I love these speakers. I did get them on the black friday sale (half off) so the price was really great for me. These speakers sound amazing. Sure there are better speakers out there, but even at full retail price you can't beat the quality of these speakers.
They look great and are bi-ampable. I recommend matching all of your home theater speakers as a set. I run an all klipsch setup with a sony AVR.

Excellent receiver, great features
on January 28, 2014

I decided it was time to upgrade my 10 year old Yamaha reciever. I absolutely love this Sony receiver and all of its features. Great number of connections, love all of the wireless features. The GUI is great for setting it up. The automatic speaker calibration is good for what it does, but spending the time to manually calibrate my speakers with an SPL meter gave GREAT results. Movies and sound are fantastic.
I love the auto HDMI passthru feature, which allows me to use either the built in tv speakers or my home theater speakers.
My AVR is paired with klipsch speakers, I'm running a 5.1 setup as I don't have the room to use a 7.1 setup. Sound is amazing.

One word of advice: Banana Plugs! (ok 2 words...) This allows for super easy speaker connections

VERY quiet, cleans air very well
on January 28, 2014
Posted by: Alex
from Nebraska
After a ton of research and trial and error I ended up with this air purifier. I've had it for about a week so far. I went through 3 different purifiers, and returned them all due to them being very loud. This purifier is nearly silent on low. We leave the purifier on low during the day when we are home, and will set it up higher when we are not home. We literally cannot hear it running unless I put my ear unto the device. You can feel air coming out of it when on low so it is working! When on medium or high there is definite noise, so we do not use these settings when we are home. After day 2 we could tell a difference in air quality. I love the fact that I don't have to replace expensive filters every couple months.

What's great about it: Super quiet
What's not so great: not as "pretty" as some other purifiers

Works extremely well, except short battery life.

In my hunt for a good robotic vacuum, I ended up with the Neato XV-21. I went through 2 Roomba 780's in a week due to the first one breaking on day 2. The second Roomba would get lost and stuck during every use. So what do I like about the Neato? It works as described. I've had the robot for a week, and It has not been stuck once and it has found its base 100% of the time. The Neato is also a true vacuum, the Roomba is more of a powered sweeper. The Neato picks up as much junk and hair as my $600 Dyson Animal. The Neato's laser scanning system works beautifully, and it vacuum's my house in a systemic pattern to reach all areas. The unit will last for around an hour per charge, which is acceptable given the fact that it truly vacuums and my whole house is wall-to-wall carpet. The Neato will stop vacuuming 3/4 of the way through cleaning, and go back to its base and charge, it then finishes where it left off.
The magnet strips to block off areas works well, and does not require batteries.

The 5-in-1 Air Purifier is perfect for allergy sufferers. The HEPA Filter captures 99.97% of allergens including pet dander, dust mites and pollen. The Pet Pure™ is an antimicrobial agent added to the filter to inhibit the growth of mold, mildew and odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the filter. More than just a filter, UV-C light helps reduce airborne bacteria, viruses, mold spores* and works with Titanium Dioxide to reduce volatile organic compounds. Standing 28 inches tall, it is lightweight and ideal to use in rooms up to 189 sq. feet. The easy to use digital display panel includes UV-C control, a filter change indicator and an up to 8 hour timer. 5 speeds provide high speed allergen control down to ultra-quiet sleep mode. *Tested with Staphylococcus Albus, and Escherichia Coli, Aspergillus Niger, and Phi-X174

Worked great for a couple days, but got very loud
on January 25, 2014
Posted by: Alex

I've been doing tons of research trying to find an air purifier, after reading many reviews I settled on this one. The unit looks nice, and has good features. The unit cleaned very well, and I did notice a difference in air quality. Bad news? After less than a week the unit got VERY loud. It sounded like I had a box fan going in my family room. This was on low speed (1 out of 5). Filters were not dirty.
So I would not recommend this product, while it did clean well it is very loud...much louder than expected.

This is excellent speaker wire. I had 18 gauge before, and I upgraded to this speaker wire (which is 14 gauge) and immediately noticed an increase in sound quality. I also purchased monster banana plugs to use with this wire, and am very pleased.

if I have all 4 cameras running 24/7 in my store - primarily as theft deterrant - how many hours/days does 1T provide?
Probably around two weeks. I have 8 cameras on mine, and I can get 7-9 days.

How do you switch out of Boost mode?
I may have accidentally pressed the Boost button while connecting the right sweeping tool. I was not able to switch the Boost mode off. I had to use the vacuum in Boost mode that ran out of battery in 6 minutes and then I have to recharge for 3 and half hours. Is it possible to switch off the Boost mode?
in order to turn it on or off you have to do it while holding the trigger.
with one had, pull the trigger to turn the vacuum on, with your other hand press the "max" button on the back, the unit will switch back and forth. There is a blue ring lit up around the max button when max mode is on.
