I am pretty sure the Kleiss is factory direct also, so not sure whay SVS has not been included by this and other major mags. I know I would be interested in seeing some though!

The subs reviewed in this article are (part 1) Revel Performa B15, Wilson Audio Watch Dog, Kleiss S15A, Genelec HTS6, (part 2) Adire Sadhara, Bag End S21E, ServoDrive ContraBass, SRT HydroSonic HS-12S, and part 3 will add (i believe) a Snell ICS Sub24, Velodyne DD-18, and 2 others which I am...

I agree that attacking a group of people is not a good thing, nor politically correct, I am not sure I would be offended being called a rabid fan or member of a pack, however. I hope he is being admonished for the reference to "rabid, pack mentality", and not for "Don't limit yourself to...

Good to know. Do you know if this works on the S-video in/out, and not just composite?

Are there any Home Theater receivers or processors out that include the venerable, old “tape loop” function? I’m referring to the ability on older stereo equipment to select a source for recording out to the tape outputs, but still allow you to choose to listen to a different source while the...

Thanks for the link Greg, that was one of the few pieces of info I was able to find. Still hoping to learn more about this unit, if anyone can provide info or relay on what WSR had to say about it in their review from the March 1999 issue. Nick, it actually was $5500, from what I have been...

I have an opportunity to purchase a used Faroudja LD1000 laserdisc player, but it does not have a manual, nor can I locate any information about it on the web. Can anyone provide any information about the unit to let me know what made it cost $5000 when new (aside from the Faroudja name)? Did it...

This question refers to any HT receiver that does not have jumpers or switches to disable the input to the internal amplifiers. Most HT receivers above a certain price range have pre-outs. Some have inputs to the amplifier stages, most probably don't, however. I would guess that most do not...

Thanks everyone for the comments and recommendations. Zack, you wrote:

Edward, that response curve you show is pretty decent, I will definitely have to consider SVS. Kevin, would you mind telling me where you got your HGS-15 from, and how much it cost? You can e-mail me the response, if you'd rather not post it in the forum. Chris, I'll have to check out the...

Thanks for the responses. When I say "TRUE" subwoofer, I am speaking of one capable of playing down to 20 Hz. and below. There are a lot of so called subs out there that are only rated down to in the 30 - 40 Hz. range, and I don't consider those to be real, true subwoofers. Nick, thanks...

I am new to the whole subwoofer shopping experience, and trying to make heads or tails out of the current offerings, and am in need of some guidance from those who know more than I. I am of the opinion that a subwoofer should play down to 20 Hz. minimum, and actually should extend below...

Ok, my original reply was in error. It IS a WS transfer, but what threw me is the fact that my DVD player (Panasonic RP-82) somehow defaulted to "zooming in" on the disc, and thus my usual method of letting the TV handle the letterboxing, did not work as expected, and as it always has in the...

Forgot to ask you Chris, what date of manufacture is your RP82? Have you checked the firmware level yet? Update on mine, it is now showing as being on the truck for delivery, so mine should get here today! :)

Congrats Chris! Keep us posted, and you got the one I wanted it seems. Hopefully I will have simply gotten a returned unit that is fully intact and healthy. Mine will either be here today, or tomorrow. FedEx tracking says it made it to my City, but does not say if it is on the truck or not...

I was lucky and got one of the open box units also, although it looks like Chris got the one I wanted (torn box, but not a returned unit). I specifically told them that I did NOT want the one that had small nicks on the top of the faceplate, so when it arrives, I guess I will see if they...

Everything I have read about the 1600 claims it to be based on the 82, not the 62. Which is correct?

I have called Panasonic distribution, and spoken with someone in their Chicago area office, and was told that the RP82 was discontinued as of January 1, 2003. They are recommending the CP72 to those people wishing to get an RP82. They have NO RP82s available in the US, and according to the...

I read this over at the AVS forum, and found this to be an interesting point.
