I'd like to get my itunes from my PC or even from my ipod for that matter played on my system located in another room on another floor. I have wireless networking setup in the house. Looking for opinions on what is the best way to stream from my PC as that would seem to be the most...

Been away for a while, what is currently the popular drivers in 12" size? Box will be made to the speakers parameters, budget is about $250sh for the driver. Soundsplinter, TC Sounds, Adire Audio, Dayton? Additionally, who's a good vendor to purchase from?

This may be a strange question but I can't seem to find any answers. I need to have a DVD continuously repeat when it reaches it's end. I've purchased two DVD players; Panasonic and Toshiba and neither can do this. One can repeat any A-B section but then it displays that it is in this mode...

Been a LOONNGGG time since I've been here. Anyway, my Mackie M1400 amp has taken a dump so I need a new amp. It's gonna power two subs so I need it to be high power in stereo, 4ohm . Say like 500W-800W plus. I was thinkin another Mackie M1400 as the minimum but wonder what other popular...

Haven't been around in a while so I'm out of touch with the pulse of the market and can use some help to narrow down my choices. Need a set of front bookshelf type mains and center. I remember PSB as being good and the little M40 12" Sony sub as being the hot ticket a few years back. Anything...

Haven't been around for a while so I'm out of touch with the pulse of the market. Need it for a Plasma and need video switching as the primary function. What does everyone suggest, I assume HDTV gets hooked straight into the Plasma but component and SVHS will likely be needed too. Any...

Hi all knowing forum members! Looking for some suggestions on a decent Karaoke setup. Likely something that has separate speakers. Although if there are some good sounding all in one systems I'm open. Budget is about $400 all the way up to $1000. Any suggestions are appreciated...

Also remember sensitivity of a driver varies with mnaufacturer ratiings along with the final sub configuration. So even though it says the PE sub is 1-2db more sensitive, your final values may prove to be much larger.

Since you didn't callibrate them individually the Parts express sub could have been providing 99% of your reference level. Think about it this way in this "quick" generalization, if the PE sub was 3-6bb hotter than the SVS it would have been doing almost all the work on its own. Just 3db is...

Glad you like it!!!! How would you say it compares to the SVS setup and did you ever try the SVS's in that location before the install?

This sounds simple and similar to the dentist approach. Go to Home Depot or Ace hardware or whereever dremel bits are sold. Get a high speed cutter or carbide cutter. Just gouge off the head of the bolt and push it into the box, remove the driver and whats remaining of the bolt. Take a look at...

IMHO this is something each person has to try on thier own. I don't think there can be a blanket statement that adding a seperate amp is going to always inprove your sound quality. I tried a Parasound 1500A to my Sony 777es and couldn't tell any appreciable difference. My Speakers are Paradigm...

MikeHalder Yes you should reduce the gain in this situation. How high is the Sony's volume when you are reading 75db on your SPL meter? In most cases you should be at about 11 to 12 oclock on the sony master control. Otherwise you may really have to boost your Sub out channel to level match to...

Robert, You will be a convert to DIY after this! ;) I haven't tried IB myself but hear they work great. If you don't like the sound just enclose them from behind and add a port. Not sure what drivers you plan to use but hopefully Tom can tell you if the SVS drivers work for IB? As far as...
