It states it does not work with satelite TV, and I have Dish Network.

Videogon ForSale: Mccormack SST-1 and DAC-1 Seems an extremely good buy to me!

I think most Americans want the real dirt here. Does "proper kilt attire" mean comando under the kilt or not? If a stray breeze hit 'my boys', I'm not sure how I'd react to that.

Yes, and I hear the pads are upholstered with baby Sea Lion scrotum. Take that Alcantara!

Just now seeing this thread. It's like a domino effect. Sorry to hear about the amp Al. Hopefully you'll be able to get it fixed correctly.

It absolutely interests me. Carly is a real power singer, and this looks like a really good fit. The "Idol" relationship that really interests me more than any would be Adam Lambert as Queen's new frontman. If that should work out I'd be all over that first album.

So these have shown up, and have been installed. They're easy to install and clamp like a son of a gun! You could drag your piece of gear behind the car by the HDMI cable, with this thing installed!

These are for my computer desk. Eventually I'll be building some monitors for my audio rig, but no hurry there. The Omegas were a bit large for my desk. The voice of reason. Also just picked up Apocalypto, Pan's Labyrinth and Bullitt on Blu-ray.

They're mostly intended for home theater use I think. A third could be set horizontally for a center channel. The price was so cheap I had to give them a shot, and yeah I figured the design scheme would be Dusty approved.

Nice looking case Gary! I'd cut out all the metal under the tile. That couldn't hurt to make sure you get enough ventilation. Once mine is recased the full top will be perforated aluminum.

Emotiva ERM-1 Monitors. At $149.00 ea. I couldn't help but try them out. These will go on my desk.

No kidding! That's an amazing deal.

AudiogoN ForSale: Hsu Research HRSW10 I'm not affiliated with this sale in any way. Just seems like a killer deal for someone in the market for some subs.

I was wondering if the drivers looked anything like the Take T. Your description sounds very similar. Makes me wonder why they don't sound as good. They may just get some fidgeting then. I'm also wondering if prodigious power will help flush them out at all? If nothing else it's a cool old phone to take to meets.

Hey you just got free advice from a contractor and an engineer. Not a bad responce IMO. And yes, it looks as thought the trim is thicker to accomodate the carpet.

That overhang is most likely not plywood. Personally I would frame them as you described, but with pressure treated material, then cover the framing with pressure treated 1"x8" material for the risers, because they'll be contacting concrete, and could wick up moisture from it. It looks to me as though the builder cut his plywood a few inches short for the tread material, and probably used some solid pine to face them with. I would secure the pine to the plywood with biscuits and glue.

I'm a bizarre old guy, so they seek me out. That's for another forum. Yeah I read ericj's review of them. I didn't pay much at all though, and I thought they looked really sweet. I imagine they'll get some sort of driver transplant eventually. I've been thinking of a dual SFI Ortho phone, and these look tall enough to accomodate two SFIs per side, so we'll see. Do the 700s look similar?

That is the original bag. I'll have a better stand for it once it arrives.

The packaging was quite impressive, and I thought the test disc was a nice touch.

Pioneer SE-500 piezoelectric headphones.

The Oppo arrived. Quality looking unit, but without a TV as of yet that's all I can say for now. I had HD Satellite installed yesterday, and I'm building some wall boxes for the speakers tomorrow. Will most likely get Tivo HD soon too. Soon, very soon.

Under my desk. They were there when you were here last. I don't let lack of space slow me down. At some point it will all be in a larger space.

Well both of my amps are 500 watts, because mine are the UFW-10, not the ULW-10. However one of my amps quit working and they replaced it with the newer version. It took some time, as there was apparently a bit of work to change it out. I do like the newer amp better, and I set the crossovers a little differently on each sub now to take advantage of the differences in the newer amp.

Quite true. For a smaller footprint I do agree the Carver is impressive. The newer small Velodynes are also very nice. What you want to do with a sub has a lot to do with what sub to buy. The Paradigm reaches very, very deep, but like so many bigger subs it's not that fast. I would look into a larger sub for home theater purposes. For music I too prefer a 10" sub for it's speed and musicality, and most of us will never need to dip down to 20Hz or below for our music listening needs. I have a matched pair of the AV123 UFW10 subs in my audio system, and they're quite impressive, and easy to incorprate into most systems. I also love the balanced inputs! If my new TV prompts me to want to get back into home theater, I'll contemplate a bigger sub for that job.

Yeah yeah yeah, take all the measurements you want. Use all the obscure terms you want. But in the real world, with a realistic budget tkam is right, you need to move more air to get more output. I tried a lot of subwoofers in the day, including Bob Carver's Sunfire True Subwoofer. The big Velodynes consistantly outperformed it. The sub that really impressed me was the Paradigm Reference Servo 15. This sub has been relatively unchanged for about 20 years, and for good reason.
