    $400 help a newbie out

    I personally would go with a nice stereo reciever and a decent set of bookshelves. Pick up a decent DVD player with it. What comes to mind are the JBL S26II's from jandr.com a real good deal at 150 a pair with free shipping. For a receiver I would look at the Denon DRA-685 you can find...

    CD Player Recommendation

    As a poor college student, my budget is certainly under 200. I have been looking at the Denon CD Players to match with my current setup. The DCM-370 looks like a great CD player for the money. I cant find any denon CD players on ecost.com though. Maybe it was just a special.

    Denon DRA-685

    I recently bought a DRA685 refurbished from a seller off of eBay and when I change input sources or mute the receiver, it makes a sort of clicking noise. Is this common with these transistor receivers or should I pick up the phone and call Denon?

    Bookshelves for Dorm Room

    That might not be too good because my receiver is rated at 100 wpc. and those are rated at 50w continuous. I found on jandr.com that the S26's are 150 with free shipping. Im leaning toward those right now, with the mirages coming in second.

    Bookshelves for Dorm Room

    First of all, I want to thank you all for your responses. I am on a pretty tight budget and I would like to stay under 300 for my speakers. I looked at Wharfdale 8.1's because of the good rating as well as the Axiom line. does anyone have an opinion on these speakers?

    Bookshelves for Dorm Room

    I recently bought a Denon DRA 685 for music listening in my dorm room and I have yet to find speakers to go on the receiver. I have listened to Titans and some Boston bookshelves, both seemed lacking in different areas. Basically, I need a recommendation for a good set of bookshelf speakers...

    Complete Dorm Room Setup

    Well I decided to spend a little more money then I originally planned because of some financial good fortune (my work study was not subtracted from my bill yet :) ) and I have actually gone and bought a Denon DRA685. I traveled about an hour to hear the Paradigms and all that his store had in...

    Complete Dorm Room Setup

    well, its coming along pretty good. So far I think Im going to get a Harman Kardon 3370 for my receiver. Im still kind of stuck with the whole speaker thing. Ive looked at PSB's, Paradigm's and I saw a speaker company called Acoustic Energy on eBay. Are these Acoustic Energy speakers any...

    Complete Dorm Room Setup

    There isnt really anyone where I live who is into home audio. So its gonna be a little tough to find a receiver. I live in a 17,000 person hick town. :) Ive actually been looking at the Onkyo 8211 Reciever (refurbished) that runs about 100 from J&R. Have you (or anyone else) had any...

    Complete Dorm Room Setup

    Hi, Im new here and new to Home Audio in general. I've created a decent sounding stereo in my car and I would like a stereo in my dorm room equal to that. Im looking for a stereo setup rather than a surround sound setup because of the cost difference. My DVD player is on my computer so if it...
