Jeff, maybe my story can give you some guidelines... I installed a modest HT for friends of my parents. Didnt really know them at all myself. So I set a 'flate rate' price in my head of what I thought would be a fair number that they wouldnt balk (bawk?) at and make my parents look bad. I...

I have settled on the Tempest in the adire designed EBS alignment. I have the 250w PE plate amp waiting, but I was wondering: I have a Carvin Pro Bass 500 bass head, which can go 500 watts bridged mono @ 4 ohms with speaker level outputs. Is it possible to use this in a home theater setting? I...

I have heard that NAD receivers will drop the digital signal at the beginnings of tracks as it re-aquires the bitstream. Has any one used non-NAD brand "omni-decks" (will play dvd, dvd-a, SACD, CD, CD-R, etc) like Denon's DVD-5900 or Onkyo's DV-SP800 with a NAD receiver (specifically the T752)...

I purchased my T752 on a end of model year closeout (a screamin' deal) which would lead me to believe that there might be a T753 on the way as well....?

I would recommend the NAD receivers. I have had denons for years; old STR-375 stereo amp and more recently the 1803 for 50% music/30% HT/20% xbox. Recently I bought the T752 and IMO it is a superior receiver, particularly for music. The features on it are also much better than any denon receiver...

I had this exact scenario happen to my DPS-10 sub that I bought refurbished from the harman audio website. What actually happens is there are two capacitors that are undersized/too low power handling and they fry. I had them replaced by a local electrician for $50 and its been fine since. Wish I...

I have noticed that a number of floorstanding speakers from 5-8 years ago (ie. Infinity's RS-5s) and a few from today (ie PSB's Stratus Silver(i)) use a vertical MTM (mid, tweeter, mid) alignment. All of the speakers I have seen at the local Circuit City are in a vertical TMM (tweeter above two...

Thanks alot for the response! I knew something was not adding up with the salesman's arguement. Brian: While there is the potential for cancellation with the front ported alignment, are there any disadvantages to the rear port?

Yesterday I went to my local Hi-end audio store to give some speakers a listen. I auditioned the Paradigm Monitor 11s and also listen (briefly) to some Klipsch RF-7s. The sales associate assisting me was, lets say, very opinionated, and said something that I had never considered or heard before...

DO NOT DO IT. The drivers used in Hi-Fi/home audio are constructed quite differently than those intended for pro sound/sound reinforcement. It may seem like a good idea now, but it is not. Tom

I like the way the Klipsch sound on orchestra and jazz; sometimes rock music, particularly the voice, gets a little harsh. I have always enjoyed infinity's sound; I have some old Qe speakers from 1980 that sound awesome. Thanks for all the responses! Tom

I am looking to spend between $800-$1500 on a set of mains for my Stereo/HT setup. Its about 65% music (mostly classical and jazz) and 35% movies. Ive done extensive listening to Infinity's Alpha 40s and 50s at the local Circuit City and my friend has a brand new pair of RF-5s Ive heard quite a...

Hey Mike, This website is a good resource for old Infinity speakers and has a link to a crossover schematic that may help. http://oellerer.net/infinity_classic...y_rs_1000.html Good Luck. Tom
