Is that invisible ink you are using?


A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Very nice! The speakers disappear, too.

Just put my order in for a VP-150 v2 (black)
Its going to replace that little bose cube that the vacume never sucks up!

I will run new wire to my receiver and loose the bose left and right mains and use my existing towers.

I would have liked to bought a whole new speaker set up but i'll just get one peice at a time. I'll get the QS8's for the surrounds next then a EP500 and some 80's to finish it off.

Way too much money spent on gaming consoles, you do realize that those 2 units are the sub.

I got my VP150 today and wow the box was alot bigger then i expected.

I wired my towers to the main L & R and ran a new wire for the center. The sub and rears are bose and they sound better with the new front setup!

My test movie was THE FITH ELEMENT in blu-ray using optical and wow its never sounded so good!

The VP150 brings voices to life with such detail. You can hear voices in there true enviroment, rooms , walls , outside ,inside cars etc etc ....

I did notice i had to raise the volume a little higher then before but it helps the rear surrounds and for once it feels like im in the movie!

Can someone help me with my center EQ setup. My yamaha has built in center eq and here are the optional settings.
100 Hz -6 -5 -4 -3-2-1- 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +6
300 Hz
1 kHz
3 kHz
10 kHz
The range is the same on all of them -6 to +6 and i have them all set to zero.

Is there a better way to set it up?

Arc, it isn't likely that someone else can give you an evaluation of whether you should apply equalization to the center channel; it depends on your particular circumstances. Flat may be fine, but some who have had difficulty in understanding dialog have applied a small boost(e.g. 2-3dB)to the "formant frequencies"(roughly 1-3KHz)which are most significant in making speech intelligible. This was done instead of boosting the overall level of the center channel.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
