I am also considering one of these units (or should I save a few bucks and go with the new Onkyo 600 coming out?). OneCall has them new for approximately $639 plus shipping and J&R has them for $649 plus shipping. It would be worth the extra money rather than getting a refurb. You must call...

The FS And FV picture for DVD's will be the same. The FV has PIP, better sound and supposedly has a slightly better cable picture. So if all you care about is DVD picture quality save some money for some DVD's and get the FS. I presently have a 27" FS in my bedroom which replaced a 27" FV...

I recently bought myself two S-38's as fronts, two S-36's as rears and an S-center for a little over $700 at J & R. I am extremely happy with them. By the way, J & R's low prices can be negotiated even lower. I also bought a $58 omni-mount rear speaker mounting bracket from another site which...

First off I have a Sony 36" XBR450 (I could not be happier with the TV). Cox Cable recently strung the new wires for digital cable here in Rhode Island and I took advantage of the first months digital for $1 and the first months 8-channel HBO for $1. Previously with analog, picture quality...

I just picked up some JBL's at jandr.com. Two S-38's for the front($300), Two S-36's for the rear ($250) and an S-Center ($167). I am extremely pleased with these speakers and J & R. I also have a Velodyne 12" sub. You can also try to bargain with J & R over the phone and get a few more...

I have a 13 x 13 room and I have had both the Toshiba 40" and the Sony 36" XBR in it (presently the XBR-450). Both sets were great but in my humble opinion I like the direct view better for DVD and analog cable. I also have less concerns with playing video games on the Sony. For DVD, the...

We usually put the lights in various evergreen trees in our yard (each tree a different color) the weekend after Thanksgiving. I wait until December 1st to light them up, however. The inside tree is usually a couple of weeks before Christmas.

I also recently got the xbr450 and I think it is a great TV. When I had it delivered I had them put it on a sturdy coffee table but I ended up buying the Sony stand from Tweeter as the 450 was not very stable on my cofee table. When I called on the stand and was told the $300 price I then...

I am looking to upgrade the bedroom TV and since the wife has vetoed my idea of of a Sony 32" or 36" XBR I thought the above mentioned set would do the job nicely. I have been waiting for someone locally to have it in stock. If anyone else is looking for this set, I just called the Tweeter in...
