Russound, I've never heard of it

Yeah, I thought this much. I have 2 separate subs on a Marantz 5007.

I have had a few orders with them, including a surge protector. Everything went smooth. The shipping was a bit slow, but arrived in good shape and worked as advertised. I would rate them well as an online vendor.

I'll tell you who stepped up their game. Marantz...I've been a long time yamaha owner (since early 90's), and decided to try a Marantz 5007. It's been amazing.

Maybe because it knows you have signed in on your computer using cookies. I'm not familiar with kindle, but it seems it doesn't have a temp memory system like cookies.Just my 2 cents.

I was conversing with a home theater installer and he was telling me that each powered sub in my towers count. So, he was saying "technically" I have a 7.4 system. Was just wondering some of the guru's take on this?

Though I've never run 4 channel, I can tell you the addition of center makes all the difference in movie soundtracks. Dialog alone would be worth the addition.

Then again with 1200 budget? Don't forget to budget wires/stands,surge protect.

I like the denon/onkyo and BIC much better

Did the OP miss this post? Just do what he says here and you win. You are making something simple, really difficult.

It would help to know your speaker type/setup.

I would start with two towers and a good center channel first, then a sub, then some good surrounds. You see where I'm going with this. Are the Bose brand new? One thing you did well was the receiver for sure.

How well covered is the patio? Covered or enclosed?

Hopefully he already has the tvs, that would eliminate a some cost.

Wow that's rough luck. What's the average repair cost for something like that? I've had 4 yamaha AVRs since the early 90's, and never had one go bad. Maybe lucky.

Best buy has price matched Fry's numerous times for me. Guess it depends on who you talk to at BB.

BB will price compare

Yeah, sounds like something is shorting in the amp output circuit to the sub. http://www.amazon.com/BIC-America-F12-475-Watt-Subwoofer/dp/B0015A8Y5M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359328456&sr=8-1&keywords=bic+f12+subwoofer

Is there some sort of plate or otherwise connecting them? The four posts are for bi-wiring a separate amplifier. You only need one set of speaker as long as the posts are linked. This will maintain the 8 ohm impedance. You can connect to either set of posts as long as the link is there.

You do know nominal impedance is 4 ohm on the Niles speakers where the B and W are 8 ohm. I have never personally heard Niles, but b and w always sound very rich. Both speakers get down to 63 hz, so would handle 80hz setting on eq equally. Which is very nice. Here is the compare...

That is a great deal, but........http://www.avsforum.com/t/1429194/the-new-harman-kardon-avr1700 Lots of issues with it.

If you want to stay all pioneer: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-VSX-1122-K-7-Channel-Receiver-Network/dp/B007O5ATGO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359324877&sr=8-2&keywords=Pioneer+receiver Or if you like Onkyo...

Optoma specialize in projectors, I own an epson, but I hear great reviews from optoma. Btw, Semper Fi

I would be interested to see how the surrounds are wired for duet mode? And if it can truly cover both channels.

For a projector? Says its an authorized dealer too http://www.ebay.com/itm/Optoma-HD20-Home-Theater-Projector-/321057580628?pt=US_Video_Projectors&hash=item4ac085e654 And is this going to be a 5 or 7 channel, by the looks of the room layout I would say 5 channel

Is 3D a must, if not you might make it all used, but would be tough on that budget.

Reason being, decibels were originally used in telephone circuits to record loss(negative) readings. It is kind of confusing, that's why many manufacturers use some sort or positive Unit to measure volume. Like 1 - 50 or simply a status bar.

The Yamaha rx-a3010 should do anything he needs for less than 1300. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-RX-A3010-9-2-Channel-410-Watt-Receiver-RXA3010-/281043182789?pt=Receivers_Tuners&hash=item416f7aa4c5

I almost forgot, more bandwidth (whole different) topic

Of all of them, I think 4k is pushing the most. Bigger screens, more resolution. The sound is pushing the edge. Everyone wants film quality resolution. They are talking huge "non projector" screens. I see that coming next. Sorry Sam, but its really the only thing I have seen new. Everything else...
