    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    Thanks for the help, guys. I'll probably go with the Sound King 12 ga. from Parts Express. If nothing else, it will give me peace of mind.

    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    I called 3 local A/V shops, 2 Radio Shacks, and Menards. I couldn't believe it was so hard to find. By the way, what is the average price for 12 gauge? Thanks a lot.

    Is 12 gauge speaker wire overkill?

    I've rearranged my HT room, and now my 16 gauge runs aren't long enough for the rears. The runs will be about 50' each, and since I'll be running them under the floor, I want to do this right the first time. So, would it be to my advantage to use 12 gauge wire instead of 16, or don't you think I...

    Independence Day DVD - what version to get?

    I haven't heard anything about a Limited Edition release. Any more info. on this, Shane? Unless it's a new transfer, I'll just get the 2-disc Digipack. Of course I want Widescreen! ;)

    Considering going HD and need some advice...

    First of all, I should mention we already have a Sony 36" HDTV; it's a 4:3. We currently have a rooftop off-air antenna and are thinking about upgrading to HD. Since we've never had satellite, this would be a HUGE step up for us. Anyway, I went to Circuit City yesterday and got some info. on...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Finding Nemo (TOTALLY RECOMMENDED)

    Yet another Easter Egg: Disc 1 - Select Bonus Features, then select Visual Commentary. Within the Visual Commentary menu, highlight the Virtual Aquarium icon (the fish with the box around it), and press Up to reveal another green fish icon. :D

He'd like to purchase at either Best Buy, Circuit City, or American, so he can audition them; therefore, online deals are pretty much out. Can you recommend...

    I already own the Extended Edition DVD of the first film and am anxiously awaiting TTT EE in November.

    Which Polk's for my room?

    Well, I'm using a Denon 1803, and the Jamo's are also 4 ohm. Am I going to have enough power? I didn't think the Lsi's would be that inefficient. And thanks for the help.

    Which Polk's for my room?

    I'm looking for some new front speakers. Right now I'm using two Jamo E800's and would like to move them to the rear and get some different fronts with a bit more bass. My living room is fairly large, at 22' wide and about 30' long, so there's a lot of air to push. Would you guys recommend a...

    MERGED: Upcoming Finding Nemo DVD thread

    On a side note, does anyone know if future Disney titles will be released as the Collector's Edition 2-Disc DVD's? Or will they continue to release the CE's of some titles after the regular version (like with Lilo & Stitch)? Double-dipping is a real bummer.

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones

    Hi, I was wondering just how much noise noise-cancelling headphones can block out. I was thinking of buying a pair for when I'm mowing the lawn (which is much too large). Do you think a pair of these would block out most of the engine sound from a noisy riding mower? If so, are there any models...
