    Debating on how I should expand my Focal Dome 5.1 surround.

    My experience with 8's are they provide serious punch, but when it comes to the ultra low end rolls, they just don't have the surface area. Maybe adding a second one would improve this? I"m unsure. As for the PS3, the new slim version don't have a SACD player? My first gen 80GB version does.

    Well, I have an update. Santa was somewhat good to me, so I picked up a couple things for my setup. Keep in mind, this is my budget build, and EVERYTHING you see in the pics combined I don't even have $2500 into everything. Picked up a sub, and a new TV Stand =) The sub isn't anything...

    Hello all, I finally got everything installed and set to my preference. I'm using Neo-Tech 11AWG 4' length wire for the entire front stage, and Neo-Tech 11AWG wire for the rears. I still haven't acquired a sub, as the BR6's are performing a lot better in the low end than I presumed. I do...

    Does it matter to timber match the sub to the rest of the equipment? Or due to the extreme low frequencies a sub produces, it doesnt matter?

    Also, this isn't my first HT setup, this is my first step into high end stuff. My old setup was a 7.1 Pioneer receiver, and KLH Plat6 5.1 speaker setup.

    I do not have a sub yet. I am caught up between Velodyne, and the matching Monitor sub. I was offered a 15" Velodyne sub, for $800, or I can get the matching 10" Monitor BR sub for $1,000. As for placement, calibation, etc. I am going to be surfing those sections of this forum to see...

    The ARCAM handles it pretty damn good. However, if I get into a bass heavy style of music, the bass tends to fade, making me believe the caps are draining. I am just looking for something that may be rated a little more than these BR6's, to keep them running smooth, and to eliminate any cause...

    Please do not buy those TST speakers. They are part of the "White Van Scam" speakers.

    Sorry, I should have said Integrated. It sounds good, however, the AVR100 puts out 90WPC @ 8OHMS in 2 CH stereo. I am unsure what it does @ 4OHM (What the BR6 are rated for), so I was looking for something with a little more power to properly power up these BR6's. Either that, or get a...

    I should add, because the majority of my music is MP3, what bitrate should I be looking for? I try to stay around the 320kb rate. I understand that the higher quality the equipment the worse it sounds. I know this by trial and error, seems I am always adjusting the EQ to tone out the...

    Thanks for the reply. Mods, can this please be moved to the appropriate area? Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean by timbre matched? Are you mentioning that the three fronts need to be the same brand? I did my research on these models, and I have read rave reviews on...

    No feedback? I would like to know what you guys think of my setup. Whether it is a decent setup, or if I should ditch it for a matching set? Any ideas?

    I was asking what people thought about this setup. I know it is a mix'n'match setup, but I have high respect for the people here, as I have read through some of the threads, and can tell that people here definately know what's going on when it comes to HT.
