I think an HD-capable set would be great but I’m concerned that they would be to cumbersome for her to use. Are there HD-capable sets that are simple to operate?
The set she is replacing is about 30” or so. She does not have a particular budget in mind. She is willing to pay for the convenience of being able to watch what she wants, when she wants.
My Mother-in-law has an old TV that resets itself whenever there is a power failure. Even if the power just flashes. Her cable box needs to have the TV on channel 4 but the TV resets to channel 2 and does not know that there any other channels. When this happens, I have to go over and reset her...
I tried to look at the Stryke tweeter, but their site seems to be under construction or something. All I could see was subwoofers. All the other pages could not be found. How do your new speakers sound?
I am getting ready to design a set of 3 way speakers and I would like your input as to driver selection. I know that there are great sounding drivers out there for big dollars, but I am more interested in the mid priced drivers. What are your recommendations for the most musical tweeter for...
So what wiring would you suggest? I have been using North Creek Music’s suggestion of Tef-Flex AG for tweeter and midrange and Lex 10 AWG OFHC for woofers.
I was thinking about using Goertz MI cable as the internal wiring for my next set of speakers. Has anyone done this? If so, did it make a difference and was it worth the money? What wire do you recommend for internal wiring?
I enjoy building things. Lately it has been speakers that have gotten my attention. I think I enjoy building the speakers more than using the speakers. There is a large sense of satisfaction when you get to look at (and listen to) the final product. I was wondering, of all the speakers you...
I am planning on building a pair of Ariels very soon. Since it will only be marginally more difficult to build two pair of speaker boxes rather than one, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing a set. This would be speaker boxes only. If so, I will make two.
This has only happened twice. The sub was putting out no sound and the LCD on the receiver got dim. When I turned it off and back on it started working correctly. I was not pushing it hard either time this happened.
I would suggest the Audax Home Theater System designed by Joseph D’Appolito. I have completed the center channel and I am very pleased with it. I am still building the left and right speakers. Here is a write-up on the center channel.
Their website is being changed right now. The DIY section is under construction at the moment. Hopefully they will have it up soon. Here is a link to a good reference about building the center channel speaker.
You need a circle cutting jig and a router to be able to flush mount your drivers. You can make a circle cutting jig yourself but if you are going to be cutting many different sized holes it may be worth it to buy one. I purchased the Jasper model 400Here. It will allow your router to cut...
I have built the Audax home theater center channel speaker and I am in the process of building the boxes for the left and right speakers now. I have veneered the back and sides for the center channel. Trimming the veneer with a laminate trimming bit was no problem for the outside edges and the...
