Right. I can't seem to find anyone who has tried it or really has anything to say about it. So, I think you are right. The signal is simply being split. so, I'll give it a try.

I have a Creative S-750 7.1 speaker system conneted to a Creative DDTS-100 decoder. I use this setup for my home theater system. The decoder has typical analog, coax and optical inputs. It is connected to the speakers via a typical mini jack cable. Like the one that connects to a computer...

Right Robert. Sorry about that. What I meant by having someone shipping it is; Have it sent to a friend and then have that friend ship it to me. Even with the postage and the customs stuff it will be coniderably cheaper...

Thanks again. Don't worry Robert. I definitely am one to research. I will check some of your threads. I can only imagine some of the fun stuff you get to deal with. regarding PR vs. sealed. I really don't care. All I want is to be able to hear low music notes clearly as well as deep bass...

All sounds very good. Thank you very much. diysubwoofers.org is the place for me. Thank you again. I found a cool track for testing the awe striking power of a good speaker system. Cick on this---> Sound Effects Library Search Results It is a sound recording of a shuttle launch. Turn it...

Thanks a million! Some of the things you mentioned I have already seen and earmarked as attractive. Hmm? You really know your stuff. Mainly here, ELAC, JBL, Klipsch and Teufel seem to reign supreme. It seems that the amount of 'room' in the enclosure is very important for tuning. For PR...

Right you are RobertL about user knowledge needed to keep from destroying a sub. The one I currently have has a VERY BAD rep for failing. In my case I use it like crazy for music and movies. It rocks the house. The trick,, to this one is that I never turn it up past 40% power. It seems to be way...

Well, all this is really getting me going in a particular direction. What I mean is; I have become audiophilic,, is that a correct word? , over the past several years. I found myself wanting the sound to be better and better. Where this has me today is HERE! Talking to you fine folks and...

All very good info Max. Thank you! I did go to a demo auditorium in a big electronics store and I learned some things. I listened to, via a computerized selector, various speakers varying in price from $400- $2000. Between a JBL $400 speaker and a ELAC $2000 speaker I could tell a difference but...

Ok. Thats fair I guess. 'Reasonable' to me is about $200.00 for the satellite speakers and about $300.00 for the left, right and center. About $1000.00 for the sub. About $1000.00 for the AV receiver. Hows that?

Thanks all of you. Thank you Robert for taking the time. I am taking all you offered and researching it. so far, you are an ACE! Thanks again. I was in Saturn Electronics yesterday (Germany). The speaker demo area. I came home a little confused. BUT! After reading what you said about the...

I was in a audio store and someone was demoing ElAc speakers that were $10,000 bucks each. The CD he had on was some blues music. The vocals coming out of there sounded like the singer was right there! I just want something better than what I have. I have bookshelf 110 watt front and...

Robert. Thank you very much! My budget,, Don't worry! I want good and I am willing to fork out for it. It's just that My ear is good for sound but my experience is not good enough. That is why I am here talking to you good folks. You asked what I meant by ''hi level'' Well, it was enough to...

Dave, Thanks for responding. Budget? About $1500 for the sub. Room size? Living room is 20 by 30 ft. Office is 12 by 26 ft. What do you think? Interesting what you said about the low freq. I am careful with my sub and when I hear this flubb, I immediately turn it down. What can I do about it...

My current sub (Creative S-750) works pretty good but, I have noticed some new movies with good sound tend to overtax it causing this flubbing sound. King Kong sounds very good at high levels. the floor and walls will vibrate. But! The newest Batman movie causes the bass to flubb bad! Is this...

What is the minimum wattage a bass should have. I play music and movies and sometimes can tell the difference in audible,, discernable sounds with different basses. For example, I have a 210 watt bass with a 10 inch driver that will reproduce low sounds where a 25 watt and a 50, with 6 inch...

Infinity cascade.

Thank you Jeff. and the other for leads. So, the cable (HDMI 1.3) and the receiver must be 1.3 capable. The DVD player? Must be 1.3 so that it can pass on the decoded info? Is this it?

I bought projector screen fabric, 100 by 80 inches for 50 bucks, mixed a gray blend of paint for 20 bucks and sprayed the screen. It works pretty good. I have a Epson powerlite 720. 8000:1 contrast. This light gray screen works excellent. good enough for now. 'till I can buy a HD proj.

Little help here. I am having difficulty determining what all has to be HDMI 1.3 supportive. simply put, I want all that I have to be able to take advantage of 1.3 for HD vid/aud. So, what all has to be HDMI 1.3? AV rec, TV, DVD player or projector, speakers, cables,. Can someone help with...

I have been messing about with mine for a while. Heres the here is: I bought a Epson powerlite home cinema 720. Researching screens, I found that a particular shade and texture that is gray works best. I tried black, white and everything in between. I ended up buying projector screen fabric from...

Well ok then. Everyone that used to be here are either dead, drugged or,,, I give up! What?

This info is quite helpful. Good job!

New to this whole thing. Currently I have a speaker system meant for computers. It is the Creative Gigaworks s-750 7.1. It is connected to my home ent. stuff via a DDTS decoder by creative. Really I am quite surprised with the quality of sound from this system! the Bass is quite good. 210w and...
