I've got a HTS with a Yamaha RXV-1400 and a Screenplay 7200. I've had the system going for a few months now. In the last few weeks, we've noticed that the sound is lagging about a second behind the picture--which is REALLY annoying during dialogue. It's occurring on both Directv and DVD. Has...

I bought a house from someone who had installed a 5.1 HTS. When he left, he took everything but the center channel speaker, which is buried inside some crown molding. It has an immovable grill in front. Unfortunately, I cannot tell exactly what type of speaker is in there and would need to rip...

I just got my SVS PB2+ and, like the other happy owners here, I am amazed at how it shakes the house. I have not really taken it out for a true test drive yet, but look forward to doing so. I do have several questions: 1. I have one neighbor. His house is about 25 feet from my listening room...

I just bought a PB2+ and am hooking it up tomorrow. It seems to me that some nice high-quality nuclear explosions would really bring out the low bass. I've poked around with Google, but haven't found any high-quality recordings on the web. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can track down...

I know that the general rule is to timbre match the front and center channel speakers. Obviously, the easiest way to do this is to match speaker brands and lines. However, if I want to mix and match speaker brands, how would I go about timbre matching? Do I need to do this qualitatively by...

Hello all. I have a quick question. I am installing a home theater system with a front projector. The audio system will include an SVS box sub (either a PB1-Plus or a PB2-Plus). We will have a second tube television (19" or 27") that we will use when we are not using the front projector. The...

What do people think about this brand? The prior owners of my house had installed a HTS. They had put the center channel inside some crown molding. I had been under the impression that they had taken the center channel when they moved. It turns out that they didn't--it is still up there. I...

Hello there. I am installing a home theater system. I'll have an 82" 16:9 screen. The room will have a decent amount of ambient light. The windows will be open during the day, but no light from the windows will shine directly on the screen. The interior lights can be dimmed, but probably will...

I'm buying a 5.1 system. I'll mainly use it for home theatre. It will be in my family room, which has 10 foot ceilings. It's probably 12 feet deep and 23 feet long (it opens into a kitchen and breakfast area). I'm planning on the Yamaha RX-V1300 receiver ($600). I'm leaning towards an HSU or SVS...

I'm getting a 5.1 system for a home theater. Probably will be getting the Yamaha RX-V1300. Not sure what other speakers I'll be getting yet. On the subwoofer, I'm torn between the SVS 20-39CS, the HSU VTF-2, and the Klipsch RSW-10. SVS is probably my first choice, but my wife really wants a box...
