    issues with the monster hts 1000 mkii

    Is Pioneer Elite in the same league as Denon or Yamaha?

    i do not doubt it. right now i believe my lack of good audio from music is more from the source than the reciever. i am using a generic laptop, with a 2.5mm to a rca converter cable plugged into the headphone slot. i am sure when i use my htpc with the toslink cable and the multi-channel...

    Is Pioneer Elite in the same league as Denon or Yamaha?

    interesting, i have a vsx-91 txh which doesn't have as many bells as whistles as the 92 model but have you tried setting it to ext stereo? i believe it can be found in the surround pre-sets somewhere. i really do not mess with stereo much but i think that mode uses the subs. i am inclined...

    Is Pioneer Elite in the same league as Denon or Yamaha?

    i have a vsx-91 txh and IMO the pioneer elite is on par with yama and denon. the mcacc is pretty nice too. it auto sets everything decent and all i usually need to adjust are the volumes of each speaker some. i will say though that each brand has their own strengths and weaknesses and you should...

    best way to hook up my pc and a Q?

    i plan on using a htpc late this year and this is what i have planned for connecting it up: video: DVI-HDMI converter plugged into reciever. audio: S-PDIF/toslink plugged into the reciever. that should work best right? i have an ATI 3870 with 1gb of ram on it which should do 1080p all...

    Home theatre on a budget

    i think so, blu ray players and their movies are still high. if you wait the prices will fall between 33-50% i predict. i think the projection over plasma may be a preference. from what i hear plasma is the best for picture quality but there are longevity issues with plasma whereas...

    Home theatre on a budget

    personal opinion, sound is much more important than your tv. as stated, your visual quality goes down as viewing distance increases. for the speakers, have you considered getting them used? depending on age, you can easily get a good speaker system for less than 1/2 of retail. alot of the...
