    RS 250 speaker question

    I am looking at the rockets rs250s for the rear surround speakers, but was wondering if they were back ported. If so, how are you owners placing them (I'm hoping to attach them to walls a couple feet behind the seating area). How are others out there making rear ported speakers work when...

    Seperates terminology

    Dana: I guess I meant speed when I mentioned processing power. So, with a 5.1 HT, do you need 2 2ch amps and one monobloc? I guess I don't understand what a surround sound setup looks like when using seperates. Thanks for you input.

    Seperates terminology

    I'm looking into seperates for a HT. Being new to the idea of having seperates, I had a couple questions. What is biamping? Monobloc? How much processing power is adequate? Can a great prepro & amp be had for under $1000? Maybe somebody had a threat they'd like to point me to. Any help would be...

    Another speaker placement ?

    Thanks Chu, I have been to dolby's website before. If I could, I would try out different speaker positions to see what sounded the best, but the house isn't built yet and I wanted to wire it before the sheet rock went up. Maybe I'll just create a web of wires all over just in case. Thanks...

    Another speaker placement ?

    I've read much about surround speaker placement, but think that given my room, my best option is to attach speakers to cieling and angle downwards. I think the recommended height is somewhere between sitting position and standing position, but my cieling is 9 feet. Is 9 feet too high to get...

    denon 3802 and 6ave

    Fast eddie quoted me the same price and claimed the warranty that came with it is void per Denon's statements, but that you may be able to force denon to honor it.

    denon 3802 and 6ave

    AHA, I just found some additional posts regarding my question. They upped the price from 699 to 899. But still, Is a valid warranty worth an extra $200+ ? I could get this receiver from unauthorized etailers for $700. Comments?

    denon 3802 and 6ave

    I called 6ave.com and asked about the Denon 3802 receiver. They are quoting me at $899. I know others on this forum have found it for much less. I told the salesman I'd seen the receiver on ebay from other online etailers for $700 or so. He told me that they were probably not approved Denon...

    Speakers to go w/ Denon 3802

    Which Rockets are comparable to Monitor 9's or Studio 40's, Energy C-9s or Klipsch RF7s? Is there anybody out there who does not like Rockets?;)

    Speakers to go w/ Denon 3802

    I'm hoping to purchase a Denon 3802 receiver soon and am wondering if anyone has suggestions regarding a set of 5 speakers to match. I will upgrade my sub at a later date. The room is about 16x14 and run about 70/30 HT to music. I'm really hoping that I can get speakers for $2500 (US) or less...

    HT Recommendations?

    I am hoping that forum readers could recommend a home theater setup that is very good quality and priced $2000 to $3500. This includes speakers, sub and receiver. I currently have a Denon 1400 with Mission speakers (700 series) as well as an Energy powered sub. I am happy with the subwoofer, but...
