Another Noob question. Which are the best speaker cables and where should I look. Or are they all the same?

Looking through some other discussions, I see both arguments made with reasonable regularity. I ended up ordering the 70s, mostly because I would likely have been questioning whether I should have spent the extra $50 per tower for a system which may be easier to upgrade. What about crossover...

Will I guess just aesthetically it would block the bottom edge of the TV (where the "Sharp") label is and be right against the screen. At certain viewing angles, like lying on the couch, it may encroach a little into the screen itself. Maybe that actually would be the best for natural sound...

I am about to order a Polk CS2 Series II center speaker. It seems like a great speaker for the price. The only thing is that with my wall mountd 70 inch sharp, and the media stand my girlfriend is about to get me, the CS2 Series II, if set on the stand, will be so high that the top of the...

Hi! I am a complete newbie piecing together my first home theater. I was recommended the Polk Moniter II 60s for front side speakers (thanks SineDave!). The value looks great...

Oh and I am about to get the Onkyo TX-NR609 you recommended from accessories4less http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXNR609/Onkyo-TX-NR609-7.2-Channel-3-D-Ready-Network-A/V-Receiver/1.html

I got the Sharp Aquos 70 inch from Costco for 2 grand. Just set it up and it looks real good. No problems with the screen at all and had it mounted on my wall. http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11752346/sharp-sharp-aquos-70-class-1080p-120hz-edge-lit-led-lcd-hdtv-lc-70c6400u-reviews/reviews.htm I...

I guess I can use dedicated stands for my surrounds that would look cool like these: http://www.standsandmounts.com/bello30inchspeakerstandsblacksp-300.aspx But will end up with wiring to break up the space of my left side living room. Or I guess I can wire both from the right low wall Or I...

Thanks for the kinder version. Please feel free to be blunt and as harsh as you care to with me. I work in an inner-city ER and not much verbal abuse bothers me at all, especially when I am learning useful stuff from a true enthusiast Those options sound good but my open space is the problem...

Also will be looking at accessories4less as recommended. Specifically that price on the refurbished Onkyo NR609 seem impossible to beat

Thanks for all the great advice: Schan: I literally had to look up most of those terms. Very good for my education about home audio equipment! Jason: Thanks for the breakdown. I agree that given that I just sprung for a 70 inch TV, I should back it up with a decent sound system...will be...

Thanks schan, I see. I never quite understood the point of the AVR...but that makes sense. What qualities separate an ok AVR from a great one? Any equipment I incorporate will have HDMI in it. I can see a WD internet streaming device, a Blur-Ray and my TV DVR as well as possibly my PS3, if...

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I think I will hold off on the Sony and look at more well known systems. Will be interested in seeing more recommendations. Here are answers: 1. Yes I am definitely OK with full sized speakers. My living room is a good sized and very open in floorplan...

Hi, please excuse my complete ignorance, I am new to the home theater world and doing my best to learn! After more than a decade of hooking up computer speakers to my TV, I am planning to get my first home theater system to compliment my soon-to-be wall mounted 70 inch Sony TV. I want to get...
