    Substitute RS-35's for RS-10's (Klipsch)?

    I currently have RB-15 front speakers, RC -10 Center speaker and a RW-10D Sub. Can I use RS-35's for my surround speakers or must I stay with the RS-10's? I have been told in the past that I need to match my front, center and surround speakers fairly closely. Thanks.

    Yamaha RX-V2600 vs. Onkyo TXSR674

    I have narrowed down my options for a new receiver to the Yamaha RX-V2600 vs. Onkyo TXSR674. What do you guys think would be the wisest choice for me and why? I know the Onkyo is a bit less expensive but other than the price point comparison, what are the other points I should consider? Thanks...

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    I hooked up a small antenna (indoor) last night in my room and was able to get 2 stations (digital). One was CW (never heard of it) and the other was WABI (CBS). I am going to hook it up in the attic as soon as I can find a way to fish it through the wall to reach the TV. This could be a...

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    Thanks. I will do so. I will also talk to the Radio Shack guy and see what he has to say. I suspect he may have some ideas as to what antennas would be best for our area. I will let you know how it works. I am a bit leery of wiring it from the attic to the tv although I do have a ton of co-ax I...

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    I am comfortable without the Guide and On-Screen data. I live in Maine, so I do not think there will be that many channels. I am going after school to look at antennas (indoor). Do you have any ideas? Thanks again for all your patience.

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    Nice! And the DISH works as an antenna? Cool. Do I have a tuner in my new TV Set? I thought I did.

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    Thanks. I am also going to look at a HD Antenna after school (I am a teacher) to see what is available and try to access some free stations. I want to stay away from the HD DISH set-up because it will be difficult to install (for reasons not worth getting into here) and will be an ongoing...

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    You make some really great points. I will say this, I am not satisfied with the picture on my Sony KDL-S402000 when using my DISH receiver (Not HD). I am, however, very pleased with my new Phillips DVD player that somehow cleans up the signal on my old DVDs and creates a wonderful picture. I am...

    TX-SR 674 (What do you folks think?)

    Thanks. The only reason I chose the Onkyo model was that I found a refurbished option online. I will definitely consider the Denon although it is a bit out of my price range. Any other suggestions? Do I need an upscaler as I have a HDTV (Sony S-Series) Thanks.

    Possible -Run Satellite Signal Through DVD Player?

    To try to do what the new A/V Receivers do (in theory) which is to translate the analog signal to digital and then send it to the TV through the HDMI cable connecting the DVD Player to the TV (existing). The quality I am getting now from "upgrading" my signal is significant. I watch DVD's and...
