My RPTV died after 10 years, have many other smaller LCD TV's in the house in other rooms, this will be for my main HT setup. Looking at the Samsung 6300 LED series. Thoughts? I've been running my existing system into the ground and will likely be forced to replace my Onkyo that doesn't have...
Well, he is now officially turned and he didn't have to hear my system to get there. Baraging him with Bose' threads and information turned him. He's now set to go with some BA inwall speakers and an Onkyo or Denon receiver.
Onkyo makes solid equipment period. My 797 purchased in 2002 has been running daily without a problem. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the brand for sound quality or build quality.
Oh, I have a decent HT....JBL S312's up front with an S-center...S36's in the rear and an SVS PB12+ for the low stuff, powered by an Onkyo 797. Trouble is I can't get him to take the time out of his busy day to come listen to it. Not top of the line by any stretch but beats the living S@#$...
I have a hunting bud who's looking very closely at the Bose' CineMate system. Please help me come up with a resonable alternative that will prevent him from spending money on Blowse. He doesn't want to spend over $500 and doesn't want to buy a receiver. (Don't ask me why)
The JBL mains are fantastic speakers. I've listened to the JBL sub (in store) and wasn't that impressed. I love my JBL main and SVS (PB12 Plus) setup. It is a great and affordable combo for music and movies.
Its not just about the watts. Don't get caught up in the numbers game. Its about the design and how everything works together more than it is about the watts.
Mike, I'd be willing to bet you are in the majority on this one as far as two channel is concerned. Anyone with less may be better off spending their money on a newer processor. I wouldn't buy a sub for a system that wasn't designed for one, but that is just me.
Congratulations Ron/Tom, but will it be "musical"!! I agree completely with your decision to leave off the XO. It gets left off on my PB1+.....Also, any "audiophyles" that won't use a DD processor also wouldn't use a subwoofer. Tubes and two channel man, that is all they're about. So that...
You're probably better off buying a better processor first. Not sure what your entry level system came with, but that will allow you some more flexibility when you want to upgrade your speakers.
Yes, its still a nice area. I'm familiar with Cherry Hill, but not the street you lived on. Nice place to live. Even though your Father worked for the "enemy"!
Thanks for watching my back on the "2nd" Frank. I was about to get all over that as well. I agree with the original poster. I feel some get out of control at times. But, its thier money and it keeps the economy rolling along. Frank, I think you need 2 more sets of B4 pluses to ensure a solid...
I have nearly the same size room and features as you, right down to the large 3 section window. Trust me when I tell you the PB1+ will be more than enough sub for you....I own one and am very satisfied with it. I too considered the PB2+ but the wood made the difference for me and I am very...
I've read good things about the Rocket UFW-10. Its well within your budget and I think you'd be happy. I've never heard one but there have been rave reivews of them over on av123.com. Look Here I'm an SVS owner and given your list of priorities I'd say this would be the best match. The SVS...
I watched ROTK tonight with my family. First movie with sustained bass that showed off the splendor of my PB1+. What a great movie for bass. The only problem is there were so many rattles it sometimes ruined the experience. Do I live with the rattles or is there something I can do to tame...
I've won only one thing in my life, I hold no hope what-so-ever of winning anything. But, I hope you found the survey informative. Are you going to post the results of the survey? There were some interesting questions that I'd be interested in seeing how we-all responded.
Curtis, I Love HSU and SVS, I exchanged emails with Dr. Hsu as well as Ron and Tom before selecting my sub. I'm not at all concerned that SVS didn't get a fair shake. I'm simply pointing out the hard time you and other HSU owners gave Craig AND Edward over their reviews. I thought the review...
I find it egregious that one of the HSU fanboys doesn't even have the cajones to post his mini review on this site. Indeed he can't even post it himself, he has one of his bud's do it on another forum. How is this test unbiased? We all know you're an HSU fan. Why didn't you follow the manual...
I am of the opinion that if you can't dedicate more room to your HT than what is required by those Bose cubes, you really don't want an HT. I wouldn't put a Bose system in my bedroom. But they are indeed selling them to someone.
Your room is a little smaller than mine and you aren't getting enough bass from an 16-46 Ultra? I have a PB1+ and its more than enough bass. Are you absolutely positive you're calibrated it properly? I really can't imagine needing more bass. I run mine typically at -25 so I've got the sub a...
