    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    I called 3 local A/V shops, 2 Radio Shacks, and Menards. I couldn't believe it was so hard to find. By the way, what is the average price for 12 gauge? Thanks a lot.

    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    I've rearranged my HT room, and now my 16 gauge runs aren't long enough for the rears. The runs will be about 50' each, and since I'll be running them under the floor, I want to do this right the first time.

    Independence Day DVD - what version to get?

    I haven't heard anything about a Limited Edition release. Any more info. on this, Shane? Unless it's a new transfer, I'll just get the 2-disc Digipack. Of course I want Widescreen! ;)

    Considering going HD and need some advice...

    First of all, I should mention we already have a Sony 36" HDTV; it's a 4:3. We currently have a rooftop off-air antenna and are thinking about upgrading to HD. Since we've never had satellite, this would be a HUGE step up for us. Anyway, I went to Circuit City yesterday and got some info. on...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Finding Nemo (TOTALLY RECOMMENDED)

    Yet another Easter Egg: Disc 1 - Select Bonus Features, then select Visual Commentary. Within the Visual Commentary menu, highlight the Virtual Aquarium icon (the fish with the box around it), and press Up to reveal another green fish icon. :D

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: 2 Fast 2 Furious

    How likely is a "Tricked Out" Edition with DTS? My local Wal-Mart has the 2 Movie 2-Pack for $28, and I can't decide if I should get it or wait for a possible DTS version.

    HT Solution for around $500

    A friend of mine wants to buy his first HT setup and has a budget of around $500 to spend on a DVD player, receiver, and speakers (5.1). He'd like to purchase at either Best Buy, Circuit City, or American, so he can audition them; therefore, online deals are pretty much out. Can you recommend...
