    Should I replace my center speaker: from jbl stage a125c to polk s30?

    Silly me not reading the review of the jbl stage a125c and just purchased it thinking it would timbre match the fronts (which are the jbl stage a130s, bought after good reviews by Amir and other reviewers).

    New setup with svs sub. Need advice on sub placement.

    Hi guys. I recently purchased an svs pb-1000 pro subwoofer. Below are the pictures of my 5.1.4 setup (the chair is the main listening position - MLP). My avr is denon x3700h. I ran Audyssey calibration with the sub's own volume set at -19db (initially I set it at -15db - which translated to 50%...

    How to know if the in-ceiling speakers are wired correctly without having to remove them from the ceiling to check?

    As the title says. I had someone else installed the in-ceiling speakers for me and I forgot to check whether he correctly connected the positive wire to the positive terminal and the negative wire to the negative terminal (maybe simple, I know, but anyone can make any mistake anytime).

    Wish me luck! Testing whether a sub will disturb neighbors before buying

    I live in an apartment. There are families living above and below me. Never heard any sound coming out from them unless people from above move furniture, drop something hard on the floor or talk in the hallway. That said, I’m still worried about the sound insulation capability of the apartment...
