Do reviews and people on this forum say the av123 brand of speakers sound better than the svs?

My room is ~ 12x15 12 being the distance from me to the viewing area. I was using 501's and Bose video speakers as center and surround so almost anything would be an upgrade. I already have a HSU sub which will stay as part of this setup. Now I'm looking for something between $500-1000. I...

Original? Not sure it is about 5 yrs old. Has a port on either side, which you can plug either one with the supplied foam plug. The driver is a 10 inch. I could take some pictures if you are interested and email them to ya Pete

I will look at best offers also.

Receiver is in Mint condition. Comes with manual, remote, and electrical cord. Asking $550 shipped to anywhere in the U.S.. Only used for watching movies, I'm the original owner now for around 5 yrs. Sub comes with electrical cord and manual. Original owner for 4 yrs now. Both receiver and...

LOL Probably not! Just did the test tone for the sub and put that at 80db. But when everything was hooked up before I didn't get the distortion I am now. The Big explosion in Terminator 3 in the beginning was all distorted. I jumped up to turn the sub down cause sometimes the baby goes...

I finally sold my crappy Bose and will be without speakers for awhile. In the meantime I thought I would still use just the Sub I kept(HSU) to give the TV speakers a little pep. Not sure how to adjust for the volume. I calibrated it with a sound meter to 80db but it seems to loud and...

anyone??? Noone runs video through their receiver?

Someone must run their video through the receiver. What are the pros and cons? Will I get a better picture?

I have had my Sony 30" WS HD TV now for a yr and finally going to hook a DVD player up to it. I have a Sony DVP-7000 1st generation player which has been great but not sure if it will be the best for the HDTV. I am assuming progressive scan is the way to go and I'm not ready to plunge into...

I have had this receiver for a few years now and was wondering if I should run my component hookup through it then to the tv. Right now I have been running it straight from the DVD to TV. What is the pros and cons of this? Also is this unit getting to be to old? Probably going to run a 5.1 setup...

Well I'm just going to use the Sony 30" widescreen HDTV for now. The back of that is just as big as the Toshiba. Thanks for the replies.

I have had this TV now for around 10 yrs. I'm looking to sell it locally and was just wondering what a starting price would be. I know you can get TV's now for 1000 or even less but just curious what I should put it in the paper for. The picture is still nice and some minor wear on the screen...

The main reason for a recorder is, my wife wants to tape stuff that she has taped on our SA 8000 to DVD so she can bring it to school and use it in class. Also the TV a HD Sony 30" is in our bedroom does not yet have a DVD player so I would like the PQ of the player to be somewhat nice and I'm...

Well what about the DVI? Does TW have this enabled on these boxes? And if so does it make a real BIG difference to go out and get one?

Well I just bought my first HDTV from BB and you guessed it, the Sony KV-30HS420 with free stand. Have it set up for a bedroom TV and is probably around 8ft from my viewing position. Most viewing will probably be at night with some viewing during the day but with the blinds for the windows...

Well since I posted I've read about a billion threads on hdtv's from here and avsforums.com I see there aren't that many in my price range and would have to spend more than she wanted to. My question now if I do get a HDTV which one. The only one I would consider being bigger than 27in...

Well wife gave me the OK for a new TV in the bedroom. Now she doesn't want to spend alot. Probably a 27in or bigger. Now me I would like to get a HDTV to see what all the fuss is about but they are around 600-800 and that is almost double what she will want to spend. Will a normal TV be the...

Well I had my wife pick up RIR last night at BB because my online delivery order was on back order for some odd reason. Told my 2 friends (I have more than just those 2) that love rush, that we would have a Rush party this weekend and watch RIR. They were as excited as I was. Well I just woke...

So the Criterion The Rock is not 16x9? The Description at Deepdiscountdvd says anamorphic widescreen? Also a previous post says it is, just wondering? Pete

Thanks for the replies everyone has been more than helpful. I guess my next question is any news on any of these titles coming out again in the near future to hold off on a buy today? I heard someone say something about another The Fifth Element coming out. Well I pretty much have to...

Well I have been very busy working out of town for the last 7 months in NYC(Boilermaker)can you say cha ching!! Anyways, have been out of the loop for awhile and I'm looking at my dvd collection and I have some old titles in there and was wondering if there were better copies out and are they...

Well they start digging my hole for the basement a week from Monday so I still have some time for research and answers. I am right now just looking to run some wire in my living room for my surround speakers so I don't have to run the wire across the floor or through the basement. I'm not...

You would need the Explorer 3100HD but not sure if every cable provider has these. You can check all these out at scientificatlanta.com Pete

I think its the programming. I only have been playing with it for a few days but like you said, HBO and some other movie channels have the 5.1. Some of the other "Digital" channels do play back on my receiver as Digital Stereo but the cable channels I had before going to Digital cable still are...

Well after reading alot of posts here and the Tivo community I decided to give Time Warners Explorer 8000 a try. I wanted to get DirectTivo but the wife likes to tape local stations and there was no way to do it and didn't want to shell out the bucks for a SA Tivo so I decided with the 8000...

Also I forgot to mention if I kept basic cable through TW which is around $8 could I record them with the Directtivo? Pete

Ok, wife tells me VCR is not recording and chews tapes now. Fix it she says!! Well I could buy a cheap new one or ask for some expert advice here on directivo. I have been reading about DTV and find nothing but good things. I don't do the bills but our local cable(Time Warner) is around $40...
