I would love to support the local mom and pop stores, but since I live more than 12 miles from the nearest horse and buggie town I have to do most of shopping online. We live about 1-1.5 hrs from the nearest hifi buys, Circuit City,...

What is everyones opinion on Ascend Speakers? I have read numurous reviews on the SVS SBS-01 speakers and everyone say they are the best thing since sliced bread. I own a SVS PB10 and I know the same quality has to be in the SBS-01...

I went back to hifi buys today and talked to the salesman about the situation. Come to find out that the fronts aren't the problem, it's the center. I compared the Csi3 to the Csi5 and could not believe the difference in sound. There is...

Well after a week of testing the Polk setup, I am stumped. I can't make my mind up wether I like the sound or not. The Polk speakers are very clear and crisp, but it's missing the one thing I can't put my finger on. I think it's just...
