Hello all, I was leaning towards sat speakers until this forum talked me out of it. I have an old Onkyo TX-SV515 Pro receiver. It is rated at 6Ohm for the main speakers, i believe 80 watts. I want to get some bookshelf speakers dedicated for music. The room they will live in is approx. 12' x...
I need to buy a new set of speakers for my living room (@ 12'x18') and i'm trying to find somethign that my wife won't freak over. She really doesn't want to be able to see the speakers. We both want good sound. I know that we will be sacrificing by going with satellites, but that is the best I...
I am looking for a 1080p 42-46" set and have been waiting for Sharp to release this model. Has anyone seen one and/or know who might be carrying them? I am hoping the are comparable to the XBR2 from sony, and significantly cheaper. Thanks

Hello again all. Thanks for all the help. I"m still confused about the CPU-Motherboard-RAM issue. What CPU do you all recommend? I am looking here: http://store.yahoo.com/directron/cpu---coolers.html to get an idea. What would you go with? I'm totally confused as to which jives with which, and...
Rob, Thanks for all the info. After reviewing the above websites i think the hardest part is DEFINITELY going to be choosing the different components, and making sure they all jive. I'm going to do some more reading adn think this one through! Thanks for all the help! Rent
Thanks for the input. Rob, how hard is it to put together a PC? I am fairly mechanically inclined, but have no idea of what I would need to order or how to put it all togehter. I have no idea how to load the OS either! If this stuff is all fairly simple and risk free, I may want to look into...
I am looking to buy a new desktop computer primarily used for music. I would like to use my 42" Mitsubishi HDTV as the monitor. I will also be hooking it up to my home stereo receiver. From what I gather I am most likely going to want Windows Mediacenter. I have been looking at Dell mainly due...
I figured it out. I foudn this on the iTunes forum page. worked just fine! thanks all. * quit iTunes * open Windows Control Panel - QuickTime entry * Sound Out option, set it to 'wavout:Windows preferred device' -or- 'wavout:name_of_soundcard' * reboot * try iTunes again
I am really just looking for a software program that will organize and play the music i already have stored on my PC. I travel a lot for work and really don't spend much time at home. I have XM for travel purposes. Is there a software program that will organize and play music? I like the way...
I have been using iTunes for about a week now and I am loving it. All of a sudden all tracks that I have on my computer (even those played directly from a CD) start to sound incredibly bad. Almost like there is a bad conneciton in my desktop speakers. All music sounds perfectly normal out of...
Thanks for all the help. I don't have an iPod...yet. I really want one, but I am also considering a new computer. I haven't decided on going with an iMac or a Dell. I figure I should put off the iPod decision until then. I dont' think the AAC should be too much of an issue right now, as I don't...
I am currently using Windows Media Player to rip, burn, play, and organize all music on my PC. I am not particularly happy with how this software organizes my music. Do you all have any recommendations on a more user friendly software? I knw this is a pretty general question, but I was...
Thanks Ian, it may be worth a buy just to try it out. I have my manual, and it looks like those jacks are for the HDTV Tuner or something. Hmm...anyone have any idea if this setup would work, or how I could find out before blowing $50?
Thanks Ken. what else might a computer have for audio output? I have always worked with a business laptop, but I'm seriously considering a personal computer mainly for audio/video purposes. I would like to be able to hook it up to my HDTV/RPTV and my home stereo system. I'm leaning the I-Mac...
Thanks for the info Jonny. I thought that using the soundcard on your computer was a bad idea...that it would give lousy sound quality. is this true? If not, i think i already have one of those plugs!
I am TOTALLY new to this concept, and have tried searching but don't even know what to search for! Basically I have a ton of MP3 files on my IBM T41 that I woudl like to play through my home stereo receiver. I don't think that my computer has antyhign set up for doing this, so i imagine i would...
