A power surge or lightning spike or something has damaged my Pioneer VSX-1014TX, so all you see on the display is the MCACC flashing. What I'm struggling with is, do I spend the money to have this repaired (no longer under warranty) or replace it with a newer model? I was more than happy with...

A friend has 4 JBL 2206 professional drivers, and wants to use them to build a sub for his FP theater. Is there any scenario where he can put these to good use, or is there no way these will go low enough? He has a wedge-shaped storage space to one side of his screen area that measures 116" deep...

SOLD!! This receiver was named Product of the Year by Audio Revolution the year it was introduced. Here is a link to the review: http://www.audiorevolution.com/equip...945/index.html Great hi-current amp, 5.1 receiver, DD,DTS,Pro Logic, a true 100w x 5. Unit is 3 1/2 yrs old, never...

I downloaded the NCH tone generator. Can someone tell me exactly what steps I take to burn test tones onto a cd using my computer's cd burner? I want to do some measurements on my new sub.

Well, it only took a couple years, but my AA ported sub is finally done! I had the box built and ready to drop in a Tempest, but when the time came to order, the Tempests were on backorder. I then read about the Atlas 15 from Ascendant Audio, and went with it. The Atlas dropped into the hole I...

Ordered Amp and Port Kits from Kyle today, but the Tempest is on backorder until possibly mid-Feb. Will wait if necessary, but would like one now if possible. Enclosure is built and ready to go. Taken care of. Thanks.

I'm trying to finalize my plans for a Tempest in a vented box, and have been playing with the box dimensions some more. If I built my box with outside dimensions of 26" x 26" x 26", using 1" thick material, the internal volume is very close to the Adire Alignment. This does not take into account...

I'm planning on building the Adire Alignment ported sub, but would like to modify the dimensions slightly by reducing the height and increasing the width/depth. If I kept the basic volume the same (W x D x H) would this create any problems? Something like 24" x 24" x28" Tall (excluding 4" legs)...

I'm planning on building a vented sub using the Tempest Driver and probably the AVA 250 Amp. I've NEVER done anything like this before, so I am not equipped to do my own enclosure design. I have seen the Adire Alignment, and a few others, but was just curious to see any pre-designed options I...

I have a CHT-15 on the way, and don't know the first thing about how to set it up! I'm replacing an 8" BIC sub:b to complete my setup. I have 4 JBL S-36, S-Center, Tosh 65HX81, in a room approx. 12' x 15' x 7.5'. I probably only have two options for sub placement- either the front left corner of...

Here's my setup: HT/Fam.Room approx.12' x 15' x 7.5'. Equipment- Tosh. 65HX81, JBL S36 x 4, JBL SCenter, Sherwood Newcastle R-945. I am pretty restricted regarding Sub Placement, currently my sub (a BIC 8", not too hard to improve on!) is near the front corner, along the side wall about 4' from...

Anyone know anything about this Sub? They're going on Ebay for $299.00 + free shipping.

Would I get the best seamless sound by using JBL S36's all the way around (except the S-Center, of course) for my 5.1 setup, as opposed to S36's front and S-26's rear? I already have the S-Center and the 2 S26's, have settled on the S36's for my fronts, due largely to space constraints (I'm...

I have determined that the best (only!)way for me to mount my S36's is from my ceiling. Anyone know of a suitable bracket for ceiling mounting these? The 4 keyhole slots in the back would seem to require at least two posts. Thanks in advance.

The local BB has a pair of S312's on sale for $99.00 each. They are damaged. The damage, as far as I could tell, was damage to the frame of one of the grills, and that the very center of the woofer was partly crushed, but not cracked. How can I tell if these are worth buying? How could I test...

Here's my deal - I have a Toshiba 65HX81, and JBL Studio Series speakers (S26 rears, S36 Fronts, SCenter) Strictly 5.1 setup, 90-95% TV/Movies. I'm looking for a good quality receiver, and I want to stay under $300.00, because I would be in big trouble if my lovely wife knew what I had already...

Very interesting. http://www.toshiba.com/tacp/news/may_23_02_dst3100.html With this box, would you also need a set-top box for hi-def, or will this do it? Also, how does this affect the DVI issue, since this box has DVI? I'm very curious as I just got my new 65HX81!

I have purchased the JBL S-Center II, a pair of S-26's for rears, and am planning on the S-36 for fronts. Is there a decent receiver to be had for < $400.00 for this setup? I am about 90% HT, 10% music, would like DPLII. Would moving up to around $500.00 MAX make a big difference? Thanks.

Let me try this question again. Here's what I would like to do, and I don't know if it is possible. Can I hook up two surround speakers to the same speaker wire, which is AR's 14/4 in-wall wire? What I want to do, if feasible, is use my four existing surround speakers as my rears, with a pair of...

I currently own a BIC DV52CLR-S CC, and 4 DV32 Surrounds, which I am using in my Living Room. In my new HT/Family Room, I have prewired with AR 14/4 wire. What would the effect be if I mounted TWO of the DV32's on either side and slightly behind the seating area for my rears,(sort of? like...

As you can tell, I'm looking at lower priced speakers, but want bang for my buck (never heard that before, right?) I'd settled on the NSP1 based on good feedback on this forum, but have recently read about the low prices some are getting on the Wharfedales and now these Michauras. If I went with...

I have an old (probably 15 yrs. or so) pair of AR speakers- they are three-sided, powered, about 6-8" tall, pretty heavy due to the power source. Don't know a lot about these- anyone know where I can find out more about them, and if they are worth using in any way in a HT setup? Sorry for my...

I am going to buy either the Tosh 57HX81 or the 65HX81. I will be sitting approx. 10' from the screen. I looked at both in the store, and the 57" seemed a bit small. Don't know if that was because I was in a big showroom or not. $$ not the issue, I just don't want to buy the 65 and then regret...
