Man I hate that we show most of the US shows (esp. trash like Friends all the time) but our classics are never/hardly shown in the US at all (or perhaps only on BBC America)...stinks if you ask me.. Blackadder Fawlty Towers Only Fools and Horses Rab C Nesbitt Father Ted I understand...
Will this great TV series be released in America? Have you guys across the pond watched it? Can you understand the heavy Govan accent? (especially in the first series) :D
I've just bought some Beyerdynamic DT 241's..quite nice sound, good low end. Not great isolation but obviously better than open. Pretty cheap too. http://www.beyerdynamic.com/com/prod...eets/d742.php3
If your speakers sound nice to you, why not just buy a poweramp? A second hand high powered two or three channel poweramp will upgrade your system, and also allow you to play at your level more cleanly.
I would buy a identical subwoofer, you don't want two different subwoofers...buy another Klipsch 10". Although it's probable a single high quality sub (HSU, SVS etc) will outperform a dual Klipsch 10" system.
nah, it's just the walls do not transmit or flex with the vibrations, there's also much higher sound isolation (brick, brezeblock, padding, then brick) I guess if you live in a condo you've only got plasterboard then padding and outer woodwork. At least our houses have some use, they might be...
You know, American houses must be made out of cardboard. What with all this "my SVS shakes the whole house" I've ramped my PC Plus up and you can't even hear or feel it the other side or the house. And you can't really feel or hear it outside either, even 6' from the wall. Our house is...
Sounds like you should calibrated your system, adjust the dynamic range compression setting, or buy a better speaker (with the last definite improvement over budget centres, centre mix is more intelligible)
Sound quality, easy of use, configurability, Logic 7 & processing..but as you said lacks multi-channel input, component switching. I've had a Rotel av pre-amp. Suffice to say I'll never buy another Rotel av or stereo pre-amp. They aren't that great for music either. Their poweramps are good...
Yes you'll blow the amp up, in both cases (two channels to one speaker, two amps to one speaker) You can use A-B switch to bi-wire, however no difference at all. Just use output wiring, as described in the manual.
You could eat them! :-D mmmmmm.. and dipoles work fine in audio systems, in fact I use dipoles & bipoles for surround duties. So if they're perfectly good speakers and have suitable low-end near to your av amps crossover, and don't sound rubbish you can use them.
blech...I thought you were looking at QUALITY speakers? M&K make some "Plasma" S-150 type speakers, certainly very low profile. Why the fuss about in-walls? If you buy bi/dipoles similar in colour to the wall they really do disappear. Normal surround speakers are cheaper too. You can...
Yeah I was thinking the same John T...difference is only £60, at least full warranty, brand new and latest version (perhaps his PCi is the older type?)
Kef Ci 130DS? Not sure of the price though. Poor upper frequency response too. http://www.kef.com/products/ciseries/ci130ds.html I wouldn't recommend mounting speakers in the ceiling; stick to installing in the vertical walls. Inwalls generally cost more than their standard speaker...
Is it really save worth a few quid to buy a refurb? I somehow doubt you'll get a full warranty exactly like a brand new unit, most probably 90 days at best. Didn't that one bloke here buy a refurb HK? Then went faulty, as basically no-one wanted to know? And what happens if it blows your...
$800 CDN isn't going to get you a high quality pair of floorstanders. Although if you look around should get a pretty reasonble pair. I would look at standmounts, or second hand floorstanders. Check ebay, and go visit some dealers. No point recommending brands as you might not like the...
I totally forgot about them... which is a bit funny as I have a pair of BP-2X's on the back wall, and they were my last "audio bit" purchased! so should have popped into my mind..I guess don't stare at the back wall so just forget :D
If cost is no option- very high quality towers. Standmount and subwoofer is fine, but once you hear some of the larger higher end floorstanders a standmount/subwoofer cannot compare. You'll get stereo low bass with towers, which is impossible with a single subwoofer (dowmixed stereo) But if...
Component cables are just 75 Ohm coaxial cables, either termintated in RCA or BNC. They're also used for the "digital audio output" from DVD players to AV amps, DAC's etc. Also used for Composite video. Optical cables are Toslink to Toslink (for home audio) plastic or glass. £10-£20 for a...
If you mean using the HK for perhaps front three, whilst Technics for surrounds, or vice versa, and your HK has pre-outs for the channels you want, and you don't short out anything in the process, or have ground porlbems, then yes.
You need to give rear-facing ported speakers some room, at least a few inches. If you really want flush mounted speakers, replace them with in-wall speakers designed with sealed enclosures.
