    Opinions needed: KEF Q7's vs Energy C-9's

    I listed to the C9's and the Q7's when I set up my system. I prefered the sound of the Q7's and purchased them. The Q7's had a nice sound no matter where you are while I found the C9's to be a bit more focused with their ideal listening position. The Q7's also had a smoother low end from...

    HVAC Sound proofing

    You do not need to use flexible ductork to reduce the sound transmitted. As long as there are a few 90 deg. bends in the ductwork b/w outlet locations, that will help reduce the sound transfer issue. SteveLeach is right that you should oversize the ducts a bit to avoid air noise. Calculate...

    Pioneer 1014

    I assume that home is yours. Hope you are enjoying it if my assumption is correct. I got one of my own today anyhow, so I am glad this one wasn't still available and muuuuuuuuuuuuch cheaper ;)

    Pioneer 1014TX from Wells

    That's pretty rediculus, but the in-store pick-up trick does work? I think that may be my move.

    question for all those SVS experts out there...

    Thanks for the info. I guess that's as "official" an answer as you can fet huh? Ron, you're keeping the SVS rep alive. Good job to all of you guys over there.

    question for all those SVS experts out there...

    OK... with all the people on this board who are SVS afficianados, I figure this is the best place to direct this question. On the PC+ series, the BASH amp is rated as 525 Watts. Is this an average or peak wattage? If average, what is the peak power output of this amp? Thanks.

    Kef Q7's

    I have the Q7's and the Q9c as well, (though i used Q1's as my surrounds and an SVS sub). I think you will be pleased with your new setup. Enjoy!

    If you HAD to pick the best "Bose" style cube speakers...

    From all the reviews I have read, I have only seen good things about KEF's mini home theater setup: KEF Home Theater no personal experience with them though. They are a bit more modern loking though, but about the same size as the Bose cubes. Good luck.

    Kef or NHT

    I too do not find the Q7s to be boomy. From what I have head from others placement due to the rear porting of the Q7s is somewhat crucial and the "boominess" is typically a result of the speaker's backs being to close to a wall. I have been very happy with my Q-series surround setup. If you are...

    5.1 vs 6.1, is it really a big deal?

    I don't know precisely what you are looking to spend here, but if you want to see a showroom that is well setup, and are willing to look into equipment slightly higher in the spectrum then Circuit City, I would have to tell you to go to Harvey Electronics. There is one located on 45th b/w 5th &...

    The waiting is the hardest part!

    mine is too.. should be getting here tomorrow according to SVS. Here's hoping:D Problem is I have to be out of the house all day tomorrow and back home in NYC:frowning: I will leave a note with a signature for UPS, and my housemates will be around to sign if neccessary, but this means that I...

    (sing along) "Grandmother got run over by a teevee..."

    What type of connection are you using? I assume coax? if so, when the vcr is off the coax signal should pass right through and be as though the cable was connected directly to the TV. This should give you the best of both worlds.. easy to watch cable (w/ VCR off) and easy to tape cable as well...

    I'm looking to get an affordable 6.1 set up

    From everything I have read, the mini KEF complete package is supposed to be very good. Again, if you have not purchased yet, I would check them out. They come in at just about exactly your $1500 price point. Good luck! ~Bri

    The waiting is the hardest part!

    Hey Christopher, SVS seems to be having some backup because they are waiting on a delivery from the supplier of their amps for the plus series. I am waiting for mine too. ARGH! SOOO frustrating. Hopefully soon we will both be enjoying our new subs. Best of luck. ~Bri

    Help w/ Denon

    I just realized that the same question (almost) is being asked in the thread right below me. Oops. Any ideas should just get added to that one. Sorry for the confusion.

    Help w/ Denon

    Hey, I have a Denon 3803. I have been watching DTS disks with no problems for the last few days. I just threw in a regular Dolby Digital DVD and am unable to get it to play back in Dolby Digital for some reason. The Reciever only wants to decode it as Pro-Logic II. I have tried multiple 5.1 DD...

    Question for owners of KEF Q series

    Hey Chris, I have a setup similar to what you have described... Q7's, a Q9c, and Q1's for surrounds. I have to say I am very happy with them. The sound is somewhat laid back in my opinion, and so you may want to make sure you listen before you buy. The sound is great. As Sean said, the Uni-Q...

    best small sized sub?

    Sunfire subs are relatively small and have gotten good performance reviews in general. Two possible problems with these though...first, they are not front firing (they are dual driver side firing). Second, I have read some reviews and the one complaint about the sunfires I have read is that they...

    "AL24" on Denon?

    Hey.. does anyone out there know what the "AL24" message means on a Denon 3803? I get it whenever I change sound modes (aka: stereo to direct, stereo to DPL II, etc.) Any ideas what this means?

    Iterim Subwoofer

    It would probably help people a bit if you gave us a sense of your budget for the sub. The VTF-2 and VTF-3 are somewhat different in price. Are you looking more in the VTF-3 price range? or the VTF-2 price range?

    Center Channel Humming...

    Brian (BrianJ>Y), I think your "buzzing" assessment of the sound you have may in fact be closer to what I am actually experiencing than the humming I first described at the start of this thread. Let me know if the cheater plug does anything for you. I too would like to know if this is having a...

    Pinnacle Subs?

    The 600 is in fact the bigger brother of the 150 you have. It has got dual 12" drivers and is 600W. Based on your impressions of the 150 I am thinking the 600 might definately go on my list of subs to seriously check out. Anyone else with any Pinnacle experience?

    Non-SVS recomendations?

    I have setup a decent HT/music system very recently, and am now down to the final piece of my system, a sub. I have a Denon 3803 running a set of KEF Q-series speakers (Q7's front, Q1's rear, Q9c center). Looking to compliment these speakers nicely with a fairly powerful sub that is adept at...

    Anybody know about the KEF THX TDM speakers?

    Hey Leo... which two dealers are you thinking of in NYC? I know i just purchased a set of Q-series speakers from Harvey electronics (high end electronics chain in the NY area, if you haven't been to one i would suggest it just for the experience of poking around. Its fun for me to check out all...
