    unpowered subwoofer.

    No problem, it just seemed to me that your mind was set on an unsuitable product no matter what. Yes that subwoofer would work, however I know nothing about the quality of that brand or specific product. But a powered subwoofer is exactly what you need for that receiver.

    unpowered subwoofer.

    I'm sure those things can be made to output sound from an older receiver (although I'd check the impedance requirements of the receiver before plugging them in). However, a home theater receiver playing back a digital 5.1 soundtrack from a DVD or Blu-Ray source is entirely different. An...

    unpowered subwoofer.

    It may have a 12" woofer but it's still a two-way speaker, NOT a subwoofer. It's not intended for home theater use, and it's extremely unlikely you could make it work in a home theater setup at all. You need to look into powered subwoofers that will work with the Yamaha receiver you linked to.

    unpowered subwoofer.

    That's a passive (unpowered) monitor speaker, not a subwoofer. It's not designed to output low frequency sound such as is found on DVD and Blu-Ray soundtracks. I don't know what kind of inputs the speaker has, but it will not work correctly as a subwoofer with the Yamaha receiver, if at all.

    BEST WAY TO STREAM WIRESLESS MUSIC TO AN OLDER RECEIVER?

    I use this: http://www.audiopro.com/node/136 I have no experience with the Apple products Steve mentioned, but they certainly have more features than this product and may be more appealing to you if you use iTunes. However, if you're looking for something very simple, then this is it - you...

    Free easy Web development tool?

    Do you really need to work with HTML only? Most hosting companies' plans are quite affordable even with SQL database and PHP support included. With those features supported, you could use a simple and easy-to-learn publishing platform such as WordPress, Joomla!, or Drupal (all free). Each of...

    free newsletter distribution service, anybody use lulu.com or similar?

    How about using (possible the free edition, unless you have many members) of Google Apps? Their Docs service would probably fulfill most of your needs: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html

    Need New Smoke Detectors!

    This might be a good opportunity to look into a whole-house security system. The smoke detectors in my house are part of the security system which means you get a text message or a pre-recorded voice call on your mobile phone (in my case, a maximum of six phone numbers) in case an alarm goes...

    HTF BD REVIEW: Donnie Darko - Theatrical & Director's Cut

    No review is visible, I'm using Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7. I see only basic disc specs in bold typeface, and in the audio section below 'English DTS 5.1 HD Master Audio' I see more specs regarding the French audio and subtitles in a huge font size and that's where it ends for me...
