I'm looking for a pair of these dipole/bipole surround speakers in black. Thanks!

My wife and I are planning a leisurely long weekend trip to Atlanta next week. Are there any interesting venues an HT enthusiast should check out in that city -- you know, nice HT stores, places to buy DVDs (especially cheap used ones!), etc.? A decade ago, when I lived in Anniston, Ala., I...

OK, I'm finally going to replace my fried Panasonic DVD-R/DVD-RAM recorder, which was fried by lightning back on March 31. Where's the best deal from a reputable merchant? So far, Profeel has it for $618. Can I do better short of an open-box buy at Sears? (Haven't actually seen any of those, but...

My receiver got fried back on March 31, along with my DVD recorder, big-screen TV, a couple of computers, all my satellite TV gear and a bunch of other stuff (even the telephones). It was a lightning strike/power surge that took my stuff out. Anyway, some things have been repaired and some...

Here in Mobile, March 31 was known as Black Sunday in my house. At about 11 a.m., a fast-developing line of thunderstorms moved through the area. Quicker than I could move to unplug components, lightning struck very close. I don't know what exactly was struck, but the sound was very loud. I was...

Can a sonosub be made that is 16 or 17 inches in diameter? Does the tubing come in that diamter? The reason I ask is that I would like a sub to fit in the right front corner of my room, and I only have 17.5 inches of clearance between the right wall and the front speaker stage. I've looked...

Subject says it all. I need a single speaker to finish out my 8.1 system connected to my Yamaha RX-V3000 receiver. I have a CS400 center, RT55 mains, RT35i side surrounds and as of today a pair of RT15i speakers for the Yamaha front effects channels. My receiver will support a center rear, and I...

I've given up waiting on Etronics to ship me the Yamaha RX-V3000 I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I'm canceling that order and am now looking for a nother good deal on the 3000. I don't want the new 3200. I prefer to find a good closeout deal on the 3000 from a reputable source. Anybody know...

I posted much of the info below over on the AVS forum, but I thought I would dupe some of it here because others might be find the links to the Yamaha PDF files useful. In a nutshell, I'm planning to upgrade my middle-of-the-line Sony receiver to something better in about a month. I want...

I didn't have a great deal of room to get into the issue, but in my daily newspaper television column Saturday, I delved just a bit into the issues of OAR and widescreen programming on TV. In case anyone is interested, the short column can be found at...

Not too much has changed in our screening room since I posted pictures a couple of months ago, although I did add a lighted exit sign. Meanwhile, I set up a more proper page to display the pictures and tell a little about our theater. In the two or three months since the room has been fully...

Hey, guys! I just put up a photo album of my new basement theater. It's an iTools site at http://homepage.mac.com/mikebrantley/PhotoAlbum.html -- free Web space courtesy of Apple Computer. A basement is an unusual thing in south Alabama because of the high water table, so my wife and I knew...
