    fair price for Marantz SR8200 receiver

    A buddy of mine is interested in buying my Marantz SR8200 receiver. Does anybody know what a fair price would be? I don't want to gouge him, but at the same time I don't want to get taken advantage of either.

    Paradigm Reference vs Snell

    I have not listened to the Snells yet. I'm waiting for a place to get them in. I had some Paradigms before and liked them and I've listened to the Studios and liked those as well.

    Paradigm Reference vs Snell

    Hey everybody I made a couple other posts recently regarding my home theater upgrade progess. Anyway, how do you think Paradigm Reference Studio 100's compare to the Snell D7's? I'm getting an Arcam AVP700 preamp and an Arcam P1000 amp along with either a Snell or Velodyne subwoofer. I just...

    Amp question plus HT opinions

    Ok. I did a little more research and also enlisted a friend of mine to help me come up with some ideas for upgrading my home theater. I'm still pretty set on the Paradigm Reference speakers--fronts, center and surrounds. I'm not quite sure about a subwoofer though. Anyway, here are a couple...

    Amp question plus HT opinions

    Thanks. Yeah I guess I really didn't know where to put it because I had 2 different questions in my post.

    Amp question plus HT opinions

    First my amp question. When somebody says they have a 300 watt amp does that mean the same as when the specs say 150 watts X 2? I'm thinking of getting a Rotel RMB 1075 amp and the specs say that it has 120 watts X 5 into 8 ohms. Does that mean that particular amp has 120 watts or 600 watts (12...

    upgrading home theater suggestions

    Does anybody have any opinions on the Paradigm Signature Series? I know it is more expensive than regular Paradigms and the Paradigm Reference Series as well, but is it worth it? I do like my Paradigms very much and wouldn't mind at all just upgrading to either the Reference or Signature if it...

    upgrading home theater suggestions

    It's not that I don't like it. I'm just looking for a bit more quality. Clearer voices through the center, more engrossing surrounds, better base etc.

    upgrading home theater suggestions

    Hey everybody. I was hoping to get some suggestions. I will be moving into a new house in March and I was planning on upgrading my home theater setup before then. I'm basically just talking about speaker setup here. Right now I have a Paradigm 5.1 system. Monitor 90P's for fronts, CC-370 for...

    will seven samurai be re-released.

    Hey, I did a search, but didn't find anything. If I just missed something and this has been discussed before then I'm sorry. Anyway, I've heard rumors that Criterion is going to re-release Seven Samurai with a better transfer and better subtitles. I went to Criterion's website and asked that...

    dts problem

    I got it!!! I had the dvd set to D-5 and it should have been D-1. It seems so simple now. Thanks to everyone that responded. I think Paul originally had the right answer for me, but I guess I didn't understand it fully at that time. In any event I finally got it working, so thanks again...

    dts problem

    I'm sorry dude--I mis-spoke before. I have an optic cable running from the dvd player to the receiver. The optic cable is running from the digital out on the player and I have 3 choices for digital in on the receiver. I have the optic cable in #1. I tried putting it in 2 and 3, but it made no...

    dts problem

    I have a single digital coax cable running from the dvd player to the receiver. Then I have a green (mid price range audio cable--might be called a sidewinder or viper or something like that) running from where it says Line Out R and L on the dvd player to the receiver. Sorry I don't really know...

    dts problem

    No, I don't have the red and white cables. My receiver and rest of my entertainment center is kinda hard to get at, so maybe it's possible the cables have come unhooked and I just never noticed. I can look at that.

    dts problem

    Ok guys. Sorry about the length, but here's an update on my problem. Thanks again for all your responses so far. I appreciate you trying to help me. I just got done testing Saving Private Ryan on my parents system and DTS worked just fine. I also tested American Beauty which for whatever reason...

    Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been responding to my own post, but I've been outta town. I'll look at your responses tomorrow and see if any of them work. Thanks again.

    dts problem

    I made sure those settings were correct and still none of my disks work with dts. This is really ticking me off because I know for a fact that I used to get dts before. I don't understand what's different. Does anybody know how to make my receiver "auto detect"? I don't remember ever seeing that...

    dts problem

    Bill, thanks for the response, but those issues have already been cleared up. The Best Buy dude (like he would actually know) suggested I do #2. Even though I was 99% sure dts was enabled on my player I messed around with my settings anyway, which didn't help at all for Saving Private Ryan. It...

    dts problem

    Hey everyone. I'm new here and I'm sure DTS questions have been asked to death, but please bear with me. I tried to do a search, but wasn't successful. Anyway, I recently bought the 60th anniversay edition of Saving Private Ryan specifically for the the DTS sound. However, when I put in the disk...
