    svs - difference between amps...

    I don't see too much of a difference other than my amp is capable of more and has an EQ built in. Specs on my amp: POWER 90dB, Clip LED and 10dB Pad, Volume, Tuning Mute VOICING FILTER: Adjustable Bottom, Contour, and Presence EQUALIZER: Series Four Band Active. OUTPUT: Boost 1 and...

    svs - difference between amps...

    There's plenty of bass. if I turn up the Yamaha too much then it will make the sub bottom out. I'm not sure that I agree with you on the bass amp reply though. This is a pro amp akin to the sampson, only it has much more power. It is used to power a large speaker or two. I'm not sure but I...

    svs - difference between amps...

    I have an Svs 20-39 which I absolutely love. I was thinking about getting the sampson amp to drive it. Right now I am using my 10 yr Yamaha 100W amp. Currently the volume on the sub amp (Yammie) is maybe 35-40% of full up. The lfe output level on my digital receiver is set to -18 of 20 which...

    Data Projector for starter HT? LP 260

    I have an LT-150 that I paid $2250. It's a great product. I can't comment on the LP260 but during my weeks of research I determined that the 150 was the best proj I could get for under 5K. Data projectors can work if you pick the right one. If you need more info check out avsforum.com and...

    Phantom Menace is OUT (part 2)

    "Chad, don't waste your time. I was just there (in Bloomington) and the two clerks working there said they didn't have it and if they did they couldn't sell it until the 16th. Dammit!!!!!" I think going at night is key to this issue because it worked for me, my brother and his friend on...

    Phantom Menace is OUT (part 2)

    I just found a copy at my local Mart in Bloomington, MN off of 494. I stood around the DVD shelf and a clerk asked if I needed help and I said I was looking for TPM. The clerk said she didn't think it was out yet and I asked her to check in back. About five minutes later she came out with a...

    Why the SVS 20-39?

    My Husband's So?? Well being from Utah and all :-) I guess I forgot to erase Husband. I was thinking it might be more hip if I just said SO. That way y'all might not know what to think - SO could be anybody man, two men, woman etc... I guess I figured I get less help if you knew I was...

    Why the SVS 20-39?

    I have read the faq. I think my taste and my husbands SO's taste in music requires more extension. We listen to much classical, organ, and ethnic music with lot's of drums. Wouldn't the extra extension of the 16-46 be necessary? Or do you think the 16-46 is overkill? Will the the 20-39 do...

    Why the SVS 20-39?

    I'll be ordering a svs sub very soon but I was thinking about the 16-46. It's only a few dollars more yet the 20-39 seems to be more popular. Isn't deeper or at least the ability to go deeper better? Cheers, Petunia

    What compares to SVS 16-46

    I have decided that I want the SVS 16-46 based on the reviews here and on AVS. I just got my Fed Rebate check yesterday so I am ready to buy. :-) I am wondering what sub should I be able to find at a local store to feel what the SVS will do to me? What compares? Thanks!

    Sub or speakers?

    The system is primarily a HT set up with some music (mostly classical, jazz and ethnic). When I am talking about upgrading in waves I mean I'll buy something today or tomorrow and then the other in the begining-mid of Oct so it's not a long wait. I used to think I had an awesome system for...

    Sub or speakers?

    I still have the old Yammie. Is that enough to power a sub? I also have the idea to move to old stereo my bedroom where I jsut have a boombox now. It's always easier to get ready in the morning with the tunes going. I've been leaning towards getting the sub and have read that my old receiver...

    Has Universal returned your JP DVD yet?

    I sent in my old WS DTS ver of Jurassic Park a few weeks ago. I'm babysitting my nephew this weekend and he's already requested to watch "the dinosaur movie" on the big screen... Has any received their "corrected" copy yet? Anyone have any idea how long this will take? Cheers, petunia

    Hi Guys, I'm new to this list but have been lurking for a couple of weeks. I've been thinking about getting a front projection system for my house. I've checked out the projectorpeople website (which is great BTW) and almost bought that Toshiba MT7 for 5K. However, recently I've been reading...

    Surround Speakers

    Thanks for the reply. My name isn't so special. My last name is Petalucci and for most of my life (I'm 29) people have been calling me Petunia. I have a sub, (Yamaha YST-100)it's old but it's the least of my worries now. So maybe I'll go for the package deal at Norh. I just got my fed refund...

    Hi Guys, I'm new to the list. I've been lurking for about two weeks now and this is my first post. I recently won a Yamaha 5.1 DTS receiver at my company picnic. I never been much into home theater but I've had a Dolby surround sound set up in my living room for the past ten years. I know the...
