    Budget Receiver for friend...Denon 1604 or Yamaha 5650?

    I just upgraded my rig and am selling my old speakers to a friend (Infinity Reference 2000 series all around). My old receiver died on the day I brought my Denon 3805 home...I think it did it out of spite. :) I was going to sell the whole package to him, but now that I don't have a receiver...

    I just received B&W speakers from my wife for my 30th birthday. Now I am planning on upgrading my receiver from my five-year old Sony 925. I was looking for any insight into what would be the best receiver sound-wise to purchase to go with my new toys...er I mean speakers. ;) I've heard...

    B&W 600 Series Owners...I need some advice

    Hello all... My wife surprised me for my 30th birthday this year by getting me the B&W speakers I have been wanting for awhile. She did a great job, buying me a pair of 602S3 and the LCR60. However, she has left the purchase of the surround speakers to me, as she was unsure of which ones to...

    56H80 Glitch, has this happened to you?

    I was watching Godfather 3 last night when right near the end of the movie my 56H80's picture seemingly turned itself off (i.e. the picture disolved into the center of the screen) then back on in Normal mode when it was previously in Full mode for the movie. Frankly, this worried me a little...

Periodically when I turn the player on it will immediately shut off. This only happens once, then when I try again it stays on. If I turn the player on...
