s38's are awesome, i love them.. but i'd have to go with NHT SB-3 for the price. they're beautiful speakers and the sound they produce is no less.

forget that whole bit that mark just mentioned. don't go to bestbuy to audition speakers, you won't get the idea of what the speakers will sound like at home and they won't sound anywhere nearly as "spatious" since they use sound fields. in addition to that, the "higher priced" E series is a...

increase in impedance isn't a problem at all, it's decrease that causes damage.

Chris, there are amplifiers that have 7 discrete channels. www.dolby.com read up on PLIIx.

I don't have a receiver that has that option. However, the front effects channels are used to output the DSP information. Having them on leaves the front left/right channels untainted. If you don't use the DSP settings then you won't get any benefit from them. By not having speakers connected...

I'm talking about an official, non-manufacturor 7.1 channel format. Well, there has been SDDS but that's cinema only. 7.1 channel format for the home isn't discrete, and if they do come out with a 8.1 channel format then I don't believe that'll be discrete either. All that'll be required is a...

surround, then there was 5.1 channel surround, then there was 6.1 channel surround, and now there's an official 7.l channel surround. What'll be next? Look at the trend. First there was 4 channel, which was the left center right and surround. Then there was 5.1 channel, a huge jump from...

30k isn't a high budget...? Dang, I guess I'll never be consulting a ht designer ever hahah. Thanks for the recommendations guys.

I was wondering, can somebody recommend a ht designer that can pick out the best equipment suitable for a room including acoustic treatments and equalize the system? The pre/power amplifiers, projector, screen, cabinet, lighting, and seats have already been picked out. Now it's on to speakers...

The 1400 is also THX Select certified.

No, you can't. Bass guitar hits higher then subwoofers are designed to handle. If you try, you'll get an incredibly unsmooth curve. Just hook it up to your receiver, first hook it up to a pre-amp though. If you connect it directly, you'll get all the unwanted noise. Especially if you're using...

Donnie - The front effects is part of the DSP. When you select a sound field, the effects go to the front effects and surrounds. The front l/r is left predominately untainted.

If you like the R15's, then once again.. go to www.jandr.com. They go for about $100 there, but unlike the jbl's they don't have free shipping.
