I have an issue with my system. My Yamaha reciever sounds fine with the volume set at -55 for music and CD's. When I switch to the DVD I have to jack the volume up to -25 for normal viewing, and all the way to -14 or so for real effect. Anyone have any idea why this is so. Do I have an...

Just got my new (used) Hsu VTF-2 from a HTF member. It appears to be in good shape, but I cannot get it to work. I tried a subwoofer cable straight from the sub port (reciever) to the RCA port on the sub. Nothing. Not even a hum. I tried cables running from speaker output to sub, then...

I have narrowed my choice of rear speakers down a bit. Currently I am looking at the Boston Acoustics "Bravo" models as my #1 choice. They are $200 apiece, but sound good, are white, and fit in a corner spot I need to mount them in. The #2 choice is the Polk Atrium M45's. These too sound decent...

I just purchases a HSU-VTF-2 sub to handle the deep bass for my setup. I was going to add some small Boston Acoustic Bravo models as my rear channels (mainly because of size, although they sounded fine). Question I have is since I have a sub, can I ditch the large, utterly mediocre Bose 10.2...

I have a Sanyo DVD player that has been giving some problems. I notice some de-synch between the audio and video (most noticeble in "The Quiet Man", almost a 1/4 second video lag). I had it hooked up with standard RCA cables to my Yamaha reciever (Audio). Also tried running video straight to...

I was wondering where people pick up used plasmas and LCDs for HT use. My company sells them as B-stock on a weekly basis and want to see if it would be worthwhile to market into the HT community, or to whoever sells them off. All items are high end commercial gear, not so much the consumer...

Was looking for some small, nice sounding rear units for my HT, especially ones in white, that could fit in a corner. Found these units and they sounded pretty decent (very clean, no hiss, good highs and mids). Sounded quite a bit better than many of the more expensive units in the sound room...

Ok guys, I'm at a crossroads. I was planning on getting a pair of rear speakers this weekend to fill out my setup. I am wondering if I should also replace my mains. Up until now I have been using a set of Bose 10.2 (I know, I know, at least they were free) as my mains. They take up a big...

Put in a copy of "The Quiet Man" and the sound was at least 1 ahead of the video on the screen. Where do I go to adjust the settings so the audio and video are synchronized? Is it in the DVD menus, or in the reciever (or am I just hosed). Just briefly, the DVD audio feed goes to the...

Have seen these refurbished on Ebay for $400 or so, though I would post here first in case someone is trying to unload one for a bit less. I can arrange shipping (FEDEX pickup in the US)

Have been looking for a sub for my setup. I have considered the Hsu VTF-2, several Velodynes (especially the CT-100), the Boston Acoustics 10" sub, The Earthquake subs, and now the Sunfire True or the Sunfire True jr. Anyone have any opinion on the sound quality of these units. The tiny size...

Most subs can be hooked up 2 ways. There is an RCA plug un many recievers that is for low frequency effeact (LFE). This is a special output for the sub-woofer itself. It is a single output on a reciever, but is normally split with a "Y" splitter to the two sub inputs. It still only carries one...

Noticed this sub at Good Guys. I thought it sounded decent for a 10", looked very nice (cherry veneer finish rather than crude black board case), and it had the controls on the front (who'd a thunk it??). It also had a very small footprint which is a definite plus. At $1000 it seemed awfully...

Have seen offers for Velodyne CT-100's for $150 or so, CT-120's for about $250, and a CT-15 for $350. Also saw a VA-1210 for $300. Which one is the best deal. I plan on using it for 50%/50% music/movies

I saw some subs built into furniture at the following URL http://www.innovativeaudiousa.com/st/default.html Has anyone used them, and how do they sound

I have an old pair of BOSE 10.2 floor speakers that I have enjoyed for years. I thought something better may have come out since I bought them 10 years ago so I figured I would shop around a bit. Not looking to buy, just seeing where speakers have gone in the past decade. I checked out the...
