Bill, I ended up getting the Kicker iK501.

Okay it arrived on Wednesday and I have been rocking out to it the past couple days and it sounds pretty good. It gets loud!!!! There is slight distortion at the top end of the volume dial but unless you are having a house party and using this as the music no one should ever be listening at that...

Wow you too huh? That thing is just sitting in my den doing nothing. Maybe crap was a strong word, but when something is 30 to 50 percent overpriced I tend to get stronger with my words. Additionally those Sound docks really seem to provide nothing below say 400Hz (just guessing), so getting...

Love the Studebaker comment! I understand the give her what she wants theories, but being I'm such a great husband I just cannot stand to spend our money on crap. :) Now with that said look at this...

I'm not giving up that easy!!!! As no one should! LOL. Was tooling around amazon and found Genevasound. http://www.amazon.com/GenevaSound-Docking-Station-iPhone-Black/dp/B00372563E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1292698362&sr=8-1 Seems like a fairly expensive company. Anyone have any knowledge on...

Yes that's the Bose that I'm referring to. Trust me I would much rather hook it up to the Onkyo and let the Deftech's and SVS do their thing. I guess she likes the semi portable aspect of it and above all she says she just wants it. She never questions anything I buy...

I know how much everyone loves Bose on this forum. (joking) However my wife wants an Ipod dock and I honestly haven't heard a better dock than the Bose series. I know, I hate to say it. Anyone found a better option? Of course I could buy a dock for my receivers but for some reason that's a...

Where did that come from???? 6 year old thread getting bumped a Bose supporter. Amazing really. Bose is on to this forum now, watch out! Lol.

You do realize Paramax is "white van scam" don't you. Google it, youtube it, or bing it. Then stay far far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No not a good idea. Fronts and center need to be timbre matched. Long story short they should all three be from the same company and same line of that company. Better option would be go with something from the Jamo line that is matched to the E680's. Not familar with the brand so I wouldn't know...

DefTech service is great. Did you call them and ask them to walk you through? Or maybe a wiring diagram?

Some food for thought....... I had a Sony 5200 ES in my main setup and had ask for some advice on improving my system and the forum thought that a large improvement could come from upgrading the receiver. I was beside myself being that I paid a grand for it just two years before. Anyway the...

What an excellent thread. Well done guys!

Dave, For a room that big the Martin Logan Dynamo is not going to cut it. I just got rid of mine and moved to the SVS PC12 Plus. Though the PC12 Plus is a little out of your range I would bet that the lower models will outperform the Dynamo as well. My room was around the same size as yours and...

Glad to help!

I assuming you contacted Onkyo? I got a hot deal on an 806 few months back and the latch for the front door, for lack of better terms, was busted. Called them and 8 bucks later a had it fixed up like a champ.

Tony, My bad that was MaxL's post about the ML Dynamo not yours. My apologies.

Tony, I see that you said you have a Martin Logan Dynamo. I just upgraded from the Dynamo to an SVS sub and best believe it is a huge upgrade. I was a little taken back by the fact that the internet direct companies are just that, but if you haven't tried HSU, SVS, etc you can't try and lead...

I didn't quite see the purpose of the 25Hz setting either. Seems if you have a big room and only one sub your only options would be 20 or 16Hz. On the graph thing, I have no chance in the world to do that as I don't quite grasp that one. You have a link that could walk this slow kid through...

Yeah my room is rather large 22 by 13 or so with 9 feet ceilings. One of long sides is almost completely open to the kitchen. I have the sub in the corner of that open wall if that makes any sense. Which would make it over 2500 cuft without even figuring the kitchen. I have been in to HT only...

Alright pros, I have made the plunge on the SVS PC12 Plus. It wasn't really all that much of a plunge being I got it used, in perfect condition, for only $450. It replaced my Martin Logan Dynamo. Now my setup, in case it matters, is as follows: Onkyo 876 Mitsubishi 73" DLP TV Wii PS3 Monster...

Hmmmm interesting. You must have a ton of time on your hands. What about these? http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023501&p_id=2178&seq=1&format=2

Well, once again I have to agree with Stephen on his thoughts. I would think any the receivers he mentioned would be fine. Crutchfield has the onkyo 806 for $680 right now. I'm sure it can even been found cheaper than that somewhere. The next part for me would have to be the TV. I just picked up...

Consider Energy or Definitive Technology ProMonitor/ ProCinema Series. Here's a link to the 600 series for a decent price.http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Definitive-Technology-Pro-600-Cinema-Speaker-System_W0QQitemZ270438347839QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ef761b43f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Better yet here's a new 876 with free shipping from Amazon for less than a grand. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001AMSPDG/ref=dp_olp_new_map?ie=UTF8&qid=1249761452&sr=8-1&condition=new just add to cart and see the price.

Another vote on the 876 here. I love mine.

Jeremy, I got the controllers. Thanks they were just as described and a great deal!

I would only have to half agree with that statement. My setup is 73" Mitsu DLP model # wd73732. Have a PS3 (only for gaming), Wii, Sony BDP-S350 (for DVD and Blu-ray), the 876 for the receiver and AT&T U-verse 1080i for cable. When I had the Sony 5200ES as my main receiver I had it upconverting...

Good point! I'm interested in this as well.

I just did roughly the same search a little over a month ago. I was able to listen to all the receivers listed, since I live in San Diego, and I had it quickly narrowed down to the 876 and the SC-07/SC-05. The problem was those two receivers were at different stores. For around the same price...
