The times are just estimates, afaik. Sometimes they come sooner than expected, sometimes later.

People will accuse me of being negative again. However, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't let you know about a friends system that looks similar if not the same. The cable somehow jammed on one corner, creating an angle as it was raised. A few ite

Watched Dark Shadows last night. I thought the first half of the movie was excellent. But the 2nd half just became too boring, and seemed too long at times.

I don't have any A/B comparison I'm able to do. But I presume the "normal" construction MDF Box construction would be the "best" and other formats would have some form of compromise but....?

well, I went and got it and hooked it up a couple of hours ago. I already love it. I very much prefer it already over the Marantz. I went through all the Marantz's menus and features and it felt shallow and left something to be desired, for a &quo

I made some minor changes to my HT room plus dropped my 2 X Velodyne Subs' Volume to 2.0 from 2.5 - so I re-ran Audyssey today. Interestingly, while Audyssey set my QS4s & VP100 crossovers to the expected 80Hz, I was surprised to see that my M22

Glad you liked the writeup Chess. I think Lailey offered the best value for money by a good margin that day. I tried the Chardonnays and really liked them: oaked and unoaked. My dad picked up an unoaked Chardonney, so I picked up the Riesling. I

Thanks for the tip. I think I might have thought the 180/m80s needed to be further from the rear wall confused with Magnepan MMGs. 4" is no problem... I still haven't moved into the target house (being built) and don't yet have the console (l

I do have that exact setup, and I think it works great. I can only offer a subjective comparison to my previous Onkyo 9.2 receiver used with the same speakers, and I think the Pioneer sounds much better. My current favorite mode for the 1522-K is &

Blue lasers sound an awful lot like blue LEDs. Put me down as wanting termination that way. I thought the general goal here was to post photos and make other people spend their money. Did I misread the mission statement?

I guess that our renos are not that significant when considering that our house is probably worth the ridiculous market price of $600K or more - about 3X the price that we paid in 1996. At the moment, there are a couple of waterfront houses across t
