    I have an extra $300 I can spend, what should I get

    I believe it does. I'd have to look it up to be sure. As far as DVD playback I think the Xbox does a really nice job.

    Best Three: 1) From Russia With Love- I love the bond girl in that. So hot. Not to mention the rest of the film is perfect. 2) Thunderball-pretty much same as above 3) You only live Twice Worst Three: 1) Die Another Day- This film is horrible. Is it any coincidence that the...

    Speaker sizing for a small small room

    You didn't mention if this was an apartment or a house. If this is your house, and you can do some modification, why not get some in-wall speakers?

    Trying to hook up my laptop to my reciever

    But the laptop does not have any video out. I'm not sure what to do. It's a dell Inspiron 1150 with an Intel video card. I contacted Dell Support but I have not yet received an answer. Is there a USB to S-Video cable, or any type of device I can use?

    Which HTIB for me?

    Just food for thought. One of the guys in my apartment building has the Panasonic system linked. I'm not sure about changing CD's, but the sound is incredible for a HTiB. I already have my mind set on the S770, but if I didn't, that's the system I would buy.

    Should I replace the speaker wire that comes with my HTiB?

    Good to know. I won't have the system for another week or so, but if I do have to replace it, any particular gauage/wire reccomendations?

    Should I replace the speaker wire that comes with my HTiB?

    I have to get a HTiB, this is due to both size and budget restraints. I have researched this decision, and I have decided to go with the Onkyo HT s-770. I liked it when I heard it in person, I trust the Onkyo name, and I have seen it recommended here, as well as other places. I'm not sure what...

    Looking at New TV's. Samsung EDTV, is it worth it?

    I was looking at getting a new TV for my bedroom. I was trying for two things, a 27" flatscreen, and a $300 price tag. I had narrowed my choices down to either a Sony or a Toshiba. They were a little high, the Toshiba going for $350, and the Sony going for $400, but I figured I could just wait...

    Best $2000 RPTV

    I'm in the same boat as Tyson. I'm not sure what his viewing habbits are like, but I watch a lot of sports, movies, and play a lot of Xbox. I want my TV to be somewhere in the 51"-57" range, and to have DVI.

    Help understanding DVI

    I am looking at getting a RPTV, and of course I woud like to have DVI. However, all TV's that I have seen only have one DVI input on the back. Does that mean I have to choose just one DVI compatible device to hook up? I did see a Samsung add that suggested daisy chaining the devices together...

    Can someone reccomend a book on the basics?

    I looked on Amazon, and they have a bunch of books. I want to understand how to set my speakers up when I finally get them.

    Receiver Basics

    The most common replies to a thread of this nature seems to be "Look at HK, Denon, and Marantz". A lot of people reccomend the S5400.

    How much difference is there between the M50ti and the M60ti?

    I can definitely understand that. Luckily the Axiom's have a 30 day money back guarentee. I've gone to several Audio stores in the area and the one that had Paradigms didn't have the rears set up correctly. The fronts sounded really good though. If I don't like the sound I'll just ship them back.

    How much difference is there between the M50ti and the M60ti?

    I don't know anyone with Axiom speakers, and it is my impression that they are only available through direct purchase.

    How much difference is there between the M50ti and the M60ti?

    I was originally planning on going with a Paradigm setup, but after reading a lot of reviews and threads on this site I have decided to switch to Axiom. I had picked out the M50ti QS8 VP-150 and I thought I was all set. Tonight I got the Sound and Vision buyers guide and noticed that the...

    A bunch of basic questions all lumped together.

    Now I am considering an Axiom System as well. I read a lot of threads and it seems that people who went with Paradigm speakers plan to upgrade to Axiom. I'd rather just go right to the better of the two systems. I've only heard the paradigm, and I thought they sounded really good. So the...

    Which RPTV for under $1800?

    I'm looking at the Panasonic PT53WX53, it's $1500 from onecall.com. I'm just a n00bie so I don't know that my words are worth a lot though. Plus it's a little larger than what you wanted.

    Supposedly terrific movies that just didn't do it for you... and why.

    A lot of people have raved about A.I., but I thought that movie was just plain bad. For those of you who dislike all of Kubrick's work, are you including The Shining? This thread is an interesting read because of all the different opinions. I have seen a lot of movies listed that I...

    A bunch of basic questions all lumped together.

    That was a great response! I am located in Ohio, but I might go to Canada to pick up my speakers. It's a pretty short drive and I've contacted a store to get pricing. The store did $899 for the 7's, $479 for the center, and $499 for the mini's. They said that they adjust prices in store as...

    A bunch of basic questions all lumped together.

    I'm looking at piecing together a HT setup over the next couple of months, and I have some questions. They touch on a little of everything because I basically don't know anything, although I have read a bunch of threads on these forums so I am smarter than I was a week ago. I want to get a...
