Thanks again, Bill. I'll check out the SR5004/6004 receivers. Any comment about the two THX AV receivers that Marantz offers? Are the names of these two THX AV receivers indicative of their being the only Marantz AV receivers that can play THX recorded movies? For that matter, I don't recollect ever seeing THX movies being offered for sale or for rentals. How much "in vogue" are THX recorded movies for use at home? Is it worth considering THX receivers for HT playback, or would money be better spent on getting upgraded DVD players?

Thanks Bill. I want to remember reading somewhere that the Klipsch company (or Mr. Klipsch) recommended not exceeding 100 watts per channel. Did I read correctly about keeping under 100 watts/channel for Heritage speakers ... and why the 100 waltts threshold? I haven't purchased anything yet for my living room music and HT. So, are the two following points correct? (1) If I got the PM8003 to accommodate SA-CD music ... it will only play two channel SA-CD music ... and will only play 2.0 Home Theater (HT). If I wanted to use the PM8003 fo have 3.0 through 5.1 HT playback, I would have hook the PM8003 to a surround processor. And if I were sticking to Marantz components (oranges to oranges), then to use the PM8003 for surround sound, I would have to buy the only AV processor that Marantz sells: The AV8003 pricetag is $2,600. (2) If I did not buy the PM8003, and bought the SR5004 instead ... I would not need to hook the SR5004 to a surround processor. I could use the SR5004 to play SA-CD music in both 2-channel stereo or multi-channel. And I could watch movies in 3.0 through 5.1 HT playback. If both of the above points are correct, then the savings by going with the SR5004 would be significant, if you want to play both SA-CD music and also 3.0 through 5.1 HT. I guess I would have to ask: What's the catch? Meaning, would there be a significant difference in SA-CD music sound quality ... between the PM8003 two-channel system ... and the SR5004 multi-channel system?

Thanks Olorin. To give an idea of the price range for sound systems, following are the Marantz components that I originally targeted for my living room's hi fi stereo. I chose them from the Marantz "Hi Fi Components" page : (1) SA8003 SA-CD player. (2) PM8003 Integrated amplifier. (3) ST7001 AM/FM Stereo Tuner. Would any of the above three components accommodate 3.0 through 5.1 HT? Here is a link to the Marantz products: < http://us.marantz.com/762.asp >. The Marantz website has one page for hi fi ... and two pages for AV components: (a) AV Receivers and ( AV Separates. What is the purpose of advertising the AV Separates page ... separate from ... the AV Receivers page? If I buy only Heritage speakers (Cornwall and Heresy), which require relatively low watts per channel due to efficiency, then should I only be looking at the Marantz AV Receivers page and disregard the Marantz AV Separates page?

Thanks for the info, dtel. Actually, I figured a way to narrow the search. In the Klipsch search window ... type the following minus the quotation marks: "Cornwall AND sideways". It may make a difference, that when typing the word "and" to upper case the word as "AND". There's good information that can be found about vertical Cornwalls, mirror-vision verticals, the Klipsch logic for stopping the mirror-vision verticals, and the basic understanding that all Cornwall versions can be played upright or on its side. In all the threads that can be found from the above search, it was stressed on the importance of having the horns at ear-level. I apologize for the continuing questions, and still would like to hear input from those who have their Cornwalls on their sides. I will try all geometrical options as you kind responders have advised, but it will be an adventure moving the pair of pine buffets from one side of the house to the other. Nothing that a hot bath won't cure, I suppose. And here's one question, that I've yet to see anyone ask, so can anyone anwer this question or have actually tried it: Would there be any issues in placing Cornwalls ... upside down ... if they are going to be played three feet above the floor ... with the logic of having the horns close to ear level (while sitting)? To play the Devil's advocate, you could get a Cornwall closer (and more centered) to the wall corners than you could if the Cornwalls were on their side, from a table-top that is three feet above the floor.

