What would be a good speaker for my bedroom?

Camden H

I want a good speaker that can provide strong power for my bedroom. I was hoping something that has really good subs so I can vibrate the heck out of room. I'm looking for something $200 or under. My room is about 12 sq ft. I'm not really sure where to start looking or what to get. I'm perfectly okay if it's overpowered for a 12 sq ft room, in fact, I'm kind of looking for something overpowered. I'm okay if it's overkill. In summary, I need a sound system that provides (hopefully) an excellent sub/bass, that's under $200, that I can hook up my iPod to when I want to listen to some good music. Any help with this?

Answer
- Your budget is to low to get a decent low end system. If you get a decent low end receiver and speakers it's going to cost around $400+. (You might want to check craigslist, you might find both for around $50, use at your own risk).
- I would like to put out that music is dynamically compressed (depends who edited it) and then amplified (basic edit, just make sure it's not pass clipping) = It's going to be loud = I would be more concerned about the audio quality of your system and the audio quality of the file.

- Some examples of good low end surround sound speaker brands that I recommend are: Polk Audio, Energy, Monoprice, Klipsch, JBL, M&K.ect
- Example of good low end surround sound speakers = Polk Audio Blackstone TL Series TL1600 or TL1900 or TL2600 or TL350; Energy Take Classic or Energy RC Micro; MonoPrice 9774; Klipsch HD Theater series 300 or 500 or 600 or 1000; M&K Movie; JBL SCS 145.2 or JBL CS480.
- Good low end surround sound speakers will cost somewhere around $300-$900 (crappy low end speakers will cost less than $200 and that's when it's not on sale) and mid end surround sound speakers will cost somewhere around $1,000 and high end surround sound speakers will cost more than $1,000.
- Note: Klipsch sued Monoprice for copy infringement. Monoprice's 9774 5.1 speakers (they don't have it anymore) copied Klipsch's Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers. (Monoprice 9774 would have cost about $248-$278 and Energy Take Classic for $399). (I saw the Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers on sale at crutchfield for $200, but they are not on sale anymore atm).

- Some good high end receiver brands that I recommend are: Onkyo, Pioneer, Denon, and Yamaha.
- Good low end receivers will cost around $300-$900 (crappy receivers or stereo receivers might cost less than $200 and that's when it's not on sale) and high end receivers will cost more than $1,000.
= I recommend a new low end 7.1/7.2 system, but you have to find one on sale yourself tho. (If your on a budget then just get a low end 5.1/5.2 receiver, a high end 5.1/5.2 receiver is not worth the extra money and you would be better off getting a low end 7.1/7.2 receiver, high end 7.1/7.2 or 9.1/9.2 or 11.1/11.2 .ect receiver is only ok if your rich or if it's on a massive sale).

Some examples of good 5.1 or 5.2 channel audio/video receivers. (Overall=low end).
- Low end = Onkyo TX-SR313 or HT-RC430; Pioneer VSX-523-K; Yamaha RX-V375; Denon AVR-1312 or AVR-1513 or AVR-E200 or AVR-E300.
- High end = Onkyo TX-NR414; Pioneer VSX-823-K; Yamaha RX-V475; Denon AVR-1613 or Denon AVR-1713.

Some examples good 7.1 or 7.2 channel audio/video receivers. (Overall=high end).
- Low end = Onkyo HT-RC460 or TX-NR525 or TX-NR626 or TX-NR727; Pioneer VSX-1023-K or VSX-1123-K or VSX-43/73; Denon AVR-1913 or AVR-E400 or AVR-2113CI; Yamaha RX-V575 or RX-V675 or RX-V775WA.

Should I get a home theater system?

Should i get a samsung ht-f4500 or buy some games for my 360?I got a ps4 with cod and ps plus. my tv is pn51f5500

Answer
That's junk. To get you on the right track you need to read the examples below.

- Home theater in a box (HTiB) is a all in one disk playing system that is cheap garbage.
= Terrible audio quality (don't let the bloated specifications fool you, that's why it's so cheap), little to no connectivity (terrible for connecting others devices to it like a tv or computers or game consoles.ect), some will have features while others have little to no features, if one component breaks (which is likely) then you have to toss the whole system in the garbage and hence that's why it's considered a garbage system.

