    No Sound: RCA HT In a Box

    I know, before you start knocking it, a friend of mine could not care less about sound quality, got this unit for real cheap (DD Receiver & five speakers). I went to his home, hooked it all up and there is no sound. I am very experienced with HT, but just could not get sound, even from the...

    Anybody know this movie?

    I remember seeing a movie about the same time Dream with the Fishes came out (like 3 yrs ago or so). It's about a couple of guys that try to make a movie, it has a bunch of slight comedy in it. One of the guys has a little shop or something on the beach, with surfing stuff I think. It is a...

    Thoughts about using Integra 7.2 as a pre/pro

    I am thinking of using this unit as a pre/pro, I just can't wait any longer for the Outlaw or Rotel. Anyone ever heard of Integra? I was told by a guy at the stereo store I always buy from, that he uses it w/o seperate amplification, and he is blown away by it sonically. Does anyone think this...

    B&W DS6 as center surround in 6.1/7.1 setup?

    I have the B&W DS6 as rear surrounds now, with Martin Logan Aerius at the front. My question is, should I be using two more DS6 in the rear for 7.1 sound, considering also that they are a dipole speaker. They would be 4 feet behind and 7-8 feet in the air...no other choice. The rear ones are...

    5 Channel amp - No center - Can I power a sub?

    I have been watching a debate over center channel versus no center channel. I recently moved from PSB Stratus Silvers w/C6 center to Martin Logan Aerius w/o a center channel (just for the record, this sounds much better than the PSB running the center, who would've thunk it!). I now have a...

    I am just wondering, for example, if TPM goes below 20Hz (THX Trailer goes down to approx 10Hz), will the SVS 20-39 still reproduce the sound even though it is "tuned in" at 20Hz? Sorry I don't know the technical jargin that well, but I have currently a PSB Subsonic 3, and was thinking of...
