    Bose.... Buy Other SUSPENSION Equipment?

    Apparently Bose found a link between the speaker market and suspensions. :confused: http://www.bose.com/learning/project...on_results.jsp This is just ridiculous to me and makes me wonder if their Suspensions will all be marketing as well.

    just bought a energy 5.2 with denon avr1804

    Well you can get shelves just about anywhere. I'm sure even Home Depot or Lowes have some basic shelving. The hard part is finding shelves that have bracketless supports. I think Ikea has a good selection though, and they are known for having low price, good quality product.

    just bought a energy 5.2 with denon avr1804

    I have the takes and had the same problem with the center channel. No way to wall mount it. I had to buy some shelves to place the front 3 speakers on. My tv is reccessed into the wall so the shelves looked good. If you do go with shelves be careful. The speakers weigh enought that they could...

    Denon AVR1804

    My first home theater setup worked perfectly the first time I set it up. I used the Denon manual solely and had no problems. Seemed quite clear to me what to do :)

    Subwoofer calibration for HT is a pointless waste of time

    This really surprises me that no one ahs directly adressed this issue. How am I, as a user, supposed to get my "reference level" if I cant get a measureing device that is the same as the engineer's. :confused: And all of you people who say you get your speakers to refrence level and then...

    Samsung HLN507W

    I have the 43 inchers and its great.... but Like the person who posted before me said. "at one point you have to jump in" If you wait for it to be there.... You will never have a TV.

    I searched the FAQ and.....

    I could not find any information on Mono blocks? I want to know about these and what they are (amps from what I have read) and how they work. And why in so many cases people reccomend them for BIG budget people? I basically want to know everything about them. :D I even did a search for...

    Energy Take 5.2 versus HSU Ventriloquist VT-12

    I own the 5.2's and love them.... the biggest flaw is that all 4 satallites coming with great wall mounting set ups built in tilting and turning. :D But the center channel has none of this and has no built in hardware to wall mount it. So the solution is to put it on the TV (most likely...

    Holy Cow! Take A Look At These Speaker Systems!!!!

    You know what was really funny is now that that the term "white van speakers" have become so common they are changing their tactics. Some guy by my local best buy was selling speakers, or trying to before he got kicked of the property, out of a GREEN SUBBURBAN!!!!!! I was going to talk cheese...

    Energy Take 5.2 Small or Large Setting?

    If I am not mistaken you can get a pair of Energy Conn. C-1's for 300/pr. But this would put you at the edge of your budget with no center. It is possible, though unlikely, to find the three fronts for around 300. If not I reccomend the rest of the take 5.2 set up.,I have these I and I love...

    looking for a 5.1/6.1 setup for ~$500

    I have to reccomend the Energy Take 5.2... its $600 without a sub but I absolutely love it. Stay away from their subs not the best bang for your buck. So check out one of the other subs everyone else is reccomending. I have these and they are great. Plus in the Maple finish they are...

    When Denon AVR 3805 will be on the market?

    So with the 3805 coming out I can expect the 3803 to drop in price.... sweet because although good, my 1603 just doesn't have the juice I want for the upgrade path I'm looking at. What a great day when something new comes out... for us who don't need the latest and greatest at least :D

    Energy Connoisseurs, warm or bright sounding?

    I would seriously consider the C-7. IMHO its the best in the Connoisseur line. I don't know what it is about it that makes me like it more. I think the C-9 is just slightly more muffeled. (Not that theses speakers are muffeled but I don't know how else to say it) Plus it cost less :D I second...

    I need surge protection for just my tv!

    I'm in a situation where I have all my components, except the tv, on a surge protector. The reason my tv is not on that surge protector is that I would have to run a visible extension cord to the location of the surge protector, and I really don't want that. :frowning: Right now it is in its...

    Do I need a professinal to calibrate my TV?

    Chris that is exactly the responce I was hoping for. Of course I will take your guy's advice and use a calibration disc, and if I really feel that I need more from my set I will call a pro. Thx a lot everyone!!! :D :D

    Do I need a professinal to calibrate my TV?

    Well I am glad to say I have finally purchased a 43" sammy DLP and its coming wednesday!!! :D :D :D But my question for you guys is do I need someone to come to my house and 'profesionally' calibrate it. Or if I use Avia or one of those types of disc will it be just as good? What exactly can...

    "Baltic Birch" Plywood

    For that cheap it would almost be cheaper for you to buy me some and have it shipped to me!! Very lucky... my local yard is about 55-60 bucks for a 5'x5' sheet.

    Taking the Plunge!!! (But I have some questions?)

    After a long time reasearching I have decided to go with a Sammy 43" DLP. It sounded like the perfect fit for my needs. But now I have a few questions. First I am planning to get it from Best Buy since it's the best deal I can get. But I'm guessing they don't have the best customer service...

    Are all Bose speakers bad?

    I don't really think that any functioning speaker is a bad speaker... But when you try to sell me something that cant even reproduce some of the more important frequencys in the range of human hearing. Then you try to tell me that it is the ultimate sound and sell it to me at a ridiculous for...

    Does a PE amp come with everything I need to connect it to the sub?

    I was wondering about this. I am about to order a shiva MKIII and a PE 250w amp and put it all in the adire vented design box. But Will the amp come with the wires or whatever I need to connnect it to the sub? Or do I still need to buy something else?

    So where can I buy a rythmik amp??? Right now I'm leaning towards the AV12 an likely going to buy a prebuilt enclosure from stryke audio. Then finish it up my self to my exact liking.

    I want to build a Sub - Need recommendations

    Hmmmmm now I'm really torn between the tempest and the AV12. I was practically ready to get the tempest but now looking at the AV12 I'm wondering again. But a couple of questions? Can the AV12 bet set up for downfiring? And what type of enclosure. I like the fact that the adire site gives...

    I want to build a Sub - Need recommendations

    Yeah it is Bass... I just hate that word... Whenever I see it I always say bass as in the fish. What I mean by the output part is that My wife HATES bass. She says it hurts her ears. So when she is around I want to be able to turn down the sub and have it not give off so much bass. Even...
