I just picked up mine for $219 (including $30 headphones and free shipping) from Dell. I got in on an amazing deal. Now I have the old Z-560's to get rid of. From what I have heard, the Z-680's are pretty nice and I will find out pretty soon if it is true. I always considered the Z-560's good...

I know with the IL120 sub you received the little adjustment tool. Actually, any small screwdriver will work and no special tool is required. Matt

I wouldn't think the kit is any different for the Alpha subs or the Interlude subs. I ordered my kit directly from the website (Rabos Kit). Frankly, all it has is a CD that plays tones for the sub, a SPL meter, and a plastic doohickey to 'help' figure out the settings you should use to get rid...

I have two of the IL120's and I like them. I ended up with two when I found a great deal for a Maple one on UBid (so it matched the rest of the system) and just haven't gotten rid of my black one. As was mentioned, they drop off pretty quick below 30Hz, but they will shake you pretty good. My...

I just encountered a similar problem Robb. I just purchased a Parasound HCA-2205A (thanks Mark :) ) and it had a buzz. It didn't appear to come from the speakers, but from the Amp itself. Well, I finally remembered that the lamp I had in the room was a Halogen lamp (with a 3 position switch...

All UBid stuff comes and goes. It is best to just visit it every so often and see if they have what you are looking for. Keep reading this forum and I am sure someone will post if Parasound ever shows back up on UBid. Otherwise, you can check Ebay.com or Audiogon.com for Parasound. I am...

Corey, You are in the same boat I am. I have the Interludes all the way around and I have been trying to decide on an amp. I almost had a Parasound 2003a off of Ebay for $525, but I goofed and didn't set it up so it would autobid up to my limit. Some guy outbid me in the last 20 seconds...

Well, I have to say something positive also. I just received my Infinity IL120 Sub (wanted to get a Maple finish sub to match the rest of the system) and the transaction was very smooth. Thankfully UPS didn't kick the crap out of the sub and it arrived in very good condition. It is unfortunate...

Yes, I browsed briefly over there at audigon. I am just investigating amps. I was looking at some 3 channels, but maybe I will look at the 5 channels. Trying to figure out what brand to go with is not easy as this is my first amp. :) Matt

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I was leaning in the right direction to get an amp. Now I just have to decide what kind to get. I have been reading the forums and it is hard to decide what kind to get. It seems to me (from reading around here) that the amps under $1,200 are all pretty...

I should have mentioned this earlier, but in reading comments in this forum, I have seen some people use two and three channel amps for their fronts and center, and keep their surrounds on the receiver. Is this a good option? Matt

Okay, I am looking for a little advice. My current set up consists of Infinity IL40's for the fronts, IL36C for the center, IL10's for the surrounds, and the IL120 sub. I currently use the Sony STR-DA333ES receiver. I am debating on if I should just get an amp or a new receiver. I don't plan...

I also have an Interlude setup. IL40 fronts IL10 surround IL36C Center IL120 Sub I have the Maple ones. They go good with the wood floors I have. I have been watching UBid and I was suprised to see that the starting cost for the Maple Interludes is much higher than the Onyx. I thought...

John, Just a bit sensitive, or a bad day? I didn't think Michael's comments were meant as a slight against you. If you are looking for meaningful comments, you should have posted some of your own thoughts pertaining to the article. A simple topic of "End of DVD?" with a link to the article...
