Arrrgggggggg, you just had to bring that up, didn't you! I have a Toshiba 43" analog that's three years old. I don't plan on going digital for 2 more years. I did A LOT of comparison before I bought the Toshiba though, and it has a great picture.
Well... After much reading, many telephone calls and a lot of driving, I'm done upgrading my system for now. As some of you may remember, my quest started when I had the opportunity to upgrade my Pioneer Elite VSX-26TX AV receiver to a 53TX at a VERY substantial discount a couple of months...
The difference I heard was improved bass definition from the RTi70's. Again, I think it's from having the 14 ga. wire AND the 16 ga. wire as opposed to previously having only the 16 ga. wire connected to them. I assumed that the sub would be the next logical step. And no matter what forum I...
Ok, Last night, I biwired my new Polk RTi70 speakers and there was a definite improvement. I am using Radio Shack 14 ga. megacable for the lower frequency and Monster 16 ga. cable for the higher frequencies. I don't want to get into a discussion of whether the improvement is because the high/low...

Does anyone know what the default is for the peak bass setting? I have a 53TX and I thought I set it when I got it a few months ago, evidently I didn't. Last night, I bought a set of Polk RTi70 speakers for fronts and a CSi30 center. These were to replace the relative components in my Polk...
After further review, one of the reasons Polk recommends connecting the sub in parallel with the L&R fronts when using small satellite speakers is that on many receivers, there is no LFE output when in the stereo mode, even with the speaker setting set on "Small". I never bothered to confirm...
My price was exactly the same for each, I chose the VSX53 because the RS232 and USB ports were not important to me, the remote is a learning remote albeit it doesn't have the LCD display, but that wasn't important to me either, as far as I could tell, other than those listed, the features are...
Hello everyone, I am a returning member of this forum, I have been visiting here since '99 or 2000. I was one of the unfortunate owners of a Pioneer VSX-26TX receiver with the dreaded "no sound" problem. It was repaired in August of 2000 (solder connections simply resoldered)and everything...
