Hello all. Well Im currently in my 2nd house where I planned to stay for another few years(Ive been in for 4). But now the wife and I are thinking now might be the time to move into our 3rd and final home as the rates are so great right now. The problem is I just finished the house. It was...

Just wondering what could be causing this: When Im adjusting the volume through the mid to upper ranges on my Integra(Energy speakers) reciever, I hear slight static pops through each db increment especially if i go up or down rapidly through the middle range of the volume dial. Kinda like "fft...

Just wondering if you can paint the threaded rod and washer/nut hardware before assembly without having trouble getting the nuts on or chipping the paint on the threaded rods...thanks! Also is there a anti-vibration advantage to using MFD as opposed to plywood??

Hey guys, well Im going to order either the Panamax 4300 or the Tripplite Isobar6DBS tonight and just wanted to know if there was any reason to spend the extra dough on the Panamax. The Tripplite is about 60 with the Panamax about double or so, with the only obvious advantage being a...

Well I may just be crazy but Im considering selling my classic Mustang(67'fastback). Ive had the car 5 years now, but 2 children in my life now have really changed my thinking alot. Its a show quality car and all last summer I kept it covered damn near all the time. My kids are 1 and 2 so you...

freep.com Well, it looks pretty awesome to me! The actual newspaper today had 3 pics of it. More retro front end then current models, but overall a nice, sleek modern design. Cant wait to see it in person at the Auto Show... I got a 67' fastback that might have a for sale sign on it very...

Well, I finally broke down today and took the trip over the border to Windsor. Got a killer deal on the C5s !(I dont know if the store made 10 bucks on this one!) Anyway, currently Im running the Energy Take 5.2, so these are my new fronts. I just got them hooked up to my Integra, so havent...

Got my HD box today!! Its awesome!! A couple questions though. My box has the latest firmware update as it has the 4:3 override in effect. I choose 480I over 480P for this option as it appears to make the analog channels look better. Now, onto HD. HBO HD, Showtime HD, and PBS look killer, my...

Well, Im getting hooked-up early next week and have some questions: 1. Did Comcast provide dig. coax or optical for audio, or am I on my own... 2. I was going to switch component video through my reciever(Integra). Does the reciever just pass through what ever signal it gets, or does the...

First let me say I love this game so far(x-box), the graphics rule, and its very close to real hockey.. But... I can hardly score in this game! Ive just been playing the computer for about a week, using all default settings and I swear every game is 1-0, or 2-1... What ever happened to the ol'...

Just a simple question, does the convergence have to be done on every input, ( HD1, HD2, Video 1,2 ....) or can I do it on one, and cycle the grid through the various inputs, or what?! What about pic sizes, can I cycle through those for each input?? Any help would be great, guys!

Hey all, called Comcast today to set up for a HD installation in mid-December. The lady told me they would offer ABC, NBC, PBS, SHOWTIME HD, HBO HD. The first 3 coming free and of course, the the other two as part of a movie package. For those of you with Comcast HD, how is it? What about...

Hey guys, my wife bought me NHL2003 for x-box for my birthday and Im wondering if I should just go ahead and play it, or wait for NHL 2K3 instead?? I havent played any hockey games since the days of Sega 95 so Im not used to any of them. Based on previous years, which one offers the most...

Hello again gentlemen, should I have all HD formats enabled on the X-box set-up screen (480, 720, 1080) or just 1 or 2 or what? Im using a Toshiba 50h81 HD widescreen(last years model) Thanks again, Mike:D

Well, I cant figure out how to turn this game off?!! Short of just turning off the console power in mid-game, I cant find anything in the options menu to shut off/restart the game. Any help out there? Thanks again guys, Mike:D

Well, went out and got X-box the other day and have just been getting ripped to no end by my PS2 buddies at work. I have an HD widescreen(Tosh 50h81) and surround sound, and from what I researched, the X-box supports these way better than PS2. So far Ive played a few hours of Silent Hill 2...

Hey guys, just bought X-box and a copy of SH2. In the x-box set up screen, I enabled DD and DTS. In the SH2 set up screen it only lets you choose mono or stereo so I picked stereo. I bought the Hi-Def A/V pack for X-box, which is basically component cables with L/R audio, which I have plugged...

Just thinking about upgrading the front on my Take 5.2 system. There is a nice eXL-150 bookshelf on the Energy site, as well as the new C-1 or C-3 bookshelfs. Both are aluminum dome tweeters. Any suggestions?

Hello all, when I load a page on the net, the page will load up fine BUT, I cant highlight or click on anything for about 10-15 seconds. Im using internet explorer with Windows Me. Also, Im using DSL by Ameritech, but this problem was still existant even with dial-up. I cant even use the...

Hey all, running an Energy Take 5.2 set with a Integra 5.3 receiver. First question: The Integra has adjustable x-over (80,100,120). What difference then does it make if you choose Large or Small in the set-up menu for speakers since you can set your own x-over. Second : Why does the...

Well, the threads about the 600s power got me thinking, so I returned to CC. Picked up an Integra 5.3 for only 540.00. So far (1 day) my observations are: The Integra has the same remote, but all backlit. Its also multi room capable. The gold connectors are very nice. Im running Energy take...

Well, its been a month with no receiver as I took back my Onkyo 595 to get a new 600. After some research on Integra, I would like to get the new 5.3 but my local dealers tell it is still a few weeks or so away. I would like to know if the wait is worth it, or do I just go ahead and get the...

Anyone heard if the latest x.3 Integras have arrived? Was going to get an Onkyo but Ive decided on the Integra instead and its hard to get any info from dealers... Mike

Lookout NHL!! Well, were gettin pretty pumped-up here in hockeytown, as Bowman is getting ready to hit full throttle on the boys!! Really the only stumbling block I see is Colorado, but now that we finally have a great goalie ourselves, look out!! This team might go down as one of the greatest...

Will going from my Energy Take 5.2 to towers finally make me happy?? Ive just found the Energys to be lacking some musically. I was looking at the PSB Image 4T, 8C center, and PSB Alpha Intro l/r rears. Any thoughts on PSB? Would Paradigms be better? Will 5 channel surround modes be fine...

Hello, after having this fine sub/sat system for a couple months I am finding myself wanted a little more punch and midrange for 2 channel listening. I have all 4 sats wall mounted about 6 feet high on brackets, and Im wondering if taking the front two down and putting them on stands and moving...

Hey guys, have the Onkyo 595 powering the Energy Take 5.2 set. While things sound alright, I cant help but think the Energys can take alot more than the Onkyo is dishing out. Ive been about 50/50 with movies and music, and finding myself more critcal about the sound than I thought I would be:)...

Im getting some hiss through my Energy Take 5.2 speakers when playing a CD through my Panny RP56. Its not bad, but certainly noticable. I have the Panny connected to the Onkyo with an Acoustic Research pro series optical to the OPT 1 port on the Onkyo (DVD on the input selector). Now, when I...
