Thanks Willow. Yes, it was a sweet system, but I am turning it into cash to finance a trip out of the country. It served its purpose while I had it. The Viennas are the hardest to part with. Most of...

Hey all. I've had a little luck in selling off the system, but obviously there were no takers here. I've had to come down on the pricing a little in order to make some sales. Just thought I'd post...

Hey Polk Folk. Wanted to give my old friends a shot at my stereo system, in case there is any interest. Already gotten rid of all my Polk gear, but if anyone is interested in any of the following...

Hey all. Sold the VDM-5 on Audiogon, but the YIQ-3 and Monster Cables component video. Willing to come down on prices, they don't seem to be very popular. Thanks guys.

You're right heiney9. Thanks, I think I just had a higher expectation because the speakers sold so quickly.

Just to clarify guys, the FXi3's are sold to cstmar01. Thanks for the interest.

Doesn't look like anyone's interested in these cables so far. Guess it must be all the new HDMI capable stuff. Oh, well. I'll try to put them on Amazon or something. I'd be willing to come down on...

Hey all. I'm preparing to move and downgrading my system to a two-channel stereo setup. Just not that into watching movies anymore. As a result I'm selling my video cables.

I have three cables I'm...

This one is sold. Thanks guys.

Hey all. Looks like I sold the FXi3's, which just leaves the CSi5. Selling it for $200, $50 to ship UPS ground. I'm in Seattle, so any Washington residents willing to take a drive can avoid shipping...

Sounds good guys. Let me know on the CSi5 punk-roc, and I'll sell them separately. $200 for the center, $100 for the surrounds.

Thanks for the interest. I'd prefer to sell them at a package at the moment, but I'll hit you up if that doesn't work out if you're still interested in just the surrounds.

Hey all. Haven't been on the forum in a few years, going through many changes in life. I've decided to convert my home theater into a simple two-channel system. Getting rid of my TV, too. Anyway, I'm...

The 10's will give you more bass from the speaker itself, which I think is never a bad thing, and greater separation. Obviously I've graduated to another level of speaker, but I found the 10's were...

Besides better cables, I would suggest using a good line conditioner/power center for your system if you don't already. That will help clean up any ambient noise that may be coming through your...

Sid,

I can't say enough great things about Martin Logan subs. Accurate, musical, tight, gorgeous and small comparitively. I've come to dislike ported subs because I find there is always that...

I saw the trailer tonight for the first time and it looks amazing. I'm really becoming a fan of Christopher Nolan. And anything with Scarlett Johansen is a winner in my book.

Denon receivers are crap. Anything less than the 4800/5800 series is not very good. The 3805 will be ok to drive your Polks, but honestly a better HK or even a nicer Marantz would have given you...

Impedance ratings by manufactuer's are supposed to be NOMINAL impedance. Every speaker dips and spikes in Ohm resistance due to certain frequencies requiring more or less current to produce. What's...

I think it's a bit of a misnomer that hardwood floors enhance the bass. Personally, I've experienced the most bass in homes where the living rooms are carpeted, but the crawl space below the room...

Realistically you'll get nothing but **** for that price. There are literally absolutely no quality subs at that price that would be what I would consider to be adequeate for a system that is...

+1 for the B&K. It's one of the best receivers out there.
If you're just not looking to spend that much, for pure sound quality I dont' think you can beat the Marantz SR8500 for the price. ...

I thought the film was a lot of fun. Really enjoyed it. I did think the fighting scenes had a bit too much slapstick, but then it's a Disney movie.
I didn't mind the end so much. Years go by so...

Opus,

Getting into classical is a big ordeal, especially if you really want to explore. Having a few CD's around for relaxation is nice, but if you get the bug, you may find in a few years you...

Another problem with surround modes is that, while giving you the illusion of a wider soundfield, they actually diminish the experience for several reasons:
1. Most surround sound receivers have a...
