Don't have a wife.But I PO the neighbors 10 minutes after hooking sub up.And I was calibrating it when the knock on the door happened.:D

Like Chu said.Does the sub still hum when there are no inputs connected?If no,try a better sub cable.If yes,you will have to try another outlet.Also try taking sub to another room and plug into outlet(no inputs).If hum is still there,it must be an internal problem with sub.

For subs under 2000,there is a wide range.What have you auditioned so far?What is the max size enclosure your looking for?

I do agree with Alex on waiting on the sub.You can audition subs later.I do believe 430.00 is high for the PDR 12.For another 150 you can get a SVS 25-31 pci.

I still believe a fan will generate noise.This could come back through the receiver and cause noise problems.I may be wrong but have you ever read in a receiver manual where it tells you to plug a fan in it?This is just my thoughts on the subject.You should be able to find another outlet to plug...

Mike,The setup I listed should be around 1800.00.When you go to the dealer you should ba able to get 10 to 15% off.I contacted my dealer before they closed today and the price was 1790.00 and said if I bought the whole list they could give me 10 to 15% off.My dealer also may have priced me there...

I would go B&W also.I would also look into if the speakers you buy now can be moved to HT for later.Makng sure there matching centers, rears, etc.That way if you decide on a HT system down the road,you can go from what you already have.Just a thought.:D

Mike,forgot to mention.You can cut your cost by going with diff. rears.The ADP 370's are very pricey.And as far as sub you can go with the PDR 12 for now.Which should cut cost even more.Try this setup CC 370 Monitor 7'S Mini's for rears PDR 12 Sub I've had that setup for a year until 6...

I would also get the CC-370 for timbre matching across the front.The rears will be a toss up until you can get them up and running.I started out with the ADP's,but learned very fast they were not going to work in my room.I took them back and got mini's for rears.If you listen to any type of...

Dan,making the move to a SVS sub will make your HT exper. more exciting than ever before.Yes,it does have a low WAF.Do you have a nice corner you can "hide" it in?LOL Or you can try one of there box subs which are also getting good reviews.

Plugging a fan into a receiver outlet is a bad idea.

Does your receiver allow you to adjust inputs while using the disc?Or does your receiver go into internal test tones when making changes?I think your on the right track you just need to know what test tones you are adjusting.My Denon will let me adjust the inputs using the disc.But my Marantz...

What is your budget?With all the gear you listed I would chose something like a Monster Cable Power Bar 1100.Has enough outlets for all the gear you listed.Has surge and clean power.I think they retail for around 200.00 but probably could be found on ebay new for around 150 to 175.00.I...

There is a Toshibs dvd player in your 200.00 or below price range that is progressive scan.It does not play SACD but it does play dvd audio.Nice unit for under 200.00 and has gotten many great reviews.Toshiba SD 4800 is the model number if you want to check up on it.BTW, if your looking at SACD...
