dem beats

Non of that nice audio gear you have got wet right? not the nice stuff. Just the hand built cabinet from father in law and the referance coniseur 50 speaker from energy. Thank god the RC has a non wooden foot. nothing shorted out... I am glad I told the boss I would come in late today. I needed to catch up on sleep and needed a lazy morning... up till 3 trying to suck with a circle hose attachment on the shop vac instead. Off to home depot to see if I can find a wide head for water now. FfFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU Sean Have you ever priced out a drain tile? It still sucks that some of your stuff got wet. Don"t you have a sump pump? wouldn't really help. It's mostly the carpet soaking it up. So the slightly lower spots in the conctrete then hold the water. A drain where it comes in might help somewhat, but really I need to do some landscaping and maybe make some drain paths outside.

Damn this frikking fast melt!!1!

Good article.

What's poppin J? Day off?

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Man Peng I hope they do some good a$$ kissin.

Bet you're chomping at the bit to get on the new sled! I'm jelly.

need to sleep..... audio taking over brain.....

shit I stand corrected. The new yammy a3000 looks to trump my 2 year young z7 in amplification processing and connectivity. I could also get dual independant controlled subwoofer chan. That's an M effer. It could replace my unit for 800 bucks less. on MSRP. another 4 zones of controll too, that will be wasted of course. Less cost than the original integra and beefier. Perhaps more connectivity than the marantz but a bit more. I need to marinate on this a bit more me thinks. Is YPAO greater or less than auddysey? I better pull out my mic for the z7 and calibrate for a temp set up.

Going to try. Hard to keep up there for me.

What are teh choices? I'm posting on HAF too. The info should work to build that site. I just can't really check it from 5am-6pm as easily as I can here. I need a living room receiver to run HD material from HD tv and BRD media. The speakers are Martin Logan Purity. They have a built in amp and can literally be driven from RCA connection. I could get away with a Pre/Pro, usually though you get less for more money it seams, and you loose the versatility of having power if I ever changed speakers. This receiver will also probably handle 2nd zone duty. I want to use my main beastly rig (yam z7) for the other zone work however my wife is strongly against this for many reasons. They don't have to make sense, I just need to abide. The number one factor this receiver must fulfill is to be ipod compatable for the wife, network with our in house LAN, and have some form of useful room calibration. If it has something to help MP3's sound a bit better, then all the better. 90% of the casual listening will be some form of compressed audio. That won't change. Unless I'm alone and can crank the ML's and sit in the amazingly beautiful sweet spot, compressed audio works. We do watch HD concerts on BD or streamed though and also watch quite a few BRD movies. Marantz 7005. It right now is in the top of my list as it's the most gadgety. It doesn't quite seam as robust and the DAC is less audiophile than the bur brown integra, however I'm sure it can do the job and again, for now I don't need some monster amp. I can run the Logan's from RCA if I absolutely had to. It may also have instant ipod connection through USB and a nice compressed audio enhancer. Along with what sounds to be a great "night setting" and a setting to tame overly loud ads on TV, it has a whole list of cool conectivity and every day practical but perhaps gimiky toys to play with. Room calibration via auddysey's best. The pro system is available but only for "installers". There may be a work around. http://us.marantz.com/us/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=AVReceivers&SubCatId=&ProductId=SR7005 Integra 50.2 The middle of the road between the audio snob anthem and the tech geek Marantz. I know the silent cinema from my old integra and it man it works. All the excitement and voice clarity but none of the wife waking factor. Auddysey calibration, and maybe the pro software without being an installer. I'm waiting for confirmation on that. If the menu system is anything like the old integra style, though I loved it and installers love it, my wife will not. http://www.integrahometheater.com/model.cfm?m=DTR-50.2&class=Receiver&p=i Anthem MRX 500 (it looks like the 700 wouldn't get me much more but beefier power that I don't need). Audiophile name, suposidly the ARC calibration system is the BALLS, and I have it on hand as a loaner so I will check it out. From what I've read, the system may be amazing but it doesn't allow the user to EQ the system themselves. If so then it's a load of crap IMHO. On paper the integra outweighs it, and the 500 looks to be the least developed in tech. But it held it's own on a set a 'digms next to a Rotel dedicated amp and I still don't really need some over amped beast. http://www.anthemav.com/products/anthem/a-v-receiver/mrx-500 Onkyo, dennon, and yamaha all look to be on the fence untill you're in the $2k category. Even then I'm not impressed. I originally put payment on the Integra 70.2, but other than some specs I don't need and a video chipset that won't get worked as I don't watch standard def on that system I started looking at other options. I'm open to anything that will solve my problem that is a networking rig that my wife will use. If anyone has a tip on another brand or rig let me know. otherwise give me your 2 cents.

I'll try when I get home. Need to play with the RMX tonight a bit anyway.

nice sled. I'm in a bind Fellas. I'm not sure what receiver to buy. I want to make a thread at HAF but it crashes the work comp!

if my ex's dad was an ML dealer, she wouldn't be an ex.

Not heat when on. Reset the system, did not fix it. Even in emergency mode, it cannot get over 60 degrees in the house. We keep our house at about 55 almost all the time in winter. 60 all the time during winter. 55 is too cold It's good enough for caves. And we just don't care in the house really. On the weekend it will go up once and a while, We cook quite a bit and the kitchen stays warm, the basement has heated couches... So yeah.

You know MN has the word on epic electrostats though right??? http://www.magnepan.com/contact

I hope they get you straightened out Ryan!

Why are these so high? Are there speakers behind the upper mesh? They are electrostatic http://www.martinlogan.com/products/purity more info here http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question713.htm

So my friends I leave you with this..... just take the ride for the most righteous marimba solo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCuQQcISZTM Over and out.