Hello, I'm Steve and I'm ... home theater challenged. Wait a minute ... this is the home theater anonymous meeting, isn't it? I've been planning a simple stereo setup that can also suffice as a two channel home theater (HT) setup. So, I knew I would not have to be very nitpicky when choosing an integrated amplifier, as long as it could play two channels for a pair of L/R speakers. I now see the music & HT setup morphing soon to a L/C/R (3.0) ... with a pair of Cornwall 3's and one Heresy 3. Quite possibly in the not too distant future, I may want to expand to a 5.0 ... with a pair of Cornwall 3's and three Heresy 3's. When targeting for an integrated amplifier, I only had two channel playback in mind. The Marantz PM8003 looks very promising, to be married up with the Marantz SA8003 SACD player, for two channel stereo music. My question is, if I buy the Marantz PM8003 for two channel today ... and decide to engage a center channel for my HT ... would the PM8003 be able to accommodate 3.0 HT setups? For that matter, can the PM8003 handle all the following HT setups: 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 5.0, 5.1? If the PM8003 can handle all the above six HT setups (2.0 thru 5.1), how can you tell that it can handle all these, when reading the PM8003 literature at the following link? < http://us.marantz.com/Products/2570.asp > Steve

Hello. I'm trying to read comments from Klipsch audiophiles, who have Cornwalls that are positioned on their side. Because the desired spot for Cornwalls in my home would be three feet above the floor, it would be reassuring to hear from others who have found it necessary, to place their Cornwalls on their side, so that the mid-range horns are at ear-level (when sitting). The theads about "vertical Cornwalls" are a moot point, as these are no longer made. I tried just doing a search with the word "Cornwall" on the Klipsch forum, but got thousands of hits. How best to conduct a search on the Klipsch forums, to read from those who have experience with Cornwalls that are positioned on their sides? Along with advice about how to search on Cornwalls positioned on their sides, I would appreciate feedback from those who have their Cornwalls on their sides. It would help us to know why you have them on their sides, and the net result to the sound quality. Steve

Hello. Working on an idea to place a pair of Cornwall III speakers on either side of an 18 foot wall. Centered between the speakers is a fireplace that will not be used. For aesthetics and to maximize floor space usage, I'm planning on having the speakers sit (sideways like a "vertical Cornwall") on top of a pair of pine buffets. Here are the dimensions of each buffet: 36" H x 60" W x 19" D. In order to increase the WAF, of replacing our tiny home theater (HT) Bose speakers with the Cornwalls, I was thinking of building an audio/visial cabinet that I can set our 52 inch widescreen television on. The cabinet would flushed against the front of the fireplace. It would need to be low to the ground ... so that the height of the television ... plus the height of the HT cabinet's middle column of (a tri-column cabinet) stays under the fireplace mantle that is 45 inches above the area where the HT cabinet would go. The television is attached to a stand, and considering the size of the television, the footprint of the television is relatively small, so there should be no problem with the television stand being wider than the middle column of a tri-column HT cabinet. The tri-column cabinet can be as wide as 85 inches. To further increase the WAF, I would like to use the same pine material that the buffets were made with. The buffets are built like a tank with 1.75 inch slabs of pine, so it would be nice to build a HT cabinet with 1.75" pine. Then I could stain the cabinet to match the pine buffets. But if the 1.75 inch thickness for an HT cabinet would be counter-productive for any efficiency reasons, such reasoning would be very useful to know. Maximum HT shelving could be possible if I built a tri-column cabinet: The middle column, where the television stand would go, could have just one shelf in order to keep the television below the fireplace mantel. The Left & right columns could have two shelves, as long as the left & right columns remain underneath the left & right edges of the television. I would rather have a simple design, possibly with a bookshelf quality, and to not use glass encasement of the hi fi equipment. My reason being to allow heat dissipation. Another reason is to have the HT cabinet match a possible construction of a large bookshelf for one of the living room walls, that is made of the same pine material as the buffets and HT cabinet. WAF Strategy: Honey, I'll build you a bookshelf if I can have some Cornwalls ... I could describe to a carpenter, the dimensions of the HT components that need to be shelved, so that the carpenter has an idea of how wide, high, deep the shelves need to be. But I'm wondering if there are existing "blueprints" that are available that are more explanatory for the carpenter? Are there websites that give step-by-by procedures, and recommendations to follow, when building HT cabinets? Along with suggested websites, are there building tips that this forum can provide, when building an HT cabinet that will accommodate your stereo and your HT electronic equipment? For example, the cabinet I have in mind will have five cells: Two on the left column, One on the middle column, Two on the right column. Each cell would be dedicated to storing one stereo or HT electronic device such as a tuner, pre-amp, DVD player, turntable. I'm assuming that the sizes of the stereo equipment would not fluctuate that much down the road, but I don't know about size fluctuation for DVD players. Maybe have the middle cell the biggest of the five, for the DVD player? For another example: The cells should be big enough to allow easy access and to make it easy to clean the area, since dust would get into the open-designed cabinet cells. Your building tips for a five-cell ... three column ... HT cabinet would be appreciated. - Steve It would also be a big help to know how deep an open-shelved HT cabinet should be. Wouldn't it be useful, for the cells to be deeper than the electronics, as far as keeping dust off of them?

