    B&W owners help me or I will cry!

    A buck for a DVD?! Damn! There's a retailer here in Cebu that carries B&W, bit more expensive than Manila. But when you think about airfare and lugging so many speakers, forget it I'll shell out the difference here! And 48 freakin degrees?! When it gets to 39 here I'm medium well! Anyway keep...

    B&W owners help me or I will cry!

    sniff, sniff. Gee thanks to all you experts out there. My work has currently thrown me to the Philippines for a extended period (til I get promoted to CEO or quit my job). It's great here, friendly people and all, but their home theater outlets are at their infancy and there aren't many people...

    Rectangular HT

    Damn you guys are good! Thanks a heap! Talk about a load off my mind. Do any of you have windows in your HT? I know this is not supposed to be, but I would like to take advantage of the mountain breeze to air the room once in awhile. I was just thinking of a slim single pane window on opposite...

    Rectangular HT

    Howdy experts, I am building a home theater from the ground up and have a 15 by 25 foot rectangular lot to make it. My question is that is a rectangular shape good for a dedicated home theater? I heard the front viewing area/wall should be either smaller or larger that the rear area/wall, is...

    Best bang for buck speaker system

    Howdy. I have read so much about the onkyo speaker system being so good it almost or is at par with more expensive bookshelf speakers like Energy Take 5.2, HSU Ventriloquist, Klipsch quintets and the B&W 300 series. Heck, CNET gives the onkyo a higher rating than any of the other brands. Since I...

    Front Projector Viewing Distance

    Howdy experts. I know the optimal viewing distance for regular TVs is based on the screen size, but how about front projection screens?

    Home Theater in a Cabinet

    Howdy experts, I've seen in numerous AV magazines pictures of RPTVs, speakers and AV equipment all tucked neatly away in a recessed wall or gigantic cabinet. Is this wise, especially for speaker sound? I understand more space and an exhaust fan for the AV equipment, but the speakers are my main...
