Patrick, People seem to be missing the point that your on basic (non-digital) cable. If you want the receiver in the loop, I would go for a simple stereo connection (RCA cables) between the TV's audio out and the DTV/CBL input on the receiver for your tv audio. That appears to be the best...

A second thing: If you're trying to avoid cash outlays for a while, it is possible to connect using regular wire via "speaker level" input to the sub if you have some wire laying around. There, you run ordinary wire from the left and right front channels to the speaker level input of the...

Just to clarify: It's the norm fo Home Theater A/V receivers to have NOT have a built-in amplifier for the ".1" subwoofer channel. And the receiver will have a RCA connector with line level output for the subwoofer. It's labeled "Pre-Out Subwoofer" on your new receiver. Every powered...

It been an entertaining show. Didn't start that way: It was a spin-off of another courtroom show The Practice. Alan Shores first showed up there as an outrageous character (just as he is now). But the first season of Boston Legal it was like Alan Shores had been completely rewritten as just...

There's "major" overhaul for my family room going on, electronic-wise. Vann's delivering a HL61A750 Monday. It replaces a Toshiba 57H81 CRT RP set that went dark three weeks ago after 7 years. That the biggest change. Vann has a bundle of the Samsung with a Logitech Harmony 670 remote, so...

Jim, These no reason you can't build a rectanglar cabinet of MDF for your subwoofer. Sonotube is a popular way to build a subwoofer for DIY'ers because it requires less bracing or none at all, is lighter than a MDF cabinet, and typically can be assembled a little quicker. But if the "silo"...

Any system could sound most impressive with a subwoofer. I think most of us believe it's cost effective when we start the DIY approach with a single driver/plate amp design. Wiht a possible average cost of $300-400 for a Shiva/plate amp design, you can find cheaper subs, but they are not in...

By the way, the thread that Julian Data posted about real world vs. LsdCAD simulations is http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/...ML/002288.html

Jones, I don't know the in's and out's of every part of the LsdCAD software, but I do know that there are somethings that don't work the way we may expect them. A case in point; the SPL, cone excursion, port airspeed can be simulated at any power you like with the measurement setup dialog box...

I suggest you may wish to simulate your Shiva in-room using LspCAD, a design package setup you can get free from Adire Audio at http://www.adireaudio.com/software.htm I don't disagree with the suggestion that 12db/octave room gain is high. You can look for a thread here from Julian Data, if...
