    How to build a Theater

    They are both crazy. I hope I can afford to do that some day to my own house. I'm building one right now... but no where NEAR as elaborate as either of those. Real gold leaf paint????? Waste of money if you ask me.

    Basement floor...what to do?

    I just put some carpet in my basement and didn't need to put down a subfloor. I think the easiest thing to do would be fill in the grooves and then put it down. The installer just glued the tack strips around the outside as well as drove the tiny little nails down into the concrete. Worked great...

    I have $500 to spend on a receiver, guide me!

    I just recently got the onkyo TX-SR501 and love it. So for that price... I'd recommed the TX-SR601. I auditioned it also and really liked it, I just didn't want to spend the extra money on it.

    Infinity alpha series?

    I'm really leaning towards getting the infinity alpha 20's for fronts, the Alpha 37C for a center channel. And either the alpha 20's or the alpha 10's for surrounds. I'm lookin at the PS-10 sub. I'm goin to audition these speakers today again. I'm just wondering what you guys think about them...

    What color to paint the room.

    Well I'm currently redoing the room where I'll be putting my HT. It's nice to be able to start from scratch. I just can't decide on the color. I want something fairly dark and relaxing. Nothing bright. It's in the basement... and there are only 2 medium sized windows about 6 ft. off the floor...

    Speaker selection for my setup.

    I'm liking the price/quality of the JBL s26II's. I read somewhere that they take a little extra power than some other bookshelves to reach they're potential and sound good. I'm worried that my onkyo 501 might not have enough to make them sound good. Does anyone have these speakers and/or the...

    Is the Sony 595 worth 188 bucks?

    I was recently considering a sony receiver too. But after a lot of research and a lot of advice from this site. I decided that the Onkyo TX-SR501 is a lot better for the money. I got mine from Ecost.com $184.95 and I got it in 3 days.
