    Need Receiver for my Klipsch speakers

    I have a set of klipsch speakers for my home theatre and I am using the Denon 2807. I have been happy with it. Its a little more than what you were thinking of spending but you should be able to pick one up for a little less than 800 new.

We still have a lot of touch up paint, caulking, etc to do, but since we are doing most of it, it will take some time. I have included some pictures this time.

    Blu-ray and HD-DVD on Ebay-Copies?

    Hi, I just purchased a Playstation 3 and was looking at the Blu-ray and HD-DVD disc on Ebay (I have the xbox 360 with HD DVD drive also). I noticed that the prices were pretty low, many between 12 and 17 after shipping. Do I have to worry about these being copies and the quality not being good...

    Playstation 3 motorstorm 80g

    Thats exactly how I was looking at it. I already have the xbox with the HD DVD add on and I figure, if one format loses out this way, well, I still have a game console. Although, after doing some reading, I think I will look at the 60 GB version since it is backwards compatible with all the...

    Hi, I was thinking of buying the playstation 3 motorstorm. You get the game + 5 movies by mail for 499.00. I noticed at Best Buy today that the majority of Blu Ray players were 499.00. Does something make them better than the playstation? You seem to get so much more for the same price when...

    I am not familiar with that receiver personally but took a few minutes and looked at CNETs review of it and it seems pretty impressive for 500.00.

    If I am going to have a 110 inch screen, is the proper distance from the projector to the screen going to be 10.89 feet to 21.98 feet? I was looking at the JVC DLA-RS1 manual online and that is the range they gave for wide to telephoto ( I am assuming that is what the W and T mean). If...
