I listened to this in costco and this sounds better than Acoustimass 10, but they won't get 6 in 3 weeks. is 6 really better which one should I get?

The 6 is excellent...so is the 10. I've heard both as well. I think the real magic is happening in the bass module. I think it's the same for both the 6 and 10. If money is not a factor I would let the size of your entertainment space dictate your choice. You won't regret either choice.

The acoustimass 6 is very good depending on the way you manage the audio settings on your AV receiver and the positioning of the tweeters.

I own the Polk T15 and BIC America DV62si speakers. The BIC speakers are bigger, heavier and have wider frequency response/higher sensitivity than the Polk T15's. I would recommend the BIC speakers over the Polks. I've seen the Polks on sale for for around fifty dollars, but have never seen a new pair of BIC America DV62si's offered for less than a hundred.I would also consider Micca's MB42 speakers. They sound similar to the Polk T15, but cost less.

I, too, had to choose between the RC Micro and the Classic. I worried the the RC Micro's were too small to provide a full sound. I ended up choosing the RC MIcro's. Here's why: 1. I scoured the different audio forums to get the opinion of people who knew more than me. In the AVS forum (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1153061), I found a posting by a member who posted frequently and who seemed to be highly respected by other forum members. This is what he wrote, "RC-Micro are smaller, with higher build quality and better drivers (than the Classic). They will have a more "refined" sound. The sub is a little better also. Whether it is "worth it" is strictly up to you and how critical you are in your bedroom listening. If you can afford the extra and are seeking the maximum sound quality from the smallest possible package, the RC-Micro will be great. If you aren't super critical and will only be doing casual, moderate volume listening, the Take Classic will probably be fine." 2. I called the tech help at Energy Speakers (they're very helpful, by the way). I told them I could buy the Classic or the RC Micro for the same price. Their tech guy said absolutely take the RC Micro's. 3. They sound better, they look better. I'm really happy with the RC Micro's. Hope that helps!

I would check with a Klisch rep on this one. The 62 is a nice speaker but I think the heresy is such a nice speaker that you might want to move up the line if you can afford to. Ordering here is convenient and return policy is great! So try one if you don't want it return it.

My cousin, to my dismayed surprise, has the Soundbot SB240 upon showing off my 66 Audio. They look the same, they feel the same, they sound the same, they ARE the same. Unless you think the extra pouch is worth it, no the extra cash is not justified.

Much better. You won't be disappointed. There are tons of sound presets to suit your tastes, plus 4 presets that you can fully customize. Even without any enabled the sound quality is still better thanks to the Wolfson DAC in the device.

The CM storm is true surround with multiple speakers per ear cup, the Skullcandy is digital surround, with only speaker per cup so the CM sirus provides better more correct 3d positional sound. I only breifly used the Skullcandy 7.1's at a store as a demo they were comfortable, I dont know how they would be after long gaming sessions or after watching a movie but my initial impression was the sound was good they were comfortable, but damn expensive. Ive owned tons of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach (junk) skullcandy (good) Alienware (ok) Logitech (ok) and the SM sirus blows them all out of the water, the build quality is phenominal the soldering and wiring is top notch, the screws and picot points on the headset are way overengineered to make sure they last, there is metal reinforcing every stress point and after almost a year of use they are as good as new. Most of my headsets especially turtle beach require some sort of fix after 3-6 months then a major fix at about 9 months then at the 1 year mark I have to replace them. I cant speak to the longevity of that particular skullcandy headset but the Skullcandy headset i did own (cant remeber the model number) lasted me about a year, then a speaker gave out and I tried to fix them but the speaker was just toast. I will never buy another set of headphones other that the CM Storm Sirus or equivelant set from CM. They are the most comfortable and best made gaming headphones ive ever used. The only headphones Ive got that sound better ar Bose Proffessional Studio headphones that cost like $600. but they dont have a mic. The CM Sirus Headset at less than $100 is a steal, I would be happy with these headphones if they were just as much as teh Skullcandy 7.1's. I say forget the skullcandy set and get the CM Sirus, or something similar from CM in wireless if thats a big deal for you

The ysp line by Yamaha offers the most realistic surround sound using 8-24speakers (8 on the ysp-1400). They bounce sound using seperate channels to each speaker to create seperate/isolated sounds. They both have 2 built in subs but the 3" down firing subs on the ysp-1400 create a rich deep bass and in my opinion the yas-103's subs were not as clear and sounded a bit more muddled. Also the yas-103 having only two speakers performs stereo operations well but struggled to produce believable "surround" sound. Don't get caught up on the wattage difference, the ysp-1400 gets loud enough to make my ears bleed, lol. I would also look at the differences on yamaha's website. They have great descriptions and you will see that the ysp series is there only real surround sound capable series and not just "simulated". Now if only I had the money for one of the higher end ysp models! I have a 14' wide x 18 long room and my ysp-1400 sounds great! Side note: I also added a 100watt Yamaha sub as only the ysp models allow you to add a sub (any sub with a mono sub cord hookup works). With the extra sub for $150 my neighbors can hear my movie nights! Spend the extra and enjoy it! (Even with the built in subs)

I had a couple pair of S4's and they sounded really great. The S3's aren't as good and the S6's are too bassy. Someone stole my S4's and I am upset about that. I'm thinking about springing for another replacement pair. They matched well throughout my Mastering process in the studio. Someone can steal my S3's. haha

The Klipsch Quintet III system is way better than the Energy Micros. I know they are not the same as the classic, but I was offered the Energy Micros since the classic was discontinued. After comparing the two systems, there was no question that I had to return the Energy Micros and pay the associated "restocking fee."

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

More gray, I thought about taking it in to get spray painted but since it was free can't really complain. Probably will sell it soon, looking at BIC F12, or Polk PSW 505 around Black Friday. I have this connected to my PC, purchased Polk Audio PSW110 which sounds much better for my home theater system. If PSW110 and BIC V1020 are the same price go with Polk.

I'm don't know how the performance of the Paradigm 100ct stacksup but, The Definitive Pro 600 is top notch. The Pro 600 is a lower end set up by Definitive standards yet the performance i feel is unmatched for the price range. I have given home theater demos for fmaily and friends that are knowledgable in home audio and time after time they are impressed with the sound quality.......

Not sure how good the a33 was but the a26 went back. It sounded awful. Much to thin for my enjoyment. I had the q35 as well and returned it as it was too boomy (over emphasized bass). I picked up the UE Boom and am very happy. It has 15 hours battery life vs. the 6 from TDK. I got the Boom 20%off at a local wireless carrier store. I highly recommend not buying the a26. It's cheaper but the sound is pretty bad when compared to similar devices like the jawbone mini.

None is better than the other. Both units will rattle anything in its sonic path. I would recommend anti-vibration pads on any decor that is vertical. At his price range, you can't go wrong with either. I know from experience that Polk customer service is top notch. I haven't dealt with Klipsch customer service so far.

Used or new the altek landing VS_4121 speakers are my favorites. They are a smaller 2-1 setup with a Very good sound . Better than the 4122s.

Holy moly, I wish I had that problem..to choose between two companies with stellar offerings. The LS50 is exceptional, would I prefer a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies......in a heartbeat. But, as the monetary system collapses, you are probably far better off to get some acoustic instruments.
