If so, where do I start? I have been hearing a little of them on XM radio and am curious. Happy holidays to everyone. Thanks-Jeff

I have a few questions about Avia and speaker phase. I rearranged some things in my HT room and re-did all of my calibrations. I don't usually go through the speaker phase test, but decided to do it this time (the one with 1.5 seconds of localized sound followed by 0.5 seconds of diffuse). When...

I have decided to go for XM and have a couple of questions. First, I have decided to get the SKYFI2 and would like to hook it up to my home receiver. What is the highest quality hookup? I was thinking maybe using the headphone out with a headphone jack to RCA adapter. Second, I was reading...

I have a couple of questions for anyone who has one of these receiveres (Yamaha 1400 or 2400) and is using a 7.1 setup. How many separate crossover points can you select? For instance, in a 7.1 system do they offer a separate crossover frequency selection for the rear back surrounds (i.e., I...

I am curious about upgrading my center channel to get an all maggie setup. Currently using Mg-1b's up front and MMGs in the rear with an Energy AC-300 center. The new maggie cc3 sounds interesting, but there is nowhere near me that has one in stock. Has anyone actually listened to this speaker...

I liked the release of II so much that I was really anticipating the release of V. However, I couldn't find any information on it's release, anywhere. So I was quite surprised when I went into Best Buy yesterday and found it. The mix seems quite different from II. In II, the horns were in the...

Ok, here is my sort of dilemma. I have been waiting to purchase a universal player (DVD-A/SACD) until the Denon 2900 comes out. However, a local BM has the DV45a on sale this weekend. I want the player mainly for music, so the picture quality isn't as important to me. As I see it, the main...

I just got the DVD-A of Blue Man Group and I really like it. There is one weird thing though. In the interviews the voices are coming out of my subwoofer and it is hard to understand. Also, in the setup screen area the center channel comes through the subwoofer. Is this a problem with the disk...

I know a number of people have recommended regular cleaning of connectors. I have heard Caig pro gold mentioned as a good one. However, I have a couple of questions. If I go to Parts Express there are a number of different formulations that appear to do very similar things, Deoxit, Pro gold and...

Does anyone know if the Home Theater Master MX500 will control a Samsung SIR T150 without having to learn the commands? I have an opportunity to buy an SIR T150 cheap, but there is no remote. Samsung wants $110.00 for the replacement remote and for that price I figured I would see if a universal...

I am using the component output on the X-box to run to my high-def TV and playing in 480p. I have another television in the house that has component inputs, but is not high-def. Does anyone know if you can use the high-def pack to output a 480i signal from the X-box or does it just output 480p...

Just got my new Toshiba 4700 to try out DVD audio. The first disk I got was Pat Metheny Imaginary Day. I really like the disk and multichannel audio, but I am not sure if there is a problem with the player or the disk. At the very beginning of the first song, there is a drum whack and I get a...

Well, it looks like I am going to be getting an HDTV. I would like to upgrade to a progressive DVD player. If I am going to upgrade now, I would like to get one that also does DVD audio, but only if it has bass management for DVD audio. So, are there any DVD audio players that do bass...

Hope you folks can help since I am new to big screens. I am considering buying one of these sets and would appreciate any comments/suggestions you folks might have. I also have some specific questions. I am currently leaning towards the Toshiba, so the following questions apply especially to the...
