    dangerous to let projector lamp burn out?

    I am not sure but it seems from reading the manual that my infocus 4805 projector just shuts the lamp off after 3000 hours whether it is actually burnt out or not. Is this a case of deteriorating image quality over time? or is it dangerous to let a lamp run after 3000 hours of use?

    Bone-crushing lowend requirements?

    sounds like you need transducers to me. if you're going with pure speakers then feeling the bass = listening to loud bass. either that or boosting really low frequencies that are below audible range, which would take some doing.

    Axiom vs. Bose

    i would definately use the large setting. i think anyone advocating the small setting didn't realise that you're not using any subwoofer. the m22s will not play much of the lowest bass, but it won't hurt them at all to use the large setting and it will definately give a better response than...

    Cinema EQ. (Cinema Equalizer) question?

    I don't usually use it. But once i did enable it on a very poorly made dolby digital track from the movie (im ashamed to say) tremors 4. it seemed to tame the excessive sss sounds in the treble.

    Paradigm Atom V.2 vs. V3

    i have v.2 atoms and v.3 titans. their woofers look to use the exact same material. my v.3 cc-170 does have the metal cones though. not sure why they would not match the driver material among v.3 cc-170 and titans.

    Subwoofer pushed too hard?

    more often than not, it is a wallboard or other lose item near the sub that's making the sound. you might try moving the sub away from that wall and playing at the same volume to see if the rattle goes away or is obviously coming from somewhere else. at moderate volume the sub wouldn't rattle...

    Recommendations for musical bookshelfs under $300

    axiom speakers are very neutral and sound very nice for music or anything else. m2i's go for $255 per pair. i think the m3ti's are a bit over 300 but will give better bass response without a subwoofer. energy is another canadian company known for neutral good speakers.

    Bright vs. Warm Receivers

    If a receiver was designed to be either warm or bright, the engineers would probably try to hide it in the specs. A significant frequency aberration isnt desirable to most people and engineers know better than to try and design their amps to give an uneven response. I would just stick to finding...

    What do you use to power your Rockets?

    i have a denon 1604 and its plenty of power for my axiom speakers. they're only 87 dB efficient but i can get up to any level i would listen at (ref level is achievable). seriously, i don't think you would even need to upgrade unless you like to listen REALLY loud.

    Why are Yamaha receivers considered bright?

    theres a lot of debate about amplifier sound. the only scientific tests i've heard about show they all sound the same with very few exceptions. i wouldnt believe that the yamaha is brighter than other amps.

    Sony SAWM40 question

    most people set the bass way too high when they calibrate by ear. it takes a while to get used to a calibrated setup. if you like more bass of course there's no problem with turning it up. a lot of people like to set their subwoofer 3 or 5 dB above the other speakers so they still get loud bass...

    Just got my denon 3803.. Now what?

    i have the denon 1604 and typically have the volume at -30 for tv and about -04 for movies. dolby reference volume is +08 for my setup. turning the receiver to -25 isn't a "high" volume to set it at. its only a high volume when you start getting a high volume from the speakers :) dont worry...

    Is Bose Any Good?

    bose is only good if your main priority is having small speakers, they do NOT sound good compared to same priced competitors.

    Amp rating and loudspeakers

    what is meant by clean power is that is can deliver the power without becoming audibly distorted. a good quality amplifier should deliver its rated power at a low distortion level. high current implies more wattage. a good amplifier will be able to deliver a higher current before its power...

    Slipshod way to calibrate a sub?

    heres a pretty good way: play some music that has a full frequency range, like rock music. turn up the sub until it is clearly audible over the other speakers. now turn it down until you can't tell its playing. that should get you at least in the ball park.

    Denon AVR 1604 and hissing issues

    hearing a hiss at 1 foot away is pretty common i think. i have the 1604 also and theres definately no hiss at listening position. but i have the treble flat. usually the tone controls are only used to try and even out a deficiency in the speaker. i doubt your speaker really needs it.

    Bookshelf speakers w/ Klipsch ProMedia Sub

    i ran a pair of paradigm atoms from my klipsch promedia sub for quite a while. worked very well :) just be careful if you hear distortion. im not sure if the amps are really 60W rms as advertised, but they were able to power my atoms loud and clear.

    Denon 3803 is clipping out...Why?? Please HELP!

    here's from denon's faq. 9) CAN I USE 4 OHM LOUDSPEAKERS WITH MY DENON RECEIVER OR POWER AMPLIFIER? Yes, you certainly can. To understand this a bit better, first realize that all amplifiers are designed to deliver a signal into an electrical "load" or resistance presented by the...

    My SVS16-46pc is rattling...usual suspects??

    just move the sub to another place and see if it still rattles the same way. its pretty common for the rattle to be from something else, even when it sounds like the sub is doing it.

    505 watt rms speaker system, hmmm - advice please

    logitech computer speakers are not bad for a multimedia speaker system. compared to actual seperate bookshelf speaker with an amplifier, they aren't so great. but for $199 i think its a pretty good deal. the amp probably isnt nearly as powerful as they say. i doubt that the specs are...
