Having completed the contruction of a theater in my basement about 9 months ago, I now have two theater systems in my house. The main one in the theater is a full-blown audiophile system. The second one in my family room is also very good, but the kind of use it gets now really makes some of the...

I've been busy trying to set-up my BFD this weekend for my Tumults. I have two Tumults in 18" sealed enclosures with a QSC PLX3402 amp and LT. Measurements at the listening position using Stryke CD and Radio Shack SPL meter w/ corr. values are below. Seems like a very flat response other...

I just got a Denon 2900 and am going through the set-up routine. In the audio section where you specify your speaker configuration there is a toggle for a "Special Filter". What the heck is this? The manual gives a very poor description. Something about adjusting for DVD audio and SACD discs...

I've had an AVM-20 for a couple years now, but just recenlty got a Denon 2900 DVD/SACD/DVD-A player. I'm wondering how to best set-up this system for playing SACD's and DVD-A discs? The AVM 20 has bass managment and speaker level settings with the Analog-DSP mode on the 6-ch source, but the...

I've read lots of discussion about the Denon 2900's video, SACD, and DVD-A performance, but how is it for redbook CD? Has anyone done any comparisons with good stand alone CD players? I've been considering getting a 2900 but am wondering if it is realy an all-in-one solution or if I would be...

Anyone know where you can buy 20 amp plugs and IEC connectors to make your own power cords? I have run a search on this forum and looked through sites like partsexpress, but all I have been able to find are 15 amp versions from the likes of Marinco and Wattgate. Any help would be appreiciated.

I just auditioned a pair of Martin Logan Ascents and loved them, but I'm concerned that I will not be able to fit matching surrounds (Scripts) into my theater. They are pretty tall (~4ft) and stick out from the wall about 9 inches when wall mounted. For a number of reasons this really would not...

I'm looking for recommendations on 2ch amps to add to my audition list. I'm putting together a system for a new HT/listenting room that I am going to build in my basement. I already have an Anthem MCA5 that I am going to use to drive the center and 4 rear/surround channels. I will need a 2ch amp...

I'm looking for a new sub to put with either B&W 600 series LCR's or Totem Acoustic Mite-T-C LCR's. I've demo'd Velodyne HGS & SPL series and Sunfire Mark IV. Both sound great at the dealer, but how will they sound in a large room? My room is 20x15 with 17' sloped ceiling and is completely open...

I'm looking for a 5-channel amp to pair up with a used Anthem AVM2 that I'm going to buy from a friend. I like the MCA5 but would rather spend a little less. I was thinking of buying a reciever for this system in the $2000 range, but thought that since I could get good deal on the AVM2...

I have been looking for new center channel and main speakers for my system. Unfortunately, the cabinet that they need to go into to meet WAF standards requires a horizontally configured speaker. I could use bookshelf speakers on their sides for the L/R mains but am concerned about the imaging...
