I've attached a rough drawing of how I am planning to setup 5.1 speakers in my living room/home theatre system. The way its currently drawn is probably the most convinient for everday use (thought maybe not the best for home theatre?) Any recommendations etc? The main issue i will be having...

Also I am planning bipole/dipole speakers for the rear surrounds in a 5.1 setup....

I'm about to setup my surround speakers and am curious to the same question...my room is fairly small and the seating is right up back against the rear wall, one side wall is right next to the seats and the other about 5 feet away from the seats......i read the main problem is having surrounds...

Ok just planning my future home theatre room/living room for when i move into my new place :) The living room i guess would be on the smaller side here are the measurements: 14.44 feet long by 11.82 feet wide Total squared feet approx = 171 feet squared Would this be considered...

Basically I just want to see how low the bass gets in certain mp3's :) not sure if cooledit will be accurate enough or show me exactly what frequency notes are hitting? I know some people do this with DVD movies.....

Is there a program that allows me to measuring frequency response of mp3 songs? Similar to the waterfall graphs people get in bass heavy scenes in movies? :)

I think I might give a step-down transformer a go as they aren't too expensive... Here are some specs from the receiver... Power requirements: AC 120V, 60hz Power consumptions: 300W, 420 VA Not sure what wattage transformer i need?

Would a step-down convertor add any sort of noise both electrical to the receiver and sound wise? ...

Importing a receiver from America is nearly 50% cheaper :) Do many receivers have a switch to change the voltage from 110v to 240v on them?

I have since found out from a Pioneer receiver I was about to order needed a step-down transformer as American power is 110v and Australian is 240v....But I have been told some receivers have a switch from 110v to 240v and then i...

Anyone know how much internal volume a PB1-ISD has and also the 25-31PCI?

This is what I am considering also :) I'm after the lowest bass extension possible....I'm thinking maybe the Dharman can do it just abit better down around the 20hz mark...although both great subs (thats why I can't decide)...but then again if its not really an audible difference I am leaning...

Didn't know the HK 325 was that popular :) starting to change my mind now..... :)
