Hello, I'm helping a friend of mine setup a HT. He's on a tight budget of around 500 or so. With that in mind, I was thinking about recommending starting off w/ a stereo pair in front and using a phantom center, a sub, and a receiver. I have a pair of surrounds on stands and an old DVD player...

Yea, post over at av123 Joe. I posted and had an audition within 24 hours or something like that.

Just an update: she ended up getting the Rocket 750's. Picked up a pair of B-stock ones for HALF PRICE. Talk about an insanely good deal. Now she can afford to get an SVS and other toys with the same budget that the Paradigms would have cost her. Anyhow, here's a link to the thread at av123...

Thanks Mark! I have set up an audition with one of the av123 forum members for this evening. Looking forward to hearing the 750's :). Oh, and nice email btw ;).

Alex, Thanks for the suggestion, I just posted a similar thread over at av123. I'll look into the Sevenfeet and Wizardfire reviews as well. Mike, She's looking for towers. Think of it as a WAF thing, only it's her that is particular on looks... although after last weekend, she is...

Hey everyone, my old roommate is going through withdrawal now that she's not living with my SVS and Axioms :D. We've been auditioning speakers for a couple weeks and have looked at tons of stuff from Enegery C-9's, Veritas, Paradigm Studio 100s, NHT towers, Def Techs and Martin Logans. I...

I have found myself helping yet another person with their audio questions. This time instead of a dance studio, a friend of mine is interested in a pair of tower speakers for a stereo setup. With a budget of roughly $1000-1200 what would y'all suggest? Oh yes, aesthetics are very important for...

Wayne, I love it, smiley-face audio experts :emoji_thumbsup:. I was one of those when I was younger :b. Are PE's hard to setup? I understand how a regular EQ works just fine, but haven't seen a PE before. They also have a Denon CD player with pitch adjustment, which should be functional, but...

Thanks a lot guys! I feel like I understand what needs to be done now, but if I have any more questions I know where to ask :).

Leo, what about the Tascam CD-302 v4? I don't think they need a tape deck at all. I've never seen anyone at the studio use tapes before. I saw the 302 online for ~$700, and if there's a budget of $2,500 to improve the sound quality, it fits in quite nicely since the speakers/amp don't need to be...

Seth, how would you suggest mounting the speakers without stands? The wall they need to be against has mirrors along it, so they could only be wall mounted about 10+ feet high. What about hanging them some how from the ceiling? I've only mounted surround speakers for a ht before, so mounting...

Wow, thanks so much for all your input! I had no idea that going to a hi-fi store was a bad idea. I know they do custom theater installs and stuff like that, so I figured they'd be capable of something on this sort of scale. Yea, the speakers were going to be hung on the walls above the...

Hello everyone! I've been put in charge or picking out a new audio setup for a dance studio. I've done some thinking, and talked it over a bit with friends/audio shops, but would like the collective opinion of htf! So any input you can give me would be much appreciated. The dance floor is...

I love how my Axiom M50ti's look without their grills on, but can't help but worry about the drivers. Do y'all prefer your speakers with or without their grills? And is it an appearance thing, or is it to prevent the little ones from hiding toys in the ports/poking the highly pokable drivers?

I was in exactly the same position! I had two choices for my new PB1, and opted for the cable that would allow greater flexibility. I figured I was spending a good chunk of change on a quality sub, so the extra $10 to upgrade from one length to the next was nominal. It also gave me some...

Wow, it sounds like the Yammies are taking the lead! I too had thought the Denons would be a favorite, but I suppose it is much like speaker auditioning... every person has their own opinion! I guess it is now down to Yamaha and Denon. Thanks for the replies everyone!

Hey, I'm looking for an entry level CD changer. I was thinking roughly $300. I was at Magnolia HiFi and they only carried Denon and Sony. The two Denons they had were 5 disc changers with Burr-Brown 20 bit D/A converters, one with HDCD and one without. The only Sony I considered there was an ES...

I just want to thank everyone here for changing my mind about buying a sub (I live in a 5th floor apt), and the guys at SVS for producing such an incredible product! It arrived today after being backordered for a few weeks (Erik threw in a free t-shirt! :)), and I never knew how much I was...

I too am awaiting the arrival of my PB1-ISD. :frowning: Mine was back ordered for nearly 2 weeks, and should HOPEfully ship today... and at the latest on Wed morning. I guess the enclosure is what was holding things up. Anyhow, Erik said they were going to include an SVS shirt b/c of the...

While it may not shield your TV from magnetic interference, tinfoil is excellent when it comes to making hats to shield your brain from aliens. You never know when they could be monitoring you! :D

Thanks for the replies guys! Any speakers in particular you care to suggest Mike? Most likely I will order the Ascends, so I have the flexibility of putting them elsewhere for normal listening. I already have some Axiom M50ti towers, and am curious to see the differences between those and the...

I'm interested in setting up some bookshelf speakers on my desk. I have Axiom M50ti's in the livingroom, but want something to hook up to the computer as well. How do their bookshelf speakers sound from such close proximity? What about the Ascend Acoustics CBM-170s? If anyone can suggest another...

After lurking for 10-12 months, I feel compelled to post! About six months ago I picked up Axiom M50ti's, and a VP100. Now I live in a 5th floor apartment, above the unit next to the resident manager's, so I was going to hold off on a sub until I move out at the end of the summer. So much for...
