Hello All, My quest for finding good speakers to replace my current BOSE AM10 seup is coming up nill. Here's the situation. I would like to replace my current system with a good quality set of satellite speakers. Yes it's not has good as having the larger floor standing set-up, but my...

1. 10 bit color processing and panel 2. x.v. color support 3. HDMI 1.3 4. Potential clouding fix 5. 120hz scan rate to mitigate motion blur 6. Greater contrast ratio 7. The overall technology to sustain me for at least the next 8-10yrs!

Hey guys, Didn't mean to Bump my own thread, but I'm searching for some good advice! I'm in a tug-of war struggle whether to pull the trigger on the closeout Sony 52" XBR3s or stay on the fence a little longer (end of year/first of year) and get the XBR5. Talked to a local dealer, can...

I hear ya, The thing that's getting me is the price. I can save about $510 purchasing the 52XBR from an online authorized dealer to include a 3yr warranty that starts after the mfg warranty expires. The local retail store warranty is congruent with the mfg warranty. I'm looking at saving...

I just purchased (put down a deposit to hold) a 52" XBR3 from a local dealer in town. Got a pretty good deal since this model is closing out. My question is...Did I jump the gun too soon since the XBR4s &5s are soon to be released? I had planned to purchase a LCD towards the end of the year...

Is this the appropriate forum to this Bose speaker products? I justed wanted to know a little about subwoofer placement since I already had the Pseudo bass module from Bose. I did a search but couldn't find a similar question/answer in this forum. I'd prefer to purchase new speakers...

Wow! What a difference a good receiver (Pioneer 1014) and subwoofer (Dayton 10") makes in improving the sound coming from my, yes, Bose AM 10s. Didn't know what I've been missing out on all those years with my old pro-logic receiver and Bose speakers without a "true" sub (I have the old IIs)...

Looking for sub with a tight bass decent price and able to complement Bose AM-10 well. I have a Pioneer TX1014 Receiver and a pretty open room. (family room open to kitchen and breakfast nook. Which of the two plays music(5.1 audio)& cinema sountracks better?? The Infinity 8" ps8 is at...

Hey Lee, So, you feel as thoough the Dayton 10" sub musically is only decent, just a touch over mediocre? I'm ready to pull the trigger by ordering a Dayton sub. But what I seem to read from most reviews here is the sub is great with movie tracks and only decent or ok with music. I just...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to check out the Daytons. I didn't want to spend too much on the subs since I'm looking at replacing my Bose with the Mirage OMNIPOLAR NANOSAT or OMINSAT speakers.

I bought a set of Bose AM10s with the "bass" module ten years ago. (Before I knew about this forum) Now I'm looking to buy a good sub in the $150-$300 range to supplement my Bose system. Yes, I know the bass module only integrates the satellite cubs, there is no sub wire input for the receiver...

Good choice Justin!!

Thanks. It will be the Pioneer 1014 from onCall for me. Right...onscreen display.

Thanks for the info. But does the 1014 have TV display controls like the Elite model or is it something I would have to do without? I couldn't find any info on this.

I posted a few weeks back on trying to decide on a receiver. I was looking for something in the $300 range but after reading some of the responses and other posts I've decided to step it up and invest in a nicer and higher quality receiver. It was a tie between the Yamahas and Pioneers but I...

Edwin, So you would say using a speaker meter in conjunction with the manual MCACC will more than compensate for the additional price on a receiver with auto MCACC?

I do have the bass module with the AM-10 Acoustimass set. For all those who suggest I should replace the speaker system, my question to you is, what will I do with the prewiring done for the Bose system? I don't know if the installers set-up my speaker wires where it could be interchangeable...

Scott, To me, those Bose speakers sound pretty good. I must admit, I might not have the "ear" for high-end sound. The Bose speakers were prewired behind the walls when my house was being built. So, I think the wiring set-up is customed for the Bose. I'm in the process of replacing my...

Chu Gai, The room is approx 19 x 17. Speaker placement is traditional: 2 front on each side of display set, center spkr centered just below display, surrounds mounted on back wall just above ear level from sitting position, sub located near front just to the right of right front...

I'm trying to decide between the Pioneer VSX D914, D912 or the VSX D814 receiver but I need to know if paying the extra bucks for the automatic MCACC (D914) better than manual calibration system (D814)? I know it's a matter of taste but I don't know if I have the "ear" to set the tones from...

In my efforts to create a decent budget home theater, I've decided to examine my current stereo set-up. I know Bose speakers aren't necessarily the best choice for HT, but since I'm stuck with them what can I do to enhance its performance? Someone suggested I purchase a subwoofer. Once I get...

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Thanks for your suggestions. One other thing. Do I really need anything other than a 5.1ch receiver. I know the price have come down on the 6.1ch receivers, but since I only have the Bose AM-10 speakers wouldn't anything higher than 5.1 overkill? Will a 7.1 receiver work with only 5 speakers...

I want to replace my old surround sound receiver I've own since 1993 with a good 5.1-7.1 receiver. Problem is, I have a tight budget to work with. My current system is set up in my 19x17 family room. I'm not quite ready to set up my basement with THE home theater yet. But I do want to enjoy...
