    Theoretically..

    every speaker is different. unless they are the exact same speaker they will sound differently.

    Tiny dent mark in tweeter? Lose sleep? Cry? Forget about it?

    i garantee you a dust particle floating past the front of the speaker while watching a movie would make just as much difference. the room is so full of reverberations and discrepencies that even my TWO dented tweeters... i still can't tell them apart. (and my mine are far worst then...

    What makes a good HT speaker as apposed to a good Music speaker.

    i dont know about you guys but... i've allways had a specific idea of what makes a good ht or a good music speaker. funny, because EVERYTHING is subjective. as this thread proves. for example. a good music speaker (for me) would be a ribbon, mid-tweet, two-mid, and three woofers...

    2000 to spend, need some input, very very important

    to be honest with you... from my experience, nothing beats a good crt for gaming. i've seen lcds and dlps on playstation (so i can only imagine xbox) and seems crt's have better color, are crisper and most all smoooooother. if you do alot of gaming id be worried about burn in with the flat...

    Can I add a subwoofer to a 5 channel system?

    i know you said your amp doesn't have a connection for a subwoofer but... you might have a pre-out that you could connect a sub to it.

    computer & stereo

    i'm pretty sure there are sounds cards that have a opt. out for audio. and most decent cards nowadays have 5.1. so... maybe you should look into a newer card if sound quality is issue.

    How to mount Flared ports?

    try some glue. i dont know the type, placement, or even what kind of moulding your port is but... you should be able to glue them in place.

    Question about PR displacement vs driver displacement

    i can't think of any one reason why you shouldn't be able to use a passive radiator in a car other than perhaps car movement moving the cone in ways you wouldn't want. i'm thinking way out there that maybe the resonance of the car could induce unwanted vibrations in a cone that isn't...

    i would say thats within context of an average soon to be newcomer to the home theater world. i seen a medium in that text of about 1000-1500 for a first purchase of a dedicated hometheater. it outlined the basics. what the buyer should be looking for in order to make a long term...

    Upgrade now, wait for HD-DVD/Blu Ray or should I just shoot myself?

    arent they merging both technologies? i understand that the big 4 are at the tables now negotiating contracts and such to come up with a new disc that will incorporate both technologies. this has been in the works for a long time now and its one reason why neither technology has been...

    JBL PB12 fixes?

    i've had the same amp for 2.5 years with extensive use. runs like new. all i do is turn the sub on with the switch and turn it off once i'm done. simple as that.

    Wonderful Days...a Korean anime masterpiece?

    watched the trailer. sounds good. i'm hoping the dubbing over doesn't kill the sounds effects like 99% of all other anime tranlations (why i watch with subtitles) looks good. tried posting a url... but wasn't aloud. so... google "sky blue". you'll come up with the site.

    Recommendations for floor-standing speakers in the $1500-$2000 range for Hi-Rez music

    yeah actually i had the same thing happen to me. i blew a tweeter and brought them into a shop to order and replace both tweeters (yeah... could have done it myself. whatever.) so. while they were away getting fixed i bought a new harmon/kardon. got the speakers, they sounded great...

    Lowther Speakers?

    actually those kinds of speakers are perfect for the room where its only gonna be two channel stereo (kitchen, garage, bathroom.) paired up with a nice warm amp... they can sounds amazing if set up right. like some said. live jazz and strings is where these speakers shine. i would probalby...

    Wow, what a difference between my Denon 2900 and my Panny DVD Recorder!

    my guess would be just overall better component specs, tolerances, and higher quality manufacturing. maybe something to do with digital processing also. with computers these days, the chips used make a big difference in the end sound.

    Music overwhelms speech

    try to be a little more specific with your details. what processing mode are you using? which harmon/kardon component are you using? and what media? movies or general 2 channel music? so far its sounds like your listening to a mono signal in dolby pro-logic 2. also i find that even...

    Wondering which cables are good for me.........

    Just alot of bad experiences with their company. When i was younger, living in a small northern ontario town, i had the only option of ordering and building my stereo from them. 90% of their product is mass manufactured and rebadged; Optimus, rca, and their proprietary brand. The money paid...

    I'll get it someday....but not today.

    from what i can understand is that your sounds channel would ahve to go from your dvr--->tv--->and back to your tv in order for you keep your receiver on opt1 and not have to switch between the two. I looked online at the manual and wasn't clear enough to tell if your tv has a universal audio...
