How do you know that you ordered a sub that counts? It gets dropped off by a Semi, on a pallet, using a pallet jack.... and there are 2 of them. I picked these SVS PB13 Ultra's up to potentially replace my JL F212. It is pretty sad that when I got them into the house and was unpacking them, I...

Adam came on April 25 at 1:09pm - 7lb12oz and 20" long. Just got home today. Everything went well - probably couldn't have been easier, really. Adam and Shannon are both doing well and we're all looking forward to getting out of the house and doing something fun after those couple of boring...

Pretty well done advertising, I'd say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EN0fkNp4WLs#!

I pulled out one of me Summit backplates for inspection yesterday and noticed something interesting. As far as I can tell, the ESL panel actually has no crossover - it is run full range directly off of the binding posts on the back of the plate. There are no PCB connections to this signal at...

I was having some issues with some of my gear after some of the storms that went rolling through a couple of weeks ago (unplug your stuff!!!!) and got out to go shopping today. I picked up some new parts to upgrade current stuff - mains to Summit X, my processor to a Marantz AV7005, added a...

I have been meaning to post about this for a while, but haven't thought about it. I was at my insurance office adding some riders to my policy for some artwork and jewelry and I brought along documentation regarding all of my stereo equipment. When I presented it to my agent and said it was...

Anyone have any over-ear headphones that they enjoy and would recommend? I am looking for something that is relatively portable, but I am not neceassrily against something that will require external amplification. The only headphones that I've really had an opportunity to sample are big dollar...

I just picked up a descent (which based on just a few minute listen this morning is pretty awesome) and I want to set it up with both LFE input and L/R input. My receiver only has a single L/R output. Am I sacrificing anything if I Y that output and send one to the amp, one to the sub? Thoughts?

1 - Aspect Ratios. 16:9 became the standard a long damn time ago, so use 16:9! Don't give me any BS about artistic touches, creativity, etc; I don't care. I want the movies to fit the screen on my TVs! 2 - Stop playing bass frequencies through the LFE track for things like background music...

We're taking an impromtu 5 day trip to Vegas next week - are there any nice hifi shops there? It would be fun to maybe hear some things I've never heard before at some different hifi shops.

Has anyone had any issues with the front firing woofers on the summit? I was listening tonight and noticed that something seemed off - I was thinking that maybe someone was playing with my 25/50 knobs or something. After checking them and finding them unchanged, it didn't take long for me to...

Can anyone point me in the direction of some reasonably priced, decently performing external DAC/preamp combo that has a HT bypass? I am looking to try to stay around/under the $2k ballpark. The Benchmark DAC1 HDR catches my eye and has good reviews, but it doesn't have a HT bypass option...

Anyone use the Squeezebox Duet? Currently, I stream FLAC to my PS3 and it works OK, but the PS3 menus are clunky, control sucks, and it will not randomly play from all songs. I am hoping that the Squeezebox is a bit better. Anyone use it ? What does everyone think?

This has just been a silly journey so far. Let's see.... Sept 09 - No Hifi, pretty happy with $600 HTIB. Oct 09 - Heard CLX's at local audio shop.... wow, I need a set, woah, not for $25k Nov 09 - Bought a pair of Aerius i, placed into HT, running off of HTIB receiver Dec 09 - Replaced HTIB...

Because my aquarium just got a lot more dangerous. :-) I added a 2+ foot long Tesselata eel yesterday. He is about as big around as my fist and has a lot of very sharp fang style teeth. Beautiful fish, for sure. Time will tell if all of my other fish will survive this addition. The...

My Abyss subwoofer squeaks on heavy/loud bass hits. This squeak very clearly is coming from the rubber footing/grommit set up that the subwoofer sits on. I recently switched it over to sitting on the spikes hoping to eliminate this noise, but it didn't help. If I press down on the top of the...

I always finding it interesting on hobbiest sites to hear what other people's different hobbies are. It is fun to find others with common interests - or maybe another new hobby to pick up. haha For me.... I have too many hobbies for sure. haha My car... ~700hp z06: My Jeep... long arm...

In your opinions, are in-wall speakers capable of producing as good sound as floorstanding speakers? Why or why not? This is a discussion that I was having with a friend and was curious as to what other's opinions are. From what I've heard in my friends multi-million dollar homes with big...

Like the title says, for a given speaker, how much power is "enough"? I currently am using Ascents and it seems most people give them somewhere around 300-400watts. Are people buying amps that are rated those numbers at 4 ohms or at 8 ohms? It is interesting to me that ML recommends 200w...
