FWIW, I think Burnout 2: point of impact is miscorrectly labelled. I do not see any option in the game to make it 16:9. It simply stretched on my HDTV.

Thanks Graham, Where's the best spot to get a good deal on the wire? Radio Shack? Will Home Depot have it? Thanks, John

Thanks Gary! Any idea what you paid for that 2 years ago? Also, what receiver do you have driving it?

A am also considering a and b. I ruled out the philips for two reasons: I thought the Philips was on the downside of the size vs. image quality curve and I like the other brands better. I'm anxious to hear some feedback on the Samsung. Anyone have any links to articles regarding the HCN-5527W?

Can you define 'Long' vs 'Short' ? Fronts will be no longer than 8' from the receiver (more like 6' but I'll probably cut them a bit longer than I need). However, backs will use about 35-40' after I hide all the wire. Will 14 gauge all around be OK? Also, what does 'CL-Rated' mean? Will I...

Now that I have my speakers, how do I hook them up? I need wiring recommendations for JBL N-series speaker set w/ Yamaha receiver. Monster cable is good, I know, but seems way overpriced. How much should it cost me to hook up fronts, center, surrounds and sub? Can I just get wire at...

Well, I finally plunged into the JBL market (with 2 feet). Got the ND310IIs up front with N24IIs for the surround and an S-CentreII along with the PB12 for good measure. All of these items were clearance and the 310s and PB 12 were display models. I got the entire set for $820+ tax After...

Greg, How much would that JBL configuration (including Subwoofer) run me and where's best place to look? Graham, I do believe the Best Buy had a good deal on those Polks you mentioned. However, I don't this they sell the matching centers and rears. Do you think that's an issue?

Thanks for the initial responses. Graham, I think you have more patience than I. ;) I really don't think I need floor standing, however, I have a personal bias that I think they would sound better in general than bookshelves. Maybe I will start re-looking at some bookshelf options. Do you...

Hi, Absolutely LOVE this forum. This is my first post. Here's my deal. I bought a house in the spring and am now considering turning the third bedroom (apx. 13x12) into a Home Theater. My usage would be for Watching movies/HDTV, not so much listening to music. The purchases I need to make are...
