wayne, you seem to grasp this HT construction a bit better than some, or just that youve been here so long, what suggestions do you have?

Chris, the word 'maroon' being used as a noun directed twoard someone is highly offensive to many people. please change your post. please.

which sounds better?

"From what you say I get the impression she’s looking for people who are more interested in the room (aesthetics) than the equipment" well isnt that what an interior designer does? she would help the homeowners with the whole process. "However, the folks more along the line of what...

so please anyone jump in and help me/her.

brentl, do you use that thing? first off, there are NO RCA jacks on it at all. its all mini jacks. plus it needs an extra box for 7.1. Why would you suggest this? im kinda surprised, especially if you say its a FANTASTIC value, i have never seen anyone else here use this or even speak of this.

very cool

"Sam - what I meant was proper speaker placement, proper screen size for the room, proper seating distance from the screen and so on. Not using too many hard reflective objects (live room) or too many sound absorbing objects (dead room). I dunno, maybe things like proper lighting...

move them farther away. if not possible, face them away from the listener. or buy dipole, tripole speakers. Ive seen surrounds facing up so the sound hits the ceiling first so it diffuses the sound first.

i never tear up and i cut onions all the time. only once in a blue mmon does it affect me. does it depend on how you cut them?

ok, maybe I should first ask how much people pay designers/architects/contractors for renderings of their future HT?

maybe the bass is making you cd player skip? HAS been known to happen .

... just trying to get an idea for her, any help?

all of what features? start off at parasound halo amps. also i read their pre/pro is good

SEPERATES MAN ALL THE WAY

thanks dave, yes she is definately trying to appeal to the WAF, but I dont think that she would take any job lightly and just throw stuff on the wall and ask for money. she does her research.

ill be joining you soon john pine! just dont know which to get : parasound, b&k , rotel, or whatnot.

thanks richard, but I highly doubt the 100 watts per channel will be as clean as the power ams im getting. i want an all in one unit like that but i know it wont sound good [at very loud levels which i love to listen to]. i need to have my HT setup by thanksgiving and im ordering...

no offense taken nick, "but that's not always what sounds good", so you are telling me that the homeowner would instinctively design a better sounding HT in their living room/basement that would SOUND better than her designs? she is really serious about this so I would like to know where...

"The idea of a dual sub system is kind of what velodyne is doing with the 1812 sub" OK sure, can you loan me the $ for the friking sub? haha that sub is quite expensive. "Sam A what pre/pro or receiver are you using? In my case I use a Bryston SP 1.7" right now i have nothing. im going...

mono mini jack to rca converter should work to get a wire from PC to digi coax in on your sony. if that doesnt work, try the HTPC section of HTF. I want to know if youll get 5.1 or just stereo from watching moivies that way. PS - I just read another thread saying that the digital...

so i just need to break up with my girlfriend then and win the lottery huh? Im most likely getting 2 B&W bookshelves for mains with matching center, so the bass will be lacking. since ive demoed speakers, ive always loved the room shaking bass, different than the chest thumping bass im used...

CHRIS, YOU THE MAN, I COULDNT READ THROUGH ALL 32 PAGES OR SO, BUT IT LOOKS SLICK, AND SHOULD HAVE WHAT i NEED. i WILL DEFINATELY LOOK INTO THIS ONE. sooryy bout the caps. im maybe ill do that little 5.1 midiland thing till that gets here

My g/f is an interior designer and she's amazed at how many ppl want HT's. she wanted me to get an idea from you guys on how many might want plans for their HT drawn by someone else? maybe for the contractor that dont want to pay for an architect? shes a wiz at autocad and does 3d renderings. im...

Frank, I dont understand, i wouldnt use a stereo signal, dont even know how to get stereo LFE. how are your subs x''dover?

found this: i know its for PC's but dang its cheap. id even settle for 5.1 instead of 7.1 just cause its so cheap. does anyone know of the sound quality?> http://www.midiland.com/proddetail.a...r=60&category=

heh, got all excited till I realized I was searching in STEREO pre amps! they should let you know at audiogon that proc means preamp

so if I dont want a receiver/wont fit , what are my options?

well one sube would be starting at 150 Hz and the other at 30 Hz. the music one is totally locateable, and most HT subs arent made to go that high.
