Best speakers for home theater/voice clarity?
I am not familiar with either the PS3 or the Direct DVR. Do they have digital outputs? If so, are you using the digital or a set of analog outputs? If you are using digital outputs, are they configured to have the digital outputs in 2.0? Are you g... 
Speakers and glue......
I believe both Green Mountain Audio and Mark and Daniel both make speakers of a cast composite material (no wood). I have not heard either, but both have been well reviewed here and elsewhere. They are also reasonably priced and would seem to be a... 
Anyone here tweak any Legacy Focus speakers?
I have previously owned a pair of the pre 20/20 Focus and had no trouble getting bass extension well into the low 20's in my room. I thought their spec extension of 16 hz was optimistic but never found the bass extension lacking below 30 hz. I hav... 
Go with a tube preamp or not?
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions so far. What should I be looking for in a preamp output impedance to get a proper match with my amps? If I am experincing a mismatch, what would the sonic results be? John, thanks for all of the info. Ideal... 
Great speakers for a small room
The Intuitive Design Summit should work very well in a room that size. I heard them in a room slightly larger than yours (maybe 11 by 13) and the sound was amazing. Tight, tuneful bass to the mid 30's; midrange and treble purity that make the word...

Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
I am in debt to Bill for hooking me up with Pat(Rx8man), who is located a reasonable drive from my home. I just spent a fun afternoon checking out Pat's set up. The contrast between his Summit set up and mine was interesting in that Pat has his in... 
Speakers for a 12 x 13 room
If you can audition the Neat Motive 2, they should work well in a room that size. Very nice sound from a small floorstander. 
Speaker Placement Problem
Induction Dynamics makes a monitor that is designed specifically for that. The dealer I heard them at had them in a bookshelf when I listened and they still sounded very good. 
How to integrate phase of a subwoofer with mains?
I have used a little different method than described above to adjust subwoofer phase. If you have a sub where the phase is adjustable by remote you can do it with one person, if not you will need a friend to help. First place the sub in the best p... 
Help me chose: Verity - PBN Montana - Gemme Audio
Could it possibly be because no comments were solicited for those speakers? And most of the people contributing to the thread obviously weren't very interested either........Shakey ShakeydealActually, the Reference 3A Grand Veena is the first spea... 
Speaker suggestions
There are two pair of speakers currently for sale on this site that I would recommend. One is the Ridge Street Audio Sasons at about $5500. The buyer is requiring pickup only on those. The other is the Intuitive Design Summit for about $5000. That... 
Home Theater Preamp/amp advice.
There is currently an Aragon Stage One pre/pro and 2007 amp (200 x 7) for sale for $1750 as a combo and would do exactly what you want. The buyer is also including interconnects for between the two. I have no affiliation with the seller, but have ... 
Looking for new speakers?
I heard some monitors by Induction Dynamics at a dealer a couple of years ago. They were initially set up on stands and I liked the way they sounded. I asked the dealer how they would be closer to the wall. To make his point, the dealer placed the...
