    Looking for a new receiver

    My old receiver (Onkyo TX-NR818) died a while back. I’ve been through some rough times where I couldn’t afford to replace it. Now I can and I’ve been out the audio game for a while. I currently have an 7.1 surround system with axiom speakers and an SVS subwoofer. Hoping someone hear could point...

    Is looking a for a new tv as frustrating as it seems

    Yes, i did read that thread. then I read another thread that mentioned the horrible lag problems and screen tearing on the Samsung. I do game quite a bit, so a smaller lag time is optimal.

    need help deciding between onkyo tx-nr818, Pioneer SC-1223 , and denon avr-x3000

    Oh wow, i feel pretty sheepish. I have read about audyssey but have never used it. On my current receiver i just used the test tones and a sound meter.

    need help deciding between onkyo tx-nr818, Pioneer SC-1223 , and denon avr-x3000

    wow, i never really thought about all that. I don't need zone 2, I don't plan to use an amp so I don't really have an immediate need for pre outs. The height and width is not really an issue, as it will be sitting on a shelf with nothing above it. I would like to be able to interface with...

    Is not having TrueHd enough of a reason to not get the 360 addon

    Thanks for all your help guys. I went out and bought the addon. Plus I got Heroes S1, Planet Earth, and the Matrix trilogy for free. You should have seen the cashier's mouth drop when my amount went from 400 dollars down to 197.

    Is not having TrueHd enough of a reason to not get the 360 addon

    I'd say my ears are...functional. I am by no means an audiophile. I just like to hear stuff blow up good.

    Is not having TrueHd enough of a reason to not get the 360 addon

    I'm looking into buying the hd-dvd addon for my 360. I keep reading that it doesn't support Truehd audio. Is this a gamekiller, or can I live without it?

    Looking to upgrade

    I really like my Axioms. I guess I just had a bigger better syndrome. I thought if I liked these, then imagine what higher end speakers would sound like.

    Should I add the Dayton 10" sub ???

    I already own an SVS PB2-ISD. This is in a 14x20 room. I know I don't need the extra bass, but would it make a difference if I got the Dayton? I mean at 109 dollars, I'm just wondering if I could fit it in my system.

    Mounting rear speakers.

    I have the same speaker set. And I used this mounts. The speakers have a keyhole mount on the back. However none of the screws in the mount package fit the keyhole. So I took off the keyhole mount and attached the bracket that came with the above speaker mounts. Worked like a charm.

    Kenwood htb-505 v. Onkyo ht-s650: Now or Later

    Yeah, I would go with Onkyo. As I said earlier, I have the speaker system and I absolutely love it. And yes the rears do mount on the wall. I had to go to radioshack and by speaker mounts. They weigh about 4.5 pounds each. And they go up very easily. Hope this helps.

    Hi Chuck, I was in your shoes about 2 days ago. I was all set to pick up the onkyo system. Until I hopped on here to do some research on it. Thats when I found out about the problem the receiver has producing LFE in mode 3. What I did instead was to buy just the speakers ($269 at...
