The BA 7200 is a rebadge of the Sherwood A965. I ordered both the BA AVP7 and A7200 from Audio Advisor. AA had free shipping.

I just got a customized 7.0 Hyperion setup from Radiient. I added a pair of the Europa bookshelves and substituted a 2nd pair in place of the Hyperion surrounds for an additional $100. They were at my door in WA state in only 2 days via FedEx for free too. They are beautiful speakers and I'm...

A low cost option would be to modify an XBox. I put a 200gb drive in mine and installed XBox Media Center among other things. Lots of info on the web on how to do this. I was surprised how easy it was.

I picked up a lightly used Lexicon CX-7 in that price range. I have been extremely impressed with it. I have it mated to a n Outlaw 990 pre/pro. It was recently voted Best Amplifier Over $3,000. Here's a review from Home Theater Magazine: http://www.hometheatermag.com/powera...rs/404lexicon/

I have owned both and they perform very well. If the HK makes it's way to eBay, make sure you spell Harman Kardon correctly. I got $237.50 for my HK PA2000 back in July on eBay but I think I got rather lucky. If I were in your shoes, I would keep the Adcom but I don't know your needs...

Auditioning speakers is very tough. Ones that sound great at a shop will probably not sound the same in your house. The sound is directly related to how the speakers interact with the listening environment. Try to find a shop that will let you audition them at home or has a good return policy...

I also have some MDR-V6 headphones. I use them daily at work and they block more external sound than my coworkers noise cancelling headphones. You can have music really cranked up and nobody will hear you either. Highly recommended. I believe the MDR-7506 are exactly like the original V6...

I can second Elite Home Theater Seating. I shopped around for months before pulling the trigger on them. Nothing comes close to them in regards to quality, value and customer service. I have a 2 seat wedge configuration of the seats shown below in 100% black leather with motorized recline for...

foam mouse pads do a good job too. I use one under my center channel speaker.

I was going to add marble/granite slabs under my speakers for another reason. I have some Audio Pro Black Diamond speakers that are ported on the bottom. Even with the spikes the port comes close to the carpet. I changed my mind after I saw what this would cost me.

You can use the Z-680 as a pre-amp and plug the digital output on your DVD player directly into it. It has both an optical and coax digital inputs as well as a 6-channel direct input on the back of the control component. The digital inputs are separate so you could theoretically have a cable...

I have the Logitech Z680 hooked up to my PC. I was able to find it for $200 so shop around. I've watched a few movies on my computer to try it out and it decodes DTS and DD with no problems. I find that the bass is a little boomy but it's pretty loud.

Don't waste your money on an FM transmitter. If you are willing to spend a little bit of money and have a cd changer in your car, there are kits available that allow you to interface the iPod in place of the cd changer and allow you to control your iPod with your factory stereo. They don't have...

Most of my older HT migrated to my 5.1 system in my bedroom - nothing like having separates in your bedroom HT system. I have an Eathquake Supernova MKIV 10" sub in a small walk-in closet which is located in the front corner of the room. The closet is about 4.5 x 5' and does contain some...

That is a ridiculous s/h charge for that. I would try cutting some racquetballs in half as an experiment first.

I love my 950 too. I actually moved the 950 from my media room to my bedroom with my old Rotel amp and sold the Kenwood 7080 receiver I was using in there.:D

I got my 990 dialed in about a week ago and have been able to log a few movies on it. When I installed the 990 I also upgraded my amp from a Rotel to a Lexicon CX7 and added a Panamax M5500 ACRegenerator so it's hard for me to be entirely objective when comparing it to my old 950. The 990 is...

Just received my 990 this weekend! This thing is a monster and will barely fit on my rack, way bigger than my Outlaw 950. It will take me a couple weeks to get my system reconfigured and dialed-in before I can review it. I'm still waiting for my balanced XLR cables to arrive which is holding up...

Check out the Tripplite ISOBARs. You can get them on-line for around $45-50. The build quality on these are amazing and the outlets are isolated from one another. In my system I use an ISOBAR 6 Ultra and ISOBAR 8 Ultra plugged into PS Audio AC recepticles.

Do you mean the HD-941? I'm pretty sure it's just the HD-931 with SACD and DVD-A capabilities and a facelift. I have the HD-931 and have been quite happy with it except for the remote control. Hopefully the HD-941 has a better one.

I buy refurbished stuff all the time and have never had any problems. They carry full manufacturer's warranty and have gone through quality control twice. Go for it.

ecost always has some. I recently purchased a refurb Kenwood receiver from them.

I have the THX Ultimate from the eBay guy in Germany. It's a really cool disk and all of them are recorded in both DTS and DD (even the Dolby trailers). My favorite demo on the disk is the DTS Experience. The recording is really hot so watch your sub volume if you get it. Highly recommeded...

It appears that it is working normally. The auto turn-on on my subs work the same way. Basically, they won't turn on until LFE frequencies are fed to them. In your case, only when they are 80Hz or lower. The only thing I find annoying about the auto turn-on feature is that on some movies with...

I would add Prince of Darkness to the list, especially for the last scene.

Outlaw 950 pre/pro Rotel RB-985 5-channel HK PA2000 2-channel rears

I watched it last night and it was definitely not as hot as the original release.

I second Harbor Freight.

Not true, I used to compete IASCA SQ years ago and take my car audio pretty seriously. I just visit forums dedicated to car audio when I have to rather than use this one. I agree that the posts in this particular forum lead you to believe home theater enthusiasts aren't into car audio.

I have a Rotel RB985 MK1 and am extremely happy with it. Am I correct in assuming that you already own one yourself? I would consider purchasing an Outlaw 950 pre/pro (which is what I have) instead of a receiver. If you do a search on the Outlaw 950, you will find tons of favorable reviews...
