hey. i bought the hts-650 for $294 direct from onkyo refurbished and the onkyo dv-sp500 dvd player from crutchfield last week for $180 and it should all be here Wednesday :)

i cannot spend more than 600 on the total system. its not a matter of saving money but at this point i cannot spend 600 bucks alone on paradigm, etc. i know that you may be able to spend more, but that is just not an option for me sorry. i don't need deafening sound or top audio quality, just...

ok so the only thing remaining... should i get the Onkyo system w/ the DV-SP500 single DVD player or with the DV-CP500 5 disc changer? I've read some problems w/ the changer being noisy or not reading DVD's well but I haven't read anything about the single disc DVD player. Also, it looks like...

wow that is great news. just what i needed was "that is great do it" haha. i am pretty sure i am going to get them then but boy is that a big investment. i'll probably go to circuit city and look at the receiver one more time and don't worry i won't pull the shady thing at circuit city it was...

Hey I am without any theater/dvd and want to get one (I had a cheap 300 dollar Aiwa HTiB that broke). I have been looking around and haven't been able to find anything good. All of the HTiB's have weird speaker connections or the speakers are sealed so that I can't use my own longer wire or...

lol good luck. i have been looking for the same thing and am actually thinking about getting a refurbished/factory reconditioned component system since HTiB's are sooooo crappy. I am either going to go w/ Onkyo or wait for the new Pioneer's coming out. Unfortunately, all the new systems are...

well my two options are this... 1) buy the onkyo hts650 speakers and receiver and an onkyo dvd player direct from onkyo and factory refurbished (i'd buy the extended warranties and would be tempted to buy the hts650 from circuit city and switch it w/ my refurbished model hehe) $500-550 2)...

i am also hesitant to buy refurbished, to buy onkyo when no one locally sells them except circuit city, and to buy a product that's been out a while and will probably be discontinued soon BUT i can save $50 on my first purchase at Onkyo so basically i'd be buying an $850 system for $450 and it...

also, on the onkyousa site i priced the different models and here is what i came up with... you can get the 500C receiver/dvd player (from the lsv500c system) and the speaker set from the hts650 system for 499 total you can get the hts650 (speakers and receiver) and a 5disc dvd player...

ooh btw, i found this press release from pioneer. they released several models last january, the 330dv being one of them. they also have 2 others and a 630dv w/ wireless speakers! haha well here is the link - i wonder when these will be out or if they decided to only market the 330 or what...

hmm i looked at the 520v and the 725v (which is $799 omg and 6.1 which i don't need) and u can see a huge difference in quality. the 725 has the 5in1 connectors and a sub pre-out and the 520v doesn't even have a sub preout! I purchased an aiwa powered sub and it is completely useless w/ the...

hey david miller i looked at the pioneer you showed - it looks nice but its not out yet? hmm i wonder if chain stores will carry it. it sucks that you have to spend tons of dough for the receiver to allow you to use different speaker wires or have speakers that don't require the stock wires and...

Hey I looked at the Sony models w/ the separate receiver and dvd and a lot of reviews on cnet (hmm a good place for advice?) said that setup and controls of the sony were crap and the tiny satellites weren't very good. circuit city has the onkyo hts650 which are speakers and receiver and it...

anyone? bueller?

where can i find out about products that will be released later this year? i just don't want to invest all this and then a 500 dollar system comes out that is spectacular in september or something u know? here are the picture thumbnails (click them for the links) for you picture types...
