I bought mine form the continental deal. I sold my Oppo and Zenith DVB318 and added some $$, not much to buy the Toshiba. I am glad I made the that decision. Not only the HD-A1 is an HD DVD player, it's also one a heck of upconverting player. I find it better than my Oppo and Zenith. Even if the...

Thank you Chris. I'll check it out.

Thank you John & Chris. It seems that you guys give the edge to the Ascends. I should then give no weight that the fact M6 is class A rated by Stereophile. Me fool thought that meant high end sound on a beer budget. :)

I meant M6 will play the louder without distortion and strain in my large room. If you can comment on the differnce in SQ between these two, I am all ears. Thanks.

Thanks for your quick reply, John. Your response however made it even more difficult to choose between these two. Since my room is 12 x 25 x 8, I thought the NHT might play louder and cleaner and is a more dynamic than than 340SE hence better fit for HT in a large room. Is this assumption about...

John, I am considering upgrading my speakers form my current Mirage Omni setup to either the Ascend 340 or three NHT M-6 acroos the front. Since you have heard both, the Ascend and the NHT M-6, which one would you consider to be the better speaker, ignoring the price difference between the two...

Well, a lot of people are raving about the new inexpensive digital receivers all over the internet audio forums. Everybody that have heard these digital amps are saying that they deliver sonic that are comparable to separates for a mere $300.00 or less. Some of the receiver mentioned are...

Another request for the NAD T763 review.

John, I was hoping to get an answer from you by the begining of this week as you promised, it is now Friday and I am still waiting. I also dropped you an email with my email address so that you can email me a link to the past issues and you haven't responded yet. Please send it if you can this...

Marc, if City of God is your 2nd movie of the year I wonder what your 1st movie of the year is.

To revive this great thread from the dead and see if Steve O is out there somewhere. I really enjoy your review/comments about foreign movies, Steve O. Why quit? Where are you? Would like to hear about your recent viewing. Meanwhile here are my very highly recommended the foreign movies...

How about some plasma displays? Particularly the hotly debated ones on Internet forums; Panasonic 42Pd3, Pioneer pro800 same as 433CMX, Fujitsu P42VHA20US and the hot new comer 46" BenQ PDP46W1?

FIY Guys, Etronics.com also has the HK 7200 for $1350.00 , though not an authorized dealer.

Thanks for your help, guys! Time to rock the house!!!!

Best CD's or songs to test base performance of my system? If you list CD's please specify which track/song. You can also include any song that you believe provides the best overall workout for any speaker system.

Chu Gai, thanks for your input. I did some research yesterday and came to the same conclusion. I will pick up the cheapest.

How about Monster THX sub cable for $20 from Circuit City?

I do not wish to spend more than $20 for 12'sub cable. Better cables might be better, but it too expensive for me.

So those expense subwoofer cables do not increase performance? Just marketing hype?

I have to pick some spikes from partsexpress so I guess if the performance is the same then I will save some shipping charge of buying the cable elsewhere. Still would like to here more input.

What type of subwoofer cable gives optimal performance? I have found Acoustic research pro series 12' for $15 and Dayton cable from partsexpress.com for $12. Does it matter which brand I use. Need help fast . Thanks.

That is the same tweeter they use in the Onix Rockets.

The Polk Lsi series has been getting excellent reviews by all the major AV magazines, the absolute sound, Stereophile, Goodsound, Soundstage to name just a few and by owners here on HTF and on AVS forums. Some are suggesting this are better than the Rockets and some B&W speakers. Anybody had a...

Hi Paul, I am planning only a 5.1 set up now. Since I live in an apartment I don't have a room for the extra speakers. My main concern now is to drive the diamonds with ease and have some useful features. I've read in this forum and elsewhere the the earlier version of 10 series have had some...

I recently bought the Wharfedale Diamond 8 cinema package for 100% HT use. The Diamonds are have a sensitivity rating of 86db and impedance of 6 ohm, so that means they are power demanding speakers. My question is should I get the HK AVR 320 which is rated 55x5 all channel driven or the AVR 510...

Thank Lerenzo, you're on the money. Pioneer is not recommended for use with speakers with less than 8 ohms. I even called IAG America and said the Pioneer might not be a good mate with Wharfedale Diamonds. The Diamonds are low sensitivity( 86db)6 ohms speakers.

Thanks for thoughts John. The audioreview.com review refer only to the Yamaha HTR-5560 not the other two.I said the Denon 1802 is considered the best HT receiver by many Pro( Hi-Fi Magazines) not reviews posted at audioreview.com As for my speakers I am thinking of getting Wharfedale Diamond 8...

1)Which of these budget receiver is best for 100% HT setup? The Yamaha 5560 is relatively new and is getting top reviews at audioreview.com I read somewhere that the Pioneer 811 turned out to be so good, Pioneer has added it to the Elite series with very few changes and market it as Elite...

Hi Paul, thanks a million for taking the time to respond to my basketful of ????:) Your reply was very helpful. BTW I called IAG America this morning and was told they won't be shipping the Emeralds to Ubid anymore but rather to Amazon.com They priced a bit more than I can afford at Amazon.com...
