I am new to audio equipment and am looking for some help.

Just moved into a new home with ceiling speakers in three rooms. Total of 7 speakers inside and two outside. I bought a receiver and want to drive these speakers but there are four speaker cables coming out of the wall and each cable has four colored wires(red, black, white, green). There are volume controls on the walls of the three rooms. How do I connnect to my receiver? Which colored wires do I connect to the receiver?

Thank you.

I'm shopping for some new speakers. Sold my junky JBL E100's on craigslist because I couldn't stand the sound. My Yamaha HS80M studio monitors that are hooked up to my roland stage piano sounded better.

Anyway, here's some information to help you suggest:

Here's my problem ... I've had a terrible RFI problem coming from my rear surround speakers. After a LOT of playing around with the system to try to figure where the "noise" is coming from, I've finally narrowed it down ... here is my problem - the subwoofer connection. I disconnected everything from the back of my receiver (an NAD), reconnected my components one by one, everything was working awesome, until .... I connected the subwoofer cable. I immediately heard the radio signal (the RFI) in my rear channel speakers as soon as I connected the subwoofer cable.

Forget about sound quality, what percentage of your music collection is great music?

Not every disc is an artistic or performance winner, but some of us seem to end up with more junk than we'd like to admit. Forget about sound quality, what percentage of your music collection is great music?

Milwaukee Symphony Goes Binaural

Milwaukee Symphony Goes Binaural

Feb 25, 2007

The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, which last June became one of the first orchestras in the US to launch <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/101005milwaukee">its own e-label</A>, has now become the first orchestra to offer <A HREF="http://www.milwaukeesymphony.org/symphonystore/othermerchandise.asp">do… binaural recordings</A>. The binaural process, whose benefits are most apparent to those who listen through headphones, is based on the concept that the best way to reproduce the concert experience is to make sure that the recorded sounds that go into the listener's ears are as close as possible to what would be heard during an actual concert.

It's funny how things sometimes have to hit you in the head before you actually notice them. When Jon Iverson and I were cruising CES 2007 in January, we were stopped in our tracks by <A HREF="http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2007/107soolooscdslot/">Sooloos</A>'s media server technology. Sooloos <I>got</I> the whole no-compromise audiophile approach, but what really knocked us out was how thoroughly it utilized the metadata from AMG (All Media Guide): Feed the the Sooloos server a disc and it would access AMG's database and collect artist name, album title, track names, cover art, genre, <I>mood</I>, side-man information, and even "associated concepts."

Carson City, NV loudspeaker company Wisdom Audio has been aggressively reorganizing itself lately. The first part of the program was re-uniting founder Tom Bohlender with erstwhile partner David Graebner to refine and perfect the magnetic planar speaker technology used by Wisdom's hybrid planar/dynamic loudspeakers. Then, in October 2006, the company appointed industry veteran Mark Glazier <A HREF="http://stereophile.com/news/100906glazier/">president</A&gt;. On February 8, Glazier announced that Jon Herron would join the company as vice president of sales.
