    Which power amp

    Ok, so I have the Pioneer 1014 matched up to a bi-amped pair of B&W 604's, with B&W 602 surrounds, a B&W LCR600 centre and a Dr HSU VTF-3 subwoofer. But the problem is I am not getting enough "punch me in the face" power from my mains. So I am thinking I need to get a separate 2 ch power amp for...

    Amp fan

Does anyone have any...

    DLP - Samsung vs Toshiba

    Ok so I just purchased a 50" Hitachi Rear Projection LCD, but now I am thinking of taking it back to get a DLP. I would be getting either the 50" Samsung HLR5067W or the 52" Toshiba 52HM95. Anyone have any opinions on these two DLP's? Or should I just keep my rear projection LCD?

    Is the PB12 worth the $$ over the PB10?

    So for the actual price to my door (Canada) the SVS PB12-ISD will be about $200 (Canadian) more then the SVS PB10-ISD. Now after reading everything I know the PB10 is an amazing sub so I would assume the PB12 is even better but is it worth the extra $200?? The room is 14 x 14 (50% electronic...

    Tannoy PS115 vs. SVS PB10-ISD?

    Ok, so I know that these subs are not really in the same class but this is my dilemma... I can get a used Tannoy PS115 for $425 or a brand new SVS PB10-ISD for $429, the Tannoy is only 100 watts but it's a 15" sub. The SVS is 300 watts but it's only a 10". Does anyone have experience with either...

    Technics Overload

    So my uncle has a Technics SA-AX540 amp (rated at 100 watts per channel in to 8 Ohms) and he was using two Cerwin Vega CLSC-12 towers (8 Ohms, 300 watt peak)) for the fronts. Now his amp is saying overload. There are no loose wires crossing and there is plenty of air around the unit. The next...
