    Sony Sub Tweaks

    I have hardwoods, would installing rubber feet on my sub help? Also, would placing plants, or something like that on top make much of a difference?

    Sony Sub Tweaks

    Since I haven't seen too many responses, I will post some info. I have found on other sites. I don't take credit for any of this...I am just cutting and pasting: I have had several people e-mail me for more information on the modifications I have made on my sub, so I am writing this for all to...

    PSB vs JBL...in home shoot-out

    Thomas, Noticed you live in Ft. Worth. Do you have a good PSB source locally? Most of the places on the PSB site are custom installers and don't have retail locations, so it makes auditioning a little difficult. Also, I can't seem to find anyone willing to deal on PSB. I think PSB would be...

    Sony Sub Tweaks

    I know it's been discussed before, but since the search function never seems to work... Does anyone have the links to the past threads regarding the Sony SAW-M40 tweaks. If not, any interest in reigniting this useful discussion since there seems to be a lot of SA users.

    Thoughts on budget PSB 5.1 setup

    Let us (me) know how it goes! I'm glad to see some PSB action on this forum. I have been shopping speakers for about a year and always end up going back to the PSB's. Paradigms and Mirage get a lot of kudos around here (especially the former) and I think PSB is a true contender among speaker...

    PSB vs JBL...in home shoot-out

    I have an Onkyo 575x receiver. For the DVD tests, I had all JBL's and the PSB pair. I was really more focused on the mains. I actually turned the center speaker off for comparison sake. I have returned the JBL's and plan to get all PSB's. Now I just need to decide which ones. I'm starting...

    Thoughts on budget PSB 5.1 setup

    see my post... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/uub/...ML/044793.html I have auditioned a lot of different speakers (mirage, B&K, paradigm, mission, etc..) and I think the PSB speakers are definitley underrated. I am running the Sony sub by the way and think it works very well, especially for...

    PSB vs JBL...in home shoot-out

    Chuck, I sense a little sarcasm in your response, but I am known to be a little paranoid. The cabinets may not be veneer, but real wood. To be honest, I'm not sure. I do know that they are NOT plastic. As far as controlled experiment, I don't claim that. I was just offering my opinion of...

    PSB vs JBL...in home shoot-out

    Well, I have asked on this forum and received a lot of good feedback, but the only way to really find out for sure... I just got my PSB Image 1B pair today. I have been running JBL N26 for about 2 weeks now. The JBL's came from BB and the PSB's online...since both cost almost exactly the...

    My first home teature system. Opinions please.

    I have the sony SA-WM40. I don't know if it's a good sub, but it definitely covers the low end well enough. I can't really explain what I hear, it just seems a little cold and not full. But I must stress that my room is 12x20 with 9' ceilings, hardwood floors, no rugs, minimal furnishings...

    My first home teature system. Opinions please.

    You can probably find a better receiver for less. Do some searches around here. I just got an Onkyo 575x (discontiued) for less than $300. The new 595 isn't much more. Do yourself a service and check out some higher end shops. Surprisingly, you'll find better stuff, often times more...

    PSB or JBL?

    In my auditions, I really like PSB. I got the JBL's from Best BUy, so a good listen was not an option. I based my decision on wanting speakers for my new reciever immediately and things I have read in this forum. So far, I'm pretyy much getting the answer I expected. I would be interested to...

    PSB or JBL?

    I just got a pair of JBL N26 to go with my Onkyo 575x. I have auditioned speakers forever, but haven't really compared anything to the JBL. I'm not overly impressed, buy I know my room is problematic. I was wondering has anyone compared them to PSB? Specifically Image 1B or Image 2B...I...

    New Onkyo Receiver...now for the speakers

    After researching for far too long, I finally made the plunge into HT and got the Onkyo 575x on closeout. It arrived yesterday (I was expecting to get it Tuesday) so I was a little unprepared speaker wise. I got a little anxious and picked up a pair of JBL N26 at BB for my temporary mains. I...

    A couple of hard-to-find items at Radio Shack???

    I have the One-For-All Cinema 7. It is virtually the same as the RS 1994, with volume punch through. I personally prefer the layout of the OFA to the RS. As far as I know, it is still in production and easily found.

    Help me compile a list of "affordable" DVD-A players available now or in near future

    Does the JVC come in any color besides gold? I hate that.

    Onkyo TX-DS575x

    I came to the 575 conclusion after researching here and many other internet sites. I have also auditioned most of the recievers in my price range and feel the onkyo's come out ahead for the money. I have decided on the 575x rather than the 595 for two reasons. One, I have read many reviews of...

    Onkyo TX-DS575x

    Well I've researched and researched for many months, and have finally decided that I want to bite the bullet and go with the Onkyo 575. However, this model has been discontinued. I thought I might get lucky and pick one up on close-out, but no such luck. The guy at evil CC told me they just...
