Head to Lowe's and pick up some 40' white garden extension cords. Use the green and white wires for your positive speaker connection and the black wire for your negative connection. The power cables are manufactured by Woods and is sold under the Utilitech brand - and you can usually see it on...
Lance, The cabinet in the 12 "HO" seems like a mix of plastic and MDF - with an outer rubber coating. I removed the plate amp from the back of the subwoofer just to check out the construction. The cabinet does have a single brace horizontally mounted inside the cabinet and made from MDF...
I purchased the "HO" sub and then ended up selling it locally. I was one who paid just a bit over $200 for it, but the shipping to RMA it as a return would have killed me (3,000 miles)!. I didn't like the sub at all. It was very hard to integrate so I could use it for music listening. It just...
Phil, I had a few on Craigslist. If the 509 doesn't work out, give me a shout. I have a minty H/K AVR-310 with remote and manual. My price range is more towards your "shipped" price, but the receiver is most excellent. I'm local - Northern Va.
By posting your question towards BB or CC, I'm assuming that you have some kind of budget in mind as to what you'd like to spend. If that's the case, I wouldn't overlook the used market for gear. If you don't require the latest video switching capabilities to be built into your receiver, opt for...
That's quite a good price - actually, I mean it's a GREAT price. I was toying around with their shipping rates. If you purchase one speaker individually, the shipping came up for me at $18.##. When I added a 2nd one, the shipping went to $56.##. When I added a 3rd speaker, the shipping jumped to...
Horn and ribbons, when it comes to tweeters are quite different. I'm sure the ribbons in the HTD speakers wouldn't be all that bad if someone were to spend a bit of time tweaking the crossover. The HSU speakers have received some mixed reviews. However, with almost any Internet speaker vendor...
To my ears, the upper frequencies were too recessed with these speakers. I don't desire a bright speaker, but I do appreciate detail so that I can hear the music clearly. With the HTD Level 3s, the sound was a bit too muffled for my ears. Instead, I opted for the Infinity Beta 20s and C360...
I have the $29 special pair of Creative Labs ear buds. That was retail price, too. You can find them for less on the Web. The sound is quite good, as the reviews suggest, with my Sonos player. Enjoy!
No, you're not the only one. Right now, the sound for my DVDs is being played through my 2 speakers built into my LCD TV. However, I have (2) 2.1 audio systems running wireless Squeezebox 3 players to calm my music addiction. ;)
Personally, if I had $200 to spend, I'd look at the used gear. Check your local Craigslist, Audiogon.com etc. I had the 516, the predecessor to the 517. It had some noise on the channels that could be heard on the speakers when no material was being played. Back to used gear. I recently...
I didn't see the mention of a subwoofer. If you're trying to have your main speakers provide all the bass for you, it might be surprising what a $350 (used) sub could do for you. Also, like the previous poster indicated - level checking. Was your receiver and speakers calibrated properly?
While the auto calibration utilities in a receiver are nice to have, the results should be checked with a SPL meter. If you have access to one, you might want to run a check to see if the sub was properly calibrated in the mix. Also, keep in mind that subwoofer placement can play a big part in...
What speakers would you be using? Both are great receivers. I think the Yamaha might offer a few more settings for the crossover, which having a 60Hz crossover might not be such a bad thing. Both are quite reliable receivers.
You'll have to search for it for the city the person lives in. You can try the main, non-emergency police number and ask to be connected to that unit. Also, the FBI has a task force where they work with local police agencies on Internet crimes. I submitted such a request through the...
Lots of factors can impact this, such as: - speaker efficiency - room size - Material being played - etc. It doesn't seem like your situation is odd in any way.
#1) I doubt if PayPal will be of much assistance to you, if the funds have already been moved out of the PayPal account. If you paid via PayPal with a credit card, then I'd dispute the charge with your card company. PayPal will just "freeze" the account so the person can't do any transactions...
You might consider playing the games in "night mode" by using the feature on the receiver. It will drop the dynamic output by a bit, but will probably save your system from overloading.
Congrats on the purchase of the H/K receiver. It sounds like it will suit your needs well. Also, I think you can purchase an after-market warranty to cover the receiver. Many electronics retailers from NY, NJ, etc. offer these since they are not authorized to sell most of the brands. In...
It should be OK. I have 1 GB of Ram and the AMD XP 1800+ for my CPU. The performance is quite good. I'm using a video card with an ATI chip on it and 256 MB of memory. What video card do you have?
Even if the receiver was purchased from an authorized vendor, Denon may not honor the warranty for the 2nd purchaser. Pioneer Elite, is the only brand of receiver that I'm aware of that protects the 2nd owner under the warranty. You might want to look at the Denon warranty for the specific terms...
