Amen Sam. We saw Circuit City leave our city and then State, then country. I worked for Kevin, at HiFiSales, in my opinion one of the higher end design, to prewire, to trim-out home theater shops in Arizona and if filed for bankruptcy. Sounds Like Music sold the highest end speakers, amps and...
Thanks Gene for the correction. But, I did have the technical element for digital surround sound formats correct that equal power is feed to all five speakers. :D
There's several stories as to why Elvis never performed outside the U.S., but the one thought is some said the stadiums of other countries, at the time, could not accommodate the crowd that would be brought in, they weren't big enough. It was also mentioned that at the time (correct me if I'm...
When playing a disc, the multi-channel digital formats allow equal wattage to each channel. If a 5-one system then each speaker receives the 105 watts.
Well, brand loyalty is subjective. I do not want to come across hating Sony, or Bose, or anyone. Maybe the experience I had with AV Receiver’s (Sony and Denon, etc.) before I went to the Lexicon AV PA Pro and separate power amps was not Sony's power supply build, but their tight protection...
Thanks Robert for your gratitude on my service. Many people take it for granted.
Have you seen Danley Labs Matterhorn? I was working with Rockford when someone told me of Toms latest design. This is the Army’s version of the making of the world's largest subwoofer. 40,000 watts of pure power...
I am a returning Iraq Vet, I do not hijack anything. I am just explaining facts; the net is saturated with misinformation and you saying that large subs need less power shows you need more experience in the industry. It is a matter of science, not debate.
So, so true. And the specific reason that Denon and Onkyo are superior to a Sony receiver is they are high-current. They have better built power supplies, better slew rates and damping factors, (near a separate amplifier). A Sony looks sexy, but cannot drive lower impedance speakers and never...
The number one cause of distortion is having too little power, or lack of quality wattage.
If a sub says, (which is typical), 500W-1000W RMS, 3000W peak the sub will sound best with a 1000W amp. (Although, you can and we on here often recommend you push 1100-1200W to it, it will likely take...
Welcome Dave,
With the equipment you bought you will have better sound then if you went with a brand new HTiB system. You have bigger cabinets and better quality drivers in the speaker cabinets.
Dear Dave,
You will never have buyer remorse for going with projection. With front projection you get size, and size matters. The PJ's today offer better contrast ratio, less screen door and rainbow effects. The custom labor they are quoting is awesome cheap! When I installed for HiFi Sales AZ...
It is good to still see home theater enthusiasm, in spite of places like Hi Fi Sales (AZ), Buss Jensen’s (AZ), Sounds like Music (AZ), Circuit City (AZ and most others states) and others that have gone out of business. Home Theater still flows in our veins. I would love getting involved with...
