Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System Review

SPECIAL PRICE www.amazon.com Technical Details of Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System * 4 gloss black 2-way Energy satellite speakers * 1 gloss black Energy center channel * 200 watt Energy subwoofer with front firing port and 8" driver and patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround(TM) * Perfect for a large or small space surround sound solution * Wall mountable Maximum Performance Tips: The center channel speaker needs to be centrally located so that the dialogue appears to be coming from the center of the screen. It needs to be above or below the monitor, as closely to it as possible. If you're using a rear projection television, the most likely option is to place it above the screen. If you have a front projection system, you have choices-stand mounting, or placement on furniture, for example. It is important, though, to place the speaker so that its front edge is even with the edge of the shelf or stand supporting it. Unwanted diffraction occurs when the center channel is too far back into a cabinet or other surface with edges that could impede sound dispersion. READ ON www.amazon.com

Re: bose sine sweep 20KHz-20HZ

WARNING: Do not listen at excessive volumes. NOTICE: It is recommended that the clip be watched in high quality for the sake of sound quality. This is a video response with sine sweeps and a variety of music samples. A quality microphone was used in place of the camera mike for recording the sound. Only one speaker has been miked, therefore only one speaker is generating the ranges. With the Bose Lifestyle system, the Acoustimass module is needed to accommodate reproduction of mid-low frequencies that the satellites alone cannot. Fortunately, the crossover settings between the Acoustimass and the satellites are most likely matched at the factory, so no adjustment is necessary at that end. However, correct placement of the Acoustimass is critical for proper reproduction of the ranges as well as to minimize undesired localization of the Acoustimass. This is not an issue with a loudspeaker employing separate, matched drivers, such as the Optimus Mach Three in this video. The use of quality audio equipment or headphones is recommended, but caution is advised because the sound levels can be loud. Equipment used: Sony STR-DA4ES Sony CDP-X229ES Optimus Mach Three Blue Snowball Apple MacBook Pro

Swivel Card Placement Tutorial

Here is a tutorial for a move that I get many comments about. It's a swivel card placement that I use in my Ambitious Card Routine. I believe it came from Michael Ammar done on one of his first magic videos called "Videonics" from Canada. It was back in the early 80's. I believe it was part of his "blue fill debut" routine. I learned the move from Motivational Speaker/Magician Robert Ian back in the 80's. I got the Ammar info from him.
