    My humble X-LS impressions

    I have done the x-over upgrade to the X-LS speakers and it was worth it IMO. It improved the clarity, focus, and resolution of the speaker...excellent improvement!

    I need a new sub, Any advice?

    Agreed...I have purchased most if not all of my audio gear over the last 5 years via internet direct companies. IMHO they deliver more bang for the buck in most cases then what you will find in B&M stores! Just one guys opinion! :)

    ACI Sapphire XL Review

    I would tell you that I have done a/b comparisions with both the 25th Anniversary and the XL's. IMHO the XL's are better then the 25th's in every way. They are a "cleaner" overall speaker. The revelator woofer is really an amazing component...it's articulate, visceral, and controlled. I would...

    Price of Rockets RS550

    Hi Dom, While I'm not Nahn I also have the 550's however mine are being used as rears right now. I'm using an HK7200 to power them and they sound great with the HK. I have had my 550's in the front as well and I was very surprised with the low-end of these speakers. They are rated to 42hz so...

    Rockets vs. Axiom (value speakers)

    Joe, yes I do mean the ELT mains... Seeing as you are located in Dever why don't you contact AV123 and see if they can do a demo of the ELT system for you. They are just up the road in Broomfield about 30 minutes north of Denver...Good luck and let us know what you decide! :cool:

    H/K & Rocket support: good, bad, or ugly?

    I would second Nhan's comments about AV123's customer service...IMO they are second to none when it comes to having the customers best interests at heart...I wouldn't worry at all about any purchases from there...Panny, Sanyo, Samsung, and HK are a whole different ball of wax...good luck with...

    Rockets vs. Axiom (value speakers)

    Joe, I have a ELT package here that I use with a dual SVS 20-39CS+ combo...I have been extremely happy with the performance of these speakers. I would take a very hard look at the ELT's as the center speaker is amazing to say the least especially when you consider the price they are selling...

    For $1,500 is the H/K AVR 330 and the Bose AM10 a good choice?

    Russell, I would check out the ELT bundle package that www.av123.com is selling. I have a set of these at the house and they are definitely better than any Bose speaker IMO. They are selling the 5.1 ELT speaker package and a Denon 1804 for something like $1395.00. The ELT speaker package has...

    Speakers to go with H/K receiver

    I would definitely take a look at the ELT package that www.av123.com is selling for $999.00. This might be a little harder to demo but it would be worth the trouble IMO. You could check out www.audioevny.com or post on AV123 forum that you are looking for a demo and I'm sure that people would be...

    7.1 Receiver Question

    Hey Nathan, I have had a HK7200 for a couple months now and I would say that it compares very well to the Outlaw 950/7100 package. The HK7200 was bench tested in S&V this summer at 142 watts per channel with 5 channels driven. It is capable of drawing 75amps and is the only receiver that I...

    H/K AVR-7200 or Sony STR-DA3000

    HK7200 here as well. IMO at the prices they are selling them for you have jump on it. I have had seperates for the last couple years and I have been very happy with the performance of the HK since switching from my Rotel 1066/Parasound 2205AT combo. Good luck with your decision! :cool:
