You should also consider how you are going to use the TV and your budget. Granted CRTs are a mature technology, but if you have a widescreen model and play a lot of 4:3 programming, you run the risk of burnin of the CRTs. Stretch modes, for me, still look like a distorted picture. There are...

BradVan Standard Definition performace will vary depending on the TV that you decide to purchase. A good friend of mine purchased a HD Hitachi last year that I thought looked absolutely horrible with SD. On the other hand a ED Panasonic plasma looked particulary good with SD.

See if it's not too late to extend your warranty. Sometimes they'll make exceptions and extend it and then go ahead and repair it.

By any chance, did the warranty just run out???

No progress on the clicking, but I did come across something else that might be useful. I moved the RMB-1095 off of the Panamax Max 5100 power conditioner and found an improvement in sound. It appears that the Panamax somehow reduces the dynamic range of the amp. Even though the Panamax is...

Yeah, that 991 does run warm. Does anybody know why?? jim

Richard, Interesting. Obviously, yours is confined to the specific 991 and is either thermal expansion related or has something to do with the relay during warmup and cooldown. Last night, I took the Panamax power conditioner out of the power supply chain and switched it off. I was pretty...

I think what I'll do is after running the 991, unplug it and put it in a different room. That should help identify the culpret.

What is odd is when I first got the 991, about a week ahead of the power conditioning, I had absolutely no clicking. This is when I first saw your post. It was only after I got the power conditioner that I noticed the clicking. When I moved one of the RMB 1095 to directly connect to the wall...

"Will this madness ever end!?" No, not really. Have you noticed, once you've bought 3 new components, its like the dam broke and you're ready to buy a lot more? Recently, I bought the Ref 50, a new amp for my rear center channel, and some speakers to better match my other speakers...

Richard: I think I've found the cause of the clicking. You have several of your amps going through a common power strip before going to the switched outlet of your power conditioner. Since all your amps are still in the "on" position, the capacitors have enough residual electricity that...

Jeff: I'd recommmend going with the RMB-1095(5@200). If you later decide to go 7 channel, just add a 1080(2@200) Jim

RichardHOS You got a PM. Jim

As someone who has bought several different speakers in the last 3 years, I highly recommend that you take the cheap way out and do it right the first time. If anyway possible, buy the same speaker for all 5(or 7) positions. If this is over budget, get the front stage first and add to it...

I'm a new Ref 50 owner of three weeks now and I can report that the "whine" is way over blown. You can hear a little something, but you have to put your head right up to the speaker. Not something you hear from 10 feet away. I suspect what some people are reporting are really ground loop...
