Those barrels hold 150 gallons of wine each! My date reading about the Wine Lab. My date and I (name is Nik) enjoying music and drinking our wine! Music guest were the Maines Brothers who are related to Natalie Maines of Dixie Chicks. The music and food were great and a good way to watch...

Lubbock is home to two wineries in West Texas and on October 18 was their "Grape Day", a celebration of the harvest and a salute to the local community which supports the wine industry. This is a great local company that is fully supported in the community. Most of the finest restaurants in...

Scott- Don't know if you have looked but I love my Helos 100s (they come in three or four sizes/ prices now). They match up with my Aerius i with no complaints. I am using them as rear channels but they sound great and voices are replicated great and sound like the person is right next to...

Joe- Nice ride- where did you get the sub boxes? Any dislikes? Thanks! Nik

Which ones are you going to use- would love to do this to my Sequel 2 when I upgrade panels! Nik

Good god man- I hope I dont run out of power :p 2900watts of Emotiva power and 1300watts of sub power and other power planned (yet to purchase) :D Anyone for movies at my place- just bring movies and pretty women (other than wives!!!) Nik

What happens if my conditioner (has ML Aerius i, Logos, blu-ray, HD DVD, TV, A/V Switcher, Receiver, VHS, and cable) are on a different leg of power? Any problems with ground loops there? Here is the break down: Outlet 1- 15amp: living room breaker: hospital grade outlet: subwoofer Outlet 2...

I am in the final stages of setting up my home theater in my living room but have a tough decision. All electronic audio/video components are running on a standard 15amp line through a power conditioner. I am wanting to install two 20amp lines (no not 220) because I will be running four Emotiva...

What am I- a thread killer? Someone please help as I am about to start setting up my HT and would like some help to do it right the first time. Nik

AWESOME! Thank you for the link, guess I was using the wrong search words. Could someone comment on this placement.... 10ft seperation-maybe with extreme toe-in to narrow soundstage.... 3.5-4ft off wall 10ft from listening position Lots of acoustic panels! I could do an 8ft spacing but then...

Since we are addressing speaker placement, can someone tell me the recommended distance APART for MLs. I used the SEARCH function but only found topics that mention distance from the rear wall. I am looking at approx 10ft right now between speakers (nothing inbetween the panels to block the...

Yea- I guess so, time flies when you have Joey-itis! :) Sry- forgot to mention that if you purchase Emotiva- you then qualify for 40% off their next pre/pro upgrade. If you had purchased their MMC-1 at $699- then the next model to come out would be $420 (assuming the original price is $699)...

A few years ago??? That was last years model! Pioneer is using the 94 model now which features HDMI 1.3 but lacks *DolbyMA (*- I think). Also look at Emotiva. I and others have some of their equipment and its damn good and not a bad price! Nik

I have three degrees- all are undergrad though. Can I vote three times then? Nik

Sleepy- How do you like your sub trap? I have two Jamo Sub650s (650watt peak- 12" front fire) that I was going to place diagonal from one another but would only run two for movie time and/or showing off. I didn't know if one would handle all that bass.
