    The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

    This is a great discussion going on here:emoji_thumbsup: Well, I have to mention just how great, I think, the DVD sounds. There is some serious LFE going on here. I kept playing over the scene with the machines are beginning their drilling, they hit the ground and...my concrete slab foundation...

    Audio is too complicated & expensive! So, who's for a retro speaker?

    It always brings a tear to my eye whenever I see pictures of Advent speakers, even if they aren't the originals. Having owned triple Advents with a Crown DC300a, originals from 1973, never broken or repaired, I can attest to the prodigious amounts of bass and volume from these speakers. I wish...

    Bass Peaks and Dips

    Thank you Richard for your explanation, which is alot clearer than what I thought I posted. Perhaps the combination of the two peices together, the BFD to flatten the responce and then the graphic eq used like 'tone controls' to set the sound to one's preference. jeff:emoji_thumbsup:

    Bass Peaks and Dips

    I'm considering one of two options currently available. One is the 1/3 octave eq that SVS offers and the other is the BFD. I suppose each has its own pluses and minuses. I can appreciate the BFD and how parametric eq'ing can be more precise in a given situation, like with narrow banded problems...

    Please help before I throw my BFD out the window?

    Could you tell me where you got that program to plot your response? is that a hand plot or is it a real-time plot cut and pasted from somwhere? Is there softwear and/or hardwear available at a reasonable cost, to do realtime plotting? That way would definately bee more accurate and certainly...

    turned sub down for MORE bass.........

    well, I'm glad I'M not the only one confused by this:confused: The sub level was at 0 before I cal'd. As I said, I set the sub level to what sounded pleasing to my ears, that's all. I moved the sub back into the corner a few weeks ago(as suggested by Tom @ SVS) and had to reduce the sub...

    turned sub down for MORE bass.........

    This is weird.... FInally got a RS meter and Avia. So last night I spent a good half-hour doing a speaker cal. The speakers were all relatively good, one or two tweeks. The sub took a bit more time. When I was done, my sub level on the receiver was set to -12. Huh? OK, do it again...yep -12...

    Speaker calibration method....Question...

    I am about to do a serious, or as serious as I can get:laugh:, speaker cal. I have the Ratshak SPL meter and a tripod. I read not too long ago here that the proper way to cal is to put the meter where your head is-therefor the tripod- and to point the meter at the intersection of the front wall...

    Infiniti G35-Owners Opinions?

    I've had my G35 since April and couldn't be happier with it. It's perfect for my needs. Comfortable, quiet, and REAL FAST!!! The IS300 was just too small -NO back seat, just like the 325i -and under powered, compared to the Infiniti. I did like the on wheel shifters tho..but there are too many...

    Greetings! I just got a Nokia 8260. Its a little mini one, really nice! clear as a bell and works everywhere! So I went out and bought a custom faceplate for it, but I can't get the original off. It just will not come off. No way:angry: Also, the entire phone seemed to 'come apart' as I was...

    What do do with old LP's ???

    I've got a few hundred albums collecting dust in my basement. Any idea as to what the current worth of vinyl is these days? I've heard stories of 10 cents per album. I've already removed only a few that I know are worth anything, as to the rest..... thanks!

    Time to get a car: Lexus IS300? '00 or '01 Passat? Or something else...?

    Justin - You are correct. The cars all come with the "standard options" wether you want them or not. Fortunately, I only had to wait about a week as I only "asked" for the premium and winter packages. When it arrived it had wood trim(nice) and HID lights(WOW) and the dealer didn't bang me...

    Rating the great steakhouses

    Ruth's Chris in NYC is always reliable. It's just that the martini's are $11.50:thumbsdown: Gallagher's in NY, NY is ok, but you MUST try HUGO's Cellar, in the Four Queens on Freemont Street, for an unforgettable experience

    To fellow cycling enthusiasts: I need help protecting my, ahem, derriere

    Go to your local LBS (local bike shop) and ask to demo a couple of models. Saddles are a subjective thing. You are just going to have to try a buch out to see how they feel. Personally, eveyone at my shop loves the Selle Flite - no narrow for my fat butt, ouch:angry:, so I tried a few others...

    Time to get a car: Lexus IS300? '00 or '01 Passat? Or something else...?

    The G35 is by far the best value out there right now. I've had mine for 3 months and think it's just KILLER!! I too do not believe in buying used, you don't know what you're getting. There are too many hidden problems that you won't be told about, then you have to shell out to fix later on...

    what music and movies to test the SLAM factor

    The first Emerson, Lake and Palmer album. the drum solo "Tank" at the end of the solo where they put the cymbals thru a synthesizer and the whole band comes POUNDING back with 20hz tones. You may crap your pants!!! Cerwin Vega used to use this track at the audio shows when they first went...

    lowest hz produced

    I have a question.... How long is the wave of a 16hz tone?? With all these subs supossedly being able to hit these infrasonic tones, wouldn't one need an enormous room for the sound waves to properly proagate?? Or would they just fold over on themselves and cancel if the room wasn't large...

    Where are the happy onkyo 500/600 owners?

    Ive had my 600 for almost a month now with no problems what so ever. I am driving 5 Polks and a Veoldyne sub and just LOVE the house vibrating sound levels I can get- only had it up to 85 so far:b My friend bought a 500 first and is using Pinnacle speakers for his system and he just loves...

    Surrounds on stands...How tall of stands?

    :) Hi- I am using adjustable stands by Furnitureworks that go from 31" to 45" and they have no problem supporting my Polk Rt25i's. The store I bought them from had RT35's on them with no problems too. Thet have a nice, solid adjustable clamping base and came with lots of little sticky pieces...

    Loudspeakers that play loud?

    Try finding a pair of Klipsch Horns if you want really loud. All horn loaded 3 way corner mounted speakers. Or maybe a pair of Voice of the Theatres. Possibly, if you could find them, Electrovoice Eliminators. All three types will make your ears BLEED (and your neighbors will hate you)...

    Question on LFE cable from receiver to subwoofer

    I'm using an AR HT-152 sub cable, that I got from accessories4less for like $19, with my new SR600. If your sub has dual inputs, like my Veoldyne, you'll need the Y adapter. I use all AR pro cables for everything. They are good cables and don't cost an arm and a leg, like some of the higher...
