    Just to clarify, all Def Tech surrounds are bipole rather than dipole.

    B&K 507 vs. Outlaw 950 +Outlaw amp

    I had a 307 hooked up to my Def Techs for a short time, about two years ago. It was fantastic. I can't imagine that you would not be seriously happy with a 507. Another great thing about B&K, is that they regularly offer updates for their equipment. I have no personal experience with Outlaw, but...

    It's Pioneer for me, but... 1014, Elite 41 or 45?

    If you are asking if the 1014 has onscreen display of the setup menus etc..., then the answer is yes.

    Pioneer 1014 Wow

    gene c, I saw similar problems with the video upconversion on the 1014. Vertical lines, dot crawl(especially visible on Xbox, DirecTivo guide), flesh tones being more red, picture being a little darker overall, etc... I did extensive testing with multiple components, cables, inputs, and so...

    sub to match def tech setup?

    How are you planning to utilize this extra sub? Are you planning on using this extra sub in concert with the subs that are in your towers and cc? Or, are you planning on setting all of your speakers to small, thereby sending all low frequencies to the new sub, thus bypassing the subs that are in...

    HK vs. Denon Consensus?

    Or the Pio 1014. If you buy in a couple of months, the 1015 will be out with 3 component inputs, as opposed to the two on the 1014. dany, do you know if the 2105 allows you to rename the inputs? And, what about audio delay? Unfortunately, the 1014 doesn't do either. **EDIT** The 2105...

    And, I have a strong feeling that he isn't the only one that feels that way.:)

    will the pioneer 1014 do this?

    The multichannel input is only 5.1 on the 1014.

    Gona pull trigger on 1014 this week. Any reason I shouldn't?

    Where does one get a "10% off preferred customer coupon"?

    pioneer 1014 preouts with ATI 2505?

    The Pio 1014 and the ATI 2505 will work just fine together.

    new system setup

    Thomas, If you decide to go with Def Tech, I would suggest going with their non-powered towers. You will get better results with those and your separate sub. Then, if you ever feel you need more bass, take the money you will save and buy another sub to stack with that Velo. Just speaking from...

    Need help finding a sub for Mirage OMNI speaker setup... please?

    While I will leave it to others to recommend specific subs, I would definitely say your on the right track in looking at both SVS and HSU. For instance, SVS has two box subs, the PB10-ISD($429) and PB12-ISD($599), that fit both your price and size requirements, as well as a small handful of...

    Axiom vs definitive Technology

    DavidNighorn is right about the powered towers. Having a Def Tech setup that includes powered towers myself, I can tell you that it is better to have a seperate sub. That's how I'm running now, and it is fantastic. Could have saved some serious cash had I known better at the time. My advice, if...

    how good is the pioneer VSX-1014 going to be compared to the elite.....

    Can someone tell me if there are discrete codes available for this receiver? In other words, will I be able to set my Pronto up so that I can just hit DVD, Satellite, etc and have the right inputs, without having to toggle through the inputs?

    Connecting DVD recorder to DTV Tivo

    By realtime, he means that if it is a two hour show that you want to dump to dvd, it will take two hours. And during that two hours, you can't watch something different. The Tivo will only output one thing at a time. You can have the Tivo recording in the backround though.

    I need to decide directv or Dish

    I wouldn't discount PVR services. They will literally change the way you watch TV. Great for recording shows for viewing later when the kids are done monopolizing the TV, or vice versa. In this regard, DirecTV is the hands down winner over both Dish and cable, in my opinion, due to their Tivo...

    What Satellite Network PVR to get

    Wasn't sure where Bedford is. So, no you don't need a triple lnb dish to get Dallas locals. And yes, a dual dish with a multiswitch works fine. I used that setup for a long time before getting the triple for my local channels. Cool, good to know. The wording on my Phillips Series 1 lead me to...

    What Satellite Network PVR to get

    Since you stated that you don't have a home network, you will have to have a phone line plugged into each receiver. This can be accomplished with wireless or powerline solutions if there is no phone jack nearby. Besides PPV functions, DirecTivos use the phone connection to get program guide...

    Definitive Technology speakers????

    Looks like that's somewhere around 15% off msrp if my math is correct, not bad I guess. I was able to get my Def Tech setup for 25% off msrp but, I'm not sure if that is possible everywhere or not. Try a little more haggling perhaps. Also, as others have stated, rethink the sub. At least go up...

    Need Advice on a New Laptop

    There is an Inspiron 1100 listed at gotapex.com that Dell is selling through the small business division that starts at $674 after $25 instant savings and $100 dollar mail in rebate. I speced one out earlier today and made some upgrades to a 2.4 Pentium 4 from the celeron, went up to a 30 gig hd...

    Tower speakers and rock

    Well, a question like that is bound to stir up some emotions around here.:D Actually, if you do a search, you should be able to find some past threads on this subject. In the end, the best suggestion is going to be for you to listen to as many brands as possible, and buy what sounds good to you...

    Will DLP fade away?

    def. tech wiring recommendations

    Many people say that Def Techs are not musical due to the diffuse nature of their bi-polar design. While they may not image as well as the best direct radiators, they present a very wide soundstage and, in my opinion, are very musical nonetheless. Unless you are a most critical audiophile, I...

    Satellite - HELP!

    Having had Time Warner and Charter service, I can safely say that DirecTv offers better value for quantity, quality and price. As others have said, don't blow off Tivo/PVR. I could no longer live without it. Well, perhaps that's a bit dramatic but, you know what I mean.:)
