My brother has a pair of Polk MOnitor 7s that were new in 1977 or '78. The rubber surrounds on the mid-woofer and PR are going. I know that foam surrounds can be replaced, but what about the rubber on these things. I would imagine that replacing the drivers/PRs might be just as expensive as...

HI, I just ordered one of these Universal players (Samsung DVD-HD841). I am man old Who fan. I even saw the first American performance of Tommy at teh Grande Ballroom in Detroit in 1969. However, I'm not interested in getting two new copies of this right off the bat. So which do you recommend?

Well, after lurknig here for well over a year, I decided that it would be time to act this spring. I wanted a new sub and used what I learned here and elsewhere to design a sub witha Quatro 15 driver, four inch Precision Port, and 240 PE plate amp. AS it happened, the driver went on sale as a...

I have a Stryke Audio test disc with two types of tones, warble tones and I forget what teh other ones are called. Which ones are best to use to calibrate a sub? Also, where can I get a chart of corrected values for the venerable RS meter? Thanks again, everyone.

I’m a bit stunned here. I bought a Quatro 15” driver and PE 500 watt amp with the plan to build this in the spring. I’m sure you guys knew what would happen better than I did. Anyway, I’m nearly done. Sorry, I have no access to a digital camera to post pictures. I have the cabinet assembled and...

I am building a ported sub. I was planning to line it with polyfil batting. Is there anything better to use? What is the best way to attach it? I have a staple gun. Thanks in advance.

OK. Now that I've hit the PE sales fo ran amp, driver, and Precision Port, I have somequestions that I have not seen addressed here or anywhere else regarding subwoofer cnstruction. 1. Is it better to put the port in the back or in the front? Why? If it is in the back, how far from the wall...

I've been lurking here for what seems to be forever. So I bought a Quatro 15 because it was on sale until about an hour ago. I also bought a port for it. I wasn't going to do anything until spring, but anyone reading this probably knows what happened over the last 24 hours or so. For those who...

or all of us who bought our RTi bookshelf speakers within the last year from CC or any place that allows a trade-up will be boxing up our old speakers to trade for the RTi6's, which are listed at $229 per pair. If you don't believe me, check it out before they become aware of it. I think...

Well, gang, I think I've passed a rite of passage yesterday when, on the way homw from work, a guy in a tan mini-van motions for me to roll down my window. He then asks if I want to buy some new speakers. Mind you, this was while driving 45 MPH down Telegraph Rd. Anyone from Southeast MI will...

HARVEST OF LIFE- Lisa Pappas I should begin by saying that I volunteer as a box office person at a small theater in Livonia, MI called the Trinity House Theater. It is in an old church on Six Mile Rd. just west of I-275. (www.trinityhouse.org.) If one digs out the trusty shoehorn, maybe 100...

Does anybody know how many versions of this song have been recorded by various artists? So far, I have run across versions by: MC5 (naturally) Rage Against the Machine Tim Buckley Blue Oyster Cult The Presidents of the United States of America Monster Magnet Henry Rollins and...

Saw a stsack of these below the shelf where they had one of teh 509s on display. There was no 511 on the shelf and no price listed. I did not ask because I am not in the market fo ra receiver at this time. I only comment in it because I thiught that this is a new unit. For some reason, I thought...

I finally got my Pioneer receiver from Refurbdepot.com after UPS, uh, misplaced it. I have everything hooked up and it all seems to be working od except for this loud buzz that comes through the system when either a commercial comes on or if a title is imposed on the screen such as the...

I was checking tvs out on teh Worst Buy website and noticed that th eflat screen ones cost about half again as much as the, uh, non-flat screen ones. So what is the advangtage of the flat screen? Thanks for all replies.

OK gang, I am soliciting opinions here. I got my monthly Worst Buy 10% off coupon. I do not yet own a DVD player, not do I have a HDTV or surround sound system. Yet. The initial plan is to purchase a DVD player nest weekend with the coupon. I am then hoping to get a new receiver within the...

What I like about all of these forums is that one can always learn SOMETHING. One of the more recent bits I've picked up on is refurbished equipment. I saw refurbdepot in one forum. Does anybody know if there are any others? And how 'bout opinions on the quality of the goods and services...

Hope I picked the right area for this one. The tweeter on one of my Polk Monitor 7Cs blew. Polk wants $60 for the replacement part plus shipping. The speakers are 22 years old. Should I try replacing the tweeter or start thinking about new speakers? Might there be a less expensive...

Has anybody ever directly compared these speakers?
