Head to Lowe's and pick up some 40' white garden extension cords. Use the green and white wires for your positive speaker connection and the black wire for your negative connection. The power cables are manufactured by Woods and is sold under the Utilitech brand - and you can usually see it on...

Lance, The cabinet in the 12 "HO" seems like a mix of plastic and MDF - with an outer rubber coating. I removed the plate amp from the back of the subwoofer just to check out the construction. The cabinet does have a single brace horizontally mounted inside the cabinet and made from MDF...

I purchased the "HO" sub and then ended up selling it locally. I was one who paid just a bit over $200 for it, but the shipping to RMA it as a return would have killed me (3,000 miles)!. I didn't like the sub at all. It was very hard to integrate so I could use it for music listening. It just...

Phil, I had a few on Craigslist. If the 509 doesn't work out, give me a shout. I have a minty H/K AVR-310 with remote and manual. My price range is more towards your "shipped" price, but the receiver is most excellent. I'm local - Northern Va.

By posting your question towards BB or CC, I'm assuming that you have some kind of budget in mind as to what you'd like to spend. If that's the case, I wouldn't overlook the used market for gear. If you don't require the latest video switching capabilities to be built into your receiver, opt for...

That's quite a good price - actually, I mean it's a GREAT price. I was toying around with their shipping rates. If you purchase one speaker individually, the shipping came up for me at $18.##. When I added a 2nd one, the shipping went to $56.##. When I added a 3rd speaker, the shipping jumped to...

Some husband is going to be mad, when he gets home and realizes his wife sold off his sub at a garage sale. :) ;)

Horn and ribbons, when it comes to tweeters are quite different. I'm sure the ribbons in the HTD speakers wouldn't be all that bad if someone were to spend a bit of time tweaking the crossover. The HSU speakers have received some mixed reviews. However, with almost any Internet speaker vendor...

To my ears, the upper frequencies were too recessed with these speakers. I don't desire a bright speaker, but I do appreciate detail so that I can hear the music clearly. With the HTD Level 3s, the sound was a bit too muffled for my ears. Instead, I opted for the Infinity Beta 20s and C360...

Not bad ... considering the year will be over in a few hours. :D :D :D Enjoy! ;)

That would have put him here just after Woodstock ... and, right before Al Gore invented the Internet. :D :D :D ;)

Chris, Are the C5s maple or black?

I have the $29 special pair of Creative Labs ear buds. That was retail price, too. You can find them for less on the Web. The sound is quite good, as the reviews suggest, with my Sonos player. Enjoy!

Shameless plug. Dorian is one of the best sellers/traders out there. :)

No, you're not the only one. Right now, the sound for my DVDs is being played through my 2 speakers built into my LCD TV. However, I have (2) 2.1 audio systems running wireless Squeezebox 3 players to calm my music addiction. ;)