- A proper surround sound system will consist of a receiver and surround sound speakers that hook/plug into the receiver, then you need a device such as a tv or computer or game console or disk player to plug into the receiver.
- Good surround sound systems will have a receiver from a good brand while having a separate good brand for the surround sound speakers and same applies for your other devices too, I provided some good brands for components that you can look at.
= This is the best way to hook up your devices by using a hdmi cable for hd audio and hd video (good quality hdmi cables will cost around $10).
- 1st hdmi cable to hdmi output on device to hdmi input on receiver for audio, then 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi output on receiver to hdmi input on tv for video (hdmi video passthroughs to tv untouched).
- Receiver menu -> manual setup -> hdmi setup -> hdmi audio setup -> send audio to amp (not passthrough to tv).

Speaker System and Amplifier Questions?

Hudson

I am looking to buy a speaker system and an amplifier, and am needing some help knowing how amplifiers work... Are amplifiers universal? How do you install them? Would they be difficult to mount into an unfinished room? I just don't know. HELP ME OUT GUYS!

Answer
- Active speakers have built in amplifiers in the speakers (and/or built in amplifier in the subwoofer and the speakers plug into the subwoofer). Examples of active speakers would be computer speakers or sound bars.
- Most active speaker systems have very little power and low end quality and no additional features other than producing audio. = Garbage (I don't recommend computer speakers or sound bar speakers).

- Blu-ray or DVD home theaters in a box is a disc player (amplifier) that comes with and hooks up to compatible passive speakers with speaker wire.
- All HTIB systems have very little power and very low end quality and not much additional features other than producing audio. = Garbage (I don't recommend HTIB systems).

- What I do recommend are receivers (amplifiers) that hook up to compatible passive speakers with speaker wire, computers or blu-ray/dvd player or game consoles hook up to the receiver with a hdmi cable for audio then receiver hooks up to the tv with a hdmi cable for video. You can find good cheap speaker wire and hdmi cables at monoprice or amazon or newegg or tigerdirect.
- If you notice below, brands that make good receivers do not make good speakers. = I don't recommend a system that bundles a receiver with speakers, but the Onkyo HT-(S3500 or S5500 or S6500 or S7500 .ect) system is not too bad. = So if your on a budget, then I recommend you get a low/high end 7.1/7.2 surround sound receiver and you get mid end or high end stereo speakers (you can get+add more speakers later to have a surround sound system).

Some examples of good 5.1 surround sound audio speakers.
- Low end bookshelf 5.1 speakers = Polk Audio 5.1 Blackstone TL(1600 or 1900 or 2600); Klipsch 5.1 HD Theater (300 or 500 or 600); Energy 5.1 (Take Classic or RC-Micro or CB-10); MonoPrice 5.1 Premium 10565; M&K Movie; JBL SCS 145.2 or JBL CS480.

Home Cinema System Advice...?

Rob D

I am thinking of getting a surround sound system simply for plugging into my PS3. I'm thinking that it shouldn't make a difference between buying a blu ray home cinema system and a DVD as I would be outputting the video and sound from my PS3?

Also if there is a better way to do this please let me know. I'm not looking to spend loads of money but I am also not looking for a cheap option.

Thanks for the help.

What do I need in order to install HT16C ceiling speakers?

jlalv

I know how to install the speakers to the ceiling but what will I need in order to make them work. What type of receiver or amp or both will I need?
It's about 3 or 4 that I want to install.

Answer
A receiver will take care of the job, as far as the type it depends on what you want in the outcome; just a stereo system 2.0, 5.1 basic theater, 7.1 (or.2)advanced theater, or 9.2 just an all out kick ass system

Why does each number on the telephone has a different sound to it?

9.2 speaker system image

Im no ones

dial 1234567890, press talk and put it on speaker, hang up before anyone pick up. A different sound for each number, why is that?

Does it have to do anything with wavelengths?

And how am i able to call places? Through satellites? Details please

Thank ya!

Answer
Many decades ago when a person wanted to place a phone call they would pick up the phone and the operator at a "switchboard" would be on the other end of the line. (In small towns the switchboard operators usually knew the people placing calls by first name.)

Tell the operator who you want to call and they would plug patch cords that had the big 1/4" plug on the end, like headphones, and plug your phone connection into the phone connection for the person you want to call and than the operator would ring the other persons phone.

In a big city the operators were quite busy putting phone calls through. Hundreds or possibly thousands of people picking up phone receivers throughout the day and night wanting to call someone. They give the operator the number they wanted and the operator would move the patch cords so the call could go through.

