved for that and each page fits 10, then how can that be or is...
