    HDTV as display for G5 PowerMac

    just make sure you look at the native resolution for the lcd. when i hook mine up to my comp it sets its self to 1020 x780 (ish i cant remeber) with that machine you want to make sure that the display can go higher than that. thats why the apple displays are so expensive, becuase there...

    Speaker Wattage

    if you want to run the 4 speakers in surround set it to 4. i personaly ahve 4 front speakers so i needed to set my reciever to 4 ohms. no extra fan needed becuase i dont play it that loud (not much above the quarter point). seperate amps is also a great idea. thats a lot of work for just one amp...

    Speaker Wattage

    to my knoledge there arent any 9.1 yet (im sure there are but probably $$$$$$$) when looking at wpc make sure u take into concideration efficiency. and 60wpc speaker rated at 90dbs will have the same power as a 120 watts speaker at 87bds. for every +/- 3 dbs the power doubles. with the amp make...

    rear speakers

    replacing the polks with klipsch sounds like a great idea. the klipsch speakers are sooooo much diferent (concidering a horn tweeter and a rediculous efficiency at 98 db's while the polks are 90) those polks cant blend at all. another huge difference is the fact that klipsch use horn tweeter and...

    Speakers vs room size

    i sort of disagree with most of the comments. if you like the sound of the floor standing speakers, then get them. just because you have a small room now doesnt mean you should sacrafice for it (not saying that floorstanding sounds better then bookshelf). a sub is a neccecity for a system...

    Position of speakers and stuff

    just remember, its a bed room, not a dedicated theater. do your best but dont expect perfection. do u have a sub? if not i would not recomend going from a floorstanding to bookshelf. you will loose a lot of good bass response

    Looking for a speaker system

    the problem u run into is not having the speakers being timbre matched. having matched speakers creates a seamless sound. this only realy effects the fronts and centers though. if you are going to use different brands make sure that the efficincy is the same. for instance you cant mix klipsch...
