Yes, the positive and negative speaker wire are connected ONE RCA, not two. Wierd isn't it?

I recently moved into a new/used home and the in wall multi room speaker configuration jacks are unlike anything I've seen before. What it looks like the previous owner/installer did was, inside the wall from the speaker wires to the wall jack, run a positive wire to the signal side of the rca...

I've heard the PDR 10 and the Paradigm model above it. In one word I'd describe them as "slow". I demo'd a techno cd on it and it was way behind. You may not listen to techno, but this is a good test. For the money, Maple or American, you could find something better.

Okay, here's something you can try that most likely won't kill you or anyone around you. Anywhere that you split cable tv lines, you open yourself up to some kind of hum. Why? I don't know, but, I do know one thing... Ground it! It's really quite simple. On a splitter there's usually a grounding...

Are you being sarcastic??? Ummmm, I think the gentleman is talking about bookshelf speakers, not bookshelves...

I agree with Mike D. I had the same problem with the hz/khz thing and was going crazy wondering why things wouldn't change when I conducted freq. readings. This is one of the first things you should check before you go any further. Also, you really need to be in front of the BFD when reading the...

I have a 71hz standing wave in my room that is immune to any changes I make on my BFD. It's really bothersome. Any suggestions to get rid of it?

I just purhcased a 1500A Sherbourn amp rated at 5x200w. My previous system was running an Odyssey Stratos for the fronts and a Parasound 855a for the rears. I have the Sherbourn hooked up to my Outlaw 950 now, but in order to reach the same db level as my previous setup with the...

Birdseye Maple always looks awesome and you've certainly proved that to the utmost. What did you use to cut your tweeter hole as well as your woofer hole? Beautiful job, Darren. I strive to reach your level of craftsmanship!

You own the house? Go Infinite baffle and prepare to be amazed.

I've never been one to cut through structural entities, but if you're friend is sure it's okay... Just make sure the manifold rests on the rafters at all times and not the sheetrock. It only takes a second for it to go crashing through your ceiling! Good luck.

Timbre matching fronts are pretty important, however you don't need to stick just to a Paradigm sub. There are plenty of subs out there that will outperform the 2200 for cheaper. I don't have one, but the enthusiasm of all the SVS owners (seems to be milliions) seems to point out that this is a...
