    What makes a sub musical?

    Anyone ever notice that Micheal Moore spends most of his complaining about rich, angry, white males?..........given the fact that Micheal Moore is, well, a rich, angry, white male...:b Good read here, I'm still making my way through the thread...:emoji_thumbsup:

    Duke Nukem Forever.... beyond a joke.

    It turn's out that the CEO of Take Two was mistaken. GB is quoted over on Blue's News and Shacknews about it. He says they're using an in-house engine that is Doom 3-like....

    Duke Nukem Forever.... beyond a joke.

    Check out what George Broussard said in a thread on 3D Realms message board a few days ago.

    Oh my goodness...I'm getting an SVS!!

    That is a fine sub, but just remember the 25-31 will give you more output for about 95% of most DVD's. Great system, BTW, you SHOULD be really excited.:emoji_thumbsup:

    ****Sopranos Season 5 Season Guide (Spoilers)

    Awsome episode. It doesn't really bother me that the FBI was 'sloppy' or whatever. In real life the mafia of today is nothing like it once was. If things in the show were a mirror of law enforcement today, there would be no 'Sopranos.' I'm not bothered a bit by the way the FBI handled Ade on the...

    ****Sopranos Season 5 Season Guide (Spoilers)

    Wow, great episode. I've thought many of this season's episodes were OK, but a lot of them kind of seemed like filler material and, although some were pretty good,didn't advance some of better overall plot lines of the series. Tonight was different. The s&*! hit the fan tonight. Man, when...

    would the svs pb2+ be a noticable upgrade from a vtf-3?

    If you sift throught that closed AVS, Craig also compared a single 25-31pc+ vs. the VTF3/2. He prefered the sound of the HSU in this case. He noted that PB2+ was not just louder, but also sounded better than the 25-31pc+. Dustin

    PB2-ISD or HSU?

    In that case the HSU probably would not exactly plase Mrs. john_FE either. It is quite a tough decision, just rest easy knowing whatever you decide, you're going to be pleased, even if she isn't. Good Luck, DT

    PB2-ISD or HSU?

    For under 1K, both HSU and SVS both have excellent choices available. HSU makes the VTF-3MKII for around $700 and I've heard nothing but quality things about it. The PB2-ISD would definately have more clean SPL in the tank so to speak, but its also bigger and a bit more expensive. They should...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    Here is a great article about the Matrix franchise posted on Slate , different from the one linked earlier in this thread. Its a great read, weather you agree or disagree with the author. Dustin

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    Max, I agree with your statement from the emotional perspective. The Final Flight of the Osirus introduced two characters that were more appealing in 5 minutes than the ones developeded in the sequels. The Kid would have best been left out of the films all together. The Kid's strory in the...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    I saw the film yesterday. Color me dissapointed. Now, its not a terrible film, but doesn't come close to delivering like the first one. Bad editing, poor sory telling, all those things permiate these last two installments. While I enjoyed Reloaded, now when I watch it on DVD I skip scenes like...

    *** Official KILL BILL VOLUME 1 Review Thread

    Count me in the minority here. Let me start off my review by saying I usually like action movies. Kill Bill Vol. 1 however, was a HUGE disapointment for me. I really like some of QT's other films, but this was his worst effort IMHO. I thought the movie was well stylized and definately...

    Want to know a typical audio equipment sales margin?

    40% margin for a B&M sounds about right to me. I know a person who runs an audio store and he certainly isn't rich, as his overhead eats most of his gross. As for CD's, I have much less of sympathy when it comes to paying 15-20 dollars for a CD. I agree, they are a horrible value for what you...

    Is 120W enough for a SVS CS 20-39 ?

    IF, and only IF, you are cash strapped the CS driven by your old reciever would work for now. Your room is big so a single CS may not satisfy you. It could, however, be a starting point. Chris and Ed offered a few good points. I would say if your reciever pumped out 180w at 4ohms, you would...

    Is 120W enough for a SVS CS 20-39 ?

    That old Onkyo should do just fine with a CS. Also, I bet your reciever's wattage rating is for an 8ohm load. If this is the case, the sub will probably draw around ~180w at 4ohms since the SVS is a 4ohm speaker. DT

    Bright?

    Micheal, I was just giving MY listening observations. I'm no speaker engineer and would never claim to be an expert on the technology. I never said ALL bright speakers use metal dome tweeters or ONLY metal dome tweeters sound bright. Of course I've heard 'bright' speakers that use other...

    Bright?

    Many speakers that use metal dome tweeters are considered 'bright.' One characteristic assosiated often with metal dome tweeters the 'sss' sounds in words being overemphisized. I like the sound of many speakers with metal dome tweeters, but I get tired of the constant 'ssss' 'ssss' standing out...

    Hydrosonic subwoofer II review

    hmm..............Color me a skeptic. That frequency reponse curve, well, doesn't look too good to me. I have not heard this sub, so I'm in no real position to say if its all its hyped to be or not. This whole thing just sounds like a bad Ron Popeil infomercial. I would be interested in...

    I just saw Shawshank Redemption (1994) for the first time. WOW!

    This is one fantastic movie. From the cinematography to the narrative, its so well refined to most Hollywood stuff these days. The film was shot at the old Ohio prison in Mansfield ,OH. I'm from there and at the time I had a couple friends who worked their when it was open. The state even...

    Who has Ascends here?

    FWIW, I've had the chance to compare HSU to SVS a while back. To me, neither sub one-uppded the other in terms of sound quality, they were both excellent for music and HT. For me it would be more of a decision of what output I want and what I want to pay. If you get a VTF-2 at a discount...

    The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

    Chris, Thank you for sharing that wonderful analysis. I think, no matter how it holds up in Revolutions, it certainly is one of the best posts in this thread. I can't find anything on the web about the author, but he certainly expressed his thoughts well. Dustin

    The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

    There is SOME light, its just dark. You can see in the films and Animatrix, so a little light is getting in via the sky. In the sea there are deep ocean vents that provide energy for life. These organisms live off chemicals that would kill anything on the surface. It is fun to think of how...

    New Outlaw subwoofer!?!

    While I'm a happy Outlaw owner, this new sub has me scratching my head a bit. They claim the SUB is flat from 20hz and above. The are using room gain to justify their claim. Why don't they just say flat from 25hz to 100hz? They make a blanket statement about every room with that. I know...
