My ideal Atmos setup would be any speakers & subs processed by the Denon X5200! I love my current Denon 4308CI but it's begging to be upgraded! :)

My Harmony 700 is going on 3 years and it's been great. Lasts a long time between charges, has decent enough power to bounce off walls, and controls everything without any fuss. I don't like that I have to use the computer to make minor changes, but once it's setup, there's nothing really to...

A huge reason I don't use Amazon more is that they separate all the TV seasons out, and the interface (at least on the Roku) doesn't make watching as easy as on Netflix. Is the interface on xbox any better?

Seriously. I loaded up Ratatouille the other day, and it even gave a huge warning about the disc potentially taking MINUTES to load. Well, I think it took about 3 seconds on my PS3!

I'd have to go the other way... I'd take the Axiom's any day over the Klipsch. Even if I was offered either one for free--I *love* the sound of the Axioms.

I got the Wal-Mart Finding Nemo DVD + 'free game' for my wife, and she was playing the 'free game' and she couldn't figure out how to continue after a certain point... well turns out this 'free game' is only a demo - not a complete game. Very lame if you ask me. They should have put on it...

I got mine from Mike at www.surfremote.com -- he's honest, and offers a great price - also $99. I forgot what shipping was, but it arrived really fast, and it was the latest 'edition'. He's also a huge help in the www.remotecentral.com forums - always willing to offer help, and he knows a lot.

John, Here are the different versions: http://www.videoessentials.com/ve_d_order.htm

I was thoroughly disappointed with this disk. The navigation just makes it horrible.

Yes, they took my funds immediatly. :) But I used eBay funds, since eBay offers a money-back guarantee for a small fee. Haven't had to take advantage of that yet, but it's a nice option. I think it was around $1.50 or something extra.

Even though they have a below average rating (www.resellerratings.com) I went ahead and placed the order for the 4 disc set. Reading the ratings at resellerratings.com it seems they have good ratings for books. DVD's should be similar, hopefully.

James, I love my knukonceptz cables. Not only do they sound great, but they are beautiful (the twisted pair ones, blue and silver). They are kind of tricky to peel away, but just ask Bill (the guy who runs knukonceptz - very nice guy) and he'll give you pointers. He seems to be available most...

Rob, Keep in mind those Axiom's are quad-pole, and are known to sound killer in almost any configuration. I've moved mine around, and even propped one up on a box, against the wall, and it still sounded great. I have 3 QS8's for 6.1 surround.

I use and recommend KnuKonceptz Karma 10 and 12 AWG cable. It's twisted pair. Looks really nice, too.
