The external amps play louder, but don't necessarily improve detail, imaging, or sound stage mackie - you answered your own question. Unless you play at reference levels all the time and/or your home theater is HUGE, there will be very little improvement, if any. But, as others have noted, a...

i have the m22s and i have listened to polk's rti and lsi collection. the rti and the lsi have a far better lateral midrange than the axiom m22s have - i know... i was surprised too!! Joey_V - Would you please explain to me what lateral midrange is.

DonnyD: Try to get a copy of "The Haunting" in DTS. Corner load your sub, set it to 16 and recalibrate it. Then play the movie and be prepared for what is, quite possibly, the lowest, nastiest bass you have ever heard in a movie.

You have a choice of 2 different kinds of pussy - #1 cat or #2 girlfriend. I vote for #2.

Before you upgrade your receiver, I would suggest that you upgrade your sub and your surrounds. They are the weakest link in your chain right now. Unless your home theater is INCREDIBLY HUGE AND YOU PLAY AT REFERENCE LEVELS ALL THE TIME, the amp won't make as big a difference as you might think...

Thank you Danny! Sadly, the S97 DVD player, does not support SACD. A mistake IMO on Panasonic's part.

Does anyone know when these new products are going to be released? An e-mail to Panasonic has not been answered. Also, can anyone point me to a web page that gives the specs for the XR-70? I've decided that my next receiver is going to be digital. I'm curious how this one will compare to the H/K...

The best chance you'd have of getting a listen coming off of the street is Harvey's. They have a location on 45th between 5th and 6th avenues. Only a half a block down from Harveys on 45th street is a place called Sound City. They carry Paradigm, including the Signature series. Ask for Steve...

My husband just bought the RXV-750 on Friday and we're returning it to the store on the grounds of false advertising. Kelly: Which receiver are you going to get now?

E-mail the boys (Ron and Tom) for the answer [email protected]

The B&Ws and the JBLs seem to appeal most to me in terms of sound and price tag (~$1k). You answered your own question. These are the ones you need to listen to seriously and make a decision.

In 1968, Wendy Carlos" album, "Switched On Bach," opened me up to the realization that there was more to music than just my "Rock & Roll." Come back in 100 years and Wendy Carlos will still be listened to.

I've seen the yellow stuff in Walgreens drug store in the stationary isle for 2.99. I'm sure any drug store would carry it.

HT is about quantity, not quality. so, if you have good output, you will be set. Robert: Of all the out and out mis-information I see on these fourums, this ranks right up there with the worst.

I know you guys are going to say listen to them and decide but I have and still cant make up my mind. Since you can't make your mind, I suggest that you put your money in the bank until you can. People can offer suggestions, but no one but YOU should be making this decision. Since you haven't...

Until someone does a serious objective DBT between the Sigs and the Reference line, everyone's opinion is just that - an opinion. If you have the coin and like the Sigs, get them. My own speculation, is that like most ultra high end products, you pay a lot more to get an incremental improvement...

Get yourself the Paradigm Atoms. Then save your money and get yourself a nice sub. The Paradigm PDR-10 or the PDR-12 subs are small and relatively inexpensive.

From my understanding if you listen to a lot of music you are better off with the floor stands because most often then not they hit low notes better. In stereo mode the sub will not be used. Marc: Years ago, I would have agreed with your statement. However, the last few years have seen the...

I have a personal preference for standmount (bookshelf) speakers and a sub. However, my "home theater" is 13 by 18 with a 9 foot ceiling. I would have my doubts as to the ability of the 805's to fill a room that size to your listening satisfaction. Perhaps you could explain your situation to...

The thing is guys, this is more than just a place to go for product reviews. It's an online community and people like to share their excitment and joy regarding a new product. Kind of like talking about your new girlfriend. Most people involved in this hobby, have no one to share their...

Enjoy it Jan:)

Thanks Ron and Parker!!

For something your wife might like, look for any of the most recent three CD's from "Everything but the Girl". Its jazzy, light and loaded with deep bass that is skillfully integrated into well written and mixed music. Thanks Brian. I owe the girlfriend big time now. This sub is gonna cost...

Congratulations on your new PB2+!. Diana Krall's DVD-A disks are really good. Her "Live in Paris" DVD has an excellent DTS track. Blue Man Group's DVD-A Audio disk is also a lot of fun. Thanks Thomas. Gonna go to Virgin Records and J&R to check those and others out.

I love the PB2+ for music... pleeeeeeaaaaase take the time to post a lot of findings on music..... Most of the CD's we own are rock and pop and so the quality is not very good. I have to get some SACD's and DVD-A's now that I have a universal DVD player. I'm also going to look around for...

Have you tried listening to something a bit more musical with your new sub . Diana Krall - The sub demonstrates it's versatility. It's quietly effective on her music, without calling attention to itself and brutally powerful on DVD's when it needs to be.

This was the response I got from SVS: In that small of a room…16hz is the way to go…you’ll get strong output down to the 9-12hz range and a clean 115-118dB of bass with no problem at all..:) Thank you for the quick review, it is GREAT to hear the PB-2+ is working out so well for you Ben...

And it lives up to the hype!! I don't mean to sound like another SVS cult member, but the thing is everything people say it is - and more. Since Craig and Edward have done the technical thing in extrordinary detail, let me give you my non-technical impressions. When it first came, the delivery...
