    Allison speakers

    I have a pair of Allison 7 that are around 23 years old. The woofer surrounds finally rotted out and I replaced them with a pair of woofers from Parts Express. They sound really good.

    SVS PB-12 vs Hsu VTF-3 MK2

    With subs as good as the HSU and SVS, set up is the most important thing getting them to sound good with music. If you run your subs +5dB 'hot', it may not sound good with music.

    7 Triad in-room platinum models. 3 Stacked Genlec large subs. Meridian Surround processor. Mark Levinson amps Sony Front projector Stewart Screen Room design/implementation: Dennis Erskine(?sp) I'd probably stop at 2 of those refrigerators.

    THX speakers for music some thoughts

    The dispersion is limited vertically, not horizontally, so if the height of the speakers is the same as ear-height, it shoudn't be a problem. I agree with the OP that people prefer a uptilt of the mid-bass and treble and high-end speaker companies are more than happy to provide it.

    IT's Back: HSU Pre-Order Savings! Up to $250!

    Subwoofers are a religion and those who make cartoons making fun of them will be beheaded.

    *** Official ONG BAK: THE THAI WARRIOR Discussion Thread

    I've been waiting to see this movie for a while. Looking forward to it. I particularly like the fact that some of the fights are short(for example, in the trailer where he knocks out the other guy with one kick ) just like real martial art fights.

    SVS PB12-Plus2 vs. SVS PC Ultra

    The main thing is: How big is the room you are going to put it in?

    How to bottom a SV Sub.

    I had to buy a Pronto remote just so my father wouldn't screw up my video settings on the projector. He still manages to do occasionally.

    Best ninja movies?

    I loved Enter the Ninja (Franco Nero). I remember that there was a lot of comedy along with over-the-top violence in it.

    Need audiophile help! (without audiophile budget!)

    Make sure you get SACD and DVD-A capable player. If I were you, I would also get a 480p or even an up converting player because when you get another display, you will won't have to get another DVD player. If you are about 3-5 years from getting a new display, then a 480i player makes more sense.

    SVS vs Klipsch

    You are free to do what you want but I don't think there was any pressure from sponsors.

    Anyone using M&K with SVS?

    They would probably blend really well. I roll off my mains, centers, and surrounds at 80Hz and they sound seamless.

    OK- It's Been 4 Weeks- PSB Subsonic 6i vs SVS 25-31 PC Plus

    PSB makes great speakers. I remember the Subsonic 3 and 3i performed much better than other commercial subs at the same price or just a bit higher.

    Studio's 100 driven by an Elite 53TX?

    I would suspect that there would be a significant improvement if you used a separate amplifier. The Studio 100 are hard to drive becuase their impedence drops at certain frequencies and receivers have difficulties driving low impedence speakers. You could always try them with the Elite and...

    Subwoofer EQ test cds

    Wayne, I have a peak at about 40 Hz. I did the eq yesterday using a CD that I burned with the correction factor for the RS meter. I was able to get to within about +/- 2 dB from 16-80 Hz using the 5 band parametric EQ. What I didn't realize is that I had a +6 to +8 dB peak at around 16 Hz which...

    Subwoofer EQ test cds

    Yes, I know that. I made a test tone CD with the compensation. I don't get the point of testing it with your receiver to see if there is internal consistancy.

    Subwoofer EQ test cds

    I think you went to too much trouble. The test CD is to set EQ levels at different frequencies in a relative(not absolute) fashion(that is relative to each other and doesn't really matter what you receiver volume level is). Once that is set, then you can calibrate the subwoofer(or LFE) channel...

    Subwoofer EQ test cds

    Well I have a parametric EQ so what I will do is first equalize the subs(I have 3) to be within 6dB(+/-3dB) using the RS adjusted tones. Then I will calibrate the sub channel using the old Video Essentials and see what happens.

    Subwoofer EQ test cds

    I did 1000Hz at -20, 10HZ at 0, and so on.

    Subwoofer EQ test cds

    How would you compensate? Do you set the tones above the really low bass at a lower level? Or, do you set the really low bass at lower levels on the test tone disc?

    Carver AL-III Plus Speakers - What do you think?

    Buy them as fast as possible. They are excellent speakers.

    So ... my cat urinated all over my reciever ....

    [BAD JOKE REMOVED BY MODERATOR. NO MORE, PLEASE.] Denon makes good receivers. See if you can get the latest model equivalant from them.

    THX speakers

    THX speakers are a way to set and forget. You are pretty much guaranteed that the fronts will match the center and rear speakers. Also they will be timbre matched so that despite being in different locations(free-standing fronts, rears on walls about 6 feet off the floor). Plus, they are...

    Ferstler on Equalizers & The Importance of Frequency Response

    Yes, but it was 2nd order distortion so it sounded good. ;)

    BENNY HILL SHOW: complete and unedited!

    I actually know a guy from Hong Kong who talks like Chow Mein and then gets exasperated when you ask him to repeat what he said. After a bit, he gets frustrated and says: "What's the matter, don't you understand English?".
