I finally ordered the MTS towers a week ago and am enjoying them. They sound just great. The bass is much better and deeper than the bookshelf speakers. I find them a little warmer and more front/present as well. I doubt if there is any spot in my room that I have not tried putting the...
I checked out few pairs of B&W speakers at another dealer. He had it hooked with just an old receiver with an old DVD player; not enough acoustics in the room either. I played my own selected CDs. Out of few, i only liked the 804 series. They were warm and very present but not as natural and...
remember, those speakers you auditioned will sound totally different in your house. Well i did realize that where i checked the B&Ws, the room was full with acoustics. Also, there were multiple amps and EQ before the speakers. I took that in the consideration and also thought the SVS would...
Yes i sit on the couch, the dining table area, and stand in the center while listening to music. I checked the B&W CM7 today and they were great; however, i find SVS Book Shelf more clear and crystal than B&W. B&W did have very solid bass and front voice; great for Rock and 80"s music, but...
I never knew the difference in recording thats happening now days but i love the recordings of the 80's. Sounds so beautiful and flat yet i hate how the bass is mixed up in the latest R&B, Pop and all that... Most of the kids are listening to the trash; they always keep their ipods plugged...
Yes, i am going through the learning process. I saved this money to gear a very good system and i know that after this purchase, i will not make much purchase to it for a while and therefore, i don't want to adjust for little when i can get more. I am open to Full Range speakers too... to...
Okay, finally... Removing all the speakers and cables, I reconnected them precisely, aligned them with Denon at 6 different positions and played a DVD for with 5.1 options and it was great for the price. Then I played a classical CD with just the Stereo (2 speakers) on and the sound was great. I...
The "Pure Direct Mode" is more of playing the MP3 or compressed songs to ultimate performance mode... I turned of the Sub anyway as i am trying to concentrate on alignment and position.

Okay, Thanks for everyone's help. I painted flat white and i had a slight hot spots; althought the color was much much better than the cheap yellowish paint that i had before. Then i went and got ultra light gray and had 3 coats on that wall.. Aaahhhh.... That was all i needed. You know when...
My friend has 8 years old B&W speakers that costs $300.00. Don't know the model but the size it self is 11"x6"x7''; and she has a Sony receiver. Her room is Height 10.5f x ( L shape room 12f x 10f attached with 8f x 16f hallway) I have 22f x 12f with 8 f height which has 2 open entrance...
Hi Ed Moxley, Thanks again for replying and helping me… Yes, your recommendation was very handy and I also did an intense research prior the purchase. I don't doubt the quality of the speaker, they sound great; but not to my expectation and comparison to my friend's B&W speaker. I know I am...
I recently bought SVS's 5.1 MBS Book Shelf with a PC + Sub Woofer. It costs about $3700.00. I also bought a Sony Blue Ray DVD player and Denon 3808CI Receiver. Now this is suppose to be a very decent setup. However, i am not so satisfied with the outcome. My friend has B&W speakers which she...
Okay, and today, i have made the final choice and ordered the MBS 5.1 System with PC 12+ Subwoofer. Aahhh, major work done and now can't wait for everything to arrive and set up and get the party going. I will post another reply/review regarding the entire setup and performance. Thanks to...
To me, speakers are a life time investment. The average good quality speakers should coast about 2k-3k. Just like a Mercedez, Lincoln Town Car or BMW 7 Series, that range should go well for SVS, Mirage or B&W. SVS is 100 % best. Receiver, i just ordered Denon 3808ci, thats $1200.00 on Ebay, you...
OKay I ordered the Denon AVR-3808ci & Sony BDP-S350 Blue Ray Player. Will order the SVS speakers tomorrow. I still can't decide which one to go for. MTS-1 or MBS book shelf. I prefer the Book Shelf series if they sound as good as MTS. Few people said that considering the 20x12 room i...
The speaker cable also depends on how long it is. For shorter distance about 20 f, 14 AWG will do, about 20-40f 12 awg will do. There is a chart but i can't seem to find it. If you call Blue Jeans Cable, they will be able to provide you a chart where you can decide which cable is appropriate...
Hello everyone; once again, and your any help will be appreciated. I have the budget for both the speakers and do not want to settle down for lower quality. Yet, they both are high quality speakers. However, id o have a small room where i will use them. A 12 x 20 room with an open kitchen...
You should go with 10AWG from Blue Jeans Cable. Others will add more replies to your question but the answers are similar. If you really have an high-end system with excellent speakers, doesn't matter which company you select, you should go with 10 AWG. Good luck
If you wish to get the best out of best, you should go with Blue Jeans Cable 10 AWG. You spend about $20-$50 more based on the system you are planning, but for a 2k-3k system, you should go for this only. For a system that is cheap, it doesn't matter much...
Hello, I am in New York, obviously small apartment and everything small. I have a wall that i use as a projector screen. I can not afford to have a screen which will take over a lot of space in it self + mounting or the removeable to get damaged. Now the wall that i use has a cheap water...
Hello, Thanks for any possible help that comes; i am not technologically advance at the moment and need help. I bought a Sony Bravia projector and got rid of my TV; don't need it as i don't even have channel, dish or any cable in home. I only like listening classical and watching movies...
Okay, wow, I am so thankful for everyone’s reply here; it represents deep passion for technology and a profound choice of perfection. I had never thought that I would make such a great decession. All my friends bought junk and I thought that all was great. Now I know what to go for. So here is...
Okay, where do i start. Going through many cheap options in a dacade, i have saved $7k for the best audio systems. I need to upgrade everything. At the moment, I only have a Sony 60 CD changer & cassette player which was about $400.00 in 2002, Latest computer, and a Sony Bravia Projector. What...
