I have an older Pioneer Pro Logic receiver an the remote broke. Many functions are accessible only thru the remote. I went to Radio Shack and bought their 6-1 univeral remote. About 3/4 of the functions work, but some important ones don't. What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Phil,
Since I was going to spend a grand, is the s series worth the price/performance difference?? Does the s36 wall mount nicely. Does it swivel?

Phil,
Do you work for JBL :-)hehe
I've seen many of your replies on many JBL posts and you have stirred my couriousity. I'm a newbie to this 'hobby' so I am having trouble judging speaker quality and relying somewhat on other opinions, and the old saying that you get what you pay for. I've...
I have about $1000 to spend on 5.1 surround speakers. They must be wall mounted, small. I pretty much have my mind set on Energy Encore's, $995 online.
But I keep reading great reviews on the JBL NSP1's. I havent heard them yet, but do they really compare to a speaker like the Encore?

I am going to purchase Energy Encore satalite speakers(sats are my only option with my room setup).
With the limitations of such speakers, at what point does the quality of the receiver not matter. Will a $300 Onkyo, Kenwood, etc sound as good as a mega buck setup, due to speaker limitations...
I was writing evan's reply and a bunch of other replies showed up. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

I really appreciate your advice. And yes, if I had to choose right now, I would go with my gut and get the BA vrm-50 or 60.
However, my friends call me a 'German Perfectionist', actually a 'F---ing German Perfectionist', and I cant move forward until I have totally convinced myself...
This is my first serious crack at serious audio equipment. I thought I would start by replacing my speakers, starting with the front 2 first. Spend about $1500-2000 on all five speakers. Small/moderate size bookshelfs are a requirement.
I have visited several audio stores listening to...
I bought my 15 year old an xbox for christmas. I saw it was DD 5.1 compatible. Whats that I asked myself. I've been wanting a better audio system, perfect time to upgrade(great wife story). So I just thought I would venture off to CC and buy 'the best', probably spend a grand.
Then I came...
By the way, I'm a newbee at this, have read a lot, much of here, and have seen a lot of Bose bashing.
Well they had a set of Bose lifestyle's in the same room as the VRM-50's. I asked the guy to switch to the Bose. What a joke! I actually started laughing. Now I know why all the Bose bashing...
Boston Acustics VRM-50.
I am in process of building my first HT. I want to spend less than $1500 for the speakers and must be small in size.
Hence, I started out listening to sats(paradigm and DT cinemas), but they just dont float my boat.
So today I started looking at small bookshelfs...
I'm a newbee in process of researching the purchase of a home theater system. I guess I'm showing my age, but in general I listen to movies/music at low to moderate levels.
So my question is, are there other considerations for 'low/moderate volume' systems. IE, do large giga watt speakers...
