    Reconditioned H/K receivers on E-bay...

    What do you guys think of these reconditioned recievers that Harman Audio are selling on e-bay? Think they are safe to buy? They say they may have some minor scratchs. Has anybody seen the condition of these for real? Also, has anybody figured out a way to get one in Canada? Harman Audio...

    Will this work?

    I'm using a parts express 500w plate amp for the convienieance over a pro amp. But sometimes I like to tinker with things and I was thinking about installing some terminals in the back of my sub leading to the amp and woofer. Normally they would be jumped togeather, but if i wanted to try a...

    Some more sub questions...

    Well as some of you guys may know I have a DIY sub with an Avalanche 15 with a PE 500w plate amp. I first had this sub in a 5.5cuft box ported to 19hz and it sounded ok but the low end was overpowering. And it really didnt seem to have alot of higher frequency bass output no matter how much...

    Anybody here using an Avalanche?

    Just wondering if anybody else here purchased an avalance when they went on sale? Seemed to be alot of intrest when the sale started but not much feedback since. So what do you guys think of them? I have a 15 in a 5.5cuft box ported to 19 Hz and the really deep stuff is insane. Way better...

    Ground problem?

    I'm using a PA amp on a DIY subwoofer and I am getting a ground hum in both the sub and speakers. The PA amp is grounded and the reciever is not which seems to be the problem. I tried the PA amp on an extension cord that eliminates the ground and it sounds fine, hum dissappears. Is it ok to...

    5 channel sound from CATV??

    I noticed that a friends HT system has 5 seperate channels playing while watching cable. He also tells me that he does NOT have digital cable? So how is this working? Makes no sense, most recievers just have 2-ch audio inputs and digital inputs for multichannel signals. What am I missing...

    I'm in the process of upgrading my HT. I'm currenly using JBL Northridge ND-310's (same as E-100's) for mains and plan on downsizing them now that I have a powered sub on the way. I need some help in deciding what to go with. I really like the looks (Black and Silver) of my Northridge series...

    My current setup consists of a S-Center II (studio series), ND-310 fronts (older northridge with dual 10's, same as E-100's) and N-24 surrounds (4" northridge).

    Subwoofer response?

    I'm just wondering how important it is to have a sub that responds really low? Seems like many people here want a sub that can reach down below 20Hz. But I've noticed that the very best you can get at most above decent electronics stores only respond to around the mid 20's? Is there really...

    Avalanche or Tumult 15?

    I had my mind made up on getting a Tumult with the Avalanche as a close second choice. Now that the Avalanche is even cheaper i'm finding it too good a deal to pass up. Plus the cost of an amplifier will be much cheaper. Would I be making the right decision to give up on the Tumult and buy...

    Receiver Advice. Should I upgrade or not?

    I have a Nakamichi AV-8 reciever with JBL Northridge speakers. I'm pleased with the sound. Two channel sounds great, the fronts are the dual 10" model and they really sound nice on the Nakamichi. They seem to be a great match in my opinion anyway. Movies sound good too, but I cant really say too...
