Thanks for the reply. I just ordered a BD-35 from Amazon (they've got a pretty good deal going)and want to order the appropriate cables. My receiver (an Onkyo 5.1 HTIB unit) doesn't have HDMI inputs. It has component video and optical audio inputs. I assume I should use an HDMI cable to...

I have an older Onkyo 5.1 receiver with no HDMI input. Can someone please confirm that I'll be able to connect a DMP-BD35 to the optical audio input and get 5.1 DTS (non-HD audio)? My understanding is that the analog audio outputs on the DMP-BD55 are used by someone with an older 7.1 receiver...

Yep, I'll never get rid of my ADS's. I've set the center to phantom mode, but unfortunately, to do this with my receiver also requires deactivating the rear speaker. It still sounds better than with the speakers mismatched. I'll start looking around for a good surround speaker system and...

Does anyone know what brand of current speakers would have sound characteristics similar to the old ADS's? I'll probably buy a new center speaker and try them with my L-810's. If that doesn't work out, I'll then buy some front L&R speakers from the same line as the center speaker. I think I...

I'm using the Onkyo HTS-650 system and replaced the fronts with my old ADS L-810's, circa 1982. They outshine the stock Onkyo's by far. Now I need to get a new center speaker equally as good as the L-810's. The Onkyo center sounds very muddled and dull...sometimes I can't even understand the...

I have an Onkyo home theater setup and am using my old ADS L810 speakers as the mains (a huge improvement over the Onkyos). The problem is the center speaker (Onkyo) sounds terrible by comparison and the combination produces a very unbalanced effect. The Onkyo seems to have very poor high...

I just bought an HTS760 system and have a couple of speaker-related questions: I have some old ADS bookshelf speakers that I'm using in place of the Onkyo front speakers, since they sound a little better. Would it make sense to use the Onkyo fronts as the rear surround speakers, or would this...

I have a pair of 2-way ADS Model 400 speakers (8" woofer, 1' dome tweeter) that I bought back in high school 23 years ago (!). I'm running them off my 20 year old NAD 7100 receiver (50w/ch, 200 w/ch 'peak power'). Having lived overseas for several years, I recently hooked up this system...
