    Weird RCA to speaker connection for multi room setup

    I recently moved into a new/used home and the in wall multi room speaker configuration jacks are unlike anything I've seen before. What it looks like the previous owner/installer did was, inside the wall from the speaker wires to the wall jack, run a positive wire to the signal side of the rca...

    Chimney infinite baffle

    As I sit bored at work, I am wondering if it would be possible to mount a subwoofer (or multiple) in your chimney that would act as an infinite baffle? When you think about it, your chimney is better braced than any enclosure would ever be and the air requirements well, are pretty much infinite...

    Taking measurements

    Call me new, but I was wondering what all of you use to take measurements of your speakers and room responses? I read about this stuff all the time in here and I want in. Just finished my first set of speakers and have three more projects on the way, so I wouldn't mind taking measurements on how...

    Wacky bi-amping odyssey and parasound

    Bored out of my mind at work I came up with another possible configuration that might or might not work. What would the effects/consequences be if I were to bi-amp my studio 80's by running the mid and low end with the odyssey stratos (1 channel to each speaker) and then running the tweeters (1...

    Paradigm and Yamaha

    I recently saw a post that stated Paradigm studios and yamaha receivers make a bright combo. I have studio 80's and a yamaha 595 and have noticed a little bit of some unwanted brightness at higher volumes. It's unbearable at times. However, I just hooked up a new Odyssey amp for the two...

    Pre/Pro now or later?

    I need some convincing on whether or not I should wait a couple of months to buy a new pre/pro or just go for it and buy one now. I'm not really sure what anthem, b&k, tag mclaren, and the others are doing in R&D but I haven't heard much. I'm on the Outlaw waiting list but who the #*%$ knows...

    front soundstage situation

    Okay here's the situation. I'm getting my odyssey stratos amp today (stereo) and that's great. However, I've come to another mind bending situation. I've been reading posts about keeping the front soundstage the same when talking about amps and home theater. That's understandable but I don't...

    Necessary amplification for surrounds

    I am converting a 22' x 18' room into a home theater and want to know if I need a 5 channel amp with a super high power rating. Rooms pretty big. Being a guy I would love to have 150+ watts per channel but can't justify to myself spending over 700-800 on surround amplification. I was looking...
