When I first came across this story, I thought it was a pre-Halloween prank being pulled on SyFy.com visitors but after the reading the article, I was like WHOA! You couldn't make this crap up. A family in Iowa, who were neighbors to the new owners of Dahl's Meat Locker, who had dumped the...

I've been at this expensive hobby for quite awhile. Here is the evolution of my HT from where it [basically] began to where it is today. It's been a tough journey at times but worth it in every way. I'm hoping this thread will motivate and inspire some of our future enthusiasts. For the more...

I have a storage room that I would like to try and use as a home theater room. Any advice and/or suggestions on making this work are appreciated. I'm using a free floor planner design for the below images and could not find ceiling speakers, so the lights in the ceiling are meant to be...

Hi! I have a Yamaha Stagepas 400i PA system with its own mixer-cum-amp. I was wondering if I could also use these two speakers as front speakers as a second Home Theatre (with two sets of input cables coming to the speaker jacks - one from the mixer-cum-amp for PA use and another from the AV...

I love my VMPS main speakers. They have such substantial build quality, MUCH better than the typical speaker. They sound fantastic. Next month I will have had them for 25 years. In speaker terms, I suppose they could be called senior citizens. Seniors know that body parts wear out. Last...

Hello, My in-laws contractor installed ceiling speaker inside and outside and ran all the wiring for home audio. Four white jacketed speaker wires and a black jacketed wire go from laundry (where receiver will be) to an outlet in the den by light switches. Also, three blue and three black cat...

i Do not know if you all remember the Camp fire that swept through Paradise California on November 8th of 2018 that was my where I lived for 15 plus years before the fire, leaving all my stuff behind to burn up, a good quarter century of building a Home Theater starting out in the Mid 80s with...

For the past fourteen years, I have watched TV and movies in the same oversized leather chair: I love this chair. I have practically lived in this chair. However, I woke up on the Fourth of July with a terrible stiff neck that lasted three or four days, and I've been dealing with neck...

Good Day Folks, Brad here. Now this was one I (and a number of HTF enthusiasts) was hoping (and still hoping) would appear in HD on Blu-ray. Well Little Darlings (1980) has finally come to home media in HiDef but only online. Amazon Prime is now offering this (I bought it) and so far it looks...

I have an older Sony Home Theatre (Model HCD-C-450) and I am hoping to use the built-in wall speakers of the house I recently bought. The wall plates are incredibly confusing and I'm not sure which connectors/adapters to use. The wall plate looks foreign to me, the jacks look like they require...

Hi guys, I just purchased a Klipsch home theater system and I am hoping to also connect speakers in other rooms to the system as a separate zone setup for wireless. My question is: can I use wired klipsch speakers and make them wireless somehow without losing much audio quality? The...

Hi all. I'm a newbie here, trying to set up a Home Theater system with an older Panasonic SA-HE100 receiver I've had sitting around for years.

Hey all, I literally just signed up here. I love forums. As of this month, I have my first man cave and I'm looking for a low cost home theater surround sound system. It's just a bedroom so I don't need insane quality, just regular movies/music stuff. I don't know a ton about these, but in our...