Thanks, everyone, for input about Hi Fi stands. The money monster has eaten some of my home theater savings, so I have more time for planning. One thing I'm wondering on whether it's necessary to plan for, is heat build-up inside the A/V stands. For example, last year, I bought a computer desk that allows you to contain your computer inside a closed cabinet door. I kept my computer contained in my desk for a few months, but had to re-position the computer to just sit on the floor, just beside the desk. The reason for removing the computer from inside the desk, was a lot of heat build-up from the computer mini-tower. The links that everyone provided, to a/v stand websites, are giving me great ideas. My new approach is to find a wide (below 85 inches) and low (below 24 inches) cabinet, where I could set my TV on top of the a/v cabinet, and still have the TV below the fireplace mantel. The fireplace mantel is 45 inches above the base of the fireplace chamber, which the a/v cabinet would be positioned. There are some a/v cabinets that are listed on the websites that everyone provided, where the hi fi components would be contained behind glass doors. Are there any concerns about heat build-up. You'll note, that although the OP is about vertical hi fi stands, all the pasted pictures of vertical stands in this thread are of the open design ... the hi fi components are not "sealed" behind glass on these vertical stands. So, the question, is whether there is any concern about heat build-up ... in 85 inch wide and 24 inch high ... from up to five electronic hi fi components ... if these components are sealed behind glass doors?

Hello. Is there a drawing or snapshot, which includes the measurement in inches or centimeters, of all speakers on the face of Cornwall III speakers (behind the grill)? If so, is it possible to paste the drawing or snapshot in this message? I have a need to check for obstruction in front of the speaker positionings, and it would help me to know the distances of the internal speakers from each other on the face of the Cornwall III speakers, and also the distances of the internal speakers to the perimeter of the face of the Cornwall III speakers. Steve

Those are interesting grills on your speakers, muel. How old are your Cornwalls? Also, any particular reason why you have the bottom of your speakers facing away from the center of the room, instead of facing towards the center of the room? Seeing as how you had to hoist those buggers up the mountain with a scaffold, I don't know if you experimented much with the speaker bottoms ... facing away and then towards ... the center of the room. But perhaps we vertical Cornwall wannabes could benefit from your experience if any. If I moved my pine buffets to the left & right corners of my 18 foot wall, in order to place Cornwalls sideways on them, I would not be able to have the Cornwalls at a 45 degree angle ... see the dimensions of the Cornwalls and the buffets in the OP. I could have them at about a 20 degree angle, but that would mean that the front corners furthest from the room-center would be protruding over the front edge of the buffets. I mention this for two reasons: 1. The Cornwall's rear corners closest to the room-center would be close to the 18 foot wall, and the rear corners furthest from the room-center would be about a foot from the 18 foot wall. Would this suggest to the forum whether the bottom of my Cornwalls should point toward or away from the room-center? 2. I believe that Cornwall recommends Cornwalls to be as close to the corners of the room, to have the most bass-enhancement of the Heritage speakers. If I have my Cornwall speakers three feet above the floor, and toed-in about 20 degrees, should I be considering the need of a subwoofer to be added to the two-channel system? Input to the above questions, and advice from those who have either elevated or sideways-positioned Cornwalls, would be appreciated.

Hello. I'll be buying a Marantz SA8003 SACD player, for my living room's home theater & music stereo setup. Both the Marantz PM5003 Integrated Amp, and the Marantz PM8003 Integrated Amp, can be used with the SA8003 SACD player. 1. Anybody familiar with these two Marantz integrated amps, and is there a significant difference in their sound quality? 2. Does the second amp (PM8003) ... having the same number as the SA8003 SACP player ... supposed to indicate that these two are supposed to be purchased together? Originally, I was planning on using a Pair of Heresy III speakers for my two channel (and subwoofer) home theater, and assumed that either of these two Integrated Amps would be fine with the HIII's. However, I'm leaning more and more on getting a pair of Cornwalls for my home theater & music stereo player. 3. How would the Marantz PM5003 and the PM8003 compare, if being used with a pair of Cornwall speakers? Would both of these do justice for a pair of Cornwalls, or should I consider a Marantz "Reference" Integrated Amp? Steve

