I received my copy from Tower Records a day early. I'm very happy. I don't know how many of you are fond of Opeth, but this is their best album yet. Damnation was great, but a one-of type album. Though the mellow tracks on this album outdo some songs on Damnation. Mikael Akerfeldt puts...

Porcupine Tree just reissued their 1993 album Up The Downstair in a 2CD DigiPak edition. The album is scheduled to release in the US in June. I couldn't wait that long, so I imported. We can use this thread for discussion of the album, if anyone cares to, that is. It'll be interesting to see how...

I tried searching to no real avail. I'd like to start listing my CD collection on an Intenet site. I have found a few. Like Guzzlefish.com but I don't really need all that info and half the CD's I own aren't even listed there and I don't want to go through the rig-a-maroo of posting them...

It's been a while since I been around these parts. Would the OM-9's and the Omni CB center channel blend well? They both use identical tweeters and woofers, and both are omnipolar, but of course they use two different configurations to achieve that. My room is small, so I suspect my center...

I may just be the first person that feels unsatisfied. But perhaps I'm not doing something correctly. My 25-31PCi came in last Friday. I set it up on Saturday and have been toying with it since. I do not yet have an SPL meter, so my concern right now is not how the sub interacts with my other...

My sub left Girard, OH at 9:00 p.m. Mar 1. It arrived in Middleburg Hights, OH at 10:54 p.m. Mar 1. And now, nothing. It supposedly hasn't done a thing since then. Should I be concerned or are these fools forgetting to scan it in and out?

To the SVS experts around here...there seem to be many. :) I'm ordering tonight! Hopefully. I would like to get the 25-31PCi tuned to 22Hz. During the online ordering process, will that be an option? Or do I need to order a different way? Thanks, Lee

We all probably already knew Nintendo was very odd, but in two recent interviews, former Nintendo president and the current president have me scratching my head. The excerpts in question are: Former President I hope they listen. They need to go to IGN.com. IGN posted E-mails from gaming...

Hey everyone, My question is fairly simple. I will be purchasing an SVS (Yay!) real soon. Like probably the last few days of this month! My budget will only allow for one of the two sub-$600 subs. I was originally thinking of just getting the 25-31PCi, but now I'm wondering if the extra $50...

Just kidding, but get a load of this.... Microsoft 5.1 System

I'm taking it that not all Bannana Plugs are created equal? I had some Radio Shack plugs that were for larger speaker wire that fit in the back of my Yamaha receiver just fine. But when I stepped down to smaller speaker wire and placed Monster Cable's Dual Bannana Plugs on the wire, it won't...

Hey everyone, Does anyone have the link handy to that database that lists games for each system and denotes any video/surround formats. It was posted on this site probably a year ago or so. Anyhow, I've lost my links and unfortunately, I can't even remember what this web site was called. But...

Wasn't sure quite where to post the following question, but it pertains to speaker stands, so... Has anyone purchased something from hi-fi for less? I was thinking of purchasing some speaker stands there. Thanks, Lee

Merry Xmas, Well, I've had my Yammie for about 6 months now (RX-V640) and love it. I finally got around to getting comp cables for my PS2. Started hooking it up today since I was hooking up my spanking new OMNI 60's (lovely pieces). I cannot get picture from the PS2 at all. First, I went and...

I made a speaker purchase today! :D The sad thing is, I won't get to open them till Xmas. My dad chipped in a majority portion as a Xmas gift. Anyhow, I had received help here on several occasions and actually ended up with a set of speakers I really wrote off a while back because of the price...

Hey everyone, I've been racking my brain and confusing my ears for a while now. My original plan was to slowly piece together a speaker package because my funds are very slow coming. But the more I think about it, the more I think I should just save money to get an entire package all at once...

Generally speaking, would a ported 5 1/4" (or 5 1/2") bookshelf speaker bass approximately as hard as a sealed 6 1/2" bookshelf speaker? I know the quality of the speaker, yada yada are key. But just as a rule of thumb. Thanks, Lee

Hey everyone, I have a Yamaha RX-V640 reciever. I'm hunting and pecking my way through a ton of speaker options and one utilizes B&W speakers. The DM601 S3's for the most part. They are rated at 8-ohm's nominal, but I see they can drop to 3-Ohm. Should I pass on these or would the Yamaha be...

Why do we have rear ports? It seems to me that the vast majority of people will have to set their speakers up rather close to the wall, like myself. I'm looking at Axiom M22ti's for my mains and I'll only have roughly 11" of freedom around back. Do the axioms have a recommended distance? I...

I hooked up my cousin's surround setup today. Sony 46" HDTV Yamaha RX-V730 Sony DVD/VCR Combo Cable box Polk RTI's all the way around I can't get any video stuff going at all. I have monitor out from the receiver to the comp video in on the TV. Then I had the coaxial cable for digital...

Is there any info or at least a press release on the new RTI's? I've seen the pics and they look sexy. Thanks, Lee

I'm a bit unsure of myself on this one. I have three video products: DVD player Playstation 2 GameCube Two of the three will use componenet cables and the third will use S-Video. My plan was to run componenet video from the monitor out to my TV and then just hook everything else up to...

Hey all, The subject line doesn't sound quite like it looks. :) I bought a Yamaha RX-V640 at Tweeter in late June. I believe I have 120 days where I can return it and get something of equal or greater value. Well, they are trying to push out thier remaining RX-V1300 stock and I can get one...

Hey everyone, How much do Paradigm Legend's cost in US dollars? Is there anything I should be particularly worried about with this speaker? I'm roughly 70% movies/games and 30% music. Thanks! Lee

How do you guys and gals do it? I cannot narrow my speaker search down at all. I go out and come back with even more options every time. I cannot even decide if I want bookshelves or floorstanders for mains. I'm pretty used to floorstanders, I've had some three-way Cerwin Vega's since I...

I lost all of my favorites this past weekend. :frowning: I need some help finding links to sites that review audio equipment, looking for speaker reviews mainly. I got Home Theater Mag, Stereophile, and Home Theater HiFi, any one have some others? There was another link I had to a site that was...

Hello all, I'm beginning my speaker research phaze and there are quite a few options on the table at the moment. But, I have one question for the time being. Does anyone own or has anyone heard an Athena setup with the AS-C1 as the left and right speakers? I like what I have heard thus far...

Hello all, I'm looking into getting a DVD player. Yes, I'm still in the stone age. Is the Pioneer DV-363-K brand new? I can't find any reviews on it. I'm thinking this is the machine for me. Here's my situation: My main HT use is for gaming. I don't have an HDTV yet, so Progressive is...

Hey guys and gals, I am clueless when it comes to speakers. I would appreciate it if any number of people would throw a few options on the table for me. What I Have Now Sony 27" Trinitron WEGA TV Yamaha RX-V640 Receiver What I'm Currently After DVD-Player All Speakers What...

Hey all, I just recently replaced my old receiver, but, perhaps I can fix the old bag receiver and maybe make a little cash. ;) It's a Pioneer VSX-604, roughly ten years old. Anyhow, I went to turn it on a few months back and it clicks, but nothing happens. The display doesn't light up or...
