I've heard that the PC and PCi series subs have built in limiters or subsonic filters to prevent damage. The passive CS, CS+ and Ultra models do not. Obviously there is an advantage to both. Due to recent trends in HOT DVDs like LOTR and AOTC, I'm thinking I should set a filter or two on my...

USER BEWARE!! The new Star Wars Ep II DVD has too much bass! (: The first sceen with the Senator's ship is an absolute killer. My properly calibrated system could not handle it at even 7 db below reference. Most bassy scenes in the first 30 minutes could barely be tolerated at 10 db below...

NO need for 4-5 discs, just looking for the 2 disc release in excellent condition. Thought I'd check here if any of you are upgrading and want to get rid of your old copy. BBV has them for $10, prev-viewed, so I'd be willing to pay close to that. Email me: [email protected] Thanks, Troy

Looking for Klipsch KG bookshelves for HT. KG 2.2 or 2.5. Let me know what you got.... Troy

MSRP = $299 That's amazing! Where can I get one, and when will they become available? Troy

I just picked up a great used Crest Audio LA 910 amp at a garage sale. The owner said it was bridgeable, and there is a switch for bridged mode. It puts out 325 watts/channel with 4 ohms per the sticker on the back. I have an SVS CS+ and would like to maximize it. Was thinking I could bridge...

In this bottom graph, the sub only is in blue.

Will pay cash new or used. I want a good deal on this DVD, so what do you say?? Troy

I'm interested in getting a 36" tube, and I really like the WEGA. However, price is high. I've noticed some other makers comming out with flat screens as well. Do any of these come close the the WEGA's quality and features. I don't need PIP or decent speakers in my set. I will use it for...

My dad has a set of Vintage JBL L212 loudspeakers in Mint Condition using with a vintage Kenwood KA-8100 Amp. He bought these new in 1978 for quite a deal of money at the time. They still sound phenomenal and I was wondering if anybody knew anything about these babies. I guess they were...

Out of curiosity I played the Monsters Inc teaser on the Toy Story 2 DVD just a while ago, and had to write about it. I put at reference and let it rip. That door knocking almost made me fall out of the couch. My system (all calibrated with no hot sub setting at all) nearly broke the house...

Is there any software / hardware out there that will let me hook up my SPL meter as a mic to my laptop and simply just read and plot my speaker FR for me without having to write it all down or type it in? Thanks, Troy

I've been following the house curve discussions, and sort of thought of an easy way to incorporate one. Now, this question requires a "general" answer, and is in no way thought to be looking for scientific fact. It seems intuitive that two facts are present: 1. House curve seems to me to be...

Ok gang. I'm no stranger to HT, and I'm no stranger to calibration with an SPL meter. I just want to share my thoughts about my recent purchase of Sound and Vision's Home Theater Set-up DVD changed my HT. I had used VE in the past, as well as THX optimode. The VE was with my old set-up, so...

Well guys, I have spent weeks trying to properly calibrate my mains, center, rear and new SVS sub. I kept tweaking, and repositioning, and just wasn't very satisfied. Even thought I got a perfect level match with my SPL meter, my left main seemed to be too loud, my center was weak, and the...

I can't figure out how to put a graph in here, so please bear with my figures. I would appreciate help with a solution to my bass woes. I have a 20-39CS+, and have tried 2 different corner placement options. These measurements are with one port plugged (doesn't really affect the overall FR...

I'm trying to determine the FR of my subwoofer's output to see if some EQing would be beneficial for me. I am confused on a couple issues, though. First, does anybody know of a Doby Digital or DTS formated test cd/dvd that may be available. I have a stereo bass mechanics test disc. Should...

My SVS arrived yesterday, and I had some time to tinker. Here are some notes and impressions - questions, too. SVS arrived well packaged. I mean Wow, nice packaging and care here. I put it behind my towers (which are 39 inches high), and the SVS was a few inches taller! I guess the 39 inch...

In my room I have two corner hutches in the back. I was planning on placing my rears on top, as they fit - snuggly. I have direct radiating Klipsch KG1s that I like very much, but have not tried them up this high before. The ceiling is 7 feet high, and the speakers go right up to there in...

Can somebody help me find a CD that will tell me what frequency each test tone is at? I have frequency sweeps, but they aren't very useful for measuring subwoofer response. What do you guys use to determine how loud your sub is at "x" frequency? Thanks, Troy

Please tell me I'm not crazy! Has anybody suspected a problem with the sub-out on their Denons? My 681 (same as 1601) just doesn't seem to have enough oomph in the sub out. I've ran my sub with a nice short y cable into my powered sub, and it just seem's weak. When I wire it directly into my...

Purchased from authorized dealer - have receipt. Will provide pictures, but condition is very good. Email me if interested at [email protected]. Would prefer local sale (you could demo it), but have original bag, box and packaging, so I could ship it at buyers expense. Tweeter still sells...
