    TV decision - Got it narrowed down here:

    Well, lemme start of by saying the battle is: Samsung LN55c650 vs Panny P54g25 So, here's what it will be used for: I like to watch about a movie every other day, will be blue ray, but now is DVD w/ upscaling player (which I may not use depending on the TV). Also, occasionally I go...

    Don't explode... but...

    I am that guy. Police found him though and he may be paying me back, we'll have to see... that means I must decide: do I buy a refurbished 55" now (I got hooked on the 50+ inch size while staring at that broken TV screen), wait and get a free 40" bravia (60Hz) from my buddy when he upgrades...

    Don't explode... but...

    @Scott. Hah. Won't use Bose center lol. I've tried both my tower speakers as mains and Bose 201s as mains and I actually liked the Bose up there. I was getting bass out of my rears and I liked having rumble all over, sub in frotn and towers in back. With the towers in front I felt some...

      Don't explode everyone... but... I found some BOSE (yeah, I said it) 201 series IIIs for 40 bucks for the pair in good condition. I know audio folks hate Bose because they're overpriced for what they are, but is this pretty low price alright? What I have right now is two optimus 200W...

    hookin' up my stuff

    Well, to follow up on the humongous post I previously had, I took Gene's and Sam's advice and watched craigslist like a hawk and bought a new receiver. I got a Denon AVR-590 for 60 bucks. (Probably could've gotten cheaper since when I showed up the guy couldn't find the remote and none of the...

    Never had anything to be called a home theater

    is the problem with getting powered monitors and just hooking them straight into the back of the tv that the woofer will be handling both voice and suspenseful bass tones at the same time? In fact, is this my problem with my current setup? (the receiver I have is essentially acting as nothing...

    Never had anything to be called a home theater

    Hey, I'm very poor but very slowly planning on developing a most basic home theater. I can drop no more than 150 dollars here in the near future, but a 100 bucks every month or two can probably be squeezed out of my food budget. Just recently decided that since movie watching comprises a good...
