​try any of them?

ah okay... cause i was gonna say i doubt at that distance speakers of that size become a point source adequately.  but yeah, as general loudspeakers for the whole room that would work.

  you don't actually sit there to listen do you?

  Damn you're thorough.  Thanks for all the research and corrections.       I have no clue What you just said.     Yup, supposed to be brand new, box sealed.  Thanks!  I've been staring at my $4k worth of speakers that are sitting silent and sad next to the TV.  Can't wait 'till it...

while true to some extent, i do believe it's a measure of the professionalism of a company, which often does reflect on certain aspects of the product.  but just fyi, i do believe i have spoken to mr. poon on the phone a decade ago regarding his amp that i owned at the time.  i remember he was...

  Hi.  Thanks for the suggestions.   The Audioengine suggestion is a good example of my problem--I can't find anywhere stating whether the line-outs are volume controlled (i think most are not).  That's why googling was fruitless.  Remember I wouldn't have a problem if the norm was to be...

I used to have some monarchy monoblocks, which were excellent.  sadly, I just googled for a while based on your suggestion and couldn't find any substantial stats on that unit.  on the manufacturer's own site there are no pictures of the back where the connections are.  no stats on the bit and...

well, ....that's the whole problem and why I am asking here.... I was hoping people could cut down on research time and tell me which ones are under $500 and are good, and have volume control.  I have already googled for hours.  these things just aren't in manufacturers' advertisements, as I...

thanks.... i like that it's apogee that manufactures the sabre chip (i think).  i'm very familiar with apogee since they've been doing pro audio since forever.  i took a quick look at the Audio Gd website and well.......... i think i'd hold off for a different brand   do you know of other...

thanks .  looks pretty good.  i don't suppose there are other choices people recommend?

i've had a lot of bourbon and scotch over the last few years and i'd have to say, Oban is my very least liked of them all.   if you're nearby i'd give you my bottle ha ha.   costco has sales on oban once or twice a year, i believe for < $50?  something like that.  last time i saw a girl...

Hi,   I think this is my first thread in many many many years.... but I've always remembered you guys to be super knowledgeable about such things so now that I have this situation, I know where to come!   So, I just bought my first TV, I think in nearly 15 years, about the time I stopped...

all these cars would probably be "money pits".  sorry.  that's why in general you want to lease luxury vehicles, especially european ones.  if you want to buy a luxury car, i'd stick with japanese or american versions which are in general cheaper and easier to maintain.  but buying a luxury car...

best reason to go metric:... so you don't have to buy 2 sets of sockets and wrenches. (snapon has made a fortune off of me. )

just put in my preordered with deepdiscount.com. thanks for letting me know.

hi... thanks for all the suggestions! gonna try them out after i take a shower.... Quote: Try a different source. ...thanks... but mine's pretty good. the problem is probably with me it seems............ thus........ Quote: If you push them in too far/too fast you'll end...

hi. i heard that the 271s and other "s"'s use a mini-XLR? ...anyone know where i can buy these plugs?

switchcraft / neutrik plugs are pro connectors. they're big because they get pulled, yanked, and stepped on. pretty much 99% of pro cables use plugs from either brand. if you want something bulletproof, they're awesome. if you want something to make your home audio system look blingy, they are...

welp, i ended up ordering the pmx200's. the ones i got sounded like the drivers were blown, or couldn't handle the power it was being fed, when the bass eq was turned up on my ipod. so, i'm gonna return them. but otherwise, they were comfortable enough, and didn't move at all, even running hard...

cds aren't scratched--some are brand new, read for first time. it's not the clicking sound you get from scratched cds. it does this sharp sound ever ~1s or so, in varying volumes during certain tracks. sometimes it's more pronounced. varies. i get the same effect from some stand-alone cd...
