    Spy Game, viewed 1 time. Perfect condition. My trade for something anyone in the family can watch (PG13) or will sell for $10 plus $3.50 shipping. Would like a title with DTS, but not mandatory.

    The Rant I sent to the Postal Service

    Although I checked off Priority Mail, this post deals with Express Mail as well. I just want to say that the US Postal Service is the poorest excuse for a delivery service as I could ever imagine. Last year, I mailed out (at about twice the cost of UPS) an insured package, only to have it...

    $300 good price for Denon DVD2800 ?

    It looks like Denon is clearing out several of the 2800s that probably came back in due to required updates with the first round of problematic 2800s. I currently have a Yamaha handling the DVD duties, but it's not progressive, so I thought this might be a good time and price to move up to a...

    CS Ultra with S700 vs. S1000 ?

    Okay, maybe one of you SVS guys can help me out here. It's been a few weeks, but maybe Ron or Tom remembers that I purchased an Ultra and a S700 amp from one of the fellows on this board so that he could go the upgrade path to dual CS+ and I'd get a little more "umph" from the Ultra vs. the...

    amplification properties question

    I was thinking about picking up one of the good deals on the Parasound 855 amp, but first thought I should ask around to see if I'm understanding things correctly. When bi-amping a speaker, are you effectively doubling the output to it and does bi-amping ever present a problem to the speaker...

    DIY rack other than flexi- style? pics please

    If you have built a rack other than a flexi-rack, I'd love to see pictures of it. I built a flexi, but it just wasn't as refined looking as I wanted.. plus, I was afraid of sliding components into the threads and scraping them. Surely someone has built a nice looking wood rack that they'd...

    SVS -- amp & wire routing question

    I ordered a SVS 16-46PC (self powered) sub yesterday, but after thinking about my wiring route, am wondering if I should have went with the Sampson Amp. I'm going to have to run about 30 feet of wire to get from my stereo to the corner that I have to place the sub in. (I'm very limited on my...

    SV Subwoofer's Phone Number?

    I'm sure it's on the site, but I can't find it. Does anyone have the phone number to SVS? Also, where do the subs ship from? I'm trying to determine shipping time. Thanks!

    Placement for center channel spear on a rptv?

    Okay, the 43" Hitachi is on the way, but according to the dimensions, there is only about 4-5" of flat surface on which to put the center speaker. I currently have an oak (it matches the ET Center perfectly) Bose 6.2 sitting on top for the center channel. That will never work with the new tv...
