    Would I be better off using professional PA amplifiers for a home theater setup?

    Not that you cant get good sound from professional audio equipment, for home theater if you choose carefully you can have a nice sounding system, but honestly higher end home audio gear will sound better. Certainly using separate amplifiers over a receiver is a much better way of going...

    Should audiophile stereo speakers be toed in at an angle toward the listener?

    It all depends on the type and design of the speaker and the distance apart from each other. Most speakers will benefit from some toe in, the amount will vary. Electrostatic and planar magnetic speakers must be toed in to some degree as the sound they project is very directional. Cone...

    Audiophiles - low hum emitting from left speaker? Please help!!!!!?

    My guess is its the phonocartridge and would simply need replacing, but it could also be the wiring in the tonearm, or phonostage of the reciever. First thing is to reverse the leads from the turntable to the reciever. If it changes channels its nothing in the phonostage of the receiver and is...

    Sorry they all suck. There are only a couple decent sounding and built receivers on the market, NAD right now is building the best, then Marantz and Denon. Yamaha, Sony, Kenwood, and many others are very poorly made, use cheap parts, do not use discreet output stages, and most important just...

    How to set up stereo speakers with home theater?

    Speaker placement is essential in getting good sound. The first thing that is good is it sounds like you have music speakers which honestly work even better for home theater in my opinion, the key is getting the right placement. First thing is no you don't want to spread them out farther...
