I have a Yamaha 995 receiver that has an A and B set of speakers. I use this receiver as a pre-amp so everything is wired at the amp. If I were to select the 'B' on the front of the receiver and have speakers hooked up to the back of the receiver does this pose a a strain on the amp or the...

I just got an SVS last week and absolutely love it. I have it set to auto like my previous sub. For some reason, the sub doesn't kick on unless there is a huge amount of bass like from a dvd. If I'm watching television or playing a video game it will shut off even if I'm watching a music channel...

I just received my subwoofer yesterday. The 20-39 PCI model. It is so big it looks like a water heater. It sounds pretty good but know it would be better if properly calibrated. All my speakers are calibrated throuh AVIA but when it comes to sub calibration I'm at a total loss on how to do it...

I want to use my RatShack device to calibrate my speakers but I'm not sure I can adjust my speaker levels. I have a Yammy 995. It won't allow me to adjust the MAINS. Only the surrounds and sub. Any suggestions?

I have a humming noise when my amp is turned on. Its a parasound 855 5ch. amp. What do I need to do to rid of this? Or is this something I have to live with?

I just purchased a Parasound HCA-855 from E-bay for $306.00. Quite a steal I thought. I'm using a Yamaha 995 as my pre-amp and am using the pre-outs on the back of the receiver running to the amp with acoustic research interconnects. Now, I was really excited by my new venture into seperates...

I attended CES and got a brochure but didn't get a chance to ask them when it was scheduled out. Anyone have this information? Thanks.

I don't know what the model number is but I know a guy that wants to sell his 1 year old SONY WEGA XBR for $1200. Its a 36".. I currently have a Toshiba 36" would it be that much better? Seems like a real good deal. I'm mostly interested because it might do the squeeze trick. anyone know?

I have a 36" Toshiba direct view and was wondering if the new sony xbr 4:3 tv's are worth the upgrade. I'm wondering mostly if the ability to view anamophic widescreen is really any good on these sets. How would i get the full 16:9 image on a 4:3 set?

Its rare these days that you find such great service from a company. I bought a pair of used Paradigm Studio 40's a few weeks ago and as some of you know one of the speakers just didn't sound right. Mike (I believe that is his name) first sent me a replacement tweeter to see if that fixed the...

I recently purchased these speakers and one speaker is a lot louder than the other. Also one sounds better. I thought it was the tweeter. I replaced it and it still sounds the same. I thought it was the tweeter because the treble sounds somewhat distorted and sounds very harsh as compared to...

One of my new paradigm speakers are noticeably louder than the other. My receiver doesn't allow me to adjust left and right mains. How do I compensate, the balance control? And if so doesn't the balance control than affect my center speaker?

I just received my paradigm 40 speakers in the mail today. They were packed very well. I bought them from Link Removed Cosmetically they look brand spankin' new with not a scratch on them. But when I hooked them up I noticed that the right speaker was audibly different from the left. Not...

Ok. I'm in an apartment. What is the best way to hide the speaker wire going to your surrounds? I could run them underneath the carpet but eventually the wire has to come out and meet the speaker. The problem is that the wire will be coming out by the sliding glass door so I can see the gf...

This never really bothered me before because I didn't have to play movies at lower volumes. I have to now because I'm in an apartment. It seems that when playing DVD movies at a low volume its hard to hear dialogue so I have to turn it up. Then when an action sequence comes on or music starts...

I'm really wanting to upgrade my components. I just upgraded my mains and surrounds but something is still lacking. I really want a widescreen television but the only RPTV that looks that good to me is the Pioneer Elite's which I don't know If I want to spend over $5000 on a television when...

Can one center channel be used for the rear like the one in the front or does it have to be two more speakers for the rear?

I just purchased a pair of these from the stereo trading outlet. I currently have the 20's. What kind of improvement can I expect? I'm moving the 20's to the rear.

I'm looking for still shots of a scene in a movie or a portrait of a particular actor preferably b/w to frame and put on wall. I found some at art.com Thanks!

I'm thinking of buying a five channel amp from Rotel or Outlaw. I currently have a 100 x 5 Yamaha receiver and debating on whether their would be much improvement by adding external amplification. I have seen a couple used Rotel's (100x5) for around $400. I am an apartment dweller so its not...

Title says it all. There are two versions of this 5 channel amp. I have the chance to get the non mkII version very cheap and wondering if its a good amp. I would like to have the big brother 1095 but i'm an apartment dweller right now. Just want to improve sound quality over my Yammy...

I'm looking for speaker stands that are higher 45" or higher. I have found a pair at audio advisor that is adjustable to 48" and can be sand filled. However, the weight limit says 15lbs and my studio 20's are 28 lbs. a piece I think. I don't have the wall space so I have to have the tallest...

Hello. I'm getting the upgrade itch. I am pondering on whether to upgrade my Yammy 995 to one of these newer Denon receivers or just adding external amplification. I was thinking along the lines of the Outlaw 750. I am an apartment dweller so I don't know if adding an external amp will...

Up until now I have not seen a place sell paradigm speakers online. Has Anyone ever ordered from this place?

What is the difference between these two HD-Ready rear projection televisions? Is the price difference worth it?