Thanks everyone, for your comments. I googled < Klipsch, "vertical cornwalls" > and got this link: < http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/59215/578788.aspx >. This thread gives pretty good information about what I beleive Ave was referring to: the vertical cornwall. Be advised that this thread is about five years old. My eyes are pooped from a long day, but did I read the following two points correctly ... from the above link that I pasted? 1. Cornwalls are not stocked ... they are made when ordered. When you order, you can specify whether you want a "vertical cornwall". 2. When asked if there was a difference in sound quality between the normal Cornwall (and normal Heresy) ... and the "vertical Cornwall" (and vertical Heresy) ... Mr. Klipsch's answer was no. So, if I read the above two points correctly, is it permitted to order your Cornwalls to be built in the "vertical" geometry, so as to have all the internal drivers lower to the surface that the Cornwalls are setting on? And if it is permitted to order your Cornwalls to be built in the "vertical" geometry, is this so much of a standard practice, that Klipsch currently provides lots of vertical Cornwalls to its customers? Please remember the OP's specs: 2-channel system ... speakers at L/R corners of 18 foot wall ... considering having Cornwalls setting on sturdy pine buffets that are three feet high ... primary listening spot is couch that is centered between the speakers and ten feet in front of the 18 foot wall. Would vertical Cornwalls sound better than normal Cornwalls?

Temporary definition, lest I be cast adrift on the ship of 10 links per thread: < http://home.earthlink.net/~joesarno/pictures/BLONDIE2.JPG > I'll clean up future AA directories, if this turns out to be useful to everyone, to minimize thread-size in the directory updates, and so Amy doesn't take me to the wood-shed for excessive links.

Thank you all, for providing input that goes beyond text-book definitions. I'm learning very much from this forum. I would like to contribute, while learning, by buiding on the following "AA" list. If I see acronyms that I either don't know or think would be a good addition to the AA list, I'll add them to the list. I can maintain a Word file of these acronyms & terms, then cut'n'paste an updated list periodically. I'll post this list in the 2-Channel Audio forum, but we can also add acronyms from the other forums such as the Home Theater forum.

Thanks laager and Ave. I was not able to see the jpeg picture that laager provided, so will try to view on another computer. I am confused about the mentioning of a vertical Cornwall, unless you mean to rotate the Cornwall 90 degrees? So, an additional question please: Any experience with placing your Cornwalls on their side, when setting them above the floor level, or mounting them above the floor? Pros and cons? Pics of rotated Cornwalls that are set (or mounted) above the floor would be appreciated, if you have any handy.

Hello. I've been working on plans to set up a home theater system, with the following specs: Two channel system, with speakers at left & right of an 18 foot wall. The wall-mounted TV would be centered in the middle of the left & right 2-channel speakers (and a subwoofer). The main listening area would be the living room couch ... centered between the left & right 2-channel speakers ... and 10 feet in front of the wall-mounted TV. The living room segways into the kitchen, with no wall separating these two rooms. It's in effect a large rectangular area that contains the living room area and kitchen area. To maximize floor-space use, I was thinking about putting a pair of heavy pine buffets at the left/right corners of the 18 foot wall, and to "bookshelf" the 2-channel speakers on top of the buffets. Actually, the speakers would just be sitting on top of the buffets. The buffets are made of 1.74" slabs of pine, so they can support a lot of weight. My original and perhaps final plan was to use a pair of Heresy III speakers. But I'm now considering the possibility of using Cornwalls. Here are dimension comparisons of each speaker and each buffet: * 24" H x 16" W x 13" D ... Heresy III * 36" H x 25" W x 16" D ... Cornwall III * 36" H x 60" W x 19" D ... Pine Buffet Questions please: 1. Does anyone have experience with placing their Cornwalls so high above the floor? How high were they, and what were they sitting on? 2. What are the pros and cons of having Cornwalls sitting on a buffet that is three feet high, and not sitting on the floor? 3. Because the Cornwalls have 15" woofers, and a really low frequency response, would I lose that "bass sensation through the floor", by having them sitting on thick pine buffets that are three feet high? Would some of the bass sensation ... still be able to travel through the pine buffet ... and then through the wood floor to our living room couch? Steve

If the band does a gig at the home of Boxx, could we ask the bass guitarist to play his instrument from the fireplace? I'm still working out the bugs on hooking a subwoofer in my fireplace, and maybe it'll help to hear some bass coming from somebody else's fireplace. Better schedule the gig before winter sets in, so the fireplace doesn't get too uncomfortable.

Thanks for input, RockOn. How about the following from anyone? * Analog (does this mean vinyl recordings?) * Digital (does this mean CD recordings?) * Comparing Analog to Digital. Apparently a long-going comparison on this forum, but I don't know what this comparison is about. When you are comparing analog to digital ... are you comparing vinyl LPs to electronic CDs?

