setups

Hello All, I recently bought a Sony bluray 5.1 home theater system. I'm trying to get the 5.1 Dolby sound from my HD digital set up box through this new HTS for the HD channels. How do I go about doing that? My TV only has two normal HDMI ports, no HDMI ARC or Optical ports. Is that still...

How do people rack equipment that also makes it easy to get at to connect up gear. I have seen some nice racks but it looks like a real Pain if you get some new gear and you want to add some jumpers. I hope when I can get my house built I can get a rack that has access from the front and...

given that aperiodic is free-air with two rooms, does anybody here have any setups in that you use a membrane to control the woofers with maybe some kind of eq/control box to flatten out the resonant freq within the woofer/s. thank angelo.

Ok I was raised on a Marantz receiver and 4 JBL L100's crica 1973 vintage. In addition I have had a pair of Klipsch KG4's which were excellent speakers aside from the driver baffles that would crack and leak (many replacements). Then it was on to Klipsch RF3 towers / sub combo and most recently...
