    You might want to look at focal (can get expensive, though). Same company that makes JM Labs.

    Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban DVD Glitch Thread (Please Read)

    I definately saw it... the wavy lines are very annoying... and I only have a 32" tv. Almost every seen that had black in, you could see the wavy lines. It was like watching cable (as someone earlier stated) I called warner on this... no comment yet...

    paradigm

    MichaelPR- Integra is made by the parent company of Onkyo. All in the family! Paradigm makes some great speakers, and since you mentioned the cinema 70 series, I'm assuming your budget is right around $800 for speakers. I would try to bump up to the performance series, but if your budget is...

    Television Shows I'd like to see to arrive on DVD.

    I'd like to see: He-man and the Masters of the Universe (orig) too in season sets or one big collection. It's corny, I know, but they are still enjoyable to watch. My other 2 tv on dvd shows that I was hoping would be released/announced have been! Roswell Home Improvement

    center channel vibrates tv and makes noise

    I noticed that too with my center channel... usually during dialog when people screamed or were yelling... my tv would resonate...I thought it was the speaker for a long time. I just stacked felt pad stickers to isolate and to tilt my center channel slightly down... total cost less than $1! And...

    My Onkyo 500 receiver get's extremely hot, should I put a fan in there w/ it??

    I have an onkyo HT-R500 and it does get quite warm/hot. I has about 4" of air space on top in a closed cabinet, though I do leave the glass door open for dvd viewing... I've used it continuously at loud volumes (75-80 volume...not dBs) for 4 hours plus...movie marathon...I use it for reg tv...

    Good 6x9 at a reasonable price?

    I've seen focal recommended. I had polks years ago in my first car that I thought sounded pretty good.

    Subwoofer Amp settings

    unfortunately...it was on my sys.... I had messed with the sat's amp a lot trying to tweak it...but never the subs never really noticed a prob with the sub per say, besides having little mid bass, but I always thought the problem was my 5.25s I changed the crossover to 100 changed 24 db...

    Subwoofer Amp settings

    For anyone who does installs, why would someone set up a 12" sealed sub with a 60hz low pass crossover when the 5 1/4 sats in front are crossed over at 100hz? the sub amp also had a limiter on it blocking all freq's below 30hz...

    Can somone recommend some good budge coaxials?

    I like pioneer premier/rev speakers... very laid back/natural sounding...4x6 and 6.5 pairs are under $200 I had 6.5 polks about 4 years ago that sounded pretty good A lot of people recommend focal...they get expensive fast though. you might be able to find some 6.5s for under $200... 5.25s...

    How low do these songs go?

    wow...not low at all... I guess the bass hits at high spls were just bottoming out the subs that I tested. thanks! I am seriously considering pb2 ultra... it seems to be the most sub for the money. Rudi- I just did a little searching for how people did waterfalls... so I downloaded...

    Big Thanks w/ Speaker Setup Question

    I would do exactly what tom said, set the speakers to small and use the lfe output on the receiver for the sub. congrats on your new system! let us know how it sounds.

    PC Speakers in an HT?

    Heh... Before I bought my budget htib system, I used my Altec Lansing computer speakers (about 2 months)! You just need a 1/8th to stereo rca plug which can be bought for $10 at radio shack... no need to plug into a receiver... just plug into the audio out of your tv... pc speakers are powered...

    How low do these songs go?

    I use a couple of songs to tests subwoofers, not necessarily because they're reference because I'm sure that they are not, but because they seem to push subwoofers to their limits (at least with what I've tested: mostly 12" car subs w/ 250-350 watt rms amps; earthquake, jl, kicker, rockford...

    Dvd series you recommend for...

    I'd highly recommend Roswell. :emoji_thumbsup: Watched the pilot about a month ago and shortly there after bought the season 1 set and have watched all the eps. I really can't figure out why I never watched it when it was on originally..

    My New HT!

    that is sweet! I just posted my theater a couple of days ago, but yours is pretty much exactly what I want (dream?) eventually! I really like those chairs and the in-wall rack.

    Home Theater Pictures: Mine is really Budget!

    thanks everyone, owen- I've thought about a diy. One of my friends built all of his own speakers, so I wouldn't be shooting in the dark. That or maybe a PB2-Ultra since everyone praises them or a servo-15 since I've heard it already. But, I'm in a townhouse/duplex right now, and my neighbors...

    Home Theater Pictures: Mine is really Budget!

    Heh I just got a digital camera so I thought I'd post my home theater, even though it pales to more than 90% of those on this forum! I just looked at Dave's post and his theater looks great. I did most of my research here before I bought my onkyos a year ago, and for what I paid, they sound...