Hello. I find it very useful, to read how very popular albums go through a sequence of re-mastering and releases. It helps to see them evolve from good ole' stereo ... or just mono (e.g., Little Richard) ... to hybrid SACD disks that apparently have the capability to offer three different playback formats on one disk. In a previous thread, handrewmoore turned us onto a link that provides an archive on how DSOTM evolved through many releases. Click the following link that handrewmoore provided us: < http://www.pinkfloydarchives.com/DUSCDPF.htm#DSOTM1 > How can we access similar online archives, for other popular albums, that have evolved to SACD playbacks? Is there one main website, that has these online archives bundled for the clicking? These archives can show us the history of the albums, the SACD playback formats the releases are capable of playing, and other audiophile coolness. Are there other links besides what handrewmoore provided us, that gives a history of how popular albums evolved through a sequence of re-mastering? Steve

The Dark Side of the Moon (Capitol Records 30th Anniversary SACD 1st issue) ... U.S. pressed 30th Anniversary Super Audio Compact Disc remaster. Repackaged with a 20-page booklet with full lyrics, additional photos, and sticker on cover. Remastered in 5.1 surround by James Guthrie. Stereo version also remastered and on the disc. Being cursed with a mind that uses a dimmer switch instead of an on/off switch, at least the dimmer switch is being turned brighter. Everyone's comments have been very useful to provide a picture of hybrid features. The links everyone has provided are very useful. A question about the link that handrewmoore provided: How to find similar "re-mastering links" for all the other albums being re-mastered into SACDs. This is a very useful learning tool, and I could learn a great deal by reading the re-mastering chronology of these SACD products. Can anyone share knowledge on how to find similar links for re-mastered SACDs ... just as the link that handrewmoore provided for the DSOTM re-mastering? Is the link, that handrewmoore provided, from a main website that also provides release dates and their hybrid playback capabilities for other popular SACD re-masterings?

Further comment, to help me understand stereo versus surround. The above pasting of the 20 dollar release is a multi-channel playback. I think I read somewhere, that the 5.1 playback was released in 2007. I also think I read somewhere, that the Hybrid SACD (stereo???) of DSOTM was released in 2003 ... as a 30th year commemoration? I've read comments that say the (2007?) multi-channel playback is better than the 2003 hybrid playback. First question: Was the 2003 release of their 30th year commemoration, which is simply described as "hybrid SACD" ... a stereo recording designed for two channel systems? Second question: If you are only using a two channel system (L/R speaker and a subwoofer), would the (2007?) 5.1 playback of DSOTM provide better music quality than the 2003 hybrid (stereo???) SACD? Third question: Is there a general point in time (2003, 2004, etc), that if a release ... or re-mastered release ... is simply advertised as a "hybrid SACD", is it safe to assume that the playback is designed for two channel stereo? For that matter, if an album becomes a re-mastered SACD in 2010 ... and if it is clearly DOES NOT advertise the playback as surround or 5.1 or multi-channel ... is it safe to assume that the playback is designed for two channel stereo?

Thanks everyone for your good advice. Being acronym-challenged, what does MFSL stand for? I don't think I've ever heard of this term before. Is there a place that provides a "directory" of audiophile definitions, acronyms, and terms (i.e., audiophile dats)? So, I would not be ostracised from the audiophile community for purchasing the 20 dollar multi-channel hybrid SACD, instead of the Japanese multi-dollar hybrid SACD?

Hello. I've heard great things about the SACD recording of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. However, those who have spoken highly of this recording, do not mention if they are speaking highly of the recording when it's being played back as stereo or played back as surround sound. Those that are raving about the Dark Side also do not mention if it's a 20 dollar disk or a 55 dollar disk.

Format: EMI Hybrid Multichannel/Stereo Japanese Import SACD ($54.99) Questions please: 1. I've searched for this SACD recording, and I can not find Dark Side of the Moon in single layer SACD stereo. Does anyone know if this recording is available in either single layer SACD stereo or hybrid SACD stereo? 2. Is it only the multi-channel SACD recording of Dark Side of the Moon, that is getting all the rave reviews? 3. I have a two channel SACD system: Marantz SA-8001 ... Heresy III L/R speakers ... subwoofer. Would the multi-channel SACD recording of Dark SIde still sound spectacular on my two channel stereo system? 4. Fifty five dollars for one CD? What causes this CD to be so expensive? Is it because it was pressed in Japan? Why would a Japanese pressing be more expensive than an American pressing? 5.
