Just looking for some opinions and suggestions with the purchase of 2 in-wall speakers for surrounds. I'm currently using a good ol' HK AVR 7200 with Ascend Acoustic Sierra 1 speakers for my LCR channels. Our living room has us rather limited in our placement of surround speakers. For the time...

Hey Everyone, Back in March of 04' I purchased a Harman/Kardon AVR 7200. The members of this forum were so helpful and so informative that my purchase was based almost solely on the help I received here. I could not have been happier with my purchase and the 7200 was perfect for my wants and...

It’s amazing how much more you learn about HT technology when you are in the market to make an upgrade or a large purchase. I’ve been holding out on the purchase of a new television to ensure I would have a 1080p input. To be honest, I’m relatively torn at this point between one of the new Sony...

I've had my beautiful PC-Ultra for a relatively short period of time and my need/greed to have even more power at my disposal is slowly getting the better of me. I was wondering what most people here would prefer to do if they had an option. Own 2 PC-Ultras or 1 PB12-Ultra/2? No...i can't...

Hi Everyone, Well I just had my power go out for the first time in years and I'm all paranoid about my electronics and have decided i want to invest in a UPS system for my computer and HT needs. I'm not sure if specific models and brands of my equipment are important but i would like to protect...

Hey People, I recently re-arranged my room and am going to calibrate my setup yet again. I'm not sure why things are so different but I think it may be a problem with the phase and/or my needing to use the PEQ. When using the Avia disc and am making the SPL meter read the same between my main...

I just got my Pc-Ultra today and I had it delivered to my parent's house since I was going to be at work. I went home during my lunch hour and didn't have much time so I just took the RCA's that were hooked into their sub and put them into the inputs of the Ultra. First off... yeah... shook the...

Hi Everyone, I believe it’s been over a year since I’ve been on these forums and I’ve recently gotten back into trying to develop my home theater and music experience. I currently have the HK7200 Receiver, a pair of the Ascend Acoustic CMT-340 Mains and the CMT-340 Center. After getting this...

This is a picture of my receiver that I am currently having issues with. I allowed my friends to watch a DVD while I was gone and they couldn't figure out how to change the inputs at first so they were just pushing a lot of buttons. Anyway, here's a closer look at what i'm about to talk about...

Hello Everyone, I recently had my monitor (ViewSonic p225f) completely fry and I'm now in need of some advice for a new monitor. Normally I would spend a lot of time searching the forums for what people have reccomended in the past and what most people think. However, as my only way to go...

Just out of curiousity...anyone here play Ultima Online?

Hey Guys And Gals, I am hoping to make a subwoofer purchase by late May or early June. Due to this sickness I have in which I must have more power before I even have any, my original budget of about $600 seems to be in the process of stretching out to $1200. (Just please don't tell my g/f)...

Hey Everyone, I recently purchased a new tv stand that could hold my hk7200 (damn thing is so big) and I am still thinking it's running a tad warm. I gave it 6.5 inches between the shelf directly above it and about an inch on each side while I didn't even put the backing on the stand when I put...

Hey Everyone, I recently received my l/r 340's from Ascend and omg they are amazing. The clarity and accuracy of these speakers made every type of music I listened to sound clean and crisp. I am using the HK7200 for my receiver and I love everything except the remote. Anyway, upon my...

Hey Everyone, Currently I don't have my receiver in any kind of enclosure because the beast would not get enough air if I put it in my TV center. Anyway, my apartment has a slight dust problem and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for ways to keep the dust out. When I put my computer...

Hi Everyone, I'm going to try and avoid using brand names in hopes of avoiding some bias. I am debating between two subwoofers and when it comes to specs (I know it's not everything) they are pretty identical. However, the big difference is that one is a cylinder and the other is a box...

Hey Guys, Where should I go to try and set up or find someone in my area where I can audition some SVS subs? I live in Costa Mesa and was able to go to the Hsu Research center in Anaheim, and I can not say enough good things about what I heard. I'm pretty much sold on the VTF-2, but I would...

Hi Everyone, I have recently purchased ascend's l/r 340's and they should be arriving on the 15th. Due to a budget I am having to decide between getting a subwoofer (VTF-2) or the 340c (center speaker). I know they are very differeny in price, but I really am only able to shell out enough for...

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to give an update for those people who helped me with their suggestions. I am now a proud owner of an HK 7200. As of now, it's functioning as a giant paperweight as I do not have speakers yet. ;) However, just yesterday I placed my order for a pair of Ascend l/r 340's...

Hi everyone, You may or may not remember that I have recently purchased a harman kardon avr-7200. Anyway, due to the size of the unit, i have decided against putting it inside of my shelving unit with my dvd player and Tivo. (it is just a little too small. Well, I would like to put it on my...

Hey Everyone, My roomie and I throw occasional parties and as you can guess...I don't want the visitors that are enjoying themselves near my stuff.(Drunk moochers) Anyway, i've decided that until I move out with my g/f I will have my setup in my room. I am on the verge of getting the Ascend...

Well, I received my HK 7200 receiver and haven't taken it out of the box yet as I have not completely decided whether to keep it due to financial reasons. Anyway, I finally decide to measure my entertainment space and realize that I will need to cut a hole in the back to make it fit as the...

Hi Everyone, Back in October I purchased this television (in subject line) and worked wonderfully for the first month or so. After a while I began to notice that after the television has been left on for over 5-6 hours (and yes, it is being watched...not just left on forever) it begins to make...

Hi Everyone, I’m new to these forums, and I’d like to take a moment to just say hi and sort of introduce myself before I ask away with my millions of questions. When it comes to music and sound quality in general I consider myself to be a relatively good judge. Throughout my life I have...
