I don't know what you are referring to. Aware me. :)

Evolution of sub. Polk PSW10...BIC F12...SVS PB-2000. 105 pound dog included in image for size reference. Even though I put the PB-2000 mid-wall in a huge room (5,400 cubic feet + it opens to other rooms) it's output is pretty damn impressive. I had high expectations and it delivers. I...

The Denon AVR-X1000 arrived today. I am very happy to have made that upgrade. Going from the old crappy speakers I had to the Pioneer Andrew Jones setup was a big improvement and about what I expected...but going from the old Sony AVR to this Denon was more of an improvement than I hoped for...

lol I may not tell my wife what the PB2000 cost. I put it on my credit card, and when I break the news I will emphasize that I got money off due to the little dent. Though of course if she hits Google she will surely realize it's not like I got 60% off or anything. I just hope its performance...

Wife is going to KILL me. I ordered an 'outlet special' SVS PB-2000 today. $729. hehehehehe

lol The current plan, ideally, is get what I have set up and optimized (mounting the TV to the wall tomorrow, AVR comes on Thursday) and then work towards getting a new subwoofer. Then maybe works towards getting a friend for it (or identical twin if you will). We'd like to move in "a couple...

Annnd I just came back from Best Buy with a Samsung 60" plasma (PN60F5300) So much for "just one more thing" at no more than $200. jeeez

AVR order placed. :) Denon X1000 I kind of figured I'd be getting an AVR either way, it doesn't seem right to get all of those new Pioneer speakers + the F12...and possibly even upgrading the F12 right way...while sticking with that 6 year old bare bones Sony piece. I think maybe I'll be...

Thanks for joining in. The more I think about it, even though a kickass sub sounds like such a fun thing to have, I see the practicality of the new TV since I could enjoy its benefits full time. I think I'm going to have to go with a TV. And then perhaps sell the current one so that the total...

The sound is indeed much improved. I went ahead and opened the Pioneer (Andrew Jones) FS51 towers and set them up as rear/surrounds, even though their placement is far from optimal. Annnnd I'm ready to spend more money. I sold some stuff from a different interest to get the funds. I should be...

So I have another question/dilemma. I actually ordered the previous model Pioneers, the SP-FS51-LR (Pio AJ towers) and the SP-C21 (Pio AJ center), but then cancelled the order and went with the newest models (52 and 22) after deciding it was worth the added expense. I thought I cancelled the...

All speakers arrived today. I cleaned/organized in the garage, and inside, and set it all up. Everything is working as expected, garage and family room, although I only just barely had the opportunity to use either yet. (it got kinda late by the time I had it all set up, and 14 month old...

Nothing that costs any amount of money (like, >$50) is an option for awhile. As I set up what is about to arrive, maybe play with settings and placement a little bit, read some more, and enjoy it, I'll be working out what I want to do in the future. Right now I figure the next steps would...

lol Yeah, when I started this thread the things I figured people would be most likely to say, in order, were: 1. Get a better sub 2. Get a newer better AVR 3. Are you SURE you can't squeeze speakers in somewhere? I'm glad the better sub was the main response since I thought, going in, that...

So while I'm dinging you with questions...I've been looking into getting the speakers properly positioned and getting the settings on the receiver optimized...not sure how well that's going to go, or how much I can even do with the old Sony...

It's a small world. My Pio Aj speakers are all supposed to get here tomorrow, the F12 on Wednesday. Can't wait, will report back. :)

Oh sweeeeet. This is awesome. Thank you.

It has "speaker level input" and "speaker level output" connections, left and right. If the price was right I'd be happy running the two bookshelf speakers and the PSW10 with just the correct amp, or whatever, it wouldn't even have to be an FM receiver, just something I could plug into with an...

So, spinoff, what is the least expensive method for getting an FM receiver that will run 2.1? I could put the PSW10 and my two old bookshelf speakers in the garage for when I workout. Should I just start watching Craiglist? This will have to be really inexpensive after blowing all this money...

Ah, I get it. They do/will? lol I can't wait to get these suckers in. ...I've been running a KLH HTA 4100 SAT at center with a pair of Element EBS1 bookshelf speakers sitting on the floor as fronts. Yeah. I just hit place order for the BIC F12. What have I done. And to...

Is that different than/how is that different than the Pioneer SW8-MK2? That is on Amazon for $157 right now (Prime) and seems to be the one intended to go with the center/front speakers I ordered. I'm really really tempted by the BIC F12. It's $193 shipped on Amazon right now. I could hit...

I kind of saw that coming. Almost put it in my OP. I've seen a lot of very good reviews of the BIC F12, a lot of people seem to think it is the best sub in the

Straight to the point: I'm upgrading. Primary use is movies and television, but definitely music as well. This is in a living room that is large and awkwardly shaped (basically living room + entry way + dining room all together, with only a partial wall and then the kitchen and eat in dining...
