    rp-91, denon 1600, denon 2900...which to buy?

    Tommy, I use a bundled set of Ixos cables for the MCH connection between a 47a and a 49TXi. Very good cables and very practical. I enjoy expensive stuff (I mean like 2000$ speaker cables and such) but you got to keep things in perspective for a mid-level MCH installation. In my eyes these...

    Breaking the news of a purchase to your significant other

    I love these "My wife"-threads! I have read quite a few of them with lots of laughter. I've learned or better had confirmed what I think anyway. Moneywise, everyone puts in what is necessary in common expenses (rent, food, kids etc)proportional to the salary. If you earn 50% more you pay 50%...

    Importing HT receivers - and differences in AC Voltage...

    Daniel, I am also thinking of taking a 110 V receiver back to Europe where we have 220/240 V. My amp is actually an integrated amp and not an HT receiver. It is however very complex and micro-processor controlled. The micro-porcessor has no trouble with the conversion. I guess this is what...

    Importing HT receivers - and differences in AC Voltage...

    Just one caveat. I don't know for Australia and Japan, but USA and Europe have different cycles. USA is 60Hz. For amps that doesn't really matter I believe, since my 240 V amp is running alright thanks to a transformer. CDplayer is ok, too. But I tried to run a vinyl turntable and it was...

    Which would you pick, Pioneer 49TXi w/47Ai or Denon 5803 w/9000

    Hi Geo, I don't have too much experience with the Denon other than I found it not as ergonomic and not as nice looking. The proprietary and not really working "i-link" also turned me off. Dolby Headphone would have been a plus though. Maybe my long review can sway you towards the Pio...

    ThX Speaker Setup and MCACC (Pioneer)

    Rob, sorry for not getting back earlier. If I understand correctly, you have built-in subs in the Mordaunts and an extra REL. Right? You like bass, he? And you say despite all that you don't get enough bass? You might have a room cancellation problem with the REL at a certain frequency, so...

    ThX Speaker Setup and MCACC (Pioneer)

    I am not familiar with the particularities of the built in active sub of what is probably the 500 series, right? I have a 49TXi sso I'll try to help with some of the questions to the best of me knowledge. If you set the Sub in the AX's menu to THX the x-over frequency is automatically 80Hz...

    Pioneer Elite: Hype or HomeTheater Heaven?

    Pioneer 49 TXi is a great unit. Check my review here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hreadid=199863 and also go to the Flagship receiver forum. Till

    Earthquake Platine Noir New top line speakers

    This one is brand new and looks very interesting especially the center speaker. It's a complete 7.1 configuration. The center and mains use the passive SLAPS radiator. I have a Supernova MK IV 12P and it works splendidly so that's a promising start. There is one person over at AVS who has...
