Thanks guys. I've got a set of binding posts on the way. Seems pretty straightforward making the connections. The amp I'll be using is an old JVC A-X900B https://www.petervis.com/gallery/Vintage%20Advertisements/jvc-high-fidelity-components/a-x900b.html Specs show 130 Watts RMS into 8 ohms @...

My 20 year old Paradigm PS-1000 amplifier is shot. Speaker is good and was just rebuilt. Can I use one of my old amps to power it? If so, how would I get the LFE information from the source device into the separate amp? And if the separate amp does not have an LFE output, how would I get the...

There's no green at the gold banana plugs. I hate that wire anyway. The housing is so thick and stiff. To install the banana plugs, I had to slice away a lot of the plastic housing in order to get it into the banana plug "cover". Only problem is, I bought an entire 250 foot spool of it. (what...

Hey, I searched a bit but could find no opinions. I have thick 10 or 12 guage bulk wire from Home Depot with clear housing. I installed it about 6 years ago. I can see the copper is getting green throughout the lengths (5.1 set up). Should I be concerned? Thanks!! Johnny

I've spent almost an hour surfing to find out if a DVD recorder can automatically change a channel on my satellite receiver, but can't find an answer. Here's what I want to do....set up a DVD recorder to record a show at 2:00 a.m. on channel 301. When I went to bed I was watching channel 610 and...

Chris, The cable runs underground from a utility box near the street, comes up out of the ground at the exterior wall, up the wall about a foot or so and then into my basement ceiling area. The grounding block is attached to the face of a joist. My basement is unfinished. John

I now have a need to run RG6 coax cable from my basement to my second floor bedrooms. I ran it through the heating ducts. I get terrible reception on the TV's. It seems like I get the same cable TV reception whether I connect the cable or let the TV pull OTA stations in with no antenna hook up...

I could not find these answers to a few basic questions. Background: Direct TV (with Starz package) with Samsung SIR-S60W Satellite receiver and an oval dish. This is how the package came about 11 months ago. The only outputs that put out stereo sound from the receiver are RCA...

I've got Cambridge Soundworks S-300 rear surrounds that can be adjusted to direct, bi-pole and di-pole. I'm ready to calibrate the speakers. What do I set the speakers to when I calibrate? If I normally select di-pole for 5.1 movies and calibrate to that setting, what effect would there be...

Haven't seen this discussed but I need your general ideas about the surface size to place the speaker on. Many stands have something like 6"x6". My B&W 602's are about 9.25" X 12". I have seen no stands with a platform that size. What would you say is the minimum size for my speakers and...

What I've read is there is no difference in speaker cables. Lamp chord is as good as audiophile cables. Please don't advise me on that, my mind can't be changed :-) What I would like to know if cables make a difference? The RCA-plugged cables that come with various equipment are plentiful...

I've got a B&W CC6 S2 center speaker going on a Sony 36" TV which will be here on Friday. The top of the TV is not flat. Has anyone dealt with the problem of placing the speaker on a TV like this? The speaker footprint is just under 18x11 (17.7x10.8) and weighs 14 lbs. I have the Sony stand...
