I have done a lot of reading and some testing and it appears that the best picture quality with my 51h83 TV though component inputs actually comes from sending a 480 i signal to the TV and allowing the TV to upconvert to 1080i. I am still alittle fuzzy on how this conversion works but I gather...

I was browsing though audiogon looking at Canada listings. I came upon this Hafler DH500 for a very reasonable price in Canada. 255 W x2. I'd love to add some nice clean power to the front for my Rotel RSX 1055. I have not been able to find much info on these amps. Are they good, bad etc...

I have had my Rotel RSX 1055 and Monitor 7, CC370 Mini Monitor Pw 2200 setup together for almost 2 months now. I am pretty happy with it the Rotel has very clean sound and the Monitor series are a good jack of all tradeds for the price. Here is my "issue". My room is 15 X 17 in the...

I had a length of 12 GA wire left over from setting up my syatem. I was going to wind it up and put it away but I figured I got some spare time(wife was out) So I made some short jumpers out of them, fooled around for a while trying to get them to fit in the binding posts and still accept the...

After months of searching, lots of great advice from forum I finnaly made a commitment by putting a deposit on a Rotel RSX 1055. I was "this close" to buying the NAD T752 becuase it had excellent power, sounded almost as good as the Rotel and cost a lot less. But I still had quality concerns...

The WAF looms its ugly head. I was going to move my Paradigm Atoms upstairs for my wife in the new house. This will be a 2 speaker only system. Mostly for background CD music, watching TV and the occasional DVD. She does not care about surround sound and isn't a critical listener. The...

My new HT room is 15 Wide by 17 long. There is a 3 foot "wall" (well 3 feet up the wall there is a big opening like a window) that just outso here is my question. The best place to put my couch will mean if I sit in the middle of the couch one surround will be 3 feet farter away then the...

Back again looking for more advice. Thanks for input on the value of buying locally, I think I have just about decided that the extra couple hundred dollars will be worth it in the long run because if I ever need to upgrade and I buy online my local guys are not gonna want to help me out the...

am having a bit of a dilema and don't know if there is a solution but maybe people would share their feelings. All names and numbers have been changed to protect the innocent I am moving into a new house and have been given permission by the "finace chairperson" (read wife) to make a home...

After posting regarding ordering an HK 525 from etronics to be shipped to Canada I recieved and offer from a Canadian online retailer. Next Big Thing Electroincs. The price although not quite as inexpensive was still what I felt very attractive and becuase it is a Canadian retailer I feel I...

I have my CC370 on top of my 29 inch TV (That I will replace someday when I get the $$). It appears that the tweeter may be firing up a little. Should I tilt the speaker down, if so how much (what do I use to measure??? and what do I place under it that is secure and will not allow vibration...

Good thing my wife doesn't read this forum as she would kill me for even thing about this. Sometime in the next 6-8 months we will move into a house with a room I can have just for HT. I'll be keeping my Monitor 7s CC370 and PW 2200 Sub. I'll probably sell or trade my Denon 1603. For $1500 US...

I currently have my Hitachi DVD player using Coax intot the coax digital in on my Denon 1603. I have read a lot of posts regarding internal DAcs etc. I was wondering what opinions people would have on if I would be better to use an anolog connection ALSO and run it into the CD input of my...

I have Monitor 7s (only a week old) driven by a Denon 1603 (80 wpc x5). I have done a search read lots of debate but thought I would ask for expereinces from owners of the same brand and more specifcally similar or same speakers. I currently have cables I made myself using 12 gauge Thunderbolt...

I did a search but most of the info was on other Denon modles that are much more expensive than my 1603 and may work in a different manner. I have denon 1603, Paradigm Monitor 7s and Pw 2200 subwoofer. I am usin the coax output from a Hitachi DVD player. In the setup I have front speakers set...

I was very excited to pick up my Monitor 7s, CC 370 an PW 2200 system on staurday. The dealer gave me what I though was a pretty fair deal about 16-17% off (altough I have heard of better their service has always been good). Here was the ting they did not have any of these in the box they would...

I listened to all 3 today in both stereo and with their matching centers. I also listened to JMLabs (too bright), Axiom M60 (liked them but dealer was way too critical of competing brands I know what I like I don't need someone to tell me what to like) ans PSB (not bad not great). I have...

I have a Denon 1603 (80 watts x5). I will probably be keeping my PDR12 Sub and Atom rears for Now. I am ready to do listening tests and get some new fronts (and a center form the same manufacturer). I want to spend about 1000 USD ($1500 Canadian) for the fronts and a center. I know I need to...

I have read a lot of good reviews regarding the Rocket speakers. I had been thinking about maybe Paridgm Studio 20 or 40s. I think I saw the 20s (might have been 40s but think it was 20s) for 799 Canadian (you could get 10% off probably so around 700 street price + 15% HST r 805 out the door...
