maybe you can ask directv for waivers to get the HD locals?

Get DirecTivo. I had netflix and now that I can record anything and everything, we cancelled netflix.

Go listen and decide what kind of sound you like. As was stated earlier, the speakers you list cover different spectrums. I have Axioms and I'm happy and proud of them. But, it may not be for everyone. I call it detailed, others call it bright. I may listen to B&W and call them "muddy" and...

my room is bigger, 18'x27' and my M22's and VTF2 are more than enough. (I also have the VP150 and QS8's.) I agree the M60's are louder and deeper. My next upgrade will probably be the M60's. But don't discount the value of the M22's and VTF2 (or similar). If cost isn't an issue, go for the...

i have a 45TX running Axiom M22's, VP150, QS8's and VTF2. Room is about 27' x 18' with hardwood floors, leather furninture, no curtains, no room treatments. It would seem to be a lively room but it's not. The Axioms sound great. (How's that for the "brightness" critics?) No strain for the M22's...

in order listen to SACD or DVD-A, you have to do the following: 1) Ensure that you are using analog multichannel connections between the DVD and AVR. It won't work w/ optical/coax connections. 2) Set up your DVD player for multichannel. I also have the 2200 and you have to go to the setup...

I demoed various Paradigms, specifically the monitor 7 and PRD12. At the time, I A/B'ed with some Wharfedale Evo 20's. The Evo's won. Now I have an Epic Grand Master w/ a VTF 2. In my opinion, the M22's and the VTF2 beat all of those. Much more presence and clarity.

Wow, I haven't heard that brand since the late 70's. We had pair way back and they were OK.

QS8's sound great on my Pio 45TX and Denon 2200.

i leave the cable flame wars to others. that debate never ends... I built my own cables using knukonceptz cables and radio shack banana plugs (they have locking ones that are solderable) You can get decent wire from Home Depot or Sound King from PartsExpress.com. I like the radio shack...

Yes, I thought finish on the EVO-8's surrounds in piano black was OUTSTANDING. I demo'ed the EVO20's as was impressed. However, because of the teardrop shape, i couldn't for the life of me, figure out how they would be wall mounted. I couldn't live w/ myself if I had to drill into the sides...

I also auditioned the EVO's w/ a PDR-10. I compared them to a Monitor 7 set up and like the EVO's better. However, looking at various forums, I ended w/ an Axiom Epic Grand Master System with VTF-2. Definitely a much more different sound, much more detailed. I am VERY happy w/ the setup and...

nope it's not that. The design is EXACTLY the same as the 563A. Looks like I may have to go back to the same store to get the details...

I saw this in a high end store today. Looks exactly like the 563A but I don't have any details on it, nor do I know the retail price. Does anyone have any details? BTW, I didn't ask the salespeople because they were a little too standoff-ish. They don't deserve any business from me.

HSU Ventriliquist

I would recommend asking Hsu directly (on their forum) for placement, settings assistance. I also have a VTF2 in a bigger room (15' x 22') and it MORE than does the job. I have to turn the volue down because it wakes up my wife on the other side of the house! I drive it with a Pioneer 45TX...

Gary Nice review. I've been contemplating this player and your review has some very nice detail.

I had the same problem w/ the remote. If you take a look at the manual on page 65, one of the small notes says that you have may have to put the remotes closer together when learning. I did that and everything worked. Unfortunately, nothing references the error message, which isn't too...

If you don't have a phone line near the Directv box, I'd recommend the RCA RF Modem jacks. I got them from Home Depot and they worked fine for my DirecTV/Tivo box. You want the RF Modem, not RF phone, because it seems to be more robust. The phone one did not work for me.

A few weeks ago I demo'ed the Paradigm mini monitors and Monitor 7's vs the Wharfedale Evo 20's, both with the PDR-12. The Evo 20's were much more detailed. The paradigms had more bass, but I preferred the Evo's. My plan was to go with Evo 20's Wharfedale center Evo 8's for rear PDR-12...
