C'mon, somebody has to have an opinion or suggestion - good, bad, or otherwise??

Alright, it has been a few weeks and my search continues... Having looked at the Panasonic plasmas I am very impressed with the 700 models. Anyone an owner of one of these sets? Opinions please...

All, I am looking to purchase a flat panel television. Probably 40"-46" range, I am leaning towards LCD right now. Specifically, I like the Sharp AQUOS line, any thoughts, experiences, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Are there other manufacturers that I should be looking at, if...

Thank you Shannon W! Budget is not so much an issue as size and quality. I want a sub that will sound great but not take up a good chunk of my room. The PB-12 will undoubtedly sound better all around but it is quite large at 25" x 18" footprint. I have been focusing on SVS but are there...

Thanks for the reply! I realize that size does matter but I am wondering if the SB-12 is enough, I believe that the PB-12 will be louder, tighter, etc. but it is a trade off between size and output.... Any other opinions????

All, I am in the market for a new sub and have been looking at SVS as they come very highly recommended!! Basically my room is 12w x 14d x 8h and is open to the next room through a large doorway. I am looking for a smaller sub and was considering the SVS SB-12 Plus, however, I am concerned...

It appears that a thread never dies on this forum! I am happy to hear it. I have yet to pull the trigger on any speakers...I am keeping my options open and to tell the truth haven't had too much time to audition. I do not want to jump and get the first speakers that I like. I must say though...

Bump Bump.....any more opinions, expert or not?? Help me!!

Dan: I have never listened to the Arro however I have had the opportunity to hear the Hawk model and quite liked what I heard. Have you listened to either the Forest or the Hawk from Totem, if so did you find that they shared the same lack of bass. I do realize that the form factor of Totem...

Thank you for the input!! I was thinking that the Rainmaker center and mains would not provide enough bass due to their small size. I was considering the addition of an SVS sub to accompany them. I have read many many reviews raving about these.... Any thoughts about the floorstading...

Thanks Alan Any other opinions, thoughts, etc....

I would like to ask any who are familiar with these loudspeaker their personal impressions and opinions. I was able to listen to the totem brand recently and was very impressed with the sound coming out of such a small sized speaker (the Rainmaker model). I am looking for speakers to be used...

I have been looking for a head unit and really like the CDA-9835 but I am looking for some opinions on it before I buy. Anything bad about it that I should know, complaints from owners? Is the display worth the money over the lower model? Also I have read that because of the amp in it you...

It seems like speakers are the way to go according to your opinions. Should I look at changing all 4 or just the front 2?? I have read on this forum that the front speakers are the most important so could I just change out the front speakers and then get a new head unit? How much should I...

Thanks for the suggestions but should I just upgrade speakers or both the speakers and the head unit. What would make the most sense / difference in sound quality? Any suggestions as to brands for speakers and head units are appreciated!!

I have a 2005 Honda civic and want to upgrade the audio system a bit. I don't need or want something that can be heard from blocks away, just something cleaner sounding than the factory system. Will a HU be the best place to start or speakers? Can I add component front speakers eventhough I...

The Iron ring is a nice and all but it is the person wearing it that can be the problem. There are a lot of bonehead engineers out there (eg. IKEA furniture designers).:)

I don't mean to hijack this thread william! Just a quick question along the same lines. I have a Yamaha RXV-530 and was considering the Paradigm Studio 40's. My receiver is rated at 75w...would this not be enough power for the 40's?? Thanks for the help, Chris

Brian, Yes I have heard this from others as well but thanks for the heads-up anyways!! I will have to work on my negotiating skills I guess. Anyone here negotiate a really really good deal? One so good that you even amazed yourself?

What is your current speaker and what is the speaker that you are considering?

Thanks for all of the input everyone...I will try to put it to good use! Kevin, I am familiar with EHR, that is where I bought my receiver from about 2yrs ago..friendly and helpful staff. I think they just had their yearly speaker sale too...to bad I missed it. Shiu, it looks like you are...

Shui, I will have to look into the mirage, Polk and Energy models you suggested. Where did you listen to these brands/location of your store of choice? Thanks Chris

Thanks Andrew for your help...I will keep all of it in mind when I go auditioning! You assume correct that I will also look for a sub to complement the rest of the system. I have been inpressed with all of the good reviews SVS is getting but buying without having a listen is a big step!!

Congrats Mike! I am glad to hear that your new toy is exceeding your expectations!! From what I hear that happens a lot with SVS subs. Thanks for the opinion..it is nice to hear a good plain review that I can understand...being new I don't understand all of the HT "lingo" yet. The more I hear...

Kevin, I was actually looking at several paradigm models including the studio series as well as some klipsch models. I personally preferred the paradigm's sound. Are there any other brands that I should put on the audition list??

That sub really is huge!! Tough sell getting the girlfriend to agree to something like that in the livingroom! Good thing I like a challenge

Brian, You mentioned not finding a speaker capable of "blending" with your sub. I have heard of speakers matching (ie. center and L/R) but never a sub...this is probably because I am new but can you clarify what you mean by the blending of a sub into your system. Sorry if this is a dumb question!!

Thanks for the great response Mike!! I will definitely put SVS on the shortlist!! Who doesn't like to feel like you are being shaken and punched by the bass! The room I have now is small so I am considering a PB1...but the appeal of a PB2 is there, so much more power. I will after all...
