Home Audio

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Yqrw4yBuiBZ/c...mp;I=580HTS700B I'm pretty new to the HT scene and I was wondering how do u guys think that setup would do me to start off? I was looking for something nice to go with my Samsung 32" HDTV and PS3 to play my blu-ray movies on and video games. P.S. i'm looking for a good 5.1 setup. with a good reciever, 80 watts to the 5 speakers and like 1 sub that can handle 200 watts and sounds clear and deep. i'm up for getting one of those powered subwoofers if i find a good option that doesn't have all the speakers and reciver bundled. I've got around a $600 budget.

i keep seeing these in the ad bar on this site and the price looks really good http://fluance.com/fluan5speaks.html?gclid...CFQMngAodZzDx0A either thah or these: http://fluance.com/fluanhigthre.html my living room would look nice with either one. i like having a set of full range towers instead of separate pieces

Right now I have an MJ18-M in 11 cubes net tuned to 20hz with about 650 watts. I was wondering if I would get more output with an 18" Nightshade at the low end in the same enclosure? I listen to music about 15% and watch movies and play games 85%. I have a behringer EP1500 watt amp. Is it worth switching or not? I can get a trade for the nightshade is why I am asking. WinSD shows about the same spl.

So I know this will sound completely noob-tastic, but I was wondering how you would power a sub if you wanted to make a high power home audio setup.

Someone posted up some macro pics of these absolutely beautiful drivers a while back. I think it might have been NDMStang, but I'm not sure. I think they were posted on this forum so that is why I am posting this here. It was a smaller (6"?) driver with a carbon fiber cone and chrome phase plug. I remember reading something about them being produced, but I never saw anythng about them again. Anyone know what I am talking about or have I had too many drinks on Cinco de Mayo?

looking to add a nice home theater setup along with a sub, im into good lows and very powerful bass in movies and music what would be a good driver+amp combo? im guessing i would have to buy a amp, no receiver would put out enough power i wouldn't think

I was wondering where you guys get your home theater components. Speakers, amps, crossovers. I am looking @ rebuild my home theater from the ground up and was wondering where everyone shopped for the parts.

ok well im sure some of you have heard about "HORNETS NEST" over on floridaspl.com....this guy gets 1/2 off retail on any rim/tire combo on superbuytires, etc...he told me he does plasma's/lcds too....i need an lcd for the new house, that will also be used as a pc monitor (mounted on my wall) my question is, what brand/model should i go with? i dont need anything TOO expensive, but i want at least 42"...im thinkin samsung or sony?

some opinions on which Audio Technica headphones to buy would be helpfull. ath-m30 or ath-pro5v/pro5ms i am set on ATs, i've always been happy with them.

so i finally hooked up my new yamaha 661 with my new behringer ep 2500. just used my sub out to an rac to an rca.xlr adapter. just temporarily hooked it up to my ported kicker til i decide what ht set-up i want. now here's my problem. there is almost no output from my sub, with much more power then my speakers i can't even hear it because when i turn it up my new ep2500 almost instantly goes into clipped and kills the signal. any ideas? i'm such a newb to ht it hurts

From what I can tell, this guy has the DartZeel Pre and power amps ($20,000 each), Pass Labs X1 or x0.5 preamp (about $15,000), 4 of the compression drivers on the sub-horn (I've seen similsr drivers at $8-10,000 each), Some crazy ass tube amps for the upper midrange (If I had to guess..... $40,000 each), a Zanden CD transport and DAC (that's another $40,000), and more crazy ass tube amps for the lower midrange (let's say $20,000), a PS Audio conditioner ($5,000 or so), it looks like an SME 30/10 turntable ($40,000 with a no doubt expensive cartridge), and maybe another $10,000+ in wires. That's close to $300,000 in stuff. Then have the horns custom molded for his yard, a…

already picked up the mids a while back and now i'm finally getting around to putting this all together. my question is, which brand or type of components should i order to build the crossovers. here is the parts list. however, following the recommendation when used as desktop/near field R2 = 4ohm. here is the list i put together, just want to make sure im not spending too much, or not enough.. i have to place an order for speakers (bro's build), so shipping will be free from parts express. (could place the order through another site) 30 ohm 4ohm .4 mh board 4.3 uf cap .8 mh =30 bones

Well at work some lady brought in an old Zenith Solid State turntable. I wasn't sure about the model number. All I found was this number(Z565W-157309) and a google search got me nothing. It works and everything but the lady said it sound "horrid". My first guess was that the electrolytic coupling caps are bad and probably those in the PS supply. Should I go ahead with replacing the larger electrolytics or does anyone have any other suggestions where to start?
