The back support only supports the entertainment center stand. It is about 2' wide and attaches to all three shelves. Ii has two heavy duty bolts running through it into each shelf frame. The bolts are 18" apart. Based on what I have seen on other stands with brackets, I was hoping to bolt...

The TV Model is a Samsung LN40C630K1FXZA. Question: Can you attach heavy duty brackets to the back of the entertainment center and attach them to a wall bracket? The TV is 39 lbs. The entertainment center is much heavier, especially with the receiver and components on it.

I have no idea how I can upload photos here. The icons don't appear to be related to photos. Here are 4 pics: http://s191.photobucket.com/user/classactparty/library/Home%20Entertainment%20Center?sort=3&page=1

I have a 5' x 2' x 26" glass and steel entertainment center. It has a very heavy duty poly-resin back panel with the bolts 18" apart from center on each of the three shelves. I want to mount the TV to the back so it can be a little higher and have one or 2 small shelves under the TV for the...

They're the same mix. SACDs have the capability of sounding better than DTS-HD Master Audio. The question on this recording is whether you will honestly be able to tell the difference. I have the SACD and am astonished at the sound quality. That does you no good, however if you don't have...

Paul, It turns out this was a promo item that Monster, Inc. provided to Best Buy to be given away with the purchase of their high end in-ear headphones. How ironic. The UPC is 0 50644 79109 3. It does sound very nice though.

Robert, When movies are played back in a theater, they are mastered for a sound system that covers 200 people at minimum, and up to 600 on average. The volume levels do not translate well to a much smaller system in a 15' x 20' living room, or even a dedicated home theater close to that size. I...

RobertR, In some movies, the issue is not dynamic range. The issue is mastering the movie as one audio track instead of many little ones. In the theater, I had absolutely no problem hearing the dialogue to Thor. On my BD, I have to increase the center channel by 9 db.. I have a very balanced...

I recommend this: |http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290130 It's a Polk PSW-505 460W 12" NewEgg is currently out of stock on these, but they usually put them on sale for 199.00 plus free shipping. I have purchased all of my Polk home theater speakers from NewEgg, and have...

I picked up a DTS disc of Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain from a online auction. I did not realize this was a Monster Promo item. The original recording was 3 channel. This DVD has a 5.1 mic as well as a hi-rez stereo mix. The 5.1 was mixed based on the location of the musicians in the...

I recently did some mods on my HT setup. Recently started going through my 5.1 music collection. Today's selection is the SACD of The Moody Blues' Seventh Sojourn. It's quad. I think I like the DTS version better, but it's still a nice listen.

I'm sorry, but the issue with the master tapes appears to be a problem I doubt will be overcome.. I can't conceive of the idea of them "baking the tapes"> I doubt anyone will have the guts to try this. Perhaps that is a major reason why many albums have not been converted to 5.1. As far as the...

Mike, Beware. Not all Deluxe Editions include 5.1 or Hi-Rez layers.

The WYWH SACD is indeed a beautiful package. The 5.1 mix is fantastic. It's not obsessive with panning or discrete effects. It allows the music to fully wash all over. The bass is full and warm. To compare it to the DSOTM 5.1, I'd have to say the DSOTM is the gourmet meal, and WYWH is the...

What I really look for in a mix is how well balanced are the instruments overall? I feel a good mix allows you to hear lots of detail in the music, without any one detail overpowering the others. Some folks protest when the mix sounds different from the first way they heard it (usually on...

How many of you bump your center channel speaker level up after doing calibrated settings? I have lstened to numerous movies after setting my Pioneer VSX-1019 using MCACC according to the manual. The dialogue in most action movies is WAY too quiet. I'm considering about a 9db bump. My living...

This arrived a few hours ago. While I didn't watch the entire disc, I did watch most of it. First of all, noticeable differences in quality. For sound, I selected the HD DTS 5.1 track. Without actually doing an A-B comparison, I would have to say there is no noticeable difference in sound...

Thanks for your assistance. Unfortunately, I assumed that each discussion board would have a link WITHIN the Blu-ray discussion board. Now I know not to assume that.

I was looking at what Amazon is charging. The two trilogies are 39.99 each. Their price on the Complete Saga set is 89.99.

If you go to that section, you find one board for regular Blu-ray "reviews". It is not a discussion board. The other discussion board there is for 3-D Blu-ray.

Based on the fact that there is only a review section for Blu-rays, I decided this was the most logical place to find an answer to my question. My apology if that is not the case. The Star Wars Blu-ray box sets are coming out next week. My question is, what does the Complete Saga box set have...

HP may stop making PCs, but I doubt they will stop making printers. That is probably their most lucrative market. If that were to happen, it would be a sad day indeed. I once ordered a HP PC. After two days of hassling with their so called customer service over an issue which was clearly related...

I for one had the most recent RM of The Yes Album before I found the MoFi for 24.95. I was somewhat skeptical about the difference in sound quality until I heard it. I could immediately tell the difference. Maybe not "night and day", but certainly a significant improvement worthwhile to any...

I'd prefer to pay 30.00 each for the Blu-Ray Discs. 260.00 is really going to make the wife mad!

A few nights ago I settled down and watched our 45th Anniversary Edition BD of The Sound of Music. While the picture was fantastic overall, there was one scene that had a very peculiar defect. The scene in question occurred in the captain's home during the party. Two of the men were wearing...

That is very much like what mine would look like if I were to move into a larger house. Do you store your media in another room?

I found some 1/8" thick sticky-back rubber furniture grippers, so I can use those to make the riser tall enough. I don't care for the idea of putting the speaker on top of the TV. The riser was on sale and included free shipping. That will be my solution.

The TV is on a 60" x 24" x 21" steel and glass center with 7" high lower shelves. I sits in front of a large picture window with heavy curtains, so there is no wall directly behind the system. One other option is to use one of these: http://is.gd/mNL6eK I would have to attach some...

My home theater features a Samsung 40" 1080P LCD and Polk Monitors (70s-front, 30s on stands for rear, PSW505 subs, and a CS2 center. My entertainment center has only 7" high shelves, so my CS2 won't fit underneath. I've had the center behind the TV. My options at this point are: 1. Leave...
