    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    Thanks for the tip. Jeeze, I never anticipated shopping being this hard. So the regular price of the 10" in rosewood is $599, say the B-stock is $499, and then you get 20% off that? And can you buy yourself a gift vertificate and then get the additional 5% off that? Sounds too good to be true...

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    Hey guys, the rocket does look nice and the price is reasonable. The budget I initally gave was just sort of a rough number. It obviously all depends on how much the PC+ sells for. My main goal was not to come out of pocket anything at all. But if I had to for $100 or so, that's not a biggie...

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    I'll have to check out the Rockets. I actually have a pair of the Swan 2'1's (in the closet) and I've always been happy with them. When you say real wood, do you mean real solid wood, or real wood veneer?

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    Well, I have an email into HSU. I see the gloss black VTF-2 is on sale and I'm curious to know if that's truly limited stock, or what. And also to see if the VTF-3 in rosewood might be on sale anytime soon again. Are there pretty substantial differences between those two subs? I need to start...

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    The VTF-2 in high gloss is on sale. That might be something to consider, and might be an even trade for my sub. Decisions...decisions......

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    Yeah, I'll definitely have to consider HSU. Not counting them out at all. I went to the site and saw the "$699" sale price on the VTF-3 and then saw the rosewood, and said that's my sub. And then I noticed the "+$200" price for that. :) We don't watch all that many movies. In fact, I've had...

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    You know....I never thought of another fabric. I still need to talk to her to get her opinion, but I am pretty sure she's going to want something more non-obtrusive. That's why I was thinking a box.

    Thinking about replacing my SVS cylinder with a box?

    Hi gang, Right now I have a theater/bonus room (which hardly gets used, by the way). It's fairly big, about 20x20, and I have a SVS PC-Plus, the 25-31. We are most likely selling this house and moving into something much smaller. The TV/Living room will be all in 1, and no where near the size...

    Best Upconversion DVD Player Under $400?

    Would the Oppo and the Denon have the same PQ, since they use the same chip? I need a new DVD player and only have a 2.1 setup, so I really don't need the DVDA or SACD. Aaron

    Upscaling/HDef DVD Player merged thread

    I second Dave's request. I have an older HDTV with component out and am thoroughly confused which upscaling player to buy. Also, I have a Panny RP-82 (best bargain player from a few years ago) and am wondering if it even makes a big difference to replace it.

    WTB: Cheap LCD TV mount

    Hi, I am looking for a TV mount to use for a 15" LCD TV. This TV will need to be mounted up in the corner of the ceiling. We were at Circuit City last nite about the purchase the TV (Samsung 15") and I was just taken back by the fact that they wanted $119 for the mount. Anyone have...

    Recommendation for (CHEAP?) wall mount for Samsung 15" LCD

    Hi, My wife wants a TV in the bathroom. We actually put in a cable and electrical outlet in the corner of the room next to the ceiling. So we went shopping for LCD TV's last nite and both of us liked the Samsung LT-P1545 which was on sale for $323. But then I asked how to mount the TV in...

    How often does the Dayton sub go on sale?

    Granted, it's not even in stock right now, but I want to buy the sub in the next few weeks. Is it worth waiting for it to go on sale? Or could that be a few months from now? If anyone has been watching the price on this, I'd appreciate hearing your experience. Thanks! Aaron

    Upscaling/HDef DVD Player merged thread

    Hi gang, I'm looking at re-doing my HT and moving to a front projector setup. Maybe something like the Panny AE700. I've also just begun reading on these upconverting DVD players. Its amazing what technology comes out in just a few years. I bought the Panny RP-82 maybe 2 years ago when it...

    GETTING AN SP 4805!!....Question

    Does anyone have the Costco SKU or model number. My local store is not able to find it. Also, is anyone watching HD with the 4805? If so, are you happy with it? I certainly like the $1499 price to get me started, but I've been doing some reading and the Panny AE700 seems to be a good unit...

    GETTING AN SP 4805!!....Question

    Can you comment more on the "Costco deal". Do they sell the 4805? I'm just beginning my projector search and it seem the 4805 is very popular and I'd love to buy from Costco, but it's not listed on their website. Thanks! Aaron

    New HDTV, mixed opinions.

    480P DVD images should look pretty much the same on your new HDTV as they do on my old 27" Sony Trinitron. Like the previous poster said, you need to see some HD images.

    Shopping for a 42-46" LCD/DLP rear projection TV

    Just doing a little reading over at AVS. Have you guys seen all the negative posts for the Samsung DLP's? It's almost enough to scare you away..... And id I didn't ask this clearly enough in my original post, has anyone compared the stretch modes for either of these 2 TVs? That will obviously...

    Shopping for a 42-46" LCD/DLP rear projection TV

    Hi everyone, I'd like to purchase a smaller rear projection TV to replace an aging 32" Sony Tube TV. I've done some very initial research and am considering the Sony 42" Grand Wega LCD KF-42WE610 and the Samsung 46" DLP HLP-4663W. The TV will be mainly used for SD material, although I...

    Fable Pre-order DVD available now

    I saw a preview of this the other day while surfing. Is this XBOX only, or is there a PC version scheduled?

    Finally got KOTOR - could someone give me a brief overview?

    James T - fair enough, I understand. Yeah, I don't want to ruin anything either. Scott, the game is on sale this week for $19.99. It's still marked $29.99 on the box, but the store flyer has it for $19.99. The trick is - use the "Gamer's Gift Card". This is a gift certificate card that you...

    Finally got KOTOR - could someone give me a brief overview?

    Hi gang, Believe it or not, I FINALLY picked up KOTOR. Bought it at Best Buy today for $15. I've never been able to pay $40-$50 for a game, and today it was finaly cheap enough. I remember reading some of the threads way back in the day and there were certain skill points or something that...

    $3000 to replace 64" rear proj set - what would you do?

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I just don't know if a ~30" CRT is the ticket here, or not. The room is quite big. We sit approximately 15' (maybe more) from the TV location. It's great for the 64", but I think the 32" or whatever tube TV would be dwarfed in the room. It sounds like, from what you...

    $3000 to replace 64" rear proj set - what would you do?

    What projector is everyone buying in the $2000 range? I'm guessing $2000 cause the extra $1000 would be spent on a screen and cabling (as the DVD, receiver, tuner) etc are on opposites sides of the room as the projector would be. Aaron

    $3000 to replace 64" rear proj set - what would you do?

    Hi group, I may be replacing a 64" rear projection TV soon. The room has blackout shades, so light control is possible, although during the day I don't necessarily like to have to make it pitch-black to watch TV. This TV has a wide range of functions, everywhere from SD cable, digital cable...
