    Recommended speakers for a bright room

    May be more than you want to spend, but look at VMPS entry level stuff. They are user adjustable to compensate for room changes. They sound incredible IMO. Dealers can work with you on pricing. Depending on your location, there's a list of owners who volunteered to let folks listen at their...

    6ch vs digital bass help, Can't get it right

    John,Nathan, Thanks for the quick replies. +10 on the 2200 and -5 on the AVR AFTER all speakers were switched to small did the trick. Brian, Thanks for the tutorial. Very informative (wish I had found it when I was searching :b ) Kinda a pity to run my speakers "small" since f3 is 20Hz. May...

    Wanted: REALLY BRIGHT Sounding Speakers

    What's the room like? Heavy drapes, carpeting, low ceiling or hardwoods, windows, fireplace? This will have a HUGE impact on how your speakers sound. Highly reflective rooms will sound bright, and of course the inverse is true. Also placement. If the speakers are near the back wall, try...

    Help.. Subs cause DVDs to skip

    Yesterday I added a pair of home-built ACI subs which cause my dvd player to skip on low passages (pod race, matrix helicopter crash, etc). I'm thinking of adding spikes to my stereo cabinet and maybe putting a couple of steel plates on the DVD player. Would it still vibrate/skip internally...
