I have a Yamaha RX-V2095 receiver with Bose 601 Series III mains, all nearly 15yrs old. The center and surrounds are newish Infinity. The system is used primarily for Xbox gaming (connected via optical), TV, and rarely movies. Over the past few months on and off it will sound like the right main...

My girlfriend has a component receiver in a small built-in cabinet in her living room. It's connected to speakers that are installed in the ceiling in several rooms. This was all installed when the house was built, and it wasn't done very well. The FM antenna was just a short piece of coax...

My 52" plasma currently sits on a short stand that has just enough room for the electronics. No spot for a center speaker though. I have no plans to wall mount this TV, and I don't want to attach the center speaker to the wall like I've seen some people do. So I need a riser that's about 7"...

So I'm finally getting surround speakers installed. I pre-wired the house for 5.1 when it was being built. Right now behind the entertainment center it's a blank plate with all the wires tucked away. I was shopping around for wall plates and see there are a bunch of different styles. I don't...

Right now I have an older Yamaha reciever (Dolby 5.1 I believe) and a set of Bose 601 Series III speakers. I have this setup hooked up to my TV/Xbox/Bluray but primarily use it for music. I would like to expand to full surround sound. I'm not made of money so I'd like to use my existing...

My buddy gave me a JBL PSW-D112. He said it sounded great for years, then one day just stopped working. I'm guessing it's the amp? Is this worth fixing? I looked around on Parts Express, seems like amps are in the $100 range, but I don't really know what I'm looking for as far as features...

I'm slowly putting together a budget system that will eventually be used for home theater. But my primary purpose for this project is for a high-end audio system so I can listen to my jazz and classical music in my home. I see a lot of "home theater surround sound" sets that include two...

To start off I'll say that I know very little about home audio/theater. I was recently given a Yamaha RX-V2095 receiver. The specs are as follows: RX-V2095 Now, my primary use for this right now is simply listening to audio CDs. I am not particularly worrlied about all the surround sound...

A guy on a local automotive board just put this Kenwood system up for sale. I'm at work and don't have time to research, so I thought I'd put this up for people more familiar w/ the equipment. Currently I have NOTHING but a Panasonic DVD player and a 36" Sony Wega. What do you think? Decent...

My buddy is looking to upgrade and wants to sell me his speakers and reciever. He wants $500 for: Onkyo TX-SV727 reciever JBL LXE770 front speakers JBL J520M rear speakers JBL SC305 center channel speaker The system looks like it's in good condition, and sounds good as far as I can...

Right now I have no home theater system. My buddy is replacing his SV727 and wants $250. I've looked thru some reviews and I'm not sure if this would be a good home theater reciever for me. It seems to be missing some of the newer features, like Dolby Digital. He says he bought it in...

My house is under construction, and I want to wire the living room for surround sound. I don't plan to have anything fancy in there - just one of those prepackaged surround sound systems that come w/ a reciever, 5 speakers, and a sub. What kind of wire should I look at? What kind of...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...032583-0328851 Right now I'm using a piece-of-crap system, don't even remember the brand, that is my brother's. He's taking it back and I need something else. It's with a 19" TV, so not exactly a huge home theater setup. This seem like a decent little...

OK, I'll start out that I know ZERO about camcorders. Anyhow, some guy who has tried to sell stuff before I my site (that I thought was overpriced) started this thread, titled "new digital camcorders for sale!!": I started looked up the priced on amazon.com and sears.com and they are coming...

My brother plays guitar (lots of Metallica, Ozzy, etc.). Well, I'm sick of hearing it when I'm watching TV, so I'm forcing him to get a mixer so he can play along to a CD and have both the guitar and CD play thru headphones. I really like my Sennheiser HD212 Pro cans and I'm thinking of getting...

My brother is moving in w/ me. He plays the guitar and likes to play along w/ CDs. Of course he likes to play loudly. So I need some kind of box that he can plug his CD player and guitar amp [headphone output] into and plug in a set of headphones and hear both. I'm looking for something...

I have a Grado SR-80, and I just can't sit and listen to them all day long at work like I want to. So I'm looking for something with the following priorities: 1. Comfortable for extended periods of listening. 2. Cost - I'm trying to keep it in the $50-75 range, and even less is better. 3...

Hi! I am a novice when it comes to home theater, but I know absolutely _nothing_ when it comes to headphones. I am looking for some to use with my computer so that I can test mp3's that I extract and encode. (My computer speakers are easily overpowered.) I am not looking to spend much...
