    Brick&Mortar HD-DVD rentals?

    I did a little searching, but I didn't find much info. I know I can rent via Netflix or Blockbuster online, but are there any Brick&Mortar stores offering HD-DVD rentals, yet? Locally, here in Chicagoland, neither Blockbuster nor Hollywood Video are carrying them.

    Number of outlets/circuits for HT?

    I'm in the middle of framing my dedicated HT, and it's time for electrical. The room is 22x15, and there will be a couple rows of seats, and a ceiling mounted projector. There will also be a component rack sunk into the rear wall. Right now, I know I'll need an outlet inside the rack, one in the...

    Concrete wall questions

    Three of the four walls in the theater room I am getting ready to begin construction on are concrete foundation walls. My plan for the fourth wall is a double-studded wall (not offset--actually 2 separate 2x4 frames). This wall will use resilient channel with a sheet of 5/8" drywall, then green...

    mouting speakers with resilient channel?

    I am planning a dedicated theater room right now, and I am intending to use resilient channel to hang the 5/8 drywall on the walls. One thought that came to mind is how do I hang my RS-7 surrounds on these walls? I know I have to avoid grounding the drywall to the studs, but what can I do to...

    What's all the **BUZZ** about?

    OK, I need help. I've read so many posts about ground loops, isolation transformers, and the like, I'm ready to give up this hobby, and try out painting...I bet there's no buzz when you're sitting next to pond painting a landscape (unless of course you've got a bumblebee dancing around your...

    Setting Levels for rear surrounds?

    What have you used to set levels on your rear surround (EX) speakers in a 7.1 system? I've got an Avia disc, but it seems that it only has test tones for 5 speakers plus the sub.

    Outlaw 950 and HD video switching?

    Can anyone comment on how well the 950 handles HD video switching? I am considering one, but I'd like my Pre/Pro to handle my video switching, and I don't want to sacrifice HD quality.

    Outlaw 950 v. Denon 3803

    I just received my new Klipsch Reference 7 speakers. I'll be running RF7s and RC7 up front, RS7 and RB75s in the rear to make up my 7.1 (SVS PB2+ to come soon). I already have a 5 channel amp--Parasound 1205a--so I need another 2 channel amp to round that out. My question is around...

    Multiswitch and diplexer question?

    Right now, I've got an antenna (for OTA HD) in the attic along with my four cables from my DirecTV. All four of the cables are being used, and I have one of them along with the OTA RG6 cable running to a diplexer, and the resulting cable runs down through the wall a couple floors to the family...

    Looking for good, low-cost sub to be used w/Quintets

    A friend of mine is just starting out in HT, and he recently purchased Klipsch Quintets. We're looking for a good sub to finish it out, but I'm having some problems meeting his tight budget. He's looking to spend no more than $250. Any thoughts? I had been looking at the JBL...

    Disappearing Blue on DVD!

    Help! I think I have a problem with my DVD player. I've run into a problem the last couple nights while my son was watching DVDs. During Finding Nemo and Ice Age, midway through the movie, it seems the blue has been washed out. When I stopped the movie, it was very noticeable on the...

    Klipsch lovers-Have you heard Axiom?

    My new house will be ready in January, and my wife and I will be building a HT in the basement. Originally, I had planned on 7.1 setup running Klipsch Reference 7s all around (RFs, RC, RSs, and a pair of RB75s for the rears), but unfortunately, my "deal" on Klipsch speakers may have fallen...

    SVS comparison chart?

    Suggestions for amp/pre-amp?

    My wife and I just recently sold our house, and as part of the deal, the buyers purchased my Reference 3 system, SVS sub, and Onkyo receiver. (I was sick for a week!) However, we will be putting a theater room in the basement of our new house that we are buiding, and this makes room for...

    So what don't you like about your Outlaw?

    I currently have Klipsch Reference 3 series speakers with a constant eye out for a reasonably priced set of used 7 series. I also run an SVS 20-39PCi. I'm looking to upgrade my power source in the next few months, and the Outlaws have really caught my attention. I'd like to go separates, and...

    Powering Klipsch Reference?

    I have a set of Klipsch Reference 3s, and I am currently using an Onkyo TX-DS595 to power them. I am looking to add a rear center and upgrade my receiver in the not-too-distant future, and I was wondering what others have been happy with. I've been looking at the Denon 3803 and the Marantz 7200...

    Subwoofer to complete entry level system?

    My dad is finally taking the plunge into home theater, and I'm the lucky one to go shopping for him (heaven knows whether he'll be able to operate any of this after I hook it up for him!) We're staying pretty entry level. So far he's got my old set of Klipsch Quintets. For a receiver, we're...

    Onkyo 595 problems with LFE out?

    OK,OK, this is my first post and maybe it should be over in the receiver section, but it's a subwoofer related question so I figured I'd throw it out to all you bass-heads. Currently, I have an Onkyo 595 with Klipsch Quintets and a Klipsch KSW-12. I know a few other people with the same sub...
