    Looking for a new Music Setup..

    There isn't a lot of benefit to going with 5.1 for a primarily music setup, I'd recommend going with 2.1 There have been a few threads about this in the past, but generally for speakers you options are bookshelf speakers + amp vs. powered monitors. When I made this decision a few months ago, I...

    Which comes first: Amp or Speakers Purchase?

    It depends, in some cases buying an amp first is a bad idea if it turns out it'll provide insufficient power given you needs. You'll want to know speaker sensitivity, listening distance, and desired maximum output to determine how much power you'll need. Also, are you talking about purchasing a...

    Anyone here use studio monitors for a 2.1 multi-purpose setup?

    I was strongly considering getting A7s but then I snapped to my senses and realized I had set a budget of 500 max for speakers and the nearly 100% increase wouldn't be worth it. There are a few reviews out there, mainly on forums like head-fi and avsforums, where people have compared A5 vs A7. I...

    Anyone here use studio monitors for a 2.1 multi-purpose setup?

    I'm using Adam A5s for my computer setup right now, I've ordered a sub (eD A3S-250), just waiting on it to be built. I'm really happy with the A5 monitors, I was using a Klipsch Promedia 5.1 setup previously.

    Advice on sound system for a gym?

    I'm guessing your priorities will be durability, simplicity, and volume (and less sound quality). My recommendation would be to look into active PA speakers. Conceivably, you could hook your system up using wireless transmitter/receivers, simplifying setup further..

    Unfortunately looking for excellent headphones

    I was in the same position a couple of years ago and I went with an HD650 + Little Dot amp (MK IV). I got in on the 35% Bing CB for ebay when I bought my amp so I got a fantastic deal. There are a lot of fans of LD over at head-fi, check out the reviews.

    Yet another Computer speaker thread (YACST)

    My Klipsch 5.1 Promedia set finally died after 6 years of near-constant use. I upgraded to a pair of Adam A5s and an eD A3S-250, they should arrive soon. A few questions to ask yourself: What's your upper budget limit? What are you using this for? % breakdown of HT/music/gaming Do you want...

    Anyone here able to fully enjoy their HT living in a condo/townhouse?

    My townhouse was original a single family home, the other unit was built as an addition a few years ago. As a result, the dividing wall was built as an exterior wall and blocks out sound very well. I'm using Salk Song series and a Rythmik F12SE for a 5.1 setup. From my testing (playing music...

    Shipping from amazon.co.jp to the US

    The types of items that can be internationally shipped are pretty limited, its essentially just books. I'm guessing it has something to do with import laws. You'll need to find either a friend in Japan to facilitate or use a 3rd party importer.

    List of best DVD/Blu Ray of a title to own?

    Cross-referencing the list of movies with good bass (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=755493) and their IMDb rating would also be good criteria, depending on what you're trying to optimize for.

    Bing Cashback Weirdness

    If you bought two items, it'll show 2 cashback rewards. They're itemizing purchases now in order to bracket low price items into lower cashback percentages. If you didn't buy two things, maybe it's a glitch or an adjustment.

    ATOT Chefs: Put water in bottom of pan for stuffed peppers?

    I've seen some recipes that say you should, but I've done it with and without and it doesn't make a difference, the pepper has tons of water inside of it. For recipes that tell you to put uncooked rice inside, those might use up some of the pepper's water reserves, but I always precook my rice.
