    Beginners home theatre setup... tips needed

    It seems to me like there are two suitable choices for screen placement. One would be centered on the 20' wall, the other would be toward the left of the 7 ft wall. The biggest difference between the two locations would be the width of the potential seating area. If you are only going to have...

    How do you connect Denon AVR 3312 CI to a wi fi network?

    There are devices by companies such as Netgear, which connect to your wi-fi network, and then give you ethernet outputs. Some give you a single ethernet, others look more like a router, and have 4 ethernet jacks on the back, giving you the ability to also use it to connect other devices. The...

    Bluray upgrade advice, please.

    I currently have a Sony BDP-S570, which I have had for a little over a year. I use the player as my source for CD audio, and Pandora music streaming, as well as watching Bluray/DVD. I have also connected a portable hard drive to the front USB port, which gives me access to the music I have...

    Choices: Oppo DV-980H, or Denon DVD-1940CI

    I am planning to purchase an upconverting DVD player in the near future, as I begin to transition from SD home theater to HD home theater. I can get the Denon 1940 for a little less than the Oppo 980. I know the reviews of the audio quality of the Oppo have been very favorable. My new player...

    Eosone RFS 1000

    Glad to hear you like your RSF 1000's. I have a pair of their smaller siblings, the RSF 400's. I have had them for 8 years, and have really enjoyed them. I also have the matching center channel. I would have pulled the trigger on the 1000's back then if I could have afforded them.

    Receiver woes

    Ok...I took the plunge and bought a refurb Onkyo 303 receiver from a place on Ebay. I know it isn't going to be my long-term main receiver, but it will get me by. My question is this: What mode is equivalent to straight DTS or straight Dolby Digital when I am watching a movie? The modes I am...

    Receiver woes

    My 8 year old Yamaha 1103 receiver was hit by a surge today. Now it will power up, but after a few seconds there is a clicking noise from the speakers, and it shuts off. My question has two parts: 1) What might it cost to get it fixed? 2) If I don't get it fixed, how happy do you think I...

    Upgrading surround sound system from 5.1 to 7.1

    There is another route that might be considered: You could buy two new GOOD speakers to use as front channels, and migrate the two UB-20's currently being used as front channels to the surround channels. This would allow you to improve your overall sound quality, and also start moving you away...

    stacking components?

    It also is worth checking out where the vents are located on your receiver. If they are on the top, then I would not stack something on top of it with no additional spacing, but you might be able to stack the receiver on top of the dvd player, if the receiver does not have vents on the bottom...

    Need speakers for a small apartment.

    I recently picked up a pair of Harman Kardon HKB 4 speakers from their Ebay site. In the few days I have had them set up, I have been very pleased with their sound. For approximately $55 dollars, I think they are the bargain of the century. They also have a model HKB 6 with a larger mid/bass...

    Eosone and upgrade

    Jacinto, Thanks for the feedback. It is encouraging to hear that you are using 1000's in a high-end system. I am currently running my RSF 400's off my Yamaha R-V1103. There is also a Cambridge Soundworks sub on the system right now, which needs to be replaced, because it is not working...

    Eosone and upgrade

    I have a pair of Eosone RSF 400 speakers as my mains, and the Eosone center channel. My question is for anyone on here who has significant experience with Eosone speakers and Paradigm. At what point in the Paradigm lineup would I be getting a -significantly- better speaker than what I have now?
