    Ceiling Mounted Projector and Ceiling Mounted Infinite Baffle Subwoofer - Dustin B???

    Hi, I recently purchased an InFocus 4805 Projector and as of now it sits on the coffee table. I have an Infinite Baffle subwoofer mounted between the rafters in the ceiling between my main speakers. It consists of two 15" drivers facing each other in a 22"x22"x17" box with a grill covering...

    Velvet Revolver - Sounds Very Good

    Heard the new Velvet Revolver on the radio here in Phoenix and it sounds real good. The song is named "Slither" from the album "Contraband" and is good old rock and roll provided by Scott, Slash, and the boys. I think this music is headed a little back in time. Can't wait for the album!!!

    Newly found respect for Dad

    My teenage son(15) wanted a new system to listen to his favorite radio station as well as his cd player. He was looking at all these mini systems asking me which is best, as I would cringe each time he asked. He doesn't really understand fine audio. We went to BB, CC, etc... to look at equipment...

    Infinite Baffle Subwoofer - Wow!!!

    I just recently installed a IB sub in my attic using 2 15" Dayton DVC IB drivers, PE 250 watt plate amp, and a Behringer Feedback Destroyer. Not to brag or anything, but this is the best bass I think I've ever heard. Very tight and accurate and can be very loud with little amplication. Seems...

    Porcupine Tree- "Heart Attack in a Layby"

    I have been listening lately to the newest Porcupine Tree(PT) "In Absentia" cd. I read somewhere that this effort is a concept album concerning a serial killer. What do you think? Also the track 'Heart Attack in a Layby' has me baffled. Firstly, what is a layby? Is this like a rest stop on...

    Sony dropped the ball on the DA4ES

    I've been looking for a receiver to use as a pre/pro. I have 5 channels of Parasound power. I've looked at Yamaha, Sony, and Denon. My criteria includes multi-room with the ability to assign two of the receivers amps as the power for the 2nd room. I thought I would try the Sony 4ES after a 10...

    Stereophile Test CD 2- Track #8

    I just received my copies of the three Stereophile Test CD's. I have been concentrating on the #2 disc, specifically track #8. I'm not sure how to describe this music, maybe "Big Band", but I like it very much. Does anyone have recommendations on music of this sort. Note, I only want high...

    Proac Response 2.5 Clone is Complete

    I have been listening to my newly assembled Proac 2.5 clones for a few days. To be honest, I am surprised! These diy's are smooth, detailed, musical, and have alot of bass for only 7" drivers. I have taken my subwoofer off line and am satisfied with the low end. I don't have much experience with...

    Spikes and Binding Posts

    I'm in the process of building the Proac Response 2.5 clones and need a source for high quality spikes and binding posts. I've looked at Parts Express and Madisound and don't see what I want. The spikes must be able to convert to rounded feet for the purpose of hardwood floors. The...

    Proac Response 2.5 Clone Project

    I'm trying to gather enough information on the Proac 2.5 clone to begin building the speaker. I have visited the website. Does anybody here have any advice concerning this project? Specifically, what did you line the inside walls with and did you include any kind of stuffing. What about...

    Marantz AV-9000

    I have been reading a little about this pre/pro and the specs state that it has six-channel direct inputs. When I look at a photo of the rear of the unit I see only a center, sub woofer, and l/r surrounds. What happened to the l/r main inputs. What am I missing here?. I don't want to...

    Marantz AV550 triggering Parasound Amp

    FWIW, I posted yesterday to find out if the Marantz AV550 pre/pro could trigger on my Parasound 2003A amp. I actually received an email back from Marantz stating that the voltage output from the Marantz is 5 volts, which is not the required 12 volts that the Parasound requires. I tried the...

    12 volt trigger on Parasound

    I recently upgraded to separates and am running a Marantz AV-550 pre/pro and a Parasound 2003A amplifier. The parasound has the ability to auto turn on when a 12 volt signal is received. I have read through the Marantz owners manual and it states that the Marantz can trigger other Marantz...

    Output from pre to multiple amps

    Here's the current situation. I currently have a 5 channel receiver which has an A/B speaker selector. The A is my main theater room and the B runs the speakers on the patio. This will be the setup this weekend: Marantz AV-550 pre/pro, Parasound HCA 2200 II (2 channel amp for the mains)...

    Audax A652

    Has anyone built this kit? I am interested in how these puppies sound. Looks like they use pretty high quality drivers. Are they worth $650.00 for parts and lumber?
