Thanks guys for all the quick responses. I really loved the way that the Paradigms sounded. I've heard quite a few times that axioms can be a bit bright. I'm not worried about bass at all, I just got my svs and it is incredible. So i'll probably stick with the paradigms i was just trying to...
I just bought an SVS pci+ that should be here tommorrow. I was looking for some new fronts and loved the studio 20s from paradigm. Are the axioms comparable? I see all the great reviews for them and was just wondering if i should go that route and save a little cash. Thanks in advance, Derek
Thanks guys for the quick replies. Looks like i'll be waiting another paycheck before my next purchase, but oh well its kinda what i wanted to hear anyway hehe. Thanks again, Derek
I can get the velodyne here locally at Circuit City for around $700 and i have heard what it can do. Plus it got a great review a few months ago in Sound and Vision. On the other hand all i here is good things about SVS. I listen to about a 50/50 music and movies mix, so i'm not sure how the...
Yeah there is no way that in my living room (around 200sq ft.) i would be able to crank it all the way up like it is right now anyhow. Could be a fun little project in my spare time just to mess around with to see if there is any difference. I'll let you know how it works out if i try it though...
Thanks for the info. Didn't figure it would be easy to do, or even worth it, since i did a search and couldn't find anything on it. But hey i figured i would ask anyhow. I get your point too about it not being a big deal not to use the power. I guess its not like i need anymore anyhow its...
I got my HK 525 at the perfect time about a week an a half ago. I bought it at hhgregg for $999 + tax. Came back the next day and had them match the Circuit City at $719 with their double the difference price guarantee. Got it for $470 after taxes :) Can't beat it. They lowered their price the...
I just purchased a HK 525 and am only running a 5.1 setup. Does anyone know if there is a way to hook up my rear back surround amps up to my fronts to bi-amp my front speakers? My room really isn't big enough to run a 7.1 system and it seems silly to not use all the power. Any help would be...
Yeah i can't get OTA signals as it is here. I have decided to go for an HDTV. I just can't see spending around a thousand dollars for a tv that i am not going to want in a couple years, when i can get one for 2000-2500 that will last me and not be out of date in a couple year....well who knows...
Thanks for the fast reply. I called up and they don't send anything HD yet but they said they are working on it and will be in the near future. I would be able to get a dish probably the way everything here is set up but then i would have to give up my cable modem so i'll probably just end up...
I am planning on getting a new tv soon and can't decide between HDTV and regular analog. I am stuck living in an apartment for atleast the next 2 years and all i can get is cable tv. Sorry to sound like an idiot but can you get cable broadcast in HDTV? If not should i just get a regular analog...
It is too bad you don't want another kenwood. I know they aren't the best but their new vr7070 is THX certified and has pretty much everything you would want. Last years model was tested by sound and vision to put out 92 watts per channel with all 6 channels driven. I'd be interested to see what...
Ecost has a refurbished Kenwood vr605 for $89.99. It does DTS and Pro Logic II, and has 2 coax ins and one optical in. This would probably work pretty well for what you are looking to get. They also have a Denon avr483 at $120.05 that has similar features that would be a good choice too. Just a...
I don't know if this will help you out with your decision or not but 6th Ave electronics has the kenwood brand new for only $317.77 + shipping, and their shipping prices are great. About $340 shipped for a THX certified reciever is an amazing deal. If you don't mind refurbished ecost has the...
Is there anywhere that anyone knows of that still sells the S50s? I have the SC2 center and the S20 rears and i would love to find a pair of S50s for fronts. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks Derek
I don't know how good they are or if anyone has had any experience with them but Parts Express has 5.1 setups from TEAC for $178 shipped in your choice of finishes with free shipping. I know parts express has a pretty good reputation too. So I would probably either suggest that or the onkyos...
