Sorry, not sure which forum I should post this in so I put it here. Please move it if necessary. I have the following I want to sell as a lot (complete 5.1 system): * a pair of Mirage OM-7 floor standing speakers in very good condition * a Mirage OM C2C-1 center speaker in very good condition...

Hi. I searched the forum for this sort of thing, but only found really old threads. So I'm asking again. I need a receiver for about $350. My setup is: computer > USB Sound Blaster HD (analog) > receiver > book shelf speakers & subwoofer. I only use 2.1 on this, but I need it to play loud...

Hi. I use an old (16 years?) Denon AVR 8303 receiver with my computer. It's always worked fine for me. But recently there's been a lot of humming coming from the speakers, especially when I turn up the volume. Is this the receiver? Is it going bad? Thanks.

Hi. I thought I already posted this, but I can't find the thread now so I'm posting again. I listen to all my music on my PC. I have a nice external USB sound card and currently run that into a receiver. My subwoofer (with its own amp) is hooked up to the receiver. I want to build my own...

Hi. I'm wondering how to get a stereo tube amplifier to work with a powered subwoofer. There's a couple of tube amplifiers I'm interested in, but I don't know how to get my subwoofer working with it. The basic setup is this: PC sound card to amplifier (to subwoofer how?). Currently I use a...

How do you use a subwoofer with a stereo amp?

Hi, I have two B&W 685's and an as of yet purchased sub that I want to use with my computer. I need a suitable, good quality amp or receiver (nothing over $1000) to match. All I need is an optical-in and a subwoofer port. Suggestions?

I'll apologize beforehand because this has to have been asked already, but my searches didn't come up with anything. I have a Samsung 56" DLP from 2002 that has a DVI input. I'm thinking about getting a blu-ray player, but I'm not sure if it will work with my TV, at least through the DVI...

The TJs have this dinky little subwoofer in the center console. Mine died (my wrangler is a trail rig which sees much abuse) so I'm going to replace it and the dinky little amp that powers it. There seems to be, however, way more wires coming over to this thing than I need and I'm not sure which...

I have two of these that I'm thinking of selling. They're in great shape. How much should I ask for?

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Please move it if I erred... I currently have a PC with an Audigy2. It's hooked up to a 2 channel Harman Kardon amp that drives two JBL E50s. I have a cable with a 1/8" stereo plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other end going from the...

wow. wow. wow. wow.

Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to some very nice speakers (won't name brands) running on a $1000+ CD player, $4000 pre/amp combo, and wired together with $300 speaker cables. I was somewhat surprised to discover that I liked my comparatively humble setup much better. I have Mirage...

DVDO iScan HD Is this thing also a line doubler? How would it work with a HTPC? Is it really as kick ass as it's made out to be?

I'd like to know what a VGA to Video Component Converter does that a VGA to Component Cable doesn't. Where/why would you use one vs. the other? I'd like to get a clue about these things. Thanks.

I know the cost of finishing your basement will vary greatly depending on a bajillion things, but, being a noob at this, I have no idea how to even go about getting a ball park figure. The basement area is 19' x 29' x 8'. It's totally bare right now. There are two small windows and one door...

I've been debating buying an uppity expensive DVD player to get really good PQ, but then realized I could build an HTPC for much less, especially considering I already have most of the parts needed. Here's what I have: AMD 1700+ & Motherboard 512 MB RAM 250 GB HD Audigy2 sound card...

Just sharing: http://www.nineshadoweyes.com/module...bnails&album=6 I helped him out with the speakers and the flexy rack. Still need a sub. His gear: http://www.nineshadoweyes.com/module...rder=0&thold=0

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=302-932 Are these pretty good speakers? What kind of commercial speakers would they compare to? Thanks.

Just curious. What are the truly great Money-No-Object DVD players?

Which one is better? Why? Thanks.

Does anyone know why this model down converts 720p to 480p? It will take 720p, but for some reason it downconverts to 720p. Is that normal for a CRT rear projection? Any comments on this? Also, is it true that you can have your HD cable box spit out either 720p or 1080i? Or is it one or the...

Ok, a pal of mine just got a 46WT510 and we're wondering what kind of DVD player to get for it. This TV has a deinterlacer (not sure if it's the DRC, Cinemotion, or the MID X) so I'm thinking he can use his old non-progressive DVD player and let the TV do the deinterlacing. Good option for him...

Requisites: 1. Kick ass PQ 2. Faroudja or Silicon Image DVI preferred, but not required. Upconversion considered, but not required. Around $300. The TV is a Sony KP-46WT510. I was wondering if I could get some Top 5 lists or suggested models, etc. Thanks.

I'm really very curious to find out how low the bass on a particular song is, but I have no way of finding out myself. The song is the Xylem Flow mix of William Orbit's Water From A Vine Leaf. I'd never heard the low bass on this song until I got a subwoofer. I mean, it's non-existent on a...

Here's the room- It's about 12' wide by 20' long. The right wall is hardly there at all. It's a big opening into a hallway. The opening goes from floor to ceiling. Two windows in the back. I'll have 4 surround speakers, two for the rear, two for the sides. I have spots for 3 of those...

Wasn't sure where to put this because there are speakers, a sub, an amp, and a PC involved. I opted for here because my question is basically about a subwoofer. Please move this if I erred. I have a PC setup like so: 2 JBL S38IIs 1 Harman Kardon PA2000 amp 1 PC with SoundBlaster Audigy 2...

So these are pretty good speakers then? Onyx Reference 3

Please suggest good projectors costing up to $5000. It would go in a large great room where light control is available, but not complete. The room is roughly 30'x30'x18' with many openings to other rooms, halls, etc. One side (left) is open to kitchen. NOT my place (I wish). Also what about...

Just curious. Cost is about the same. Assuming space or aesthetics is not an issue, will two PC-Ultras perform about the same as one PB2-Ultra or do you think there will be a significant difference?
