    Subwoofer with digital input and remote?

    I want a better listening system for my mp3’s on my computer. Looking around I found the Logitech Z-5500 and Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 systems that have a feature I need. Basically the system controllers take in a digital input and there is even a remote control on the Z-5500 system. Here’s the...

    Can the Pioneer 1014 be Beat for <$500

    No kidding. Onecall has them for $350 plus $35 shipping. I'm tempted to get one for a second system. I just can't justify it though :frowning:

    Can the Pioneer 1014 be Beat for <$500

    True. But I will say $1500 is like saying the 1014 costs $650. I didn't pay anything close to $1500. I think I got it for around $800 - $1000. I can't remember yesterday :) I just want to point out that the Pioneer gear really surprised me for it's price point.

    Can the Pioneer 1014 be Beat for <$500

    I'm a huge Marantz fan myself. I have an older separates setup, AV9000 paired with the MM9000. I use Paradigm Monitors for speakers. That being said, I'm not as big a fan of some Marantz products. My friend picked up an SR-4300 (I think, it was 4xxx and a while ago - maybe 4200) and we hooked...

    Lifelong Windows user contemplates (gasp!) a Macintosh! Advice please!

    I didn't read the entire thread but wanted to add something. In case it wasn't mentioned, buying from the Apple Certified section can save you hundreds of dollars on some models and it comes with the same warranty as the new ones. Goto the apple.com/store and click the red tag on the right side...

    The butchering of Grounded For Life

    I love this show even though its not as good as it used to be. I must be a minority in taste because I loved Ed and it's gone also.

    Where to buy Studio 1HD / Sanyo Z1 Lamp / Bulb

    My 1HD is around 2 years old and still working as great as day 1. My lamp hours have to be over 1000 hours and I'd bet are close to 2000. The meter reset on me when I had it unplugged in storage for a few months. Anyways, I suspect lamp replacement is within the next year and want to be...

    Free - raised floor and RPTV stand

    Free - raised floor and RPTV stand Last year I moved to Virginia and have not reused these items. They are stored in my attached garage. Rather than take them to the dump, I figured I'd see if there was someone local to here that would like them for free. It would be a shame to destroy them...

    I wonder what these sell for: http://www.paradigm.ca/Website/SiteP...or_Series.html

    Starting over :( help

    You are right Paul and the garage definitely has enough size where I could frame out and sheet rock a better theater room than I had. The only negatives are any costs I put into finishing the space are pretty much unrecoverable when I resell the home being that it is garage space and loosing...

    $1k projector round-up

    Check out the Boxlight Matinee 1HD also. It's a Sanyo PLV-Z1 clone with a better warrantee and pixel guarantee. It's my pick for the price range. The 2HD is out also.

    Starting over :( help

    I have recently sold my house to move for a new job. I worked years on my home theater tweaking it and getting it just perfect. A few months before selling I added my first front projector and screen. The room was finally perfect. It was literally like Brewster's Millions, "I could die in here"...

    Popcorn Advice

    I pre-heat the electric bun prior to placing on the whirley popper. Oh, and I have the opposite opinion of micro-popcorn. I leave it in longer (not burnt) but to the point of almost burning......to each his own.

    Buying this week, need help from Sanyo PLV-Z1 owners

    I suggest emailing them and getting a refund of the $130. If they don't, you can stop the payment with your credit card company... projectorshopper is too much! I think it is time someone files an official complaint with the BBB. Its rediculous to have all these orders having slow shipping...

    Buying this week, need help from Sanyo PLV-Z1 owners

    I believe if it is deffective you deal with Studio Experience directly. I contacted them before I bought it from projectorshopper.com and confirmed that they were an authorized dealer. I agree with the above statements about projectorshopper. The problem is most of us have wanted a projector...

    You may want to try and email them to check. The last I saw it was either the screen or the DVD player.

    Buying this week, need help from Sanyo PLV-Z1 owners

    I got a chance tonight to snap some more pics. I got 1 black & white in there from Blade II (on DirecTv). I need a new camera! I took about 35 pics and only 11 are worth posting. Also, there is blooming on white areas that the projector does not bloom so take these pics with a grain of salt. The...

    Buying this week, need help from Sanyo PLV-Z1 owners

    Out of the box I didn't particular like 4:3 material on it. DirecTV looked fuzzier than my RPTV but I have since made a lot of setting changes to the projector. I have yet to hook DirecTV back into it but I will tonight and report. I did see some DVD 4:3 material with the specials on the Lord...

    LOTR, Twin Turbo... i mean Towers.

    I found this amusing. I finally watched Two Towers and never saw it in the theater. I held out as long as I could for my wife and finally watched it on my own late at night. The next day my friend came over to watch The Matrix. He never saw it. The matrix sounded very bright to me...
