    Are my out of phase Diploes out of whack?

    I have a set of energy C-R3 mono/Bi/Di Pole speakers. My question is, since there are no right and left markings, is there a chance that the FORWARD firing midrange on the Left is in phase with the REAR firing Midrange on the Right? Shouldn't both FRONT be firing in phase, and both REAR...

    Projector Screen Question

    I have read way too much about aspect ratio. I have confused myself. I bought a 2.35:1 ratio screen. Will 2.35:1 movies fill the screen from my Yamaha DPX 1100, or will I need a lens? I understand 16x9 will leave bars on the side. If this seems elementary, I apologize, just got very confused.

    Using Powered sub to power passive sub?

    I just got a new passive sub, but will not have a seperate amp for a few weeks. My question is can I use the speaker hookups on the powered sub to power the passive sub? Since I am using the LFE Pre out on my Amp, will the sub crossover interfere with the signal? The reason I ask is that I...

    I have a 14 x 22 theatre, with 7.1. I have been trying for months to get the system to blend and sound natural.I finally did, but not by usual methods. I spent money on SPL meters, Calibration Discs (DVE, AVIA),and software. Thought I had it down, and sounding great. Then, had a couple of...

    Subwoofer Placement

    I just finished my Basement HT room. It sounds great, except for the bass, which has dissappeared. My room is 20'L x 14'W and I have an 7'8" ceiling. I used to run the front speakers 8'apart, with the sub in the bottom of my stand. It sounded great. Now, the speakers are 11' apart and...

    Delay Times and Distance

    The only reason I am messing with the delay is so that the receiver processes differently. I have set my speakers to the actual distance. I wish the manual explained the relative delay section better. As I understand it, the receiver processes the signal for the distances I have programmed, then...

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    I know Blu Ray may be the next best thing, but how soon will it really be mainstream? I just bought a Pioneer Elite DVD player, and after hearing about BluRay, I feel like I just got kicked in the balls. How soon will my high end DVD player become a very expensive paperweight? Is this just...

    Toshiba 65H84. Too much Blue!! Service Menu Access??

    I am hoping to buy a Toshiba 65" RPTV (LCD and DLP RP do not offer better PQ for the dollars in my opinion). After looking for about 2 weeks,(and hearing every sales pitch in the world), I think the Toshiba is the best value. However, the floor model in the store has a horrible blue tint to it...

    Jbl S120pii Subwoofer Question

    Do I still use the sub out from my Onkyo? Will the sound actually suffer by doing it like this, or is it better. In other words, should I need to do this to a high end receiver? I was thinking about buying a seperate amp to run my fronts, but if this will work away we go. Just looking for...
