    Need help

    I have a hunting bud who's looking very closely at the Bose' CineMate system. Please help me come up with a resonable alternative that will prevent him from spending money on Blowse. He doesn't want to spend over $500 and doesn't want to buy a receiver. (Don't ask me why)

    Do I have to live with the Rattles?

    I watched ROTK tonight with my family. First movie with sustained bass that showed off the splendor of my PB1+. What a great movie for bass. The only problem is there were so many rattles it sometimes ruined the experience. Do I live with the rattles or is there something I can do to tame...

    Help me set the phase and PEQ on my PB1+

    I received my new PB1+ yesterday. I installed and calibrated it with my Radio Shack SPL meter using Avia. It is installed in a closed corner behind a love seat. (Not sure if the love seat is affecting it or not.) The low stuff is great, however the mid bass region is extremely lacking. There...

    SVS PB1 Plus SUCKS........

    the dollars right out of my Wallet. Just sprang for a PB1 Plus last night. My first sub, and from my time on this forum the question of which brand was never in doubt. I almost sprang for a cylnder TWO years ago, but the wife just wouldn't have it. When I saw the PB1 Plus on the SVS website I...

    SVS PB1 ISD "Plus"

    Tom/Ron, When, realistically, do you expect the "plus" version of your box sub to be available and is it worth waiting for or should I consider the current model? Thanks.

    Hsu Vtf3

    I've been reading some glowing reports about the HSU VTF3 and saw a post from Russel who has one........Anyone care to comment about this sub and potentially contrast it to an SVS? Been seriously thinking of getting one instead of an SVS because of the spouse and space factor.

    Digital Receiver Connections

    Does anyone know if there are any protocols running through the optical connections on receivers? I understand its audio, is it just an audio bitstream? There has to be something there controlling the bits from point a to point b.... Not even for an FCS? There has to be some error correcting...

    Onkyo 797 Connection to NuTone Intercom

    I hope this is the correct forum for this.... Has anyone ever connected their receiver to a NuTone intercom? I have an Onkyo 797 and a NuTone IM4003 whole house intercom I'd like to connect. The NuTone site says it can accept external input but there aren't any details. I'm assuming it...

    Speaker Brackets for JBLS36

    I'm looking for Wall mount brackets for my JBL S36 surrounds. Does anyone know what will/won't work? I've exhaustively searched the JBL site for information and can only find references to actually mounting the speakers directly to the wall. I'd prefer the directional capabilities of a...

    Why are Hitachi RPTV's so easily Ignored?

    Is it all in the brand or is there some hidden fact I over-looked while doing my research and comparison tests? It certainly isn't for lack of an excellent picture or features........ Seems everyone falls all over the Toshiba's and gives Sony far too much credit for its history in the direct...

    Simple Connection Question

    Ok, I've got a REALLY stupid question and I've read the manual without finding a clear answer. I just picked up an Onkyo 797 and am working on integrating it into my growing system. The issue I'm facing is getting TV audio to run through my HT speakers. What is the "normal" way to...

    Wideband Component Vs. "Regular" Component

    Ok guys, I know there is someone who can assist me. I "almost" purchased an Onkyo 787 on clearance. However, I'm now holding out until I get something cleared up. What is the difference between wideband and regular component inputs and outputs? Will regular component inputs and outputs not...

    Opinions on these JBL options...............

    I posted this in another thread on JBL but want a bigger response, so I'll post it on its own....... I had a chance to demo some stuff yesterday. Listened to the Bose stuff which sounded like crap. (I was in Best Buy so it was there). They had a nice JBL Demo space and I really liked the...

    Sunfire Vs. SVS

    I've been considering a Sunfire Woofer.....Probably the "True" model MkII. There seems to be a lot of SVS fans here and I've read good things about them as well. Has anyone ever A/B'd them? I like the size of the Sunfire model, and I"m sure the wife would appreciate it as well. Kind of torn...

    JBL Speakers

    Ok, I've been out of the Audio Scene for quite a while. I remember when Carver/NAD/Klipsh/Nakamichi and JBL were quite popular amongst audiophiles. I even had one of those Carver M400's. What is JBL's reputation currently? They seem to have a bunch of pretty low priced speakers out there...
