    Buyer beware: Misleading Circuit City Monster Cables display

    At my local Circuit City (in Huntington beach, CA),they have 2 LCDs set up showing the difference in quality of the picture using Monster cables and using regular cables. Both displays are playing of a feed directly from an HDDVD of Shrek. The video on the left LCD (regular cables) looked...

    Another useless Bose innovation?

    its only $1699.99 for the tower , or $1,999.98 for tower&bassmodule. To put it into perspective, that's about the same price as buying a top-end Marshall head w/ 4x12spkr cabinet. They have these Bose systems at alot of the Guitar Centers. Anyone demoed them yet?

    Another useless Bose innovation?

    Bose is coming out w/ a system for musicians, thats suppose to replace PA systems, amps, monitors, and mixers. Not w/ cubes this time, but w/ tall cylinder speakers coupled with some more of their "bass modules". This thing is meant for LIVE concerts; its an interesting approach and does...

    Recomendations for Fronts in the $600 range?

    If there's a PSB dealer in your area, id highly recommend checking out their Image 5T or 6T tower speakers. They're $559 & $650 respectively(blemish prices) through www.dmc-electronics.com. I've gone there myself to listen to the 5T with rock and r&b music and was amazed at what these midpriced...

All ive noticed is that theres a scratch mark on the vinyl in a few areas mostly near the corners, many just a cm or two long. theres like...

    Buying first bookshelf speakers, need help!

    If you want the PSB 2B speakers, i would get them from www.dmc-electronics.com (one of HTF's sponsers) since they are PSB authorized dealers. They also have the blems for the $259 price. I live just a few blocks from their store and I've listend to them with rock music and it sounded fantastic...

    Confused about digital speakers ?

    Unless its Meridian or some other really high end brand, chances are if you see "digital speakers" labeled anywhere on the speaker or packaging, its one of those no-name brands that dont know what theyre talking about (ie. white van brands).

    New psb image series?

    Im not sure exactly, but i expect it would be in the same condition as the Yawaonline "B" stocks(minor scratches on grille or cabinet). The dealer i went to is DMC Electronics in Orange county, ca. They are an authorized PSB dealer, and they can ship to you if needed, but they dont have an...

    New psb image series?

    $499 for a 4T is actually about right, may actually be a little high. If that price is for a 5T though, it would be a good deal. My local dealer sells the PSB image 4T factory blemishes for $399 and 5T blemishes for $499.

    Impressions of the DLS 10 (long)

    Ive been playin around w/ mine for a week and love it. Upgraded from a 35watt Aiwa. Compared to that thing, the DLS might as well be a Mercedes! I'm also goin the Aura BassShaker route using the 'defective' DLS plate amp. muwahaha! Man i love Parts Express, theyre a Budget HTer's dream!

    First post. First question. About DLS sub.

    I just got my DLS sub today and I too experienced a similar bobbling sound during prolonged bass. I noticed it when i watched Monsters Inc. where Sullivan makes the girl laugh in their apartment, and she overloads the electricity in the building. It was downright scary. For a second i thought i...

    Any opinions of Monitor Audio and Paradigm Studio 20's vs Polk LSi7 and B&W 602's?

    I was at a MonitorAudio/PSB dealer last time to listen to the PSB Image 2Bs . I saw the MonitorAudio Bronze B2 spkr(last years model), but the dealer didnt have it hooked it up. I notice they use near identical drivers, and i think the tweeters were identical as well(except the MonitorAudio's...

    Music recommendations??

    Linkin Park - Reanimation DVD-Audio. Might not be everyone's cup o tea, but damn, it has some of the most impressive use of surrounds ive ever heard in a 5.1 mix. And loads of bass as well. It goes so low, it makes my crappy lil' Aiwa subwoofer sound like its just pushing air.

    Bookshelf Speakers - Best all-around value?

    Oh bytheway if you want to go the ultra compact spkrs route, definitly check out the PSB Alpha Intro's. They sport 3 1/2" woofers instead of the 2 1/2" on the HTD's. available in white 4.25x6.75x6.25" for the LR (1 woofer, 1 tweeter) MSRP $199/pair 4.25x9.75x6.25" for the CLR (2...

    Biwiring on bookshelf speakers

    I'm stuck in deciding between getting the PSB Image 2b & Monitor Audio bronze 2. The Monitor Audio is biwireable but the PSB is not. Should that be a factor in deciding which bookshelf to get? I noticed that the PSB Image and Monitor Audio Bronze bookshelves have identical looking drivers &...

    SACD,DVD-A DEAD due to analogue outs?

    Damn, so much talk about khz this and khz that. Lets talk logically for a second. The way i look at DVD-A is even if DVD-A quality has no noticeably better fidelity than a CD, it would have a cleaner sound anyways. My theory is that 2 speakers would have more of a burden producing clean textured...

    Thoughts on budget PSB 5.1 setup

    Sounds like an awesome budget system to me. I auditioned the PSB 2B's in a larger room than yours and i was very impressed by the sound and how well it filled up the room. Be sure to include speaker stands in your budget too. You might want to audition Monitor Audio Bronze series speakers too...

    Best bookshelves for ~$300

    I need a couple bookshelf speakers for around 300. Bass isnt too important as long as it has decent upper bass, and good midrange/highs. My room is about 15x15 ft.I need something for both movies and music. Ive been considering Paradigm Mini's and PSB Image 2b's. All also thought of NHT...
