    Please help with Heroes episode sequence.

    I've just finished watching the first season via the DVD set. The last episode was Chapter 23, "How to stop an exploding man". I have five episodes on my DVR that I've recorded this season. 10-1, 10-8, 10-22, 11-5, & 11-12. The 10-1 episode (Chapter 2 - Lizards) has stuff in the begining...

    Is it obviously noticible if tweeters bad?

    Feel dumb asking this question, but have always wondered about it. I use speakers in my living room & bedroom "home theater experiences" that are as old as 1974 (BIC Venturi Formula 4's), 1987 (JBL 2600's & 2800's), 1996 (JBL J centers), and present day Wharfdale's. I've had to replace...

    Help please with 30" Phillips HDTV CRT

    My step-son bought this as a display unit from Walmart about a year ago for $300. I think it originaly sold for well over $600. It came with no box, remote, manual, or cables. We found an $8 Phillips universal remote on the shelf that works the most used features. When we initially hooked it...

    Wharfdale & JBL questions

    1) Anyone have opinions on this speaker? I would either use for rear surrounds in big room or front mains in small room (both with subs). I want a medium/small speaker that looks good (not black, gray or metal/plastic). Not too expensive. Wharfdale 70th Anniversary edition of the Diamond 8.1...

    Speaker repair question.

    I have a JBL 2600 that I purchased probably in the late 80's. This is a mid-size, with a 6" woofer and a 1" titanium tweeter, a front port, and oak veneer. I've always thought it was a pretty good little speaker, although not near as good as it's bigger brother, which I also have a pair of, the...

    Notice the trend in omiting bass & treble controls for DSP modes?

    I naturally look at audio/video products whenever I am in a store. Awhile back, I noticed that alot of boomboxes have stopped including bass & treble controls in lieu of a "bass-boost" button. This basically sucks because it sounds horrible without the bass-boost (not near enough bass) and bad...

    Optical Illusion!

    Over a span of 4 decades I have never noticed any instances of optical illusions of any kind concerning speakers, until now! I recently mounted bi-poles on my bedroom rear wall. They are 12" from the ceiling and 16" from the side walls. The very first thing after installing, I noticed the one...

    Was planning on ordering a Denon 1603 ($249) and a Velodyne VX10 sub ($149) from 6th ave.com for my low-cost bedroom HT. Now I see an ad for a HK125 for $249 at Fry's today. Probably should have been there when they opened 'cause they are bad about running out of sale items fast and no...

    Is there an optical splitter?

    My DVD player and DishNetwork cable box both have only optical outputs and my reciever has only one optical input. Is there such a thing as a splitter? Or a switcher?
