Weird, that's too bad. Apple is good about replacing or fixing defective hardware, so I wouldn't be too concerned. This is why I tell people to avoid Revision A machines, because they get to be beta testers without knowing it. ;)

I really don't get all this arguing about specs and stuff, and here's why: I own an iMac with a 1.8GHz PowerPC single-core G5 processor, which is already outdated. It has a Nvidea FX5200 GPU, which again isn't great by any standard. 768MB DDR RAM, not even DDR2. An 80gig SATA HD. This...

As a teen and a Mac user, there isn't anything about the internet that annoys me... ...Well, maybe those old people who clog up these message boards with crap about speakers and amps that I can't afford. ;)

This company, SoundSplinter, uses wholesale TC Sounds drivers and cost less. Don't be scared by their web-page, they know what they're doing. I second the 12" driver recommendation, maybe even a 15"? ;) The RL12 would work nicely.

Kick the cats out. Oh wait, ;)

Anytime!

Just make sure you have looked around before blasting Apple's components. You left out the entire dual-booting and OS factors.

OK, how does the Optoma HD72 look?

Ok, this will be my first "real" HT and music setup. The requirements are that everything should have a very low visual impact. I've been researching for months, learning stuff and piecing together the best budget system to fits our needs. Sounds first, then HT. I'll be making an in-floor...

Optoma HD72 is the best for your price range. DLP > LCD

EDIT: I just looked at the Cult of the Infinitely Baffled and they have answered most all of my questions. What type of 15" driver would you recommend? Looking at getting 4 of them.

I've been reading a lot about Magnepans and think that I've settled on a 5 speaker system. The issue then turns to what type of subwoofer I should use with them. I've been looking at SVS and their powered cylinders, and I think that they would work well. I was then reading about the wonders of...

It has pre-outs, so later on could I add something like an Emotiva amp to add extra power? I don't think we (the family) could tell when a planar speaker is underpowered, they aren't huge audio purists. Cool, I think I'll call them today and see what they recommend!

Ok guys, I'm 16 and I've never listened to a maggie (or until recently heard of Magnepan) How would my family like the sound from them? We are trying to build a very low visual impact system with a PJ, but the audio is giving me headaches. My dad doesn't want any floorstanders or bookshelves...
