Just saw it last night -- I'm motivated today to watch again just to see if I should have had so many goosebumps! The soundtrack worked very well in my room -- I had a presence clearly running around in the floor above me; that nearly gave me heart failure. I watched this movie alone in...

The combination of Axioms and Yamaha offers a very nice neutral, accurate and natural sound.

I've learned that the 3200 will not do DTS 96/24. The 3200 is made in Japan, the 2200 in Malaysia. The 3200 has main-in/pre-outs which permits you to hookup an external crossover (in a subwoofer, for example) or an equalizer. So you can potentially blend your mains with your sub better, and...

Thanks for all the comments.

I thought I'd make my next upgrade step into separates, but my dealer is offering me a $318 upgrade path to the Yamaha RX-V3200 receiver (I currently have the next model down). This is an enticing situation. Am I crazy for not doing this quick and fairly inexpensive upgrade? Anyone else take...

Compare these values: Anthem MCA5 $1020 delivered vs. AM-9080 for $620 delivered -- for 60% music & 40% HT at under reference volumes using efficient 4-ohm speakers all the way around. I've noticed very few Anthem solid state amps for resale by the way. John: For your value comparisons...

You want to be convinced into buying the M22s, huh? I have not heard any Diva speaker, though I have a pal not too far from me who has the 6.1, r3. 2.1 full setup. I may still bring my M22s over to his house for sh*ts 'n giggles. I suppose I would've tried the Divas but I first stumbled...

M22s with a sub for 2-channel -- I like the deep stuff. I'm going M22s all around (even center) for 6.1. Stay tuned. Next up, the killer low end upgrade, hmmm....
