    HSU VTF3 Mk2 Sub - 2 months old

    One question that other people might have - was it originally purchased from HSU? The warrenty is transferable as long as it was originally purchased from them or an authorized reseller. I'd actually jump on this, it's a great price and I've been wanting to upgrade my STF-2... alas I just...

    HSU VTF3 Mk2 Sub - 2 months old

    Is the title right, this is a VTF2? If so you're selling it for $1 over HSU's price.

    "protect"

    Unplug and replug all your cables, taking care all your speaker cables are seated well. If you're using bare wire for your speakers re-twist the strands to make sure none are loose. Other possibility - does it have less ventilation than it use to? Protect mode can also be a sign of...

    Thinking of switching to Polk RTI's

    I'd go with the 10's over the 12's, most impressions I've heard indicate the 10 is more composed, and still packs quite a punch, plus it's quite a bit cheeper. I'd say get the 10's and buy a more powerful SVS if you care for more bass. FXi's are quite nice for the rear, as long as you have...

    Any recourse against false specs?

    See if your local District Attorney's office has a department of consume protecton, or something similar. When most companies get a call from a DA, even a local one, they tend to become more flexible.

    John Mayer Heavier Things SACD vs. Dual Disc - any opinions?

    I was looking forward to getting HT when I got my Denon 2900 in last week - what a disappointing SACD experience it has turned out to be. I have a Parasound 1203a, H/K AVR as a pre and Polk LSi9's - all of which seperately are generally described as being on the warm end of the audio spectrum...

    How is SACD with a sat/sub speaker system?

    First, the difference you're going to hear on low end spearkers is going to be negligable at best, unfortunately. Second, SACD and DVD-A will only output the Redbook CD layer of a Hybrid SACD through the Digital Output of any player. For copyright reasons, manufacturers are prohibited from...

    Best 2Chann Bookshelves for music at around 500

    What sort of amplification do you have, and what sort of music are you listening to? If you have around 150wpc into 4 ohms and don't like hard rock/metal, the LSi9's would be a great choice in my opinion (as a polkie). 9's will also give you all the bass you need, unless you're looking to dig...

    The Parasound AMP LOVE FEST Thread!!

    Just got a Parasound 1203A off Audiogon in almost mint condition. 2 days so far running like a champ - no hiss or any other sorts of problems, plugged directly into the wall. Now I just have to wait another day or two for my Polk LSi's to get here so I can give the amp a bit more of a...

    H/K 430 vs. Onkyo NR801 vs. Denon avr3805

    With LSi's you'll definitely want to go with seperates. Depending which models and how many LSi's you're using - and what volumes you like to listen at, a reciever alone may very well not be able to foot the bill. Do yourself a favor and get a decent pre/pro and an amp that can do at least...

    Bass Health Concerns

    I can listen to loud music in my car with 40w mids - 1000w subs aren't because you like to listen to loud music, they're because you're a jerk who likes to wake up neighborhoods at 3am or give me a headache while I'm stopped next to you at a traffic light. If only more of their lugs would...

    HK630 receiver setup, need a little help

    The LFE channel is only meant to be played through a sub, I'm not personally aware of recievers that will let you route it through your mains - I've read through my AVR330's manual and I haven't seen anything about it being possible. As long as your fronts are set to large, you'll still be...

    3 channel amps

    Parasound HCA-1203A $~1200 retail. Only 140wpc to 8/200wpc to 4, but close to what you're looking for. I'm picking one up a used for $500 :)

    Hsu Research STF-2 Subwoofer Test & Review

    It's hard to feel any better about my STF-2, but you bumped it a little :) Before the STF-2 I thought bass was neat, but it always gave me a headache. I can't stand more than 5 minutes of *boom**boom**boom* which is what 99% of the world apparently thinks composes bass, and all I had heard...

    Bose Is Boss

    It is hard getting the word out. Folks at work grab the Fry's ad every Friday and discuss the various deals. My 2nd or 3rd week at the job my manager says "Man, I'd like to get a set of those $800 Bose" - and on pure reflex I go into a monologue about what he just said. Well, he thought I...
