    Vizio m series

    I've seen the TCL display and also have heard some good things about it, though I've heard some bad as well. Mostly in the build quality. I read several reviews talking about how the border frame will separate from the screen causing some issues, granted that may have been an older version. I...

    Vizio m series

    Hello, I'm currently looking at purchasing a new display. I'm looking at tvs around the $700 range and 55" or larger. With this budget, I'm thinking the vizio m series would probably be the best bang for the buck. I generally like Samsung products, but in looking for a display that is 4k, as...

    upgrade path?

    So, the question to as whether or not the tower surrounds need to be the exact same as the fronts, or can I go to a smaller speaker in the same line for the surrounds? Also, i'm starting to wonder, were the RF82's necessary? I just wonder if perhaps maybe the smaller Klipsch would have been...

    upgrade path?

    oops, forgot the pic. so, a couple of questions about tower surrounds. first is the issue of height. ive read that in general, you want your surround speakers to be above you, about 2 foot. using towers would not be able to do this, unless you placed them on some sort of base. second...

    upgrade path?

    well, room isnt a problem, but cost is. I came home with 2 RF82's and a RC52 center channel. I guess i got a good deal on them. Klipsch website lists them at $600 each and Frys has them listed at $599 each. The salesman thought one of the boxes might have been opened, but didnt really look...

    upgrade path?

    Ok. So what exactly does bi amp do? I was under the impression that it allowed power to be delivered to separate sections of the speaker, giving each of those individual speakers more power and thus allowing them to perform better and perform individually. I.E having separate power sources for...

    upgrade path?

    While I'm up here listening to speakers, I thought I'd ask. I'm going to listen to several speakers, but am thinking favorably of the rfII 82's and the rtia7's. Will the Yamaha rx-v871 have any problem properly powering either of those speakers? Granted, I plan on getting amps in the future...

    upgrade path?

    Thanks, looks like i'll be headed up to Frys this weekend to demo some speakers. If the TSX are a lateral move, then I would imagine the A7's would sound pretty good to me. When I demo'd the P363's, I listened to a pair of TSX440s and thought they sounded pretty good, better than the...

    upgrade path?

    Looking to make some upgrades. Currently have: Yamaha RX-v871 Outlaw audio LFM1+ Infinity P363 (mains) Infinity PC351 (center) Infinity P163 (surrounds) The Infinity speakers are a bit warm for me. They seem to not have good mid range to upper range. I like my speakers to be a bit more...

    that is to say, would an under $1000 projector also be inferior to a $700 LCD HDTV?

    looking for a new TV

    right now, i have a sony bravia 46" LCD, and was thinking of trying to get something a little bigger, maybe 51-55". This time, after doing some reading, im likely going to go plasma, due to not having to deal with motion blur, better contrast ratios etc... Samsung has one, 51" plasma, 1080p...

    what makes a speaker..a good speaker?

    Ty, as far as how loud I listen, really, not loud at all. I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, and while i've already talked to the guy above me and asked him to let me know if my sound bothers him (to which he said that he is laid back and cool with it etc..), I rarely get much above the...

    what makes a speaker..a good speaker?

    thanks for the replies. i know that tower vs bookshelf is largely preferrential, but the conclusion i'm drawing, at least from what you are saying Ty, is that, a tower will generally be a better option over a bookshelf, i.e. a tower will do everything that a bookshelf will do, and generally...

    what makes a speaker..a good speaker?

    So, now that I have my system mostly complete, im curious. What makes a speaker a "good" speaker? Take the primus line. They are low budget speakers I assume, yet, I have read, on this forum if im not mistaken, that 1) the drivers are some of the best you can get, and 2) infinity puts a ton...

    Actually, what I may do, after reading another post on audioholics about this subject, is just eventually get a second sub.

    A couple more questions

    When i had the sub in the front of the room, YPAO was pretty accurate for its' distance, but when I put it behind the couch, that's when it changed. I dont have a tri-pod, but what i did do was, I put about a 2.5 foot high carboard box on my couch, on top of that I put a 1 liter soda bottle...

    A couple more questions

    hmm, i was just thinking about something. i have the outlaw audio lfm-1+, my old subwoofer is the klipsch rpw10. the klipsch sub only goes down to 35Hz and has a 400w/200w amplifer. Could I use this klipsch as a second subwoofer? maybe as a mid bass module? would it work or would the...

    A couple more questions

    ok, a few changes. got the sub in and hooked it up. today i went out and got a 5' 3" X 7' 7" area rug and a non slip pad to go under it, hoping to correct some of the room acoustic issues. I guess im going to have to do more because I still have an echo when i clap my hands and you can hear...

    A couple more questions

    Well, I'd have to ask the property manager, but, I think this is basically just the faux wood on concrete. I'm sure there may be some other material, but i dont think they have any noise proofing materials under it. The reason I am thinking about this is for 1) comfort, and 2) talking to...

    A couple more questions

    So, I have faux hardwood floors. I'm thinking of getting an area rug, one that just covers the area from the front of my tv stand to the front of my couch. What kind of sound change can I expect?From what I understand, it should be a good change. I guess with hard wood floors, the room echos too...

    A couple more questions

    When doing the crawl, where should your sub be located? I've heard that you should place it in your seating position, in your chair or on the couch. I also read that you should move your couch and put the sub in that spot. Which is correct? On the couch, or on the floor where the couch would...

    would this be a good sub..

    went ahead and ordered the LFM-1+, hoping it will be here sometime in the next 2 weeks (outlaw audio says orders will be shipped withing 5 working days of the order placement, so I assume that 5 days + another 4 or 5 days ground shipping means i should see it in roughly 2 weeks). anyway, I need...

    would this be a good sub..

    Im confused at this statement. Is this to mean that the 16Hz advertised on http://www.outlawaudio.com/products/lfmEX.html , a $649 subwoofer, would never actually be achieved? So, which of the subs ive listed would be considered the dump truck? :D A DIY sub might be something i would look...

    would this be a good sub..

    thanks guys. so it sounds like one of the 3 subs ive listed will do the job nicely, all 3 have enough power, all 3 are under 20Hz capable, and all 3 are similarly priced....i just need to figure out which one is going to be the better buy. Looking at them, however, i do have another question...

    would this be a good sub..

    thanks for the replies. as far as the subs ive listed, like i said, im leaning toward the HSU, but im just wondering if passing up one of the outlaw subs would be a mistake. also, im curious. the sub i have now is a Klipsch RPW10. 35-120Hz, 420W peak 200W RMS. the HSU sub is 1000W peak...
