    I have an Elite 45A DVD player and recently upgraded to the X1 projector. This is my first opportunity to use the 45A in progressive mode. I viewed several movies before deciding to do some fine tuning with VE. I popped the disc into the player and nothing happens. I check and recheck my...

    Elite 45A Quirk?

    I was just wondering if other owners have had this happen to them or is it just an isolated incident? This is my basic setup. I use the players analog outputs for DVDA and SACD exclusively. So yesterday I put in a DVDA and get no signal going to my sub - it doesn't even turn on. I go into the...

    Fleetwood Mac "Say You Will" DVD-A

    So, anyone had a chance to listen to this new DVD-A? I picked it up at BB for 14.99 after work. I'm not sure what to think of it yet. I listened to the hi-res surround mix just once. The songs are hit and miss with me. Lindsey seems to be experimenting a lot. Stevie in good on some songs and...

    IB pics

    Here is a link to a couple pics of my latest sub project.link This was a great project that only took a few days. It was quite a bit easier that my Shiva and all the wood work that entailed. I'm very pleased with its performance and would recommend that anyone with an unused space give...

    4 surrounds in a 5.1 setup

    This is what I am considering. I am using a receiver as a pre/pro with a 5 channel amp. I recently upgraded my mains and now have a pair of bookshelves sitting idle. My surrounds (bipoles) are currently located in the back corners. What if I move the bipoles to the side walls and add the...

    Where's my Stryke CD?

    I ordered a test CD from Stryke Audio on June 26th and still have not received it. Is it normal for them to take this long? Are they backordered? I also left a message on their answering machine but have not received a response. Any comments?

    Help! 85L Adire Shiva problems

    I just completed this sub this past weekend. Here is my problem and concern. The sub sounds good on music it provides a solid low end with decent definition. It is quite a bit different than my previous sub an Energy EPS 150 12" 150watt design. Movies is my concern. The sub seems to go a little...

    Shiva connectors?

    I did a search on connecting a Shiva driver but did not find the answer to this question. What are the actual connecting terminals used on the Shiva? It's too hard to tell on Adires' web site. The PE plate amp that I will be using has a slip on connector (if that makes any sense.) Does the Shiva...

    Energy C-7's Impressions

    For those of you looking for a high value great sounding floorstanding speaker consider the C-7. Build quality is good but not outstanding. The finish is in black oak vinyl instead of the high gloss that Energy sometimes uses:frowning:. These towers are also not biwirable so if that is important...

    B&K vs. Rotel?

    I am trying to decide on a 5 channel amp in the $1000 bracket. I'm currently auditioning a discontinued B&K AV 5000. I love the tonal characteristics, smoothness yet still quite detailed sound. A local dealer has a Rotel 1095 he said I could audition. I'm interested in the 1075 which is...
