    Can I use a subwoofer with just two tower speakers?

    I have a Harmon Karden receiver right now and I have just two tower speakers (I think there are three or four speakers in each tower). I'm running the receiver in STEREO mode right now. Eventually I'm getting a newer receiver that has HDMI as mine just has component and I want a quality set of...

    Newbie looking for a receiver.

    I didn't know you could run a subwoof and just a pair of speakers, I thought in order to run a sub, you had to have the other five speakers.

    My seating is directly in front of the TV; so, angled viewing isn't an issue. Does anyone here use a LED LCD TV in the 50"+ for gaming on a 360 or PS3..what are your thoughts? While looking at the TVs in BB, the pictures look really good, nice and bright too. Much brighter then the plasmas. My...

    The LG looked really good in the store...now I say in the store, because I'm sure once I would get it home it would be quite different.

    Hi all, We use our rec-room as our gaming/movie room. The dimensions are 14ftx18ft with a 7ft ceiling(split-level house). We are not audiophiles by any means. I play my Xbox 360 a lot, we watch movies and TV down there. Right now I have a Panny 53" 480p/1080i rear projection TV and is soon to...

    LCD LED TV for gaming???

My basement is very low light and we game with my 360 and PS3, watch dvds and soon to be BR and we have ATT U-VERSE HD. I was up at BestBuy today on my lunch hour and the LED TVs look great. I thought I had made up...

    Need help with a 1080p blueray player

    I'm going to buy a Blueray player but my 53" RP Panny 480p/1080i TV isn't a 1080p TV and it only has component connections, no HDMI. There are several movies my wife wants to buy but I figure we should get the Blueray version, since we/re planning on upgrading our TV to a 1080p set in the...

    Plasma TV 1080p 50+" HELP.....

    I currently have a rear projector panny 1080i/480p 53" WS and I want to get a PLASMA for my basement. Glare isn't an issue at all. I would like at least 50", closer to 60". We use the TV mostly for XBOX 360...hence the plasma over the LCD, and the plasma is cheaper. I also have AT&T U-VERSE HD...

    Need advice for new HOME THEATRE in a box?

    If I went with one of these Onkyo receivers that are 7.2, can I still use them as 5.1 too? Again, I do A TON of gaming and the games are only 5.1. How does that work? I'm new to all of this; I was used to just stereo...not surround sound! The 7.2 means: 1 center channel, a channel per corner...

    Need advice for new HOME THEATRE in a box?

    I was thinking price-wise...something under $1000.00. I have noticed the HTiB systems seem to have very small subs. I like to listen to some of the old-school hiphop/BASS evry now and then too. I would have no problem tossing the towers and using them in the garage or something. How are you...

    Need advice for new HOME THEATRE in a box?

    I don't currently have a blueray player. I would either need to get a HTIAB that includes one, buy a seperate one, or get a PS3. I don't think I would call it a system, but this is what I've got so far: Panny 53" WS rear-projection 480i/1080p TV The non-functioning HK receiver and a pair of...

    Can't get Blu-Ray DVD picture to fit entire screen. Help!!!

    All this doesn't really make sense...The industry went to widescreen TVs and most people bought them for two reasons: A- HDTV capabilites and B- so they wouldn't have those damn black bars at the top and bottom, but we still have them, whats the point of a widescreen TV if the experience isn't...

    HELP with new TV decision...

    I have had several people tell me that DLPs are good too, less expensive also. I personally didn't care for the lower brightness levels (similar to my existing rear-projection set) that the DLPs have compared to plasma/lcd. What do you think about DLPs and whats your opinion on the Panasonic S1...

    How good are DLPs??

    I have been tossing around the idea of upgrading my Panny 53" 1080i widescreen but I can't make up my mind if I want a Plasma, LCD and/or DLP! Obviously, for me, the LCD probably wouldn't be a good choice since we do A LOT of XBOX 360/PS3 gaming; so, the plasma or DLPs would probably be better...

    HELP with new TV decision...

    I thought I had it figured out. I was going to buy either a Panny G10 or G15; I wanted somewhere between 50"-60". I currently have a Panny 53" rear-projection 1080i/480p and its a great TV...just not 1080P and not as "BRIGHT" as the newer technology. My step-son and I do A LOT of gaming via 360...
