Watched How To Train Your Dragon last weekend for the 2nd or 3rd time. About a third of the way into the movie, I noticed that the colors just seemed weak and not a saturated as i remembered from having seen the film previously. I kept thinking when we got to more outdoors scenes, it would...

Guys, Forgive my ignorance, but need some help... I had been using a Xantech AC-1 to switch power on for my two amps and it recently freaked out on me, so I've replaced it with a Niles AC-3, as it offers two switched outlets (I had to split the singe outlet from the AC-1). Question is...

Watching a movie last night, I notice a small "blob" at edge of top image, LH side. I pause the movie, clean the lens with an optical cloth. still there. I pause again, switch inputs. still there. I go to Avia test screen. still there. I search the room for some unseen obstruction...

I've been playing with my Anthem AVM-20 (v.2.13) and searching around here and can't find the answer - hoping someone can jump in with a little help. Where in the setup menu can I (if I truly can) set up different sub levels for Cinema and/or Music -or- by source/device (CD vs. DVD)?? I know...

Had this player for about 8 mo. Outstanding video and audio performance with rock solid build quality - you really couldn't ask for more! Outstanding condition with clean cosmetics and stunning performance. VERY light use in dedicated home theater, no smoke and no pets. Unit sat on top shelf of...

Any rules of thumb on how big is too big when considering speaker size vs. room size? My Paradigm Studio 100's sounded great in our old house (big room - 15 x 32 x 8, seating distance 16'). But get boomy with less midrange presence in our new house (smaller room - 14 x 22 x 8, seating...

I'm podering a B&W purchase (Nautilus line) and for planning purposes, am curious about what (if any) typical dealer discounts off MSRP might be for B&W. If you've had experience buying B&W from an auth. dealer and would be willing to share % discount (or even a range), I'd be grateful - it...

Well, as the post cites, where will you go next? Studion Ref. v.3? Paradigm Signature 8? Some other brand? here's my deal... My room is dedicated to HT, with 85% HT and 15% critical 2 channel listening. I've enjoyed owning my Studio 100's (v.2) for a while now, but believe that...

Was at a dinner party last night and a neighbor asked how he might remove crayon from his RPTV's screen. I had no clue what to suggest that wouldn't risk further damaging the screen. Told him if anyone knew how, that person would be here. Anybody got firsthand experience with getting...

First, I have nothing to gain from this post - just have to share a good thing when I find it! Got XM for Father's Day and haven't looked back since. I've basically forgotten my car's CD changer. FM? What's that?! What a great format with outstanding programming and selection. I had no...

Guys, How far are your Studio 100's placed from front and side walls? I've got Studio 100's and am moving in August to a new home with a smaller space for my rig. I think I may need to get my 100's closer to the corners than they are now (less than ideal) to make space for my screen on a...

Anybody got one of these or understand clearly how it works? I've currently got a PS Audio Ultimate OUtlet, PS AUdio Juice Bar and a Niles IPC-12 POwer controller/conditioner. This is far more outlets than I need and I want to collapse to a single conditioner/switcher for my whole system. I...

!!SOLD!! Cleaning up my system and no longer need a pair of 1M XLO PRO-150 RCA interconnects. My loss is your gain. These are in excellent cosmetic and operational condition and I am the original owner. Here's more about XLO PRO: ABOUT XLO PRO: XLO/PRO is the professional products brand...

First off, I know interconnects are a very subjective thing. I've taken my fair share of flak for posting about them before. That being said, I'm wondering about the interconnects between by Anthem AVM-20 pre/pro and Parasound amps. Currently, I'm using Analysis Plus Copper Ovals and the...

If you're reading this, you probably have a an AVM-20 paired with a Parasound amp. That's the setup I've got and I'm wondering about interconnects between the two. Currently, I'm using Analysis Plus Copper Ovals and the sound is pleasing, but I'd prefer an equally smooth connection and broad...

Hi! I have an AVM-20, which has both RCA and XLR pre-outs. In my 7.1 setup, I have a 5 ch. amp that is RCA inputs only and a 2 ch. (mains) amp that has both RCA and XLR inputs. Would there be any beneift to running main L and R channels XLR and all others RCA or should I keep it consistent...

Help!! Last night, one of my Paradigm Studio ADP's seemed to malfunction. The speaker only passes signal through the tweeters, but not through the drivers. I've tested every variable I can think of (different amp channels, connects, etc.), and it appears that the speaker crossover has gone...

Not the fanciest, but effective and affordable. I have one Belikn Surge Cube, a single plug surge supressor. This would be great for application with a single AC line, such as a projector or powered sub. The Surge Cube protects up to 528 Joules, features 39k amp spike max and includes EMI/RFI...

Might not be the best place to post this, but I'll give it a shot... Am upgrading from 5.1 speakers to 7.1. Use is 80/20, HT/music. I've currently got 5 higher-end interconnects between pre/pro + amps and won't be able to afford two more of the same IC's for a while. Am I best to put higher...

Hi! I'm looking for a pair of 20's to be used as rear surrounds in a 7.1 setup (ADP's on side walls, 100's and Studio CC in front). Because of room layout, I must put the Studio 20's on stands...tall ones. I'm having trouble finding tall speaker stands (36-38") that will hold the footprint...

My friend loves my AVM-20, but cost of the Anthem is more than he'd like to spend. What might be some good options in the $1500-$2500 range? Here's a little more on the applicatioin: Amplification: Parasound. Speakers: Paradigm Reference Studio 100's, ADP's and CC. Use: 2.0, 5.0 and...

Planning to build an in-wall rack (with rails). Looking for a good/affordable source for metal frame, shelves and spacers. Anybody got on-line sources they can suggest? (I've already checked Smarthome). Thanks, -Paul

GEEZ, that was dumb! :b Made you look, though, didn't it?!? :D I meant 15Amp High Current Ultimate Outlet. Um...50A would be a bit much. (Used) in good cosmetic and working condition. Prefer to pay by PayPal.

And what is it? Thanks!

For my HT rig, I use a Niles IPC-12 power conditioner/ switcher and I love it. That said, I don't connect my amps through it (they're connected directly to the wall outlet). I am considering adding a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet for my amps to clean up the AC from the wall and provide a sense of...

Anybody had a look at one of these yet? When will they ship? Will there be a way to upload the CCF's from my 1000 or will I need to start over? Thanks, -Paul
