I am not a big fan on Sony receivers either. The Yamaha 663 looks nice. I think I have ruled out the Onkyo based on the size and the heat output. So it is between the Denon 2808, Pioneer 1018, and the Yamaha 663.

I am in the market for a new receiver. It will have a PS3 Bluray player, a HD Satellite system, and a HDMI Upconverting DVD player hooked up. I have a set of Paradigm Performance series speakers (Phantoms, Titans, and CC-170) and a SVS PB12 sub. The TV is only 1080i but will be replaced with a...

I think the difference was about equal for both. I am saying that because my Sony had developed a hiss that could be heard during quiet movie scens. And it lacked video switching which I need for my HD stuff. When I added the new receiver it was even better. I can't believe how much better...

With the Sony receiver I found there was a noticable improvement. Things were clearer and more crisp. I still had the hiss from the receiver though. LAst night I went out and bought a Pioneer 1015. It's not as nice as the Harman Kardons I was looking at but it was an open box special and I...

I purchased new speakers tonight. I ended up going with Paradigm Phantoms, Titans, and a CC-170. I am going to wait and get the receiver in a couple months. Thanks for all the responses.

I am upgrading my receiver and speakers. I am looking at the Athena F1, C1, B2 for speakers and a Harman Kardon 325 for the receiver. Due to money limitations I can only get either the speakers or receiver now and the other in about 6-8 months. Right now I have a Sony De545 receiver and Sony...

Thanks for the reply. I haven't limited myself to these two receivers only. I am wondering if there are any Harman Kardon, Denon, or Onkyo that are int he same price range that are as good?

I am getting a set of Athena speakers (AS-F1.2, AS-B2.2, AS-C1.2, and AS-P4000). I am also looking for a new receiver to go with them. Right now I am looking at the Pioneer 815 and the 1015. How do these receivers compare with others in the same price range? Is there a better one? I am only...

I just got a Toshiba 51H84 yesterday and found the same thing adjusting sharpness. I have a prog scan DVD player hooked up with Component cables. Chris

Thank you very much guys. All of the advice is appreciated. The speaker will be attached to a stud so that won't be a problem. I have a stud finder and so far haven't seen a sign of a fire block in the wall. It appears to be open the whole way down. The baseboard is removed from the wall...

I am hooking my home theater up in my new house. I have all of the wires run except for one of the rear surrounds. I have run it around the room behind the baseboard and just need to get it up the wall. The hard part is that the wall is insulated. What I would like ot do is drill a hole at...

I am interested in getting a Bell ExpressVu satellite system. I live in Saint John, New Brunswick. I am wondering what direction the satellite has to face to receive the signal. I am at work right now and can't seem to find them information on ExpressVu's website. If anyone can tell me thsi...

I have a Wega 32FS12. I am moving in a couple of weeks and am wondering what the best way to move my TV is. I am sort of thinking about putting a piece of foam insulation or something underneath it to cushion it during the drive in the back of the moving truck. Does anyone else have any ideas...
