greggor, this might be a little off topic, but i would strongly suggest to buy a three and a FOUR channel power amp. 6.1 with only one backsurround speaker is NOT the way to go. i doubt that you will be very happy with such a configuration. as for your upgrade plans: why you just don't buy...

ramon, like angelo mentioned above, there is currently no discrete 7.1 format on dvd and probably never will. however, it's possible nevertheless to generate a believable 7.1 experience. its just a matter of decoding process. you wrote *every one seems to like 7.1*. well here is the...

hi stefan, *rofl* da hast du verdammt recht...*ggg* @ mikeks, i think the denon 3805 is a very nice unit and should be right now hard to beat by it's competitors, regarding the feature list it contains. in my opinion the parametic/graphic room eq (8 bands for each individual channel...

mikeks, there are only a fistful of receivers right now which can handle 7.1 processing (dolby pro logic IIx). of course there are dozens if not hundreds of products which *claim* to be 7.1 receivers, but aren't at all, rather then 6.1 receivers (with 7 build in amps). the secret to 7.1...

hi axel, well you seems to live just around my corner. i'm from hanau, so this is really no more then a *katzensprung* (is there an english word for it? :D ). any way, right now i'm a little busy try to find a new job (you know how hard that is at moment), but as soon as everything goes on...

hi axel, i didn't realized so far, that svs sub are distributed over here. since when are the available and who is distributing them? a comparison between the svs subs and our brands like *teufel* or *nubert* might be interesting. when you got yours, it would be nice to read about your...

wallis, i don't know for web downloads either. but if you are generally interested in nukes i can recommend a very good dvd for you, named *trinity and beyond*. lots of life nuclear explosions in the desert, in the sky and under water. all narrated by william shattner and all in 5.1...

hi, no it's not possible. the x-over you choose, will work for all speakers. so best result are probably made if you choose the 80hz range - or if your speakers allow - the 60hz range. regards, holger

thomas, of course dpl IIx will work for 5.1 sources as well as for 2.0 sources. it seems widely *known* that dpl IIx is only good for two channel sources, espacially in the rows of manufacturers. assuming the set up was made properly, dolby pro logic IIx will work VERY good and effective on...

you could hear alot in the 80khz range, if you only were a bat :D :D thx(ultra) crossover for surroundspeakers is 80hz for thx (select) it's 100hz. regards, holger

chuck, i'm sorry if i didn't made my point clear enough. it surely wasn't my intention to *trash* any gear or a company. don't get me wrong: i like the boston sound, i always did. heck, i even sold them for years, during my time as a certified boston dealer. what i was trying to say is, that...

yes, three identical speakers in the front are great, but not always the best solution. i'd say it looks something strange or - at least - something needs getting used to, if you put the third 50" floorstanding speaker on top of your tv :wink: :laugh: even if you have a front projection...

ken, well i can't tell you what do you like or not. i have definitive technology speakers and i'm 100% happy with them. i wouldn't consider to buy a different brand even if i was a millionnair and could buy whatever i want. i might can give you only one good advise: if you are a REALLY...

hi everyone, i just had a look on boston acoustics' website and found the new vr series. i liked the old vr series a lot, especially the *vr965* and *vr975* with their build-in active subwoofer. my personal experience with such speakers is, they give you a whole lot more freedom for adjusting...

stephen, even with non-encoded ex/es software, the decoder will at least try to decode something... it's very likely, that with non-encoded material the surround back channel will become quite ostensible. in worst case most of surround left/right channel seperation is gone and...

alan, a circular ht? sounds interesting, a really good choice to avoid those annoying room modes (standing waves). the most you can do at present is 6.1, if go just straight from the source (dvd), no more channels are delivered. however, there are methods to go beyond 6.1, e.g if you...

well steve, it isn't that easy. first of all, someone should clear out the terms *6.1* and *7.1* most receivers today which claims to be a *7.1* product aren't in fact *7.1* products at all. like you said, they just deliver excatly the same signal to the left and right surround back...

hi peter, i would say it depends on your personal preferences. if you are interested in 6.1 or better, then the answer is IMO a clearly yes. consider, that dolby pro logic2 is basically a *matrix only derrived* 5.0 format, which was developde for 2channel sources only. now dolby pro...

Hi Andrew, I'm very happy with my BP2000TL's and the last thing that needed to be upgraded is the bass. I got plenty of it and it is always smooth, crisp clear, never boomy or disturbed. One thing I love about those speakers: No matter what kind of material you feed them, no matter what kind...

I have a pair of Def Techs BP2000Tl and they are set to *large*. They do handle the .1(LFE) signal as well, I connected them via a y-adapter to the sub out of my pre-amp. Bass response is wonderful dynamic and always crystal clear. They never sound boomy or produce audible distortion. Even at...

@ daniel and dan, sorry, i don't own a digital camera yet nor a scanner. but i look forward either to buy or to loan one. just be patient... daniel, indeed the rear(back)surrounds should at least about one meter away from your couch. if that is not possible i would rather recommend to...

daniel, my ht-room is about 3 meters wide(~9feet) and 5 meters long (~15 feet). i use a 7.1 logic7 optimized system with a lexicon mc-8 pre-pro. i have honestly to say that i don't care about those cheesy 6.1 formats like dolby ex and dts es (matrix and discrete) at all, since in my opinion...

tommy, i promise, you will not waste your time. just make sure, the dealer understands what he is talking about and make sure you listen to a proper calibrated and excellent build up 7.1 system. the difference will be day and night to anything else you have heard to date. happy listening :)...

tommy, yes the mc-8 is capable of playing back dvd-a/sacd since the lexicon guys spent an analog 5.1 input on this one. the logic7 mode on the mc-1 is IMO mainly developed for the playback of movie soundtracks. of course it also can be *abused* :) for music sources as well, but i prefer the...

tommy, the lex mc-1 will blow your socks off, regarding in playback movie soundtracks. however, it may not fulfill your requirements in regards of music playback. the mc-1 lacks an analog 5.1 input, so dvd-a/sacd is not an option on this otherwise outstanding processor. on the other hand: the...

@ scott, i own the def-techs BP2000TL and i could not be happier. i will definitely NEVER EVER go back to a separate subwoofer again. you may ask why... well, i have never encountered a better bass response, with lots of precision, inner detail and accuracy. i got to admit, that a...

hi guys, well i got to admit, that i like the film and enjoyed watching it. it is certainly not a big art work but i do like gabriel byrne and i do like those *ten little niggers* stories. i also liked the woman dressed in red, even better when she was undressed later :D :D :D btw: is it...

@ roy, there are a very few companys in the world which manufacture digital speakers indeed. for example *Meridian* does it, as well as *T&A*, a well known and highly praised german high-end manufacturer in europe as well as *Klein&Hummel*, also a german manufacturer for active studio...
