  1. Did I see grills on one of them? Who in their right mind would try to hide such beautiful woofers with a grill?
  2. What's wierd about my mom's earthquake towers is your supposed to take out the straps. I am still confused about that
  3. I wonder what the weight would be on that big guy?
  4. I think I finally have the cash to pull the plug on a new subwoofer. What I have now is a cheap-o JBL 8" that is pretty gutless to go with my RF-82s. I was thinking of getting the RSW-10D but at $1600 CAD, that's pretty pricey, maybe I can get it for $1200 ish. I was looking around on the AVS Forum and read a bit about this subwoofer kit that is made by Rythmik Audio. I was thinking of getting their DS12 and build this box that they desgined. My room is really tiny and I dont have room for a really big sub and my listening habits are about 70% music and 30% movie. Any comments to help point me in the right direction?
  5. Are you using the RCA connections or the digital connections?
  6. Why not put your reciever on one side and the center on the other?
  7. I got it to work! use this instead here There was an extra %20 on the end
  8. I am having trouble trying to get just the audio off a concert dvd and put it on a CD. I did it once before and it was complicated and I can't remember how to do it. I think I used 4 programs and it took 2 days.... There must be an easier way. Can anyone help me out?
  9. Looks nice! I like the idea of using a CRT TV mount for the centre channel.
  10. Any chance of getting Klipsch to send one of those way up north?
  11. JB Weld is made for metal surfaces I do believe.
  12. At a car stereo place in my city they had built a 35" subwoofer! It was NUTS! It literally shook the whole block it was like an earthquake, until they blew it up with a cheap amp....
  13. By hack do you mean unlock? Unlocking an iPhone lets you use it with other cell phone providers which is good for canadians because we don't have AT&T here. There was a store somewhere in Edmonton that had one that was unlocked and they sold it for like 2 grand lol.
  14. I fairly recently bought a couple of cheap optical cables from the dollar store and they lasted about a month before the ends on both cables broke. You had to wiggle the ends to get a signal to go through. So my advice would be to not buy super cheap ones but get mid priced ones with ends that look sturdy. I have a PS3 in my living room set up just like yours. My reciever doesn't have HDMI so I ran the cheapest monster cable HDMI cable right to the TV. For audio I run the cheapest monster cable optical cable to the receiver. I also use my PS3 as a regular DVD player as well and the picture quality looks great. With the new update for it, it has upscaling for regular DVDs that works pretty good.
  15. I have only seen a few latptops with HD-DVD drives and none of them can burn a HD-DVD, they are only HD-DVD ROM drives. I have also never seen a Blu-Ray drive in a laptop yet so I don't think laptops are really gonna shift this battle. Also, what makes HD-DVD drives more compatible than a Blue-Ray drive? Most if not all Blu-Ray drives do regular dvds as well.
  16. I believe they lowerd the price to 99 cents recently. But if you bought songs at the regular bitrate with drm it will cost 30 cents each to upgrade.
  17. I Don't think that is a Pioneer Elite receiver. It looks like the VSX-1019TX I think is the name. My first receiver was a Pioneer, it was decent for the JBL cube system I had with it but it got outdated pretty quick.
  18. I bought an iDock for my Denon receiver and found that it's no better than using RCA cables. I find that the audio from an ipod is not as good as a CD unless you rip to a lossless codec like flac or apple lossless codec. With good speakers and a good amp the flaws from low bitrate songs(like 128kbps) stand out a lot. With video, the iDock I have is better because it uses s-video and looks slightly better than the RCA cable. Also with my iDock when you scroll through artists to find a song it scrolls really really slow and that iritates me a lot. As for DVD Player vs Laptop, I like using a dvd player more becuase it's quieter, it has optical audio, and mine can upscale so the picture quality is as good and better.
  19. When can we search for headphones in the dealer locator page?
  20. I think it is because his projector has a native resolution of 1280x720 I believe it was, and projectors and such look their best at their native resolutions. So 720 would look as good or better than 1080 on it.
  21. Most places seem to have the HD-A2/HD-A20/HD-XA2 on sale/clearance because they are being discontinued I believe(that's what I was told at Futureshop). Toshiba has new models out now. The HD-A3, HD-A30, and HD-XA3. I picked up the HD-A3 yesterday and I'm liking it. It's only a few days old and there was an update for it already.
  22. Any idea on where or when we can get these in Canada?
