    Anyone have / seen the PS3 used on standard tv (non HD)

    I was able to get my son a Sony PS3 for christmas. Right now, it will be used on our 10 year old 37" Toshiba. I know that the graphics are incredible when used on the HD sets but I would really like to be able to wait a while longer before I buy one of those as I do not watch that much...

    Def Tech BP10 or BP30?

    About to buy Def Tech speakers and was informed by Def Tech via email that they recommended buying the BP10 over the BP2006 or BP2004 since I already have a dedicated sub (SVS). They said that the 6.5" drivers in the BP10 will be much inproved over the others mentioned which have 4.5" and 5.25"...

    Def Tech experience? Please help!

    I was in my closest HT store this weekend and listening to the Def Tech power towers which I like the sound of for HT. I have built an addition onto my home and have converted the old garage (20x20) for family room / HT. The salesman said that the 2006TL series would not adequately fill the room...

    I posed this question to Def Tech. Now tell me what you think. I am thinking of buying Def Tech 2006TL / 2300 / BP2X speaker system. I already have an SVS sub. Should I still buy the "power tower" 2006TL with their built in sub, or buy something else like the BP10? Def Tech's reponse was "the...

    Well, I have recently upgraded my receiver with a Denon 3802 and bought the Panasonic RP56 DVD player. I am now ready to replace the Bose acoustimass with some real speakers. My wife and I enjoy music also so the speakers have to do equally well musically. What are your recommendations for a...

    Will SVS help my Bose Acoustimass? Or upgrade fronts?

    After reading all the posts, I have come to realize that the Bose Acoustimass is not highly regarded, but after listening to a few minutes tonight, it really does not sound that bad. I have to upgrade the receiver because I only have a pro logic receiver, but I am thinking of upgrading more...