But than eventually the whole phone system became computerized so it would work more efficiently. The different tone that you hear for each number tells the computer "switchboard" what number you are pushing so it moves the "switch" or phone circuit to that number, and than the next one dialed and the next and so on.

So to start off with a United States area code a first number could be 3 the computer registers that and than is waiting for the next number to be input. Imagine your phone keypad, you push 3 and in the computer system the next available numbers might be 2, 7, 1, 8, 9 so imagine the other numbers on the key pad disappearing because they don't belong to any active number. So than you push 2 and than 9,2,7,0 are possible numbers that can be dialed after that. So than you dial 7. So in the moment that it takes you to dial the area code 327 the computer system is doing all the switching and patching in nanoseconds. The most effective way to explain it would be to draw a number tree where you have 3 as the base and than 2, 7, 1, 8, 9 on seperate branches off the 3. Than the other numbers available after dialing the 2 would be branched off of it as possible numbers that can be dialed.

Here are two links with pictures to show you what old phone systems used to look like. Even today with all of our technology the phone system still works the same way. But all of the "switchboard" work that happens is controlled with computer software and is within computer systems.

Switchboard operator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchboard_operator

Telephone Switchboard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_switchboard

Even with cell phones they have to go through the same switch relays for a call to be made. But now it's even more advanced with it having to go through satellites and cell phone towers. When making a call from a cell phone to a landline that is a major feat of technology happening right there. Because as you dial the cell phone it goes through all the switch relays, goes through the cell phone tower, to a satellite, the satellite sends it to phone company computers where your call is sent through the landline system and than it rings at the persons house on the other end.

I also worked as a Traffic Flagger, directing road traffic through workzones. I have worked with many utility companies including power, phone and cable and have got to see some of the wiring and work that it takes to make all of our technology work. A buddy of mine works for a contractor of AT&T and helps repair and do upgrades to their systems near Seattle, WA. He's told me about the millions upon millions of dollars of system upgrades AT&T had to do just so people could use their new iphones and other smartphones on the internet send and receive MMS and many other things people take for granted with cell phones and don't know all the labor that makes it work.

If you watch some old shows and movies from the 1930's, 40's and 50's they occasionally have a character making a call and having to talk with the operator. One TV show in particular that I remember that showed the operator and the some of the steps to making a call was The Andy Griffith Show. They didn't show it all the time, but occasionally they would.

I don't have highspeed so I rarely use Youtube because it take FOREVER for even simple video's to load. But fortunately they show a preview picture for the search results. I have included some Youtube links of videos showing how the original switchboards worked. If you want to see a long list of more clips to watch search "Telephone Switchboard Operator" on Youtube.

- Some examples of good low end surround sound speaker brands that I recommend are: Polk Audio, Energy, Monoprice, Klipsch, JBL, M&K.ect
- Example of good low end surround sound speakers = Polk Audio Blackstone TL Series TL1600 or TL1900 or TL2600 or TL350; Energy Take Classic or Energy RC Micro; MonoPrice 9774; Klipsch HD Theater series 300 or 500 or 600 or 1000; M&K Movie; JBL SCS 145.2 or JBL CS480.
- Good low end surround sound speakers will cost somewhere around $300-$900 (crappy low end speakers will cost less than $200 and that's when it's not on sale) and mid end surround sound speakers will cost somewhere around $1,000 and high end surround sound speakers will cost more than $1,000.
- Note: Klipsch sued Monoprice for copy infringement. Monoprice's 9774 5.1 speakers (they don't have it anymore) copied Klipsch's Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers. (Monoprice 9774 would have cost about $248-$278 and Energy Take Classic for $399). (I saw the Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers on sale at crutchfield for $200, but they are not on sale anymore atm).

- Some good high end receiver brands that I recommend are: Onkyo, Pioneer, Denon, and Yamaha.
- Good low end receivers will cost around $300-$900 (crappy receivers or stereo receivers might cost less than $200 and that's when it's not on sale) and high end receivers will cost more than $1,000.
= I recommend a new low end 7.1/7.2 system, but you have to find one on sale yourself tho. (If your on a budget then just get a low end 5.1/5.2 receiver, a high end 5.1/5.2 receiver is not worth the extra money and you would be better off getting a low end 7.1/7.2 receiver, high end 7.1/7.2 or 9.1/9.2 or 11.1/11.2 .ect receiver is only ok if your rich or if it's on a massive sale).

