boston acoustics customer service is indeed excellent. i emailed them two years ago to get their opinion on matching used cr series bookshelf speakers as surrounds with my vr series front and center speakers. it would have been all too easy for them to dissuade me and point me to new, more...

can i get an opinion from someone not named john? it is a wall-mounted plasma monitor--so no additional interference from it. the speaker is on the top of shelving unit that holds the audio components (right below the monitor). i'll see what it looks like beside it. if unacceptable on...

for reasons too convoluted to explain, i am in a bit of a dilemma with where to place my dvd player. the easiest option would be to place it below or above the center speaker (i.e either the speaker resting on it, or it resting on the speaker). they are the same width and colour so it is...

hello larry, i'm thinking of buying from tigerdirect, who seem to have the best total price, including shipping. can you expand on how to use two component set ups? i assume one is via adapters to the bnc port. can you also get a component to pc serial port adapter? i don't have an xbox...

as per cnet's reviews they are. apparently, better blacks and better performance straight out of the box. i already have a receiver and a 5.1 speaker set up, as well as a digital cable box, so saving the money i would pay for those things in the consumer model and spending it instead on...

just a basic mount. doesn't need to rotate, tilt or slide. there are mounts listed from $99 onwards on tiger direct etc. there's one that says it fits the previous generation of the panasonic commercial plasmas but i can't find one that specifically says it fits the TH-42PWD8UK. i don't want to...

hello all, i am considering purchasing either the ed or hd version of the 42 inch panasonic industrial plasma but am a little nervous about the inputs etc. i have a denon avr-3300 receiver and a digital cable box (which doesn't have an s-video or component outs). my understanding is that the...

any scope of being able to get a good 42 inch plasma

just called and placed my order--they say it no longer comes with a cable, so i bought the 12 foot cable--gives me more placement flexibility anyway.

thanks everyone, for your responses! this forum is a great resource--and you guys are really patient even though the same questions seem to come up a lot in different threads. it would appear that the crossover on the denon 3300 is set at 80hz. once the sub arrives--ordering it right...

hmmm it doesn't seem to currently come with a cable--at least the partsexpress page doesn't list it but shows the $11.70 cable in the related items link. re the sub and the fronts and bass management: my boston vr 940s have a listed frequency response of 51-20,000hz--but i know some people...

ok, you guys are talking me into it. now how about cables? should i just get the 12' dayton subwoofer cable ($11.70) and have them shipped together or is cheaper cable fine?

thanks for the responses--yes, when i typed 'tweeter' i meant woofer. re the dayton: i had no idea that decent subs could be had for so close to $100. the cheapest boston acoustics sub costs $350 and only goes as low as 38hz--this $122 dayton goes to 25hz. i know most people on this forum...

by affordable i mean

mark, thanks for the reply. i've actually already purchased the vr10 and the cr6s for the surrounds--and i never buy electronics on ebay from anyone who doesn't have more than 100 positive reviews. my current question is re subwoofers.

an update: i managed to locate a vr10 on ebay and also a set of cr6s. so i am now set up with 2 vr940s in the front, the vr10 in the center and the cr's as the surrounds. have not yet purchased a subwoofer but am already enjoying the benefits of 5 speakers. a question about subwoofers: i'm...

okay so i'm a moron and didn't realize my default display was set to only the last day's threads... i've started another thread (on "recommended receiver power") to continue this conversation and ask a new question. thanks all for already being a lot of help!

i can't seem to find the thread i'd started yesterday about possibly mixing and matching non-boston speakers with my boston vr940s to complete my speaker set-up. i hope i'm not in violation somehow but since i haven't heard from an admin about possible deletion of the thread i'm assuming some...

thanks for the reply wayne. as far as i can tell from the boston acoustics site the vr940s aren't in production anymore. however, they're not listed on their discontinued products page either so i don't know what that means. i suppose i could email their tech support... i guess i'll look...

hello all. i am a brand new member and this is my first post. i am almost completely a novice when it comes to home theater and i am glad to have found this forum. doubtless i'll have many questions over the years but here's one to start things off: how bad an idea is it (if indeed it is a...
