    Toshiba 50HX81 + Progressive Scan DVD

    Thanks for the replies... Bob: I had rubber feet on my center channel. The old TV's plastic enclosure was just too thin I suppose. The new TV's enclosure looks to be made of particleboard. Perhaps TV manufactures are now more aware of and accommodating the use of center channels atop their...

    Toshiba 50HX81 + Progressive Scan DVD

    Greetings - I recently acquired a new Toshiba 50HX81 RPTV (my old 36" finally bought the farm). From what I understand, the 50HX81 has built-in progressive scan (480i -> 540p) and built-in 3:2 pull-down. I am using a Panasonic CV-36 (a non-progressive scanning player) as my DVD player. Some...

    Where is the best place to mount Bass Shakers in a Sofa?

    Hi Jeff - I'd like to add that my bass shakers (Aura 25 watt) seemed to perform better when mounted vertically... so they shake the sofa up and down instead of side to side. Have fun with your setup... ------------------ Jerold Burrow

    Y-ing the LFE? No Loss of Sound?

    Hi Derek - I just picked up a pair of the Aura's from Ubid. I bought a used NAD 2240PE 2-channel amplifier from a local audio store to drive them. I Y-ed the LFE output from my receiver -- as you are thinking of doing. The LFE level did drop some, but I just increased the gain on my sub to...

    Outlaw 1050 -vs- HK Signature 2.0/2.1

    Thanks a bunch for everyone's input. I still can't decide what to do, but at least I know that either choice would be a good one. ------------------ Jerold Burrow

    Outlaw 1050 -vs- HK Signature 2.0/2.1

    I realize the two setups should not be treated as if they were in the same class... I guess what I'm looking for is the better of the two system per dollar value. On one hand the 1050 is a $500 receiver with more bells and whistles, excellent build quality, and from what I understand great...

    Outlaw 1050 -vs- HK Signature 2.0/2.1

    Greetings - Which one of these setups do you folks feel would be the better value? At $500 I hear the 1050 is an outstanding unit with above average build quality. The HK 2.0/2.1 combo (re-manufactured / re-warranted) was at one time HK's flagship setup -- now available for $1000 over at...

    Outlaw 1050 - Audio Characteristics

    Thanks for all of the responses! The more I think about it, the more I see myself picking up a new receiver w/Re-EQ (Marantz or Denon). Upgrading the speakers just isn't in the cards right now... besides, I was planning on picking up a higher end receiver anyway. Regarding the volume levels...

    Outlaw 1050 - Audio Characteristics

    I was wondering if anyone could describe the audio characteristics of the Outlaw 1050 for me? For example, I've heard Yamaha receivers described as bright/non-musical, and Marantz receivers as musical/laid back. I currently own the following: Yamaha rx-v420 (av receiver) PSB Image 5T (Mains)...
