Check out this link at another forum and see what you think. The 55" Mits I had *did* bow with my B&W LCR6 on top. 3/8" glass took care of that problem. When I exchanged the 55" for a 65" Mits later on I purchased a new piece of glass, but the added width was too much for the glass to handle...

Brian, I bought some Canare 4S11 cable about a year ago from Performance Audio for $.65/ft. Great service! Pete

I agree with John, OSD is useful for initial setup and occasional tweaking. Other than that, passing video through a receiver just adds one more connection to your video cable path. Pete

Filling my audio stand legs with sand was the cheapest, most noticeable difference, tweak for me. I have a Vantage Point Altus stand, and you could literally thump the legs on the stand and make my CD player skip! After filling the legs with sand, it takes *considerable* effort to whack the...

After I got it programmed and finally quit downloading and uploading changes, the batteries seem to last three to five months. It actually lasts much longer than I expected it to. I haven't written down the date that I changed the batteries out yet, but I will definitely do that next time, just...

Robert, I have the RC-3200, it came with my SR-8200. 1.

Amen! I have worn soft contacts since 1978. My first pair cost over $350, and caused a couple of eye infections. I moved to extended wear disposable contacts years ago. I was told by my eye doctor to start removing them at night to allow my eyes to "breathe". Since then my eyes have never felt...

Give it a little time first... My Marantz RC-3200 ate the first couple of sets of batteries pretty quickly. After I finished programming it to my needs and quit uploading and downloading configuration changes, the batteries began lasting over three months. For the sheer convenience of a "wife...

I have never plugged my VCR into my Mits 65" widescreen. I just don't want to see something with that bad of a resolution line-doubled on my big screen. It gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it. I have the VCR and my son's PS2 plugged into a 27" TV in my computer room. Everybody's...

Eric, you might want to keep an eye on OneCall's website. They get factory refurbed Velo's with the full manufacturer's warranty on occasion. I bought a SPL-1200 from them last year, and there was not *one* blemish on the thing, it was in absolutely perfect condition. List price was $1399, I...

I can't say that I hear any audio differences since I added the Panamax Max 5100, but you can *see* video differences. The black level is definitely darker, enough so that I need to recalibrate using my Avia disk. My wife actually noticed this right off the bat, with no prompting on my part. :)...

I have a Series 2 B&W 602/601/LCR6 setup. I did *not* audition bi-poles before I bought the 601's for the rear. I expected to get into more 5 channel music than I actually have, and wanted direct radiators. The 601's happened to make great rears for theater also. If they are positioned corectly...

There was a Marantz DV-8300 in the for sale section yesterday, you might want to check it out. Pete

Must resist temptation!!!! Man that Marantz DV-8300/Outlaw ICBM combo is whispering to me... I just blew my audio/video $$ for the next few months though. :frowning: Ouch! Count this as a bump for you, good luck! Pete

Just received my Panamax Max 5100 this afternoon. *Very* solidly built, weighed in at 18.3 lbs! I purchased it from an authorized online dealer. My system is finally completed! :) (At least until after the SACD/DVD-A mess is over with.) Pete

Tommy, I haven't bought any audio interconnects from Rhino, but I do have two of their digital cables, two component video cables, and a subwoofer cable. The workmanship and materials are first rate on all of them. I have a Marantz SR-8200 also, and feel that anything over what Rhino offers is...

I don't see why it wouldn't work, as long as you cut a hole in front of the IR sensor. I'm pretty sure that without cutting the hole you would decrease the intensity of the IR receiver, reducing effectiveness and range. If your equipment was RF, you would have it made! If you could get your...

I have a 600 Series 2 setup (602/601/LCR6). I had them paired with a Pioneer Elite 26TX for a while, then a Marantz SR-7200, and finally went to a Marantz SR-8200. I am very happy with the Marantz/B&W combo. :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: The only receiver I preferred over the 8200 was the...

I don't think you can do that. The only thing you can change is the FM/AM station name. Pete

Randall, is this the link you were talking about? Pete

I purchased my rack from AudioMax . I was very happy with the rack and the service. Another place to try is AudioAdvisor , they are *very* reputable. Good luck! Pete

Actually, it would probably sound even better from the deep dark depths of a dumpster. You could then "tune" it using the sliding door on the side. :b Just kidding! It *is* better than nothing. Pete

Shapely bottle! ;)

Try the Marantz. I heard the Studio 20's hooked up to a SR-7200 a little over a year ago, and I was very impressed. I briefly had the 7200 hooked up to my B&W 602S2's before I upgraded to a 8200, and it actually sounded great. My local dealer sells the Marantz line with both B&W and Paradigm...

Upgrade quickly!! The 26TX is notorious for cold solder joints on the DSP board. MANY people had trouble with it. My 26TX lasted all of 26 months before the audio started cutting out. I absolutely WOULD upgrade for $120 - period!!!! Do a search if you don't believe me! Pete

I use Canare 4S11 Star Quad. It's relatively cheap, sounds fine to me, and after dressing it up with heatshrink and Tech-Flex it looks cool as well. :)

I used a TV wall mount bracket I bought from Home Depot for about $50. Details and a picture can be found at the center of this thread . It worked like a charm for my 45lb center channel speaker! Pete

Chris, I have a Vantage Point Solus stand. It has 9.5" of space between shelves, and is 18" deep. It came with four black ash laminate shelves, but I also ordered a shelf addition kit so I could have 5 shelves for equipment. I purchased my unit from AudioMax a few years back. Including the extra...

The funny thing is, I never knew my 8200 had a fan until I read your question and went and got a flashlight. My rack has open sides, so I could easily shine the light in the vent on the right side. Sure enough, all the way across the chassis on the other side is a fan. My 8200 has been on all...

I was pretty much in the same dilemma, I chose to go local on most of my stuff. I refused to pay the retail price on what I bought though. There is plenty enough markup for the dealer to sweeten the pot by at least 5%. I bought my Mits 65" RPTV, Marantz SR-8200, Marantz DV-6200, B&W 602S2's and...
