    RCA Cables

    This is a very vague question. It will depend alot on the what the source is. IF you have a good sound card and a great speakers you might notice a difference. If you don't have an amazing sound card and speakers then I would just get some regular RCA cables. Don't get the crap ones, just get a...

    563A Problem?

    I am sure it is just the layer change. I can deal with it, no big deal. I was just wondering if there was a problem with my player. I am pretty sure it only happens once per disc, I just watch movies alot and imagining that it happens more then once in a movie. Thanks guys. One more question...

    563A Problem?

    I recently purchases a Pioneer 563A dvd player and it seems to skip when viewing dvds. These are brand new dvds, and it only does it once or twice a movie and always in the same spot. I heard that it is becuase it is switching layers on the dvd or something. Is this true or what is wrong?

    BB discount on Klipsch

    this may be a stupied question to ask but since I have been reading the forums, how much better are the klipsch then the JBL NSP set. I have listened to klipsch and I know I like them, but have not listend to the JBL. My final decision on the fronts is the SB-2's with the SC-1 center and I am...

    BB discount on Klipsch

    hmmmm, Chris says the SS-1's as rears where as everyone else has suggested the SB-1's. I really respect Chris's opinions on klipsch though becuase he has owned them before. Can I ask why or why not to get the SB-1's or SS-1's as rears? Also I want to keep the cost down and since I have a STF-2...

    I get the SB-1's for $100, the SB-2's for $140, and the SB-3's for $180. Those are all prices for the pair. I get the SS-1's for $160. I also get the SC-1 for $140. I was planning on getting a pair for Sb-2's, the SC-1, and the SB-1's for surrounds. What do you guys think?

    SS-1 vs SB-1 as surrounds

    How do they compare? Is the SS-1 really necessary? The SB-2's will be used as the mains.

    BB discount on Klipsch

    I work at best buy and have finally decided on klipsch speaker. I am not sure to get the SB-2's or Sb-3's as mains. I will get the SC-1 as the center channel. I am also not sure the get an actual surround speakers or just get the SB-1's as the rear surrounds. I will power them with an HK225 if...

    Jbl S38

    I have built a HT system for my dorm and have a ventriloquist system already, I am very happy with the STF-2 but I am looking for a little more then sats can offer. I don't have enough money to purchase a pure bookshelf 5.1 setup. So I am wondering how the JBL S38's just as 2 fronts channels...

    Problem with HSU or me!!!

    bump, come on guys. I just need to know how HT would sound in a dorm on a nice pair of bookshelves versus a 5.1 setup of the ventriloquist.

    Problem with HSU or me!!!

    I noticed the problem when a plane was flying in a movie. My parents have 8 year old B&W floor standers, dual speaker center channel, and paradigm surrounds. I feel with my new setup that I am not getting the amount of midbass I would like. I know its not fair to compare the 2, but I am just...

    Problem with HSU or me!!!

    I am also very seriously considering the HTM-200. My main question is if only 2 channels off excellent speakers, will be better then the ventriloquist.

    Problem with HSU or me!!!

    Alright I have purchased a sony 27" TV, a STF-2, Harman 225, Pioneer 563A, and the ventriloquist system. I am very happy with everything except the speakers. I was brought up with B&W speakers and I think I was just expecting to much. I know they are suppose to take care of the midbass problem...

    Need a very fast response

    I already have the Ventriloquists on order but they haven't shipped yet. Should I cancel and get the JBL NS-P1II or keep the hsu verntriloquist vt-12. I don't understand why the sats on the ventriloquist are 1 way. But after hearing so much great stuff about HSU I decided to get then. This will...

    STF-2 troubleshooting, no LED

    thanks, that really stinks. Hopefully I will receive the new sub by the time my ventriloquist and HK 225 arrive.

    STF-2 troubleshooting, no LED

    I just received my STF-2 and was so excited to hook it up, I used the high level inputs. I haven't received my HK 225 yet, so I used the speaker wires from my Kenwood shelf system. When I turned it on, no LED or noise. I looked in the manual and it said the power cord is hooked up incorrectly or...

    Ordered my HSU STF-2 sub.

    I ordered it from Comp USA in Chicago. They had 2 left before I bought mine. I got if for 349.99. I am so happy. I can't wait to hear a real sub. I do have a problem though. I don't know what speakers to go with it. I was thinking the ventriloquists. Would this make a good match you think? Or...

    HK receiver

    I am also considering some paradigm speakers. Possibly front Titans, rear Atoms, and not sure about the center. What do you guys think about this setup. Also how would it compare to the HSU Ventriloquist?

    HK receiver

    I will be going to college next fall and am going to build the best HT system I can get with my limited money. This system will be going in a dorm.

    klipsch vs HSU

    I am looking into getting a speaker system for my dorm. I work at best buy and can get the Klipsch 12sub and quintet system for $500. Or I could get the Ventriloquist VT-12 and the STF-2 sub. Which system would be better over all, and which sub is superior. I will be running these off a HK225...
