    what is your budget as suggestions will vary greatly



    here are two others im aware of
    Ascend Acoustics- Award-winning audiophile loudspeakers and subwoofers for home theater and music, factory-direct. Rythmik subwoofers now available.




    most of us build our own as in the mission accomplished threads- thats my recomendation too

              I'd also recommend Magnepan.

              SVS is just now starting to make speakers, but are starting with their lower-end and haven't made it to their high-end products yet.

              SVS builds speakers, subwoofers and audio accessories for music and home theater surround sound systems. Proudly engineered in Youngstown, Ohio.

                What kind of sound should one expect. Will there be enough bass?

                      Depends what "enough" bass is. I ran them with a woofer XO'ed at 250 AND a sub.

                      But other than the bass, therre is nothing else that will touch these at this price.

                        I don't care what the speaker is, use a subwoofer to do the low bass, not the speaker.

                          DTC-9.4: How do I restore factory settings?
                          by Amy R
                          My dad was over and accidentally hit some button(s) on my husband's DTC-9.4, and now I don't know how to fix it.

                          I can't get a feed - the TiVo is working (I see the TiVo menus, and it is still recording shows), but the only thing on the TV is a black screen. I can watch shows previously...

                          TV recomendation
                          by Andrew Pratt
                          Guys my boss is looking to buy a TV that will likely be about 32" or so. He's only going to be watching 4:3 cable and the odd DVD on it but wants HDTV compatibility for the future...he tends to keep gear for a LONG time. Anyway my recomendation was a 4:3 HDTV ready TV but I thought I'd ask you...

                          Hi guys, please tell tell me what you think regarding this issue. I would really appreciate your feedback.

                          I have recently went to a dealer to test amps that I might consider as my next upgrade. While I was there I have listened to the Arcam AV8 and Bryston Amp. The movie sound was great,...

                          RSP-1098 and factory installed DPLIIx?
                          by macman
                          Anyone heard when Rotel may start shipping 1098s with Dolby Pro-Logic IIx from the factory? I'm ready to purchase, but I'd like to avoid the hassle of needing to upgrade right after my purchase, if I can. Now that the 1068 was introduced with DPLIIx from the factory, maybe the 1098 will follow soon?...

                          Time to wake up this sleepy board!

                          There has been discussion in another forum about the Direct mode being utilized on the digital input. Apparently there are a few who think this sounds better then stereo mode with upsampling. Prior to reading this, it had never even occurred to me that...
