Bump for you. Hoping someone here picks them up. Out of my budget for bookshelves, but I've been itching to hear any of the Palladium line. Just wish you were close enough for me to drop by and be...

Dang... too many good choices. Fortunately, I'm on hiatus from projectors for a while. Sold off my last one almost two years ago, and am still waiting to jump back in. I'm waiting for LED bulbs and...

Ditto that. We don't watch enough football to keep up with the changes, and sometimes the various rule differences between college and pro go over my head. I certainly don't keep up with the...

That is a happy article. Thanks for sharing. There was a similar vinyl piece back in the NYTimes last year, which also made me smile:...

Glad your gear is okay.

It's part of the downside of home theater systems so often being in the basement... we rent a townhome, and the 1st floor is the "Basement" since the house really starts on...

Only problem with lottery winners is that they get lots of news coverage -- everyone wants what you have. with the stock market, the big winners generally remain anonymous... that way you only have...

Still on the fence about going. Very curious about the 48fps, and whether that will become a trend in Hollywood, or if this is a one-off effort that's going to fall flat.

keep at it, and be encouraged that you're living a dream... I grew up helping my Dad with home remodeling/building projects, but as of yet, my wife and I are still paying back college loans and can't...

Dang -- I had the same thing happen last week. My Martin Logan Dynamo sub went Pop. Took out the fuse; it was fried. Replaced it (twice) and it fried again each time I turned it back on. Talked to...

stunning pictures on Lik's site. Thanks for the link. room looks awesome.

www.accessoriies4less.com also has some good deals on the Ixos and Ethereal brands... again, depends on what you want to spend. But I've seen great reviews on some of the Ixos stuff with it being...

That's awesome. I play golf so rarely that $2 sounds about right for a golf club... Everything I've used is a hand-me-down, garage sale or craigslist. Anything over $5/club sounds like highway...

Once you install Ubuntu, then you are unofficially de-assimilated. Until then, windows and OSX are just different minions. :)

Glad you're happy with your mac... they do make things ea$y.

Cool design... back in high school I had some hexagonal-shaped (as in, hexagonal if viewed from overhead) speakers that were designed to double as coffee-tables, marble tops and all. I picked them up...

Try it. Depends largely on what music you prefer to listen to. And make sure you read a guide on how to best position it in the room before you judge it one way or the other -- room placement can be...

I feel like the biggest differences is that speaker/component designs are definitely getting more distinctive, and -- like everything else -- the pieces are becoming more and more like mini-computers...

Since you have something that works, I'd be patient and set up some RSS feeds for your local craigslist to start watching for brands/models you might want. I needed more power for a two-channel setup...

Is the $150 limit your suggested limit, or hers? What will her source be? And are you factoring in any budget for a headphone amp?

I think for overall sound quality, $150 may get a lot more...

The other great part about sound is that there is no perfect set of speakers for all kinds of mood/music/emotion. There are some speakers that will be perfect for female vocals and fall apart on hard...

Yep... and the great part is that no matter what we've heard, our memories are crisp enough to accurately remember the exact sound of any setup, so -- maybe it's the optimist in me -- I always...

I'd go used market, just because you can try things out without losing money, except maybe shipping costs--let someone else take the depreciation hit, try out the cables, and if you don't like them,...

Theoretically, biamping your fronts could help. Best way to find out is to try it. My guess is that that receiver will have enough power to make you happy, especially based on what you're upgrading...

I must have missed that news story... do you have a link to the coverage?

That's helpful... I have a new computer and have been debating putting in a soundcard vs. getting a USB-DAC for everything. Do you have suggestions on a high-value USB-DAC you'd recommend based on...

Interesting project. I'll be curious to see how it goes. How are you deciding on volume changes based on speaker sensitivity? Are you equalizing every speaker to the same in-room db measurement or...