Some examples of good 5.1 or 5.2 channel audio/video receivers. (Overall=low end).
- Low end = Onkyo TX-SR313 or HT-RC430; Pioneer VSX-523-K; Yamaha RX-V375; Denon AVR-1312 or AVR-1513 or AVR-E200 or AVR-E300.
- High end = Onkyo TX-NR414; Pioneer VSX-823-K; Yamaha RX-V475; Denon AVR-1613 or Denon AVR-1713.

Some examples good 7.1 or 7.2 channel audio/video receivers. (Overall=high end).
- Low end = Onkyo HT-RC460 or TX-NR525 or TX-NR626 or TX-NR727; Pioneer VSX-1023-K or VSX-1123-K or VSX-43/73; Denon AVR-1913 or AVR-E400 or AVR-2113CI; Yamaha RX-V575 or RX-V675 or RX-V775WA.
- High end = Onkyo TX-NR818 or TX-NR1010 or TX-NR3010 or TX-NR5010; Pionerr Elite series SC-61 to 68; Denon AVR-2313CI or AVR-3313CI or AVR-4520CI.

Answer
Many decades ago when a person wanted to place a phone call they would pick up the phone and the operator at a "switchboard" would be on the other end of the line. (In small towns the switchboard operators usually knew the people placing calls by first name.)

Tell the operator who you want to call and they would plug patch cords that had the big 1/4" plug on the end, like headphones, and plug your phone connection into the phone connection for the person you want to call and than the operator would ring the other persons phone.

In a big city the operators were quite busy putting phone calls through. Hundreds or possibly thousands of people picking up phone receivers throughout the day and night wanting to call someone. They give the operator the number they wanted and the operator would move the patch cords so the call could go through.

But than eventually the whole phone system became computerized so it would work more efficiently. The different tone that you hear for each number tells the computer "switchboard" what number you are pushing so it moves the "switch" or phone circuit to that number, and than the next one dialed and the next and so on.

So to start off with a United States area code a first number could be 3 the computer registers that and than is waiting for the next number to be input. Imagine your phone keypad, you push 3 and in the computer system the next available numbers might be 2, 7, 1, 8, 9 so imagine the other numbers on the key pad disappearing because they don't belong to any active number. So than you push 2 and than 9,2,7,0 are possible numbers that can be dialed after that. So than you dial 7. So in the moment that it takes you to dial the area code 327 the computer system is doing all the switching and patching in nanoseconds. The most effective way to explain it would be to draw a number tree where you have 3 as the base and than 2, 7, 1, 8, 9 on seperate branches off the 3. Than the other numbers available after dialing the 2 would be branched off of it as possible numbers that can be dialed.

Here are two links with pictures to show you what old phone systems used to look like. Even today with all of our technology the phone system still works the same way. But all of the "switchboard" work that happens is controlled with computer software and is within computer systems.

Even with cell phones they have to go through the same switch relays for a call to be made. But now it's even more advanced with it having to go through satellites and cell phone towers. When making a call from a cell phone to a landline that is a major feat of technology happening right there. Because as you dial the cell phone it goes through all the switch relays, goes through the cell phone tower, to a satellite, the satellite sends it to phone company computers where your call is sent through the landline system and than it rings at the persons house on the other end.

I also worked as a Traffic Flagger, directing road traffic through workzones. I have worked with many utility companies including power, phone and cable and have got to see some of the wiring and work that it takes to make all of our technology work. A buddy of mine works for a contractor of AT&T and helps repair and do upgrades to their systems near Seattle, WA. He's told me about the millions upon millions of dollars of system upgrades AT&T had to do just so people could use their new iphones and other smartphones on the internet send and receive MMS and many other things people take for granted with cell phones and don't know all the labor that makes it work.

If you watch some old shows and movies from the 1930's, 40's and 50's they occasionally have a character making a call and having to talk with the operator. One TV show in particular that I remember that showed the operator and the some of the steps to making a call was The Andy Griffith Show. They didn't show it all the time, but occasionally they would.

I don't have highspeed so I rarely use Youtube because it take FOREVER for even simple video's to load. But fortunately they show a preview picture for the search results. I have included some Youtube links of videos showing how the original switchboards worked. If you want to see a long list of more clips to watch search "Telephone Switchboard Operator" on Youtube.
