    Svs Pb10

    How well is the PB10 able to match smaller satellite speakers with 5-1/4" or 4-1/2" woofer? The frequency response shows in can produce usable response up to 200 Hz. Is the the PB10 "fast" enough to keep up with the drivers in smaller satellites?

    Wahoo! SVS addressing the $400 market...PB10-ISD coming

    Paradigm makes external crossovers for those who needed it. http://www.paradigm.com/Website/Site...Unit_Specs.htm I've been contemplating putting together a smaller HT system. The PB10 appears to fit the bill nicely.

    iTunes and playing CD's

    There are products on the market that do what you describe. The Escient Fireball comes to mind. There are also ways to play your MP3 collection on your PC from your home stereo.

    Parametric Eq w/ subwoofers

    I can think of one disadvantage to using an EQ to tame standing waves. The notch filter cuts the level at all places not just at the spot with the peak. So if you cut a 20 dB peak in one spot of the room in another spot you may be creating a 20 dB dip. That may or may not be a problem depending...

    Subwoofer cable...extension?

    Many users on this forum have used coax cable with great sucess. RG-59 should be sufficient though some prefer RG-6. You also need a pair of F female to RCA male adapters.

    Using switched outlet on receiver for trigger

    If your amp has a trigger, buy a universal DC power supply from Rat Shack. Plug the brick into your receiver and the mini jack into the trigger. If the amp does not have a trigger. I think Rat Shack sells power strips when current is drawn from one outlet switches on the other outlets.

    "Home Theater In A Box" recommendations

    Well you were looking into HT in a box solutions and you didn't want to spend a lot of money. I was suggesting a high quality set of 5.1 PC speakers as an alternative. You can find the Klipsch GMX D-5.1 system for less than $299. It includes decent speakers, a sub, amps and Dolby Digital and...

    Repetitively changing volume in order to hear actor/actress

    Most DVD players have a dynamic range compression feature. However, I'm not sure it affects the analog outputs that I assume you are using. Try it out.

    Parametric Eq w/ subwoofers

    I am all for using EQ as a last resort. I managed to remove as 20 dB peak from my room just by moving my sub a few feet.

    Pre/pros with individually selectable crossovers

    The firmware 2.1 for the AVM-20 introduced this feature.

    Wow, the room DOES make a difference!

    I put my sub at the lowest dip and that cured the nastiest peak in my room. I did a search for "house curve" and nothing turned up. Can someone explain what that means.

    A Subwoofer Under $500 That's Not Boomy?

    I agree with the above posters. Your problem most likely room acoustics. I recently "fixed" my booming sub just by moving it a few feet. My room is actually smaller than yours about 12' x 11.5' and I've got a 15" sub! The trick is to find the right spot but it can be done. This is how I did it...

    Wow, the room DOES make a difference!

    Since moving to my first home I had never been satisfied with the way my subwoofer sounded in my living room. This past weekend I did a frequency plot of my listening area. I didn't realize it was so bad. The difference between the highest and lowest peaks was greater than 20 dB! My preamp has...

    Powered Speakers?

    All you need is a preamp or a receiver with preamp outs. Balanced outputs are prefered but RCAs will work very well too.

    Powered Speakers?

    Active speakers are still around but mostly in the pro audio. They just never caught on with consumers. I've heard others have used active studio monitors in their hometheaters with fantastic results.

    Paradigm Servo-15 to SVS 20-39 PC+

    Maybe dual CS-Ultras would be a more substantial upgrade path. I'll stick with Servo-15 for now.

    Paradigm Servo-15 to SVS 20-39 PC+

    I currently own a Paradigm Servo-15 and I have been happy with it. Would moving to an SVS 20-39 PC+ be an upgrade or a cross grade?

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    It's easier to understand if you do not think of the crossovers as crossovers. The sub setting is a low pass filter. The main setting is a high pass filter. They are completely independent of each other. Each channel receives a full range signal before applying filtering. Hope that helps!

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Wow, I guess it's lucky I was just to lazy to upgrade my AVM 20. Actually, I've had the upgrade kit on order for almost a couple months. Maybe Anthem is delaying upgrade kits until they've worked out the bugs.

    Amplifed Speakers?

    I have Paradigm Actives for left, center and right. I really love them. The cabling can be a real issue though. I just moved to a new home and had to replace my interconnects since they were too short and they are more expensive than speaker wire. I am running balanced XLRs from my AVM 20 to my...
