Thanks for the replies guys! I asked about these particular Denons because a) I adore the 3803 I have and b) because eCost has a refurb 3806 for ~$650. I figure I can get 300 selling the 3803 so I'm only out a few hundred for an equivalent receiver with all the cool new audio options. Pretty...

Howdy. I've been researching the whole HD-DVD thing and broke down and bought a Toshiba HD-A20 that will get delivered this weekend (Rock!). That, of course, got me started on my never-ending quest for the best sound ever. Unfortunately, I'm finding it hard to figure out how to get my TrueHD or...

I guess I could elaborate on the tv. It's a Sharp Aquos LC45D40U 45". Any idea how the upconversion is inside this guy? If it's reasonably decent, I think I'll save the loot and not buy a upconverting dvd player. As for monoprice.com I actually have a couple of cables in my shopping cart...

I've just bought my first HD tv - a 720p LCD. I know, I know, I'm behind the times. Anyway, since I'm new to all this, I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find a good answer to. This thing has HDMI input on it - will an HDMI feed from an SD dvd player look any better than a...

How'd you get the piano black to come out so well? I tried a finish like that but it took SOOOOO much work that I sorta gave up :)

Well, I can't get my cabinet to look any better than what it is now. So I'm building this sucka and see what happens. If it goes south, I can always scrap the $5 of MDF and start over :) Here's what I came up with: * 34.80 liter enclosure * 15.125" cube (taking into account the internal...

Actually, xmax is only 8.6mm. I think you might be getting past that because it's only rated at 125W. It definately has a bump in the excursion though - I'm toying with box sizes trying to avoid that...

Blake - thanks for the idea on the PR. I am new to this so I was originally trying to stick with super simple designs but, after reading a bit, the PR doesn't seem too complicated at all. As of now, I have two options: a sealed box and a PR box. The sealed comes in at 14.625x14.625x14.75 with...

Well, 2 hours after I post this, my friend tells me he's giving me 2 JL Audio 10W04's. These look like they're going to be much nicer in a small box than what I was looking at. So I cranked up WinISD and it told me 32.7 liters (1.2 cubic feet) is the way to go. I did some math and it appears...

Hello, I'm thinking of building myself a small (approximately 12" cube) sub to hook up to my bedroom stereo system. I was looking around on the forums and have gotten a few ideas, but I'm so new to this that I'm really clueless as to what I'm doing. First, I looked at the Dayton Quattro...

This is my first attempt at DIY speakers and I'm pretty darn pleased with how they turned out! What I've built is a set of standard A/V-3's using the cabinet design from GR. I added the top and bottom plates onto them to mimic Onix Rockets but other than that it's stock. I calculated that I...
