How about some good old stuff from The Sisters of Mercy? I never get tired of listening to these guys. Their song 1959 always makes the hair at the back of my neck stand. Check this out:

Hats off to Trent Reznor! His quest for the advancement of free artistry continues. http://remix.nin.com/ Everything there can be downloaded for free.

Wow, I hope this translates to something really good.

I've listened to these many times, for both movies and music, and I think these are very good speakers for its price, and are definitely worth considering. PS: By the way, I'm talking about the Bronze Reference series.

Thanks for the confirmation. It means that the mains aren't safe from the low frequencies with that kind of setup then.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was surprised to discover only this morning when I played it that Ghost Reveries is encoded as HDCD. :)

So, it means that the subs crossover acts as a LPF for the sub driver, and as a HPF for my mains? (AVR Sub Out - Sub - Mains)

With Onkyo AVRs, at least for the older models (I'm not sure about the new ones), you could still select your sub out on or off even in stereo mode. Anyway, I just have a question regarding the crossover built in with subs. If you use the high-level connections (fronts, for example), there...

Well, just before we end this one, a little something more. :) My original question was under the assumption that the complete responses of the two speakers were exactly the same, including every minute spike, peaks, dips, etc, and not just a 'summation response curve.' I'm still a bit...

My MA RS1's cannot handle a large setting, and I'd very much like to try a crossover of 60. Unfortunately, my receiver would only allow 80Hz. So I really don't know what I'm missing here.

I haven't had time yet to give Year Zero a real good listen, but it sounds promising indeed. NiN is one act I can really appreciate listening to in 5.1. I do hope they release a 5.1 version of The Fragile.

Interesting ideas guys. Anyway, the question came to mind because as I understand, everything that we hear can be translated / equated to corresponding frequencies, which is (roughly) represented by the response curve. (As a side note, the spectrum analyzer used by the fbi to identify voices...

Yup, I fully agree. By the way, have you guys seen Beside You In Time? I'll probably be picking that one up this weekend.

If two different speakers had an identical response curve, would they sound identical as well, in the same room? Just a thought.

I'm looking forward to the new album "Fear Of A Blank Planet" as well. The tracklist is quite short though. I wish they had at least 8 songs in it. Eric PS: Nice shirt John.

I have used 4 types of connections between my PC and Receiver. 1. SPDIF (RG6 Coax with RCA connectors) - soundcard 2. Optical (Toslink) - soundcard 3. Multichannel (multiple runs of minijack to RCA) - soundcard 4. Stereo minijack to RCA - motherboard

One way of doing a rough estimate is to check your unit's power consumption rating (W). Then, subtract something like 10% (or more?) since it uses power for other functions, and for sure, it is not 100% efficient. Divide the resuling difference by the number of channels and you'll get a rough...

Both cameras have their own merits, but the advantages of the V1 over the W1 are more prominent and the V1 was designed to be as close as possible to a professional camera, especially with its more flexible manual focus options. Another big plus for the V1 is the presence of a hot shoe for...

Bryan, So you're in the south huh? Well, the two B&W showrooms I know happen to be in Manila, but I'm pretty sure there are a lot of others which the folks at dvdpinoy might be able to refer. Happy hunting and yeah, hard to keep cool here when temperature's up at 48. :) Eric PS: How...

Hi Bryan! I'm glad you find my home country nice. So you'll be more familiar with the local HT/Audio scene, I would recommend you to visit pinoydvd.com (a local website) so you'll be able to gain local contacts and access local resources. There are a lot of 'less-known but more knowledgable'...

That was the question I had in mind when I was deciding on how to connect my CD player to my receiver. So now, I'm using RG-6 as a (1) sub cable, (2) digital audio cable for my DVD, and (3) analog interconnect for my CD player.

"If the amp is rated more than 50, then keep it below that." What I meant by 'it' is the playing level, and not the amp itself, just to make myself clear. :)

You can use it but know its limitations. Certainly, you can't push the center as hard as the mains can go, so keep your levels reasonable. If the amp is rated more than 50, then keep it below that. Of course, your mains would be undermaximized then.

Thanks for the advice. I might unknowingly be overdriving it a little too.

My sub is the Energy S10.2, it has two front ports, which I notice, could get a little noisy quite easily. I could hear air coming out of its ports from a distance of around 4ft, at certain frequencies (intro of Massive Attack's Angel for example). Is there a way to reduce this mechanically...

Why do I have this feeling somebody's gonna be spending a hell lot more than he intended to? :D Anyway, the cheapest and simplest solution is a 'home theater in a box.' But then, if you could shell out more, go Brian's way and procure each component separately, and you'll most probably get...

Thanks for the reply, Bruce. I was going to ask you about the connectors for the BFD; but then, I tried to search it on the web and got the answer. Thanks again. :) So, for the upper frequencies, do we usually leave them without any EQing?

Thanks for the replies so far guys. It seems that common to the three of you is that you EQ just the low frequencies. So for the rest of the frequency band, you would like to keep it pure? Is speaker placement then (with relation to room acoustics)only critical to the lower frequencies...
