    sound comparison, DT and Ascend

    I'm thinking about changing my speaker setup and would like some input. My theater room is in my basement, sheetrock walls with wall to wall carpeting, it's about 1900 cubic feet. Right now I have all definitive technology speakers; BP-6 mains, CLR2002 center and BP1.2X surrounds. I plan on...

    ebtech hum x

    Thanks guys, I think I will give the DCI unit a shot. The hum is not that bad and hopefully that will eliminate it. I tried to troubleshoot it today and the only way to get rid of it was to completely disconnect my sat receiver from the system. Plugging in even the audio cable or the...

    ebtech hum x

    Anyone have success using an ebtech hum x to eliminate hum after hooking up a BFD?? I hooked my new BFD up last week and was getting a hum in the sub and center channel. I am able to eliminate it by using a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter but I'm not too crazy about defeating the ground. I found it...

    Advantages of using a higher x-over point?

    I'm completely new to this so please bear with me guys. I read Vaughan's post and decided to give it a try on my system as well. I was listening to some music and felt the bass to be way muddy and slow. I switched the x-over to 60 from 80 and it is much better.I must have some kind of peak...

    SVS releases news on bookshelf & center

    Thanks Ron for your response. I do like my DT's but I'm very impressed with my pb-10 and the effort you put into your products to make them such a great value. From reading your posts here it's obvious you've put just as much effort into this new line. Just might have to give them a try when...

    SVS releases news on bookshelf & center

    Ron, Am I going to want to trade my def tech bp-6's, clr 2002 and bp1.2x's for your new speakers coming out? I'll be keeping my PB10-ISD though. I think I could get enough on ebay for the def techs to cover the cost....... looking forward to see what everyone thinks about them

    Can't play in DTS mode

    I didn't think to check the menu on the dvd when I started it,I'll have to remember that. I agree the dts sound was better, the surround effects were more defined. When I did get it set to dts and shut it off, I used the position memory feature and when I restarted it later it was still...

    Can't play in DTS mode

    Thanks for the welcome and the replies. Probably won't be posting much other than questions, as I don't know much yet. Charlie, you are right, the manual is pretty bad. I finally figured it out last night. I went back and checked the menu settings which appeared to be correct and it still...
