When I was at Disney World (or land, whatever) there was a room where you put on headphones and closed your eyes and what you heard had a distinct front and back to it. Are there any headphones that would give you the 5.1 surround experience? The wife goes to bed at 10pm and I usually stay...
I got the OK from my CFO to purchace a dvd recorder for my computer. There still is a need to be frugal and to that end there is a dvd recorder at compusa for $220 that will do only dvd+R/+RW. Would this be compatible with my CP-72, or would you recommend getting a recorder that can also do...
Yes, A PR would be an option. I've already completed it though. I had a sheet of 1.5" mdf leftover and Friday night I put the whole thing together with a little finish work on Saturday. It's quite the cube at 16x16x20" (with feet), and it weighs in at 75lbs with everything in it. I haven't done...
That's exactly what I need. Thanks. Just one more thing, could someone tell me if my results from WinISD are correct? I seem to be getting different results today even though I'm using the same saved driver info. I get a box of 1.3cuft which is fine, but the vent seems different. Yesterday...
I've been trying to work up an enclosure for the Dayton MKII I just purchased and am having some trouble. WinIsd tells me that a 1.3cuft box will give the smoothest graph, but the vent length would be impossible. What I'd like to end-up with is the smallest volume that will get me to 28Hz or...
Sounds good, so far nobody's interested. It would be great to sell these local, south east Wisconsin. There would be no shipping that way. I know someone wants these, let's make a deal.
Got these a week ago and discovered they are a little to big, so up for sale they go. This was a OneCall.com purchase, BIG mistake. They do have a big selection and were very prompt about shipping, but when I called and politely asked about there return policy I was told, with a snooty...
Your right, I never thought I would be spending 2.5k on a TV. The only thing is the JBL's were listed as being shielded. I'd like to sell the JBL's in favor of smaller speakers but if these WERE shielded and they caused problems, what hope do I have of finding a set that won't cause...
To those of you with the wonderful Sony 40" XBR800 what speakers are you using and how far from the TV do they have to be? We accepted delivery on Friday, I setup my JBL n26II front and N-center and noticed greenish corners. The center was right ontop of the set and the n26's were on the...
Thanks all, as it turns out a local Bestbuy caries JBL. I hate BB and try never to go there, but for lunch we found ourselves near one so what the heck... You guys are right, the 26's sound quite a bit better than the 24's. I've gone over the edge, it's going to be JBL's. 28 front's and 24 rear...
I'm looking to put my first system together and I think it's come down to the JBL nsp1 or Fluance SX-htb. The only thing is the Fluance is on backorder for a month. Should I get the JBL or wait for Fluance? I'm leaning toward the SX-htb, I like the look better, but I don't want to wait. I...
yep, that's what I'm looking for...I've just started looking at systems. It's important that whatever I get be simple to operate, either by it's self or from some remote control macro (she is very hostile to technology if it doesn't work with just one button). I shudder to think of how my wife...
My wife and I have very different tastes when it comes to sound. Is there any receiver or system that would have a memory for where the bass is for example? When she wants to listen she would press a button and she would get her settings, another button would be mine. I'm starting from nothing...
I put together the parts list for the Audax HT system with stuff from PE, it came to about $625, then I took another look at Madisound and saw they had the whole kit with the x-overs assembled for the same price (doh). This looks like a very nice setup but could anyone recommend a system with...
Thanks for the suggestions, the Audax setup looks like it might work. A little big for the center speaker. When looking through the parts list for the x-over how critical is it to get the exact components? I'm looking through PE and one of the coils is listed to be 1.2mH 16AWG, PE only has it...
I'm new to the HT thing but I would like to build my own speakers. My thinking is for the price I can make better speakers than I can buy. I'd like to stay with a smalish size for the SAF, also cost is a factor. If I gather components slowly I could see spending 500 - 800 (not including the sub)...
