    SVS Reviews

    Try the shack. They have a forum devoted to SVS.
  2. Single RCA will work fine. Set the crossover on the sub itself to the max, 120Hz, or whatever. Just crank it all the way up. Then set the crossover in your AVR to 80 to start with. Only one crossover should be used. And welcome to the forum.
  3. That's what you left off your list:Plastic slipcovers for seating - $75.[]
  4. If it's a stuck pixel rather than a dead one, and you can hook the TV to a computer via DVI or VGA, you could try one of the software programs that try to fix stuck pixels. Worth looking into at least.
  5. The Yammy DVD player only does 1080i, the Oppo will do 1080p.
  6. What kind of TV have you got, or planning to get? If you have an extensive DVD library already, you may want to take a look at Oppo DVD players, they've gotten lots of favorable mentions, and the price is right. I'm personally waiting for the HD disc "war" to flame out before buying into it.
  7. I'll let him speak for himself. Read his two posts in this thread. Then check this thread. And if you'd like some more, try this one. And if you want to read his post slamming the majority of the forum members' rigs, see here. His first post in this thread is on the second page, most of the way down. I went off on him a bit on the next page.
  8. Actually, the model looks to be made of sugar, spice, and everything nice. [] Oh, I see, you were talking about the speakers. You should be able to get expanded steel or aluminum like that at a steel supplier, and I'd suggest getting it powdercoated. The steel supplier should be able to cut it to whatever dimensions you want, and likely knows of a powdercoat shop in your area. Or you can mail them to me, I'll get them powdercoated for you for the cost of shipping both ways.
  9. See here, almost all the way to the bottom of the page.
  10. Serious or not, they need someone who successfully completed the fifth grade to write their copy. Here's a direct quote from their web site. "This material can stretch to 1.7 times its weight, allowing for un-presidential travel." I think I'd prefer presidential travel. I hear the inside of Air Force 1 is pretty damned posh. And how do you stretch something a multiple of it's weight? Talk about apples and oranges. I was so thrown by the "un-presidential travel" that I completely missed that the first time.
  11. Start watching for Quintet systems on ebay, etc., and then get a refurb or used receiver. Or buy yourself a new receiver, and give him your old one for Father's day.
  12. I think the sound quality will be horrible through the glass elevator, and leakage out of the shaft might be a concern also. (If it's heard clearly inside the glass elevator, it will be heard clearly outside the glass shaft, right?) I'd look hard for a solution that would use one speaker in the elevator, and some kind of interface with the elevator controller that would fade from one song to another as the elevator moved. The supplier of your elevator equipment may be able to help, I'd think. Even if you have to have some custom electronics work done, the cost difference may not be that much, as you'll only need one speaker/amp/source, instead of 4 of each, and it won't have to be a big amp either. I didn't think I'd ever see someone ask what Klipsch speakers to use for Muzak. []
  13. Crappy cable guy here again. [] OK, unplug your RCA cable from the coax input on the back of the receiver. The ONLY things plugged into the back of the receiver are the cables going to each speaker, and the power cord. That's it, nothing else, no inputs at all. Do you still have the hiss? If you do, then it's the receiver. If not, then it's your source or interconnects. If the above test leads you to suspect the interconnect, get on the computer and look up BlueJeans cables or monoprice.com. I bought from monoprice, very happy with their stuff and the price. Or, stop by BB or CC and get a Monster or whatever.
  14. If you like fiddling with hand tools and such, you might try making one. There's a looooong thread about making antennae here: http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9613 If you don't mind spending some time fiddling with it, it could save you a few bucks. Good luck.
