    What do you think of these 3 speaker choices, kef, boston, b&w?

    It's really about what you like best since none of us will ever hear them in your house! FWIW, I own Boston's and really like the sound. You seem to be getting a good deal either way so get what makes you happy. I've listed to Paradigms, B&W and Vienna Acoustics in my room but wouldn't take...

    SVS PB1-ISD...WILL i BE DISAPPOINTED?

    Keir is exactly right. I have 3500 cubic feet and that scene in Episode 2 is downright scary on my 20-39 PCi. I don't think you'll be disappointed. You can always buy another later.

    QuickPoll #3: Your Favorite Album

    Just can't pick one: Van Halen-1984 AC/DC-Back in Black Motley Crue-Dr. Feelgood For a change of pace: Blackmore's Night-Shadow of the Moon. This absolutely pulls me out of reality and into another era.

    Cerwin Vega vs. Boston Acoustics sub?

    Although I own a SVS, my other speakers are all Bostons. I demoed the PV600 and the PV800 as well. I did think the PV800 was more boomy than the PV600 but with a little more extension. For me, I would have bought the PV600. It was very close in actual performance. I can't speak for the other...

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    I don't know how she is on the acting part but whoever the brunette is that stars in the Miller Lite commercials looks fine to me. You know, the one who wrestles the other girl in the fountain or mud? This is where the two guys at the bar are imagining the scene. The two girls argue over "tastes...

    How Many of You Don't go to Commercial Theaters Anymore?

    I like both but some thing irk me: 1. Cell Phones suck. 2. People that talk during the movie suck. 3. Movie theater popcorn is too expensive. 4. Movie tickets are too expensive. I can buy a DVD for $8 through Columbia House but it costs my wife and I $15 to go to the theater. 5. I...

    Which SVS subwoofer to buy?

    My room is an L shape. It has three doors going into the room as well. The best thing to do is to email the SVS tech service with a rough sketch (bitmap/jpeg) of your room layout. Tom V at SVS will definitely steer you in the right direction.

    Which SVS subwoofer to buy?

    My room is 3500 cubic feet and I have a 20-39PCi. Tom from SVS said this sub would be fine for my area and he was exactly right. If I want, I can make the doors rattle and easily get the wife mad at me. I would think in room the 20-39PCi would be just fine.

    For Metallica fans ... re: new record!

    I guess the best way to summarize my feeling is that it just isn't heavy compared to most other metal bands. To me, it's mainstreamed rock. Compared to other bands such as BLS, Pantera, Machine Head, Soulfly, Deftones, and others, St. Anger blows. In terms of heaviness, St. Anger is a BB gun and...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Die Another Day" Special Edition (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) (with screenshots)

    I've been meaning to chime in on this discussion. I think for me the "favorite" Bond idea comes from my first experience of seeing Bond in the theater. It was Roger Moore in "A View to A Kill". Oh, I love (and own) every other Bond film but this holds a special place because of the experience...

    For Metallica fans ... re: new record!

    I must say the new album is not too good IMHO. The sound is terribly thin compared to AJFA or the Black album. The damn snare drum Lars uses throughout the album wreaks and sounds like he is beating a garbage can or cooking pot. In fact, it is so pronounced that Lars' clanging actually dominates...
