I have a pair lot RT 400 also. Really good sounding speakers, but alas, they seem to be had from time to time for around $200. Hard to find a better speaker for that price though, if you haven't...

So I got a really good deal on a pair of Monitor 50s.I didn't' t expect a WHOLE lot from them, seeing that original retail was, what, less than $400? So, for Christmas this past year, my wife...

I've posted this stuff before, but here's the related equipment:
PS3 for blu ray (not as impressed as the A/V media, but it's pretty good)
Toshiba HD DVD
Rotel RB 985 Mk II for 5 channels
Rotel...

Just wanted to post this picture. I've been building a house for a while now, and thought I'd post this pic to the forum. This will be the lovely home theater. :0)...

I have to disagree with the last post. Not about the industry stuff, but about the quality of sound, at low volume. I have found DTS to offer a much more natural sound, with more capable dynamics...

The GTP-400. I don't remember it getting great reviews, maybe I'm wrong about that, but I have to tell you what a difference it made in my system.

I was using that HK AVR, but in two channel...

Not sure what you mean by dark side, perhaps it is the non Polk speakers?
Don't worry, I still have my Polks, and I'm selling a pair of Infinity RS4 and possibly a super nice Boston Sub to help...

I purchased the Castle Severn speakers on Ebay. I am really looking forward to hooking those up.
Years ago I heard these speakers at Absolute Sound in WV. A great Hi-Fi shop, now closed...

Here's my addition to this lovely thread, having something to do about blind tests.

I, for one, strongly believe that I can hear a difference in speaker wires.

Also, I know I can hear a...

Here's a funny story about center channel speakers. I picked up an Optimus center channel for free, where a guy moved out of his house and just left it there. I previously had been using a...

I've never had any issues with the order I turn stuff on. When I think about it, I guess I turn on my receiver, then projector, then the blu ray player/HD DVD player. The projector then searches...

wow. I didn't know that othe speakers used those as well. I'm actually surprised that some Polks used them. I always thought that by incorporating the bulbs into the system, well I thought that's...

Hey Greg, did you get the amp fixed?

I have some Bose speakers in my closet. Yes, that's where I keep them. If I were brave enough to wade through the jungle of the closet, and not too lazy, I may take some apart and snap some pics of...

1. Generally, cable lengths longer than 25 ft. are subject to possible signal degradation.
2. Yes, that thing will work just fine.
3. It's according. A repeater may not mean amplifier. Give...

Seriously, be careful about putting a high quality cable on the Bose surrounds. If you are using AM-5's as surrounds, a high quality cable will actually make those speakers sound worse, not better! ...

I wouldn't suggest using a Y adaptor for your preamp outputs, as you are introducing one output signal into another output signal. This could damage your receiver.
The Boominess you are getting...

Do you have your front speakers on an amp?

Here's what I'm assuming... You currently have everything running from the power of your in dash unit. Is it factory?

If it is factory, you will...

I have a Harman Kardon receiver with pre-outs. I used the receiver alone for a while, then I purchased a Rotel RB985 MkII for around $400. The Rotel is leagues better than any receiver, especially...

It's a good deal I suppose, but I'm still buying HD DVDs! As long as my player works, and as long as I can find another one after mine breaks, I'll keep using the HD DVD format.

I like it!

Also in case anyone who asked earlier what components I was using, I went minimalist with everything. I am using the Denon 1920 as a cd player/dvd player, the Rotel 951, the HK AVR230 as a preamp,...

I think I read about not putting speakers along an exterior wall either in Stereo Review in the '80s, or in an old Radio Shack book called "Building Better Speaker Systems."

Just as an update, I tore down my audio system today, moved it, and rewired it all.

What a difference. Firstly, I had forgotten one of the cardinal rules about speaker placement, in that before I...

My advice is to get a can of compressed air and blow out the inside of the amp really well. Also, loosen the speaker terminals on the back of the amp and blow those off really well, and make sure...

Think about the output of an in-dash cd receiver. Even with the "new" MOSFET chips, you and I know that no matter the specs, those little amps that are built into the in dash receiver put out maybe...
