Funny:) That was a good read!

I also have a 797, the one with famed ticking and dropouts. I have not experienced any ticking and have had mine for about 14 months. I love it. It's driving a pair of A/D/S 4ohm towers and Definitive Technology center and surrounds. I'm love to listen loud, and the 797 hasn't failed me. The...

I have an Onkyo 797 and I bought in in January of 2002. I haven't had any clicking problems with it. What do you think will happen if the ticking shows itself after the warranty over? Do you think they will still honor it because they knew about it, or will they charge me? I'm just stuck here, I...

If you can find the Titanic soundtrack, about 50 sec into the first track, there is some very low frequency sound. The disc is an extremely good recording with crystal clear sound that will put subwoofers to shame. Also look at track 7(all) and the beginning of track 11. Good Luck!

Definitive Super Cube I or Super Cube II. High SPL, moves tons of air, reasonable price. And wow do they have a nice piano gloss, black laquer finish!

Lowell, How much did you pay for these speakers, and how big of a room are they housed in? Also, what do you have powering these, and are you using a sub? I'm curious because I'm going ot be putting them in a big room for now, but later they will be in a small environment. I want to know if...

I'm interested in buying a pair of Studio Monitors or Power Monitors. I need something on hte small side that I can transport easily. I'd like anything in good condition, preferably not too heavily used. Anyone thinking of upgrading, here's your chance? Price: anything less than $550-600. Thank you.

I'm trying to find a new set of L/R speakers that are small so that when I go to college they'll fit in my dorm room. I currently have a Procenter100 and two Procinema80's at the back and A/D/S towers up front with a Velodyne CT120 sub all being powered by an Onkyo 797. Trying to keep price in...

The Onkyo 797, 898, Integra 7.2, 8.2 have internal fans. They're cleverly hidden and make no noise. The Denon 3802, 4802, and 5803 also have.

I thought the 991 didn't have a 12V trigger input, can you please explain how you constructed a 12v input. I do not however think that any damage is being done to the 1075.

The amp would be a good idea, because as Wayne said, it would be on all the time. Has anyone else gone through this dilema? Which makes more difference? If the DVD-A was really good, even if it was on only at certain time, it would be okay if it was good, but I don't want to end up with a junk...

I'm planning on either buying a seprate amp or a DVD-A player, but I cannot decide which, and the budget won't allow both. My current receiver is an Onkyo 797 and I am running it with A/D/S tower speakers up front(4ohm) and Definitive Procenter and Procinema surrounds with a Velodyne CT-120 sub...

I'm looking into adding a seprate stereo amp and I'm considering Anthem and Rotel. Would the Anthem be a better amp than the Rotel? The Rotel has less power, but it's internal components seem equal or higher than the Anthem's. I am concerned with 4ohm capability, my fronts are 4ohm, A/D/S...

In my search for an amp, I've noticed that many companies list their products' slew rates. I believe the slew rate is listed in volts/microsecond(please correct me if I'm wrong). Does anyone know if this is at all related to anything that would affect sonic performance? I noticed that Parasounds...

I'm thinking about buying a used Anthem MCA amp, but what is the difference between the series I and series II? I've noticed that the price difference is quite large on the used market. The power ratings seem to be the same between I and II, so if anyone can point out the differences it'd be...
