Am I correct in saying that 2 smaller subs can potentially give you the same and or better audio experience then 1 large sub due to the ability to place subs in better strategic places and the compound effect of two lower frequecies versus the one. How difficult is calibrating 2 subs I know...

Lets say prices are equal in subs (2 smalls = 1 large sub) would there be a any advantage to have two smaller subs that may not reach as low sonically as one larger sub. The use of the sub/subs would be used for movies and music equally. I am just curious if anyone has tried this or if there...

I am one of those crazy Northerners that did not want to get into any cross border hassles and I must admit I am siginifcantly interested in having SVS subs and speakers lauched out of the True North. I have been waiting to buy a sub for a while now not sure which way to go and I must admit I...

Adam that is part of my concern. Not sure if I should invest in whole house revamp or just do a local home theatre and forget the whole home controller. I am curious about how good a system it is and how cost and or labour intensive it may be. Any input would be appreciated. Cheers Travis.

I have recently purchased a home and I am in need of upgrading the whole house with the intent of building a home theatre in the basement. I am curious of anyones impressions on this remote system. A few things I would like some feedback on is.... 1. Ease of use/ Setting up 2. Battery life...

Tom are you running them with LINN Ninka's or another kind of LINN speaker. I am curious because I have a pair of Ninka's and I am in need of improving them from my Pioneer Receiver. I would like to just dedicate them for music at some time and I am curious what you find goes well with the...

Richard Ihave a Sony KDF-42WE610 or something similar to that and I'm not sure if same technology is applicable to both televisions but anyway I also had a Green Hue or what I learned later as a Green Ghost. I noticed it in the corner of the TV and then it seemed to spread. It was quite...

Here's a different perspective... I have a different centre channel them my mains and I have different rears then my mains and centre. I have found that it works amazing. This goes against the main stream thought but it is one to ponder. I believe that if you have an exellent centre speaker...

I agree with Elinor. I have taken my time purchasing my speakers and found I have eliminated the WHAT IF question. Doesn't mean I won't change my mind down the road but I have the speakers that I enjoy and have no regrets putting the money I have in them. I also feel the main speakers are the...

Andrew thanks for the heads up on the Activ system sound. My dealer suggested I don't listen to an Activ system unless I am seriously having upgraditis. I'm not sure if that is just a marketing technique to make me think they sound so much more amazing Activ but it seems from what I have read it...

Update: Well my journey is still going on my TV. First I had the repair shop pick it up and they fixed a Toonie (2 dollar coin) size blotch on the screen but they proceded to tell me that the Green Ghosting in the bottom right was an exceptable flaw of the Television which I said is a load of...

Kaj Congratulations on the LINN's. I've had a pair of black monolithic beautiful Ninka's for over a year with my crappy Pioneer VSX D-850s receiver (which will be upgraded soon) and I absolutely love them. As you point out it does present like there is a centre speaker at times. Their clarity...

I have the 42 inch version of this model and have had Green Ghosting problems almost from day one. A major portion in my bottom right corner is green and spills over into movie watching when dark scenes arrive. I have sent it for repairs and the repair company said Sony accepts this as an...

Something not mentioned is LINN. Made in Scotland, I think a guy named Mac Donlald made my speakers. They stamp their name on the back of the speakers because only one person works on each speaker. No assembly line stuff. Anyway they don't seem to get much love on this forum. I whole heartedly...

Update on my Green Ghost. I contacted my dealer and they set me up with the T.V. repair guys. I contacted them and they set up a time to come by and see the T.V. The repair man came in identified the Green Ghost wrote down the serial number and told me that the Green Ghost is an accepted...

Thanks Parker, Mary M S and Danny. I am contacting dealer ASAP and I'm probably going to get the AVIA disc to check the tv as described above. I'm also going to contact Sony Canada and see what they have to say. It appears it can be a blue or even a purple 'ghost' at times. I am quite...

Parker: My main speakers are 3ft away from the side of the TV bilateraly. I have a magnetically shielded centre speaker infront of the TV but I've been told that that shouldn't be a problem. I haven't tried using the AVIA or DVE to see if I have a problem with the lower right corner. Will...

I recently bumped a similar post regarding this phenomenon and I was wondering if anybody who has one has had this problem and if they did what did they do to resolve it. Details. When there is a total black screen there is a Green Hue in the Bottom Right corner of the Screen. The TV is only...

Hello Claus. I have recently purchased a 42" Sony Grand Wega LCD (one month ago) and I am noticing the EXACT same green discolouration in my bottom right corner. I as well do not have any unshielded speakers near the TV. I am curious if you have found out anything since your post. If anybody...

I purchased a plastic wire cover that adheres to the wall from RONA which is paintable so you can blend it in with your wall. It came in 5ft lengths I believe and you can cut it to the length you wanted. I cannot remember the price but it wasn't too expensive. It also could be set into 90 degree...

Hello Chris I see you are full throttle on getting your system going but I'll throw my 2 cents in on how I am working my HT set up. Basically I'm being very patient and instead of upgrading constantly I'm buying one set of speakers per year. For example I bought a good receiver with what...

What if an aluminum bat is used that was lighter then the wood bats?:)

Thanks for your help I will look into it. Travis R.

Hello I've been looking for a sub and I as well live in Ottawa and the general consensus on this forum is SVS is THE SUB to own. So I have looked at the differnt models read lots of threads about the sub and I am considering the SVS PB2+. Now my concern is the price due to the exchange shipping...

I was wondering if there is such a thing as flat RCA cables that you can paint because my friend is unable to hide his cables for his subwoofer and wants to make them as inconspicuous as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers. Travis R.

It Totally Deserved every Statue. It's sad that it is over.

Hello Daniel, check out a thread on January 22, 2004 by DaveD called "Proper Speaker break in". The thread explores the Myth of speaker break and some good links to extra info. I would put a link to it but I don't know how. I found it most informative. Cheers Travis R.

Everybody above thanks for your input. My wife likes the sleekness of the cylinder sub and as we (husbands/boyfriends) know that if the wife isn't happy I'm not happy and getting her on my side for a sub is a bonus plus she had the cats before I came along so I think I just edge ahead of...

I was just wondering if there has been any problems with cats stratching the material on the cylinder subs. It appears to me that cats would love to sharpen their claws on it but I was wondering if anybody has had problems. I have 2 cats and am considering a SVS. Thanks for your input...

Hello Garret, basically sound is a bunch of frequencies that the human ear picks up and translates to the brain what these frequencies are. You have an outer, middle and inner ear. The ear drum is inside your middle ear and is controlled by a mechanism (hammer, anvil and stapes) that adjusts the...
