Bryan, I was just in a Best Buy Magnolia room a few weeks ago listening to these various speakers. First off you bought an amazing, awesome center channel. That center all by itself will easily fill a room with theater level sound. It is worth every penny. For your left and right speakers it is...

Thanks for the ideas guys!

REW and UMIK is the real way to go. I am using the Iphone to kinda of, sort of, in a way, with one eye closed and standing on one foot, try to accomplish about half of REW. But it really did show a major peak I have from 70 to 125hz from my noise floor level. When my A/C kicks on I get a nice...

Audiotools db sound and audio in the Iphone app store.

That's it! Thanks!

Speaker Placement provides by far the biggest benefit to the sound system. It's not "instant gratification" in the sense that you can flick a switch and hear the difference, but it can be one of those things where when you get it right you KNOW it! I used the knowledge gleaned from a video I...

Sadly, my cats have already demanded their stimulus check. Something about ordering cases of canned cat food. They also told me they do not share their food. I think they can be selfish at times!

I think someone like TTocs, Chops, or Twitch posted a video on a class on how to set up speakers using the guys technique that he teaches. I would like to keep that but I don't know where it is in the forums. Can you repost it for me? Someone contacted me for the info and I don't have it. Thanks...

The top tier of the SVS line will mate with anything. The 4000 series or PB -16s etc. You could even go with the 3000 series. Good subs that are engineered right work with any setup. SVS has fantastic subs. The whole top tier of the sub market has really updated over the last 5 years or so, to...

Wait. Doesn't this sound like the perfect excuse to buy brand new speakers? Don't miss the golden opportunity to buy new! Oh and yes you will need a big sub like the Dynamo 1600 to go with them. Let me see, how much of your money can I spend? I'm very good at spending other people's money! :)

Same here. With my unconventional toe in, it seems like I have the center playing when it's just the two ESL's and the sub.

I have just tweaked in my 31 band equalizer and I am convinced it is the single best piece of equipment for inexpensively tuning to the room. I leveled out my huge peaks and have a pretty flat sweep now. Since the couple of pretty big peaks (+12 to 15 db) are gone I can actually listen at lower...

Ok, here are the photos of a very inexpensive system in a 1 bedroom apartment. I have a wife that is NOT approving of my sound system. She would be very happy with just the sound bar. But, she is letting me be me. The first pic shows the crown amp at the bottom underneath the Yamaha receiver...

That is the only sub I would recommend from REL. You want a sub to dig very, very deep. Any sub that has great output down to 20hz is a good sub. This of course is only attainable by the top tier subs made by the few that engineer a good product. You will have (as all subs do) extreme output in...

Russ, I thought about which amp I should buy and I knew no matter what, the Class A/B amp would be well sorted and the technology has been around forever. It puts out nice clean signals, has high slew rate devices and no noise in my system. The Class D amps are really coming on now and are...

I will work on my pics today. I will even include some pics of my extensive room treatments, I have to go do the Quest Diagnostics blood draw today so the pics will probably go up tonight.

Well, I received my Crown XLI 1502 a day early. I bought the Class A/B amp (less expensive) as I knew it would have very good performance with high slew rate devices, unlimited power and headroom for my use and it didn't need any space for cooling. I will most likely never have the fan turn on...

It has been many years since I looked at this stuff, but it looks like he built a decent DC blocker with some high frequency/hash noise blocking too. But, I'm not sure. But it seems that it should work.

CX81 looks good for that!

I take it you only want two channel?
