    FS: SVS 16-46CS in mint condition

    I'm selling an SVS 16-46CS in mint condition. It's been used for a grand total of 10 hours or so. Long story short, it nearly got me evicted :) Great sub though, as i'm sure you all know! I've got the matching PartsExpress monoblock plate amp to go with it as well. Asking $400 for the sub and...

    Speaker placement plan - feedback please!

    Have a look at the plan below and let me know what you think. The reason fronts are so far from the front wall is because i figured the fireplace (that thing in the top right corner) would interfere with the sound waves. Also, where do you think i should place my SVS sub (options marked in red)...

    Building HT room: what in-wall cable for speakers?

    Should i use 12, 14 or 16-gauge in-wall speaker cable? Also, if i've got a bunch of cables going together, do they need to be kept at a certain distance from eachother, or does it not matter?

    Need help setting up TV card

    I've been using a modified (by KBK from SVS) Zoltrix Genie TV card for months with my satellite, and had no problems. I would just use an S-video cable to connect the receiver to the card's S-video input. However, my satellite is out of order this week, so i decided to hook up regular cable for...

    How long for Tempest to arrive?

    I remember hearing something about Adire drivers taking quite a while to arrive. I'm not ready to start making my sub yet, but i was thinking if they really do take their time, i would have to order right away.

    How hard would it be to mimic the SVS enclosure design?

    Well i'm thinking of building my own sonotube sub, and was looking around some sites. Maybe i haven't looked hard enough, but i have yet to see a sub that looks really good. So i was wondering, how hard would it be to build an enclosure that's near-identical to what SVS uses? Those look pretty...

    Looks like i'll have to build the sub myself!

    I just realised that an SVS 16-46PCi will cost me over $1200CDN after shipping and taxes. That's insane, i can't afford that. But if i were to get something cheaper, my bass wouldn't be as high quality as the rest of my system. So looks like i'm stuck building a sonotube if i want a quality...

    Quick shelf design?

    I'm not sure if this is on-topic here, but i'll try anyway. I need to construct a quick shelf to hold some equipment. Right now, i have my Denon 3802 sitting on my desk, and my DishNet receiver on top of my PC case. It's very inconvenient. I want to make a shelf that will allow me to place my...

    Building my first subwoofer

    Alright, i just realised that if i end up buying one, the following will happen: i will buy a subwoofer that i can afford and end up kicking myself for the next 5 years, or i will spend three times more than i was planning to and then end up feeling ripped off because i could have gotten the...

    MMORPG on RPTV: am i suicidal?

    I'm a hardcore MMORPG (online RPG) fan and i know that when the next one comes out, i will play it on my RPTV for at least an hour or two a day. As you all know, MMORPG's tend to have a lot of static interface elements. Health/mana/stamina bars on top, spell bar in the bottom, inventory on the...

    Which TV's support 480p?

    I was just wondering if 480p is only available on HDTV's? Or would i be able to get a non-HD 16:9 RPTV that supports it?

    DSS only source of HD signal?

    Is satellite the only source of HDTV-quality signal? What kind of resolution will be used for regular output from my HTPC, such as games or web browser?

    RPTV as monitor?

    Well i heard that RPTV's aren't all that great when used as monitors right now. I also heard that this will change soon. So what exactly is the problem right now and how and when will it be addressed? Up until today, i was planning to buy an HDTV and use it as i would a monitor. The only thing...

    Energy Take 5.2 and music?

    I heard great things about this system and i really want to get it. The only thing that's stopping me is the things i heard about this system being used to play music. I love music and listen to it all the time, mostly trance and rap. I would hate to end up with a system that won't perform well...

    Current HD Obsolete?

    I heard someone mention something about all current HD hardware being obsolete because the standard was changed or something like that? Could someone clarify please? I was planning on getting an HDTV but i'm not so sure anymore.

    Where's the hum coming from?

    Alright, i just got a pair of SONY MDR-7506 headphones - probably the first piece of truly good audio equipment i've ever bought. I hooked them up directly to my sound card - they sound great. Decided to also try hooking them up to my receiver. They sound far better, extremely noticable...
