Hey all, im just trying to get together a make-shift decent sounding 5.1 system with the emphaisis on 2.1 stereo. Right now ive got:
Harman Kardon AVR145
Apple iBook
2 MK S85
Klipsch 8" sub
and 2 small Klipsch satellites.
I am looking for advice about a relatively cheap center channel between $50 and $150. My first choice is the smallest Aperion center channel or possibly a polk/JBL center. I am not sure though, I am just looking for any advice/comment and what not. Thanks, Luke
Having read Stephen Mejias' blog entry here about the November issue shipping on September 12th, and since I haven't received my October issue yet, I wondered when everyone else gets their copy delivered. Mine usually arrives on the 14th or 15th of the preceding month. Yours?
I'm enjoying my new entry level system - Rega P1 turntable, Epos ES11 speakers, and Rega Brio amplifier. But intermittently the system will produce a VERY loud hum - much louder in volume than the music that is playing. The strangest thing is that I can get the hum to stop by tapping or flicking the amplifier with my finger pretty much anywhere - front, side, volume knob. I can also make it stop by jiggling the input cable (red/white RCA) from my turntable, though this only works if I jiggle it near where the cable connects to the amplifier.
I recently sent my Proceed PAV/PDSD to one of three authorized Harmon sub-contracted repair shops. This particular shop was Pyramid Audio in Texas (the other two are in the North East). Though equipment runs through an Adcom power conditioner I have twice been confronted with lightening damage. On the first occasion I was able to send the units directly to Harmon for repair. The service was prompt and professional and the units returned in about three weeks in pristine condition. Harmon, apparently, no longer performs these kinds of repairs on site.
