  1. So what happens if your amp or receiver can only go as low as 8 ohms and you have a speaker that goes below that? Does the the signal not get amplified properly at the frequency responses that dip too low for the amp? If it makes a difference in sound would it be noticeable to the average person?
  2. Where are the wires hiding on those?
  3. I just recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD555s and I love them. My dad had Sennheiser's that I grew up listening to and they always sounded great. I like the big over the ear design because in Canada it gets cold and in the winter time they are perfect. These Sennheiser's I have a great for long periods of listening too, they never make my ears too warm. I use these headphones for music and games mostly and I am ashamed to say I prefer them over my Klipsch speakers for games.
  4. I believe these are the same thing... A bit of a big read for some people like me. http://www.infinitysystems.com/home/technology/whitepapers/cmmd.pdf
  5. Colter, is it possible to ship anything from the refurbished section or ebay store to Canada?
  6. Not a bad way to spend $3800 I guess... Thats what it would cost me here in Canada($.98 to the dollar right now) and thats not including power supply, disc drives, etc... I thought I was nuts to spend 2000 on mine. Edit: I see now that you are in Canada so exchange rate doesn't matter.
  7. Found this is your link -> http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9686804-1.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Crave. This seems like a cool idea to me, probably doesn't sound so good though.
  8. Do you happen to know what the Canadian MSRP might be? And when they will be available in Canada?
  9. I was at London drugs about a week ago to audition the rsw-10d with the RF-82s and it was crazy. I think I had it two notches from minimum volume and I was worried the TV's in the other room where going to fall off the wall. As soon as I get the money for it I will buy it.
  10. So how often do you tube guys have to replace those tubes? It looks like there's a lot of em on that preamp.
  11. I see at least one sub there! Aren't you worried about rattling one of those beautiful speakers off?
  12. I almost bought my RF-82s from London Drugs but I was able to score a good deal on some from a somewhat local home theater specialty store. I am gonna try to get the same deal on a rsw-10d because at 1600 canadian, it's too much and thats double what I paid for the 82s. I am curious....what's the MSRP on the rsw-10d in the states?
  13. LOL that wig is horribly obvious and man she got fat!
  14. More shipping costs? I know the exchange rate was at like $.94 recently so it's not all that.
  15. Wow, PS3, XBOX 360, and a Wii.... Which one do you play most?
  16. I wonder what his power bill is like when he runs all those amps...
  17. Does the 980H have a Faroudja in it? I don't see it on the specs from oppo's website and I am thinking that is why it is cheaper.
  18. I bought a pair of RF-82s and a Denon AVR-2807 about two months ago now and it sounds awesome with Denon. I listen to mostly music, rock and classic rock in particular, and I love the sound. I found that having a subwoofer helps because you can never have enough bass I guess. I have never had a power conditioner but I don't see much of a need for them. I am happy with my sound and I am not willing to spend hundreds and maybe thousands on equipment that might not make a noticeable difference.
  19. LOL! I looked at the JL Audio Gotham g213 and its ridiculous. $11k and 360lbs holy cow. 3800 Watts, 2 13.5" Drivers. Looks purdy though.
  20. There is some sort of dock that they plug into that plugs into the wall. I found the owners manual here -> http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/596/596AUR890.PDF
  21. I had a similar problem when I bought my Denon. It turned out that in my subwoofer option I had it set to LFE and it was only sending the info of the LFE track form movies and such. When I changed it to LFE+Main it sent the LFE track as well as the low frequencies form the mains. This was only an issue when I had my fronts set to large.
  22. The 890 doesn't use the normal infrared signal that the 880 uses. I think it some sort if radio signal but i'm not too sure. It lets you have longer distances and can go through walls and such. I also think you put a special sensor in front of your equipment too. Correct me if I am wrong.
  23. I would use painters tape to make an imaginary screen because electrical tape might peel the paint and/or leave glue behind.
