For the Metallica S&M concert, there are two versions available on Amazon.com. One is called "Metallica - S & M with the San Fransisco Symphony (1999)" and the other is called "S&M Smartpack (2004)." What is the difference between these two? I have provided the links below: 1999 version...
The audio side of my home theater consists of the following: A/V Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 8500 (named AVR 8000 in the US) Center: Klipsch RC-7 (98 dB sensitivity) Mains: Klipsch RF-7 (102 dB sensitivity) Surrounds: Klipsch RS-7 (98 dB sensitivity) Subwoofer: None (but working on it)...
I am planning on getting either the SVS PB13-Ultra or the JL Audio Fathom f113. One option for me is the place the subwoofer where the plant is (see the following two pics). Or I can place the subwoofer where the bookshelf is. My question is, if I choose the place the...
My speakers have started buzzing quite loudly. Before, you could only hear the buzz if you put your ear right next to the speaker but now it can be heard from the seating position (and I haven't changed anything). I've noticed that when I turn on my A/V receiver, the buzz is quite faint/quiet...
Why is it that all the sites I go to, none of them have the DTS version of "Jurassic Park"? Amazon only has the Dolby Digital 5.1 version in stock and the same is true for the other sites. Why is this? Did they stop producing the DTS version? Secondly, should I just get the Dolby Digital 5.1...
When will A/V receivers and home theater processors be able to decode Blu-ray audio formats? Will the audio stream be able to be transfered via optical or coaxial cables or only via HDMI? For Blu-ray players today, is there any difference in sound quality/loudness between sending the audio...
I understand Blu-ray offers better audio through Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, and DTS-HD Master Audio. My question is, does my A/V receiver need to be able to decode these new formats for me to take advantage just like regular DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1? Do...
I have the Klipsch Reference Series 7 speakers (RF-7, RC-7, and RS-7) hooked up to a Harman Kardon AVR 8500 A/V receiver. My room is about 11 x 14. My budget is sort of low for a subwoofer for now so I was looking at the SVS PB10-NSD. Any opinions/comments on the subwoofer? Would it blend in...
We finally got our home theater up and running and WOW! We listened to the pod race at 0 dB on the A/V receiver and DAMN! Never heard anything like it! I haven't even calibrated it yet. Anyway, I do have some questions. 1. Will it be okay to place the speakers like this: X...X...X...
I can only get ONE of the following DVDs: The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) The Matrix Reloaded (Widescreen Edition) X2 - X-Men United (Widescreen Edition) Which one? I have seen them all, but which do you think has the best sound?
I would like to spend about $1,500 on an A/V receiver for my Klipsch Reference Series 7 speakers. Which ones should I consider? Home theater is first priority.
I have come up with the following cables for our home theater. Center speaker: Monster Cable MCX1s ML-C10 -$30.00/each- Main speakers: Monster Cable MCX1s ML-10/10 -$50.00/pair- Surround speakers: Monster Cable MCX1s ML-20/20 -$90.00/pair- Component: Monster Cable MV2CV-1M -$49.95/each-...
We are about to buy the mentioned amplifier and preamp/processor combo for our Klipsch Reference Series 7 speakers. I just want to make sure that there are no newer Rotel amplifiers or preamps/processors around the corner. Well, are there? ;)
On the back of the subwoofer, why are there "Left" and "Right" connections? Secondly, why are there "Input" and "Output" connections? Shouldn't there only be "Input" connection?
I know SVS subwoofers go deep and loud, but can they *HIT* you with bass? I am basically refering to IMPACT and SLAM. I heard from some people that SVS lacks impact and slam of other subwoofers. Is this true?
