We, we have an issue. Cats + Dynaudio C1s. I have yet to convince Angela we need a pair of KEF Blades to prevent cat-on-speaker shenanigans (though I try and try). Instead, I purchased the (what I assume to be ridiculously overpriced) IsoAcoustics GAIA III speaker isolators. Hoping the rubber...

When we first moved into our downtown condo, I pondered downsizing the living room system. It consists of Monitor Audio Platinum bookshelf and center channel speakers across the front, no surrounds, SVS PC-2000 Pro, Anthem AVM 50v pre/pro, and Anthem PVA-5 amp. The layout is far from ideal with...

My first real subwoofer was an SVS 20-39 PCi. Today I'll be taking delivery of an SVS PC-2000 Pro. This will be going in our living room which has been running just a 3.0 system since we moved here a little over four years ago. Hopefully this concludes my subwoofer journey as I'm very satisfied...

@heeman, Our speakers are now obsolete. :rolleyes: https://www.whathifi.com/news/dynaudio-previews-revised-confidence-speaker-range-munich-2018

I haven't read every post but there is definitely some good content, including several posts by Floyd Toole, in a shootout thread between the Revel Salon2 and JBL M2. This post talks about testing speakers in mono vs stereo and also discusses trained vs untrained listeners.

Fun little quiz; I scored a 90 with Level 8 doing most of the damage... http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/quizzes/a53982/movie-quotes-quiz/

A couple of weeks ago I was involved in the AVS Forum 2017 KC HT Crawl. Jeff Permanian of JTR Speakers left behind a pair of 212HT speakers and a Captivator 4000 ULF subwoofer for well-known KC members to pass around and audition. Having heard the Captivator during the crawl, I feared that it'd...

As I mentioned in another thread, the KC area is hosting a pretty big HT crawl in a couple of weeks with several vendors attending and AVS Forum members flying in from across the country. The day after the main event we're planning on having a blind amp test for those interested. I'm...

I have a pair of short speaker stands that I'd like to convert to amplifier stands. Here's a pic of what I have: Here's a link to the full specs: https://amzn.com/B000OONBZ8. I'm going to have two hefty amps at the front of the new HT and I'd like to have each on a stand instead of just...

We've hired an awesome company called Studio Build to redo our fireplace, spiral staircase, and construct the home theater. They have little experience with the latter but do have an experienced contact they've worked with before and a willingness to do what it takes to get the job done...

I'm a pretty big Ryan Adams fan and Tay Tay's "1989" album has a couple of annoyingly catchy tunes so I couldn't resist checking this out. Adams said he was going for a Springsteen "Nebraska" vibe with his covers. Thus far I have to say my fav is Blank Space...

Fun show, definitely DVR so you can skip through commercials. New episodes are Thursday nights and they've been showing previous episodes before the new one.

I've never been much of a headphone guy and mainly just use them as a practical way to block out distractions at work where we no longer even have cubes (currently using Audéo PFE 122s). That said, I did enjoy reading all the headphone/amp/DAC comparison threads posted by PaulyT, Walls, and The...

These guys always bring it with their videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZB_rGFyeU As a reminder, they also did the killer treadmill video a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA

Spent some time with my oldest brother this weekend and he mentioned A.V. Undercover which I had never heard of. Basically, they make a list of songs and invite bands to come to their studio and perform one. Once a song is performed it's scratched off the list. I haven't spent much time there...

In mid-April I ordered a JTR Captivator S1, a sealed 18" sub, to replace my three PSA XV-15s. Unfortunately there's been a delay with the driver and it'll be at least two more weeks. During the wait, I started second-guessing my choice thinking the S1 might not be enough for my open-in-the-back...

Anyone know how to do a hard-reset on new Integra models (xx.4)? I bought a 20.4 to use in the rec area of our basement and it's forcing me to go through Audyssey setup before I can do anything else. Unfortunately, at the end of this process it says to unplug the setup mic. I do as I'm told and...

It began a while ago; no clue when it will be done: Here's some of the stuff that will be going in the basement, not necessarily in the HT area:

Just saw a commercial for Crossroads on CMT tonight, 9/27, at 9/8 pm featuring Mumford & Sons with Emmylou Harris. I will definitely be checking that out. Saw the commercial while watching Later w/ Jools Holland on Palladia - looks like they have several back-to-back episodes on this evening...
