Sorry Kevin, that was an over caffinated post :)

Kevin, I have a pair of 2ce's, and for my ears, these speakers are just right. After many years of listening, they are still such that I don't find myself desiring any other speaker. These speakers cured my "up-grade-itis" bug. If I got stuck on a desert island I would take the 2ce's...

Mike_Ch, when you said you tried any connection, did this include optical? Is this an option for you? I used to have a slight hum with a Hafler pre/power combo, but replaced the pre with a Yamaha and switched to all optical connections for audio and plug all video straight to TV. Obviously I...

I think it doesn't hurt to try isolation techniques. If by experimenting, even if you only reduce the vibration transmission to your neighbors by 3db, isn't that significant? I would get a sub with a heavy ( > 80lbs ), solid enclosure, and couple it to the floor with three sharp spikes. With...

At that price I agree, bookshelf will sound better, if you have a nice sub. I have a pair of NHT super one's, a sealed box design. They are great for HT and surprising good for music. My sub is a Sunfire. At lower freq. the sub is great, but unfortunately my rec. xover is at 90Hz, and the...

Jon, what kind of sub is it? Do you have a SPL meter? (don't know where you live, but available at Radio Shack) If not, they are not too expensive, I think $50-$90 depending on analog or digital display. By telling us the type of sub and how loud the SPL meter registers (C wieghted, taken...

Well I will try one more time to exchange JP1 & JP2 "Collectors" fullscreen edition for the widescreen. I did a search and found a related post, someone had luck claiming the disc was defective and got it exchanged for a new, shrink wrapped version, which he then exchanged for a widescreen...

I'm not absolutely positive but I've read in a few places that the Yamaha S1200 has the same engine as the Panasonic RP91. (at power up it annouces "Welcome to DVD world!") However due to its high MSRP ($999 at Good Guys) it isn't as good a deal as the Panasonic. On the upside, if you have to...

I agree with TerryC & parts of Trevor's post. Find dealers that will let you take a pair home, and audition them there. Your listening room, combined with your ears are acoustically unique, and are the biggest variables outside the speaker. At the dealer, I also find it difficult to determine...

Hi Guys, I've only started reading HTF recently so forgive me if this has been covered before... yesterday I bought a bunch of DVDs ($150 worth!!) at the local Best Buy, including a Collector's Set of JP1 and JP2. Unfortunately the first thing I did when I got home is to remove all the shrink...

A little off topic, and Howard maybe you've already taken all these steps... but if not perhaps it may save you some $$$. Howard's question and Steve Zimmerman's response reminds me of a story about my friend, who also had "upgrade-itis." He had just finished a major purchase, including preamp...
