could one of the "engineer" types out there help me to understand what the difference is b/w an amp with a current and a voltage source on the output stage, what it actually means and how it effects speaker performance? I am referring to the Sunfire Stereo Signature amp. It is being used to push...

Is anyone having a problem with the pioneer dvr-810h dvd recorder paired with the zenith hd-520 sat receiver? I can not get the tivo to control my receiver with respect to changing the channels. Pioneer said the units are not compatable!

OK, Brian, I will be more specific. The Sunfire amp puts out about 2,00 watts into 2 ohms. 10^ft is bit large. I am thinking more on the line of 2 - 2 1/2^ft ported.

It will be used for both movies and music. Cost is no object, and the amp is a Sunfire Signature Stereo which is quite powerful. I would prefer a ported box.

Here is a question that should bring about a wide variety of opinions. If you were going to build a sub for your home which driver would you choose and what type of box would you put it in,i.e., ported or sealed? Thank you for any feedback you have to offer.

I have been trying to locate a supply of A/C cables for my CD player, pre-amp and amps for a while now. I have seen the mega $$$$ cables on some other sites but they are beyond my means. I do want to upgrade them, why else would they be made removable? I would not use the RCA cable that came...

Hey Dan, exactly what is in this new software?

My brand new TGIII is DEAD!I tried to download the software upgrade from the Sunfire web site and it corrupted my unit. Now it does not even turn on. Sunfire said they will fix it but I was curious if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them. Would you be satisfied with a brand...

Wiring the circuit on the speaker level side DOES put very high loads on the amp! Iam looking for a circuit that does this on the pre-amp side.btw check this I found: US Patent No. 5,386,473 Passive Surround Sound Circuit Issued: January 31, 1995 Inventor: Robert W. Harrison, Cortland, NY

anyone out there long enough to know what the "hafler circuit" is or where one can be located?

Why has no one mentioned the NAD S-170? I use it and so far I have found it to be a pretty good unit.

There is a switch box available that has 4 a/v inputs, L-R audio,composite video and s-video with the same options on the output. This should solve your problem for less than $50.00

To paraphrase - put a pretty,expensive dress on a 2 bit___, and she is still a ___

after reading the response from the prior thread I ask myself - why would I buy a $1,200.00 dvd player (denon 3800) when I can get a $500.00 (denon 1600) that does not have "the bug"

Thanks, I guess I am going to sell my 3800
