    Gona pull trigger on 1014 this week. Any reason I shouldn't?

    The 1014 looks a lot better in person, the pictures I have seen of it online make it look like the air ventilation is made of chicken wire or something, looks like junk when in fact it looks pretty nice in person

    VSX-1014tx Too big!!

    The 1014 is nothing, try a H/K AVR-7200 it is over 20" deep and weighs 72 lbs. I do like my 1014, it seems to have no trouble driving my M&K S-125s yet the AVR7200 would keep shutting down

    Metallica-Ride the Lighting review

    Leave out most of the newstead years. The only Metalica albums worth anything are "Kill 'Em All", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppets", and "And Justice For All". "St. Anger" is decent but needs more riffing and atleast a solo. The rest of their albums are worthless

    Would ANY M&K's do well for music?

    I'm running some older M&Ks, I have the S-125 L/C/R and SS-150 for the side surround with a SVS 16-46Pci and it works great for music.

    "Family" movies with under-the-radar gay Characters??

    Although it isn't a family film, check out Rope by Hitchcock. Although the actors were not told, their were a bunch of gay sexual inuendos written into the script which are completely obvious now.

    SVS Planning Full Range Speakers

    All I can say is do lots of research on crossover designs and networks and really do your homework on this part of the design. One cool concept which tends to keep most of the phase issues in check is what is refered to as an eliptical crossover which is basically what M&K has in their speakers...

    New AV Receiver Choices?

    Some of the new Marantz are up to par, particularly the AVR-7500. Also check out the Harman Kardon AVR-7200 which can be found used or refurbished for a good price or the soon to be released AVR-635. All of these should give a nice warm and musical sound

    Survey: Surrounds....What do you use?

    I Use M&K SS-150 which is a tri pole speaker that can be configured to be either tripole, direct radiating, dipole, or bipole. Right now I have them setup for dipole which seems to make the most difuse sound field

    What Subwoofer Does Everybody Have?

    SVS 16-46 PCi. If I get my wish when I get my house I will own an SVS B12-Plus/4 but this is only in my dreams at this point

    EQ settings for Sony DA4ES

    When I had it I did. It works quite well. I used an RTA and went channel by channel trying to get them as flat as possible and it sounded great. Midrange was smoother and everything else.

    Why front towers 3 ft from wall?

    There are 3 reasons for positioning speakers away from walls. 1) in order to limit the increase in SPL by wall loading the driver. Flatter response can usually be had by keeping the speaker from the wall 2) in order to not block the port on a ported loudspeaker 3) so that the soundwave...

    Ok, no holds barred, no price limit, what is the absolute best DVD player out there?

    Like others have said the Panasonic RP82, XP30, and XP50 still have about the best picture and are cheap compared to the esoterics. They have accurate MPEG decoders that do not suffer from the chroma bug, they do not suffer from macro blocking and they have a decent deinterlacer built in althow...

    Need some car stereo advice, especially about speakers (long)

    What is your price range? There are some real good values in the low end if you aren't too concerned over having a big brand.

    Harmon/Kardon AVR630 vs Denon 3805

    One thing to consider also is that the Denon has built in EQ. If you don't mind waiting the upcoming AVR635 supposedly will do auto EQ and channel setup as well

    SW Trilogy almost blew my tinimighty!!!

    That is some crazy level. My sub to produce reference levels is at about 1/4 on the plate amp and +0 on my receiver (this is on an SVS 16-46PCi). I haven't had a chance to listen to the trilogy yet because my receiver is in the shop but I can't wait to check it out

    Indoor Fm Antenna

    I am using my TV antenna (large channel master) and it pulls in every channel clearly. I know on amusicdirect website they have some around $100 that are supposed to be pretty good but I can't think of the brand off the top of my head.

    SVS owners.........

    I went with the 16-46 PCi at the time but now if I had it to do over and would have waited until they were available I would have gone with the PC Ultra. The 16-46 is awesome, it has very low group delay (which means it responds quickly and is good for music) and goes low. It will produce every...

    biamp vs. monobridge

    True anything less than 1% is inaudible and most people can't even tell the difference up to 3% distortion.

    Things I wish I would have done differently in my project

    Electrical. Can't skimp on a good electrical setup. If I had it to do over again I would do a dedicated 20 amp ballanced circuit with isolated ground for my amps. A 2nd 15 amp dedicated ballanced circuit with isolated ground for the rest of my components and then a 3rd circuit that would be...

    biamp vs. monobridge

    I always thought that bridging doubled power, halved the lowest impedance you could drive, increased the damping factor, and LOWERED distortion.

    Last Minute decision: Harman Kardon 7200 vs. Lexicon MC-1

    I got my AVR7200 for $700 from Harman Direct. They have a few AVR8000 every once in awhile as well

    Last Minute decision: Harman Kardon 7200 vs. Lexicon MC-1

    The 7200 does not do Logic 7 for 5.1 sources. To me this is not that big of a deal since I prefer the original mode anyways. If I had the money to go seperates I would but since I didn't, I went with a refurbished AVR7200 for an awesome price.
