To me the number of HDMI inputs isn't a big deal either. My projector has a single HDMI input and I have 4 HDMI components connected to it. I didn't want to upgrade to a new receiver with HDMI now so I bought a 4 input / 2 output HDMI matrix switch from Monoprice for $100. Not only did it...

1. CD sampling is 44 kHz and digital audio tape sampling is a little better at 48 kHz. 96 kHz is twice the sampling rate. I think that is standard for super audio CD and other high resolution audio formats. I have no idea what you would use 192 kHz sampling for unless you were producing your...

Dual ports is nice visually but it is there for a reason. The more port area, the less chuffing. When designing a sub, you have to keep the air speed in the the at or under a specific speed or you will hear a chuff noise when you push the sub to its limits. The only problem is that if you...

Ignore what you have previously heard both in person and from people about downfiring ports. These subs are completely different. If you are trying to decide between a 10" and 12" sub, go with a 12". Yes it might seem like overkill but you don't want your sub stressed. When a 10" sub is...

Other internet direct subs that we suggest here: Elemental Designs - Ben has taken that company from a dorm room to small business of the year in his state. Epik Suwoofers - Chad is a member here and Scott Atwell (RE Audio fame) provides drivers Lava Subwoofers - New company making waves...

That's like comparing a Chevy Impala to a Chevy Corvette. Since you are new here's the history. Ron (the S in SVS) met Tom (the V in SVS) in the old DIY section here when Ron was building his first sub. A friendship and then a business grew out of it. Other forum members have gone on to...

According to the Polk specs - http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/psw/specs.php , the -3 db point of this sub is 38 hz. For a lower price the Dayton 12" sub - http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-635 , will reach 1/2 octave lower.

Ian, You have done more research than 99% of the people who come here asking for speaker recommendations. All we can tell them is to audition as many different models and buy what sounds good to you in your price range. Now once you get them in, you will still have to set them up and...

First let me say that you have done the correct thing in auditioning speakers and finding the ones that you like. Just because the drivers used happen to be of a similar size doesn't make two different speakers sound similar. A 1" Goldwood tweeter will not sound like a 1" Dynaudio tweeter...

Take price out of the equation when looking at cables. That's why we recommend cables from Monoprice all of the time. I have a 35 ft. HDMI cable that would sell at Best Buy for upwards of $200 if they carried that length. I paid about $15 for it. It has worked perfectly for 2 years. Belkin...

Ignore the wattage ratings. They are the least important specs. Does the receiver have enough and the correct types of inputs for your current and future needs? Does it process the sound formats that you have? Does it have an auto calibration system built in?
