Funny you should mention the Monoprice speakers. I saw those, but they were out of stock. Estimated time until they get replenished was 5/20. But that may actually fit my timeline for buying. Thanks for the advice.

So no WD TV Live, that is nice and will save me $100!

The room is about 10" x 12". I mostly watch movies, but also would listen to music while perhaps playing computer games via alternate small speaker system. My budget is $2,500. Actually, I shouldn't really even spend that, but that is what I can round up now. I am hoping that I dont have...

I am turning a small room in my home into a office/theater/game room. I have a pc with blu-ray player/burner that I enjoy playing game with. I am wanting to hook the pc to everything and hopefully play mkv files and home video files from my computer to the tv. I am thinking of purchasing the...

I love the receiver. Like I said.... I was planning on spending less for a Pioneer. To be honest, perhaps I would have been just as pleased with it. I dont have hardly anything to compare it too.... But I am very very pleased with it. I have my setup in a medium sized room and the...

Well.... I got all my equipment and got it all hooked up. I am loving it! It is ironic that I went with onkyo for the receiver based on others recommendation (over pioneer) and the power output. But I am so happy to have the audessey features. Because I live in a home with my wife and...

Thanks. I think that guide will help bunches. I knew I needed to run that and have read that it is very good for setting things up. I just had to wait for my last rear speaker to come in. I screwed up the order. I will read through that more carefully and run through the audyssey setup...

Yes. Most of what I have read agrees with your recommendation to NOT bi-amp. Also, I got the monitor 60's instead of the 70's because I wanted to spend the extra to get a better sub (and also I read some posts about the bass of the 70s getting muddled with the bass from the sub). My next...

Wow... thanks for all the great input. I decided to go with a better receiver and got the Onkyo 608. I also went with some polk monitor 60's for fronts and monitor 50's for the rears. It was difficult making these decisions without being able to listen to them. I am not charged with the...

agreed... i will not pay that for the stands. Interesting that you mentioned the polk m40's as fronts as that was I was originally going to do. Just saw a post about Jamo being better for the same price range, but that is anecdotal. I like the price of the Dayton/SUB-120. $230 seems a bit...

I have a Samsung PN50C6500 50" Plasma TV and need to replace my old marantz receiver and pinnacle towers. Like many others that ask this type of question, I did much research online and a little in the stores. I know more should be done in store where you can listen, but distance/time and...
