Adil M......the point is, niether do most of the employees at these store. The point is, not always of coarse, but most of the time these employees would be just as "useful" at Mickey-D's. Go back to your regularly scheduled CNN retoric dot-dot-dot I'll be over at FOX.

I love it..........go mess with the "coustomers".....looks like you'll be working at some B&M for a long time....haha Would you like to Super-size that, sir? haha .... Repeat after me....Would you li.....never mind!

I have the SV20-39PC Plus in a room that's 16x24x8. I too went with my old Velo CT-10 up until about 2 weeks ago because of $$$$ and let me tell you something, it's incredible what a good sub sounds and feels like. It is simply amazing to feel the kick in the ribs or crack of a good...

When I researched my speaker purchase I was looking for something that was more vocal and not to forward/bright sounding. I came across many reviews that stated Swans were very vocal and very neutral sounding. So....after many e-mails with Jon at the Audio Insiders, I took the plunge and...

Man......these at $150, a $100 Dayton sub, $130 Pio 356 DVD and (take your pick) $200-$300 Onkyo from eCost and you have a really nice little HT on the REAL cheap......add $200 for cables and stands......$850 +/-.........very hard to beat and I bet it would sound pretty darn nice for the money...

I have it and a HDTV and I have to admit, while the picture and sound quality are good, I do have the wants for a much better unit (better DAC's and Faroudja/Silicon Image DCDi). With mine, I have noticed major time delays with layer changes (and some minor delays with scene changes as well) and...

If you are using a 5.1 setup then the DPL IIx isn't really an issue and the AVR-7200 is an awsome choice. That being said, even if you are planning on a 7.1 setup, the HK's Logic 7 is very nice. Logic 7 and DPL IIx are NOT the same but similar. You can do a search and check out the archives for...

ECOST has the following right now: Onkyo SR501------------------------$180 Klipsh GMX-D5.1 (includes sub)-----$190 Circuit City: Pioneer DVD-363--------------------$140 Total:-----------------------------$510 Plus, you are going to spend about $50 for some speaker wire and roughly...

Hobbies are not to save money. I have about 4K invested in my brewery and assorted fermenters, etc. I do it because I love beer and I love the process. Just like the guy who fishes from shore and then, before you know it, he buys a boat. Well, guess what? Price of fish just went WAY up per...

It sounds like you have the makings for a really nice system and I am sure you will love the new "TUBE". But, Dude....really.....you need a bigger TV! No offense but you have to admit....it looks rather......ummm......small compaired to the sub. You know you have a base fetish when your sub is...

Anyone know if it's available yet? I'll be the first one on the block to try it. I heard any day now but still not showing up anywhere yet.

Yea....I have my eye on the 1600, too. Trying to find one refurbed at a deal. Even the 2200 but those are hard to find as well on the cheap. Hadn't even considered the xp50 though. I have to admit though, I am not a huge Panny fan. Their stuff seems to be hit and miss. I have a Panny 32" HDTV...

Personally, I would do the speakers first. You'll have a blast with that upgrade for a while then, when you can afford it, get the reciever. That's what I did and it was like having a whole new system "again". Then, you'll want a bigger TV. Then, you'll want a better DVD player. Then, you'll...

I have the 5.2 fronts, C3 center and 2.1 rears and could not be happier. I would recommend something with a high current amp section though. I had these hooked up to a basic Pioneer 810 and it was crap. Switched to a HK 7200 and the whole system stood up and took notice. I bought the Swans based...

Don, I know you are BIG on the XP30 (as are a lot of people) but I really want a newer machine capable DVD-Audio at the very least. SACD...not so sure I need it. I am a believer that you spin music on a cd player and movies on a DVD player. I have not done it yet, but...I would like to start...

Well, it was out of stock so I am off the hook and still on the hunt. However, I may just wait a minute and get the new Yamaha S1500.....that looks like a great DVD player for the money.

So for now, it's virtual HD....

Hope you don't mind me piggy backing onto your thread, but what's the problem with mastering the disk at 1080i to begin with? Will we ever see that so it's a true HD picture?

Don, I understand completely but hopefully, with calibration and a little contrast/darkness tweaking it should still be a ton better than the POS 725. There is a chance that the 900 is out of stock which I didn't notice when I ordered it up. If so, what should I look for on the cheap for...

I just bought the DVD-900 refurbed for $110 (shipped). Right now I have a Sony DVP-725 (came with free chroma bug and very slooowwww layer changes but it makes up for it by being very picky and likes to skip)....I have never seen or used a DVD player with Faroudja DCDi so I am hoping it will be...

NOt to be scarcastic (spell?) but pertaining to question #1....turn on your favorite movie louder than you'll ever listen to it and while it's playing, why don't you just go ask your neighbor if he can hear/feel anything? That's what I did and guess what.....he's a complete audiophile...

We're not laughing at all.....seriously, I second Philip's suggestion and also check the polarity of the speakers as well. Let us know if this helps.

This is something I have been debating as well. While looking for used subs the other day on Audiogon and e-bay I made this observation....I noticed a lot of subs....no....not a lot....but 100's of subs available for sale on the used market. I don't think I saw more than 5 Hsu's and maybe a 2 or...

This may not be exactly the response you were looking for but, I have been soooo tempted to get a multi-channel amp to experiment with my HK AVR-7200. I am sure I will do it eventually but I am so darn happy with how everything sounds now and everytime I do bring it up, someone here says unless...

Mark....your HT is sooo pimp! It's a great use of space. Is that a Futon that doubles as a bed? All I have to say is...bwank-chcka-bwank-bwank.......sweet!

heheheeh..............you said "elastic snap"...ahhh...hehehehe...that was cool. I don't know what the hell you mean by that but I will say this...the7200 continues to amaze me. I was WAY to easy on this system when I got it but now, I've had a chance to "let it rip" and all I can say is...

With my HK 7200, I really like to listen around -17 to -20 with movies I haven't seen before. That way, there's enough volume to S.T.H.O.O.M. (scare the hell out of me) when I'm not expecting it. Can't wait till the new SVS sub replaces the little 10" sub I have now. I'll probably wet my pants :b

I second the Paradigms......also, for a little extra dough...the Swans 2.1's are really nice IMO.....I have them so I am partial. They are big as well.....27 pounds.

I too have the 7200 and I have absolutely zero buyers remorse with this unit. I have kicked around the idea of doing a separate 5 channel amp but it seems pretty rediculous given the size of my HT (11x16x10). I was pretty easy on everything for a while but I demo'd the Lion King at -15 dbs this...
