    Recommendations for musical bookshelfs under $300

    These will be my "B" speakers off of a Denon AVR-1802. They will be in a different room from the main speakers and there will be no sub.

    Recommendations for musical bookshelfs under $300

    The subject just about says it all. I'm look for ideas as to what a good pair of bookshelf speakers would be for listening to music. Must be under $300/pair. The music isn't going to be played super loud and I'm not a bass freak. I'm more interested in beautiful sound. Thanks

    Should rear surrounds both have same length of wire?

    Saw a great post explaining this here once. Oh well, search and ye shall find. In short it said: (1) Electricity travels very fast, let's say that extra 15' of cable takes .00017 seconds for the electricity to surge down. (2) Okay, so the sound emits from once speaker .00017 seconds before...

    Navigate to the CD and double click on one of the audio tracks, it will say there is no association and ask you to choose what to open the file with. Select what program you want to use.

    jbl pb12 sub questions?

    I've had the sub for about six months, no problems so far. My understanding is that there were some reliability issues with earlier models but all is good now. It sounds nice. Adds oomph to some movie scenes. Complements my JBL speakers well. It doesn't pound like a Brontosauras, but hey...

    Cat5 vs. Cat5e - What is the real difference?

    Bryan, The prime physical difference between 5 and 5e is the number of twists per foot. The effect of this is that 5e is able to carry a balanced digital signal at higher speeds/frequencies (due to less interference). If your cable does not say 5e then it is not. I've never seen a cable that...

    Progressive VS. S-Video Help!

    I believe you have one of the new Hitachi HDTV's. The model number should end in 20b. From what I have read their internal line doubler and 3:2 pulldown is very good. Because the internal components have been doing a good job at making progressive scan out of an interlaced source, you may not...

    Can you use VE disc to calibrate your computer monitor?

    Adobe Photoshop comes with a monitor calibration utility called Adobe Gamma. I don't know if it can be found seperately. It has you go through some of the same basic stuff as the DVD calibration disc. Monitor calibration is definately worth the time, like RPTV's, most monitors are overally...

    Does it matter where a product is made?

    It used to be that I didn't care or notice where a product came from. However, after spending a year in Korea that has definately changed. It may just be my superstition but I now avoid products that are made there (cars, computers, electronics). Its just a general feeling of lack of quality. I...

    The subwoofer must be enabled on the receiver and the front speakers should be set to small. Look at the top of page 19 of your 1802's manual.

    I recently bought a Denon 1802 and for music I'm using it with two JBL S-310 tower speakers. I'm very happy with the music that this combination produces.
