I just hooked up my M&K K7 left, center and right speakers and my SVS 25-31PCi sub to my Pioneer Elite VSX-45tx. This is all new equipment I have acquired inthe past few weeks. After hooking everything up, the M&K speakers sound great. I haven't done any calibration yet. One reason for me to...

I visited my local hifi dealer the other week and got some of the worst customer service in my life. I ended up visitng their website and saw they had a "customer feedback form". For fun, I filled it out with my customer complaint. Amazingly, the next day i received an email from the store...

I need to run speaker cable around the outside of my house then back into my house for ceiling mounted speakers. I have been told to run burial cable since it is weatherproof and will work for speaker cable. All burial cable I've seen is black in color. This won't work for me as it won't...

I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-45tx and have no idea what type of banana plugs to get. I've read all types of reports saying that some banana plugs are incompatible with certain receivers. Surely someone must have a Pioneer Elite receiver that can tell me from experience which banana plugs to...

I need to mount 6 lbs speakers from the ceiling but hte position may be such that there is no ceiling joint to attach the ceiling mount to. I was thinking of using Omnimount ceiling mounts since they are inexpensive compared to other mounts I"ve seen. However, I'm not sure with this ceiling...

I'm going to be running cable for my rear surround speakers. Since my townhouse has no crawlspace underneath, and no attic, the easiest way is for me to run a cable around the exterior then back into my townhouse on the other side (I am an end unit). I can tuck the speaker wire nicely...

Not being a handyman myself, I want to hire someone to run speaker wire for my rear surround speakers. I want to ceiling mount a pair of M&K K4 tripoles for the rear. (I am also considering in-walls as well, but I have another thread started on that topic). Question is generally who should I...

I was going to get teh M&K K7 for my front stage (Left,center,right) and M&K K4 tripoles for the rear surrounds. I have heard this combination and have been blown away by the sound. I was goign to ceiling mount the K4 tripoles since my room shape is so weird. (Here is a link to an...

If you put a sub right next to a couch, is it going to be a problem for the person sitting on that side of the couch? Assume that the sub is properly calibrated.

Just wondering people's opinion of Denon 3803 vs. Pioneer Elite 43tx. They are about $100-$125 difference in price when you factor in the 3803 deal at 6ave.com. One attractive feature for me is that I've read that with the Pioneer 43tx you are able to rename the sources, instead of...

I'm probably going to be getting an M&K 5 speaker setup -- K7 for L+C+R and K4 for surrounds. If I don't go with M&K, I would be going with the Definitive Technologies Procinema setup. For subwoofer, I would likely get either an SVS, velodyne or Hsu. What is the best receiver for these...

Just wondering how you all feel about buying from non-authorized dealers. I know that when buying from authorized dealers, you are getting the piece of mind of warranty, but in the cash or certain products, like refurbished receivers, the warranty from authorized dealers vs. non-authorized is...

I have a room that is 20x14x8, but has an adjoining kitchen and hallway that makes the effective area a bit larger than that. How big of a sub should I be looking atg for this room? Was going to look at getting the SVS 25-31Pci, but it's cynlindrical shape and height may create a problem for...

I have a Sony KF50WE610 (50" GWIII LCD RPTV) which is placed in the corner of my room creating a pocket behind the TV where I could place a sub. This would be ideal for the whole "wife acceptance factor" since the sub would be out of sight completely. A sub like the SVS 25-32Pci would fit...

I have a room that is 20'x14'x8' for my home theatre that is split into 2 with a couch. half the room is my HT and other half is my eating area. I was originally looking for a very small satellite set, but it looks like I can go a bigger since there is room on either size of hte TV for...

I was originally in the market for a compact satellite 5.1 setup for my home theatre, but it turns out that I have enough room for larger speakers. The fronts could be as big as 12" high adn 5" wide. The rears need to be as small since they will be on stands behind my couch which is near a main...

I going to be buying a Sony GWIII LCD RPTV in the next month or so, after which I will want to buy some better speakers and an amp/receiver. I am a geek at heart and need to research everything to death. You don't want to know how much research I've done so far to decide on my TV :P I was...
