I really messed up...first, I have a general rule that I live by...if I'm not ready to buy something, I don't try it out. It's a basic understand of my lack of will power. I don't test drive new cars, I don't play with new electronics, etc. until I've got money in my pocket. I made an...

Any one heard of Emotiva audio (www.emotivaaudio.com)? I came across them in my search for cheap two channel amplification. They appear to have a similar business approach to Outlaw. Anyone heard any of their products?

Thank you everyone for suggestions on used monitor speakers for my whole house sound project. I'm searching for something from the list that y'all provided. After auditioning the Sonos with the intergrated amp, it is clear to me that I will need to buy the unit without the amp, and add a two...

Interesting experience recently...I bought a pair of Claritys about 2 years ago. When I first connected them, I thought they sounded very nice, but a bit thin on the low end...so I bought an REL sub to pair with them. Over the last couple years, I have adjusted the sub and dailed in the...

I am looking for a pair of used bookshelf speakers to use in the living room of my new house. These will not replace the ML's, which will finally have a room of their very own! Any serious listening sessions will be done there. However, I'd like something nice for the livingroom, since that...

Just picked up a Cinema, courtesy of Pcar928fan (thanks!). I plan to mount it in the media room in the new house I am building. My plan was to mount the Cinema high up on the front wall, above my screen. However, I'm wondering if I would be better off mounting it from the ceiling, and...

I recently purchased the Benchmark DAC1 and really love the sound. However, it does not have a 12V trigger to switch on and off, actually it doesn't have a power switch at all. I'd like to be able to switch it on and off along with the receiver. Does anyone know of an external plug that will...

Based on reviews here, I went ahead and ordered a Benchmark DAC1 off audiogon. My original plan was to use this in conjunction with my Sony DVD (DVP-NC685V) and PC to replace my Rotel 1072 (which I planned to sell to fund the purchase). I have been playing around with various configurations...

Slow day at work, so I was bouncing around web sites. I came across these speakers that look interesting. http://www.lightningsound.net/index.html Anyone heard of these? I'm not familiar with the the various technologies out there, but this guy seems pretty confident that his speakers will...

I currently have a Rotel 1072 CD that I use whenever I sit down for serious listening. This is being played through outlaw processor (in bypass mode) and outlaw amp, into my pair of Claritys and REL sub. I also have a 5 disc DVD player for casual use (i.e. the wife, entertaining, etc). I have...

OK, inspired by the recent thread about digitizing the music collection, I started to investigate this. Much to my surprise, I was able to acquire a 250GB NAS drive for incredibly cheap at Frys ($160, including enclosure and drive). I downloaded iTunes and started ripping my CD's, as I sit and...

I am about to break ground on a new house. This time around, I have the opportunity to optimize the room, within a budget of course. Here's what we currently have in the drawings. The component cabinet will be the back of the room (on the left), with the screen and main speakers on the right...

Well, this is sort of ML related, but I figured I try to get ideas here. My wife and I are designing a house right now, and I'm tyring to figure out how to do the AV for the house. I will be setting up the home theater in a dedicated room using my current equipment. Our living room will be...
