Trade wars have economic consequences and one of them is higher prices. AV equipment manufacturer Emotiva has sent out an email with a link to its blog  announcing imminent increases in the price of its products  as a direct consequence of the 25% tariffs being imposed upon imported Chinese...

Let me start with this is my first thread to AVS Forum! Being a Definitive Technology fan for years, I wanted to give my two cents on the brand, and I wanted to post my recommendations on products currently available. Background (How I got Into the Brand) I was exposed to the company early...

The 2015 holiday shopping season is upon us, and new speakers are sure to be on many AV enthusiasts' wish lists. Here are several speaker systems that recently impressed me with their fidelity as well as the value they represent. Powered Bookshelf If you have limited space for a speaker...

The subwoofer works great and has been taken good care of, it looks basically brand new. It has low hours and I've never driven it hard because the place I live doesn't tolerate loud music well. It comes with the box and manual. I have pictures, but don't know if I uploaded them correctly from...

I am new to this site.. We just purchased a home theater setup with a Sony VPL-HW55ES projector with a 100" Elite Lunette fixed screen and an Onkyo TNX-NR636 receiver with the needed Atmos firmware update. I would prefer tower speakers with a good sub and center. I am also installing (2)...

Hi Basically I am looking for some new speakers that cost less than £300. I have no idea what I should be looking for really and so I am looking for some advice. They will be plugged into my computer which has an asus Maximus V Extreme motherboard with a decent on-board soundcard. I mainly...

 Hello, I bought a 2 SonArray SR1 systems and a Sherwood RX-5502 around a year ago to eventually install them. The time to install them is coming up and I am not sure whether or not these speakers will work with this amp. I paid a lot for the speakers and not that much for the amp and am...

 This past weekend I found out what it's like to attend a get-together with other AVS members , the goal of which, in this case, was to compare a number of different speaker systems. The GTG was fun, informative, intense, and at times excruciatingly loud—but more than anything else, it was a...

I know there are more expensive and better sounding speakers out there, but for the price you can buy them for is there a better deal. They can be had new for about 450 a pair for the bic pl-89 speakers and pic up a matching center for about 150. Would love to hear some thoughts on this.

Summary: need purchase advice for 1: All purpose use speakers for a 5.1 setup(can add sub later if budget is used on the 5) $1k-$1.4k or less is the budget 2: it's in a small space and will be used for music, moves and computer games. 2: small size is needed, 12" deep or less, but prefer...

I've been reading alot of good reviews on the GoldenEar Technology TritonCinema Two as well as some other brands. Wondering in this price range is there anything else to compare?

I'm getting scratching/static in my Polk 3000 Soundbar when I switch my input from cable mode to HDMI (which is what my blue ray player is connected with to the TV). I don't hear the scratching noise when I use the older RCA cables to hook up the blue-ray player, though. I'm pretty sure its...

 Listed as Legacy Audio speakers, but no info on age or model. Assume they are vintage. Any Legacy buffs out there that can help me?

Hey Everyone- (I by accidentally posted this in the speaker section...sorry!) I just purchased the Jamo S 426 speaker set and am now trying to decide on a receiver. I've read some reviews on the two, but I feel it's more helpful to get feedback from actual customers/users. I hear that the...

I love my Sonos speakers, but it seems that I could extend them into other rooms rather painlessly by connecting them to the Sylvania MusicLights. Is this even possible? http://www.amazon.com/Sylvania-72284-MusicLites-Loudspeaker-10-Watt/dp/B0057A2EQ6

So I recently decided to purchase a pair of Sierra-1 speakers with all the glowing reviews I've read. I got a shipping quote and I was stunned. $130 for shipping, plus all the hassle with border crossing and potential for unfounded duty (even though it's built in the US, we know how CRA...

I'm upgrading from an old onkyo htib. I have a onkyo txnr 809, two bic V1220's, and a set of energy rc micro 5.0s. I'm looking to get a pair of cbm 170 se and a cmt 340 for the front. I'm debating on using the rest of the rc micros for the surrounds and later upgrading to more cbm 170 se's for...

Hi Guys. Currently have a few setups at home, with best speakers being Energy RC-70 in a 2.1 music setup. We will be renovating the room to hardwood floors this spring, and at some point, the RC70s will be migrated down to the HT and I want something nice for the living room to take their...
