Without question, there will be some big changes in the next year or so: 1)Digital outputs (firewire perhaps?) for both DVDA and SACD players will mean future recievers will have internal MLP/DSD decoders and firewire ins..... 2)HDMI and or DVI/HDCP inputs and/or switching Most...

I am looking to buy my first camcorder(my son is due to be born in April) and it seems the Digital 8 format is a very appealing one to me.. I need a unit with USB out so I can capture stills of my son and email them to friends and relatives....would a Digital 8 camcorder be good for...

Goals? I would say I am looking for Onyx Rocket/Paradigm Studio performance at Fluance prices :) That might not be possible, but one can always hope... Anyways, I am looking for something completely turnkey....I don't want to assemble anything and I am curious if this middle ground...

Can you buy turnkey DIY speakers and subs??? I mean, I know part of the appeal of DIY units are that you do is yourself, but the other part of the equation is saving money.... So, I was wondering if there is a middle ground anywhere.... Say, a group who sell DIY kits ready to rock & roll...

the 325 has dts neo 6 and has independent xover adjustments for each pair of speakers (mains,front and rear centers, surrounds), ala the Anthem AVM 20 One big question I have is does this round of H/K recievers (325,525,7200,1001)apply Logic 7 processing to 5.1 sources (Dolby Digital, dts) as...

I saw the pix of the ref 50 in the other thread. Are there any other pix of this beast? I have heard the ref 50 has dts 96/24 decoding and is THX Ultra 2 certified....is this true? What about xover adjustments....is it like the anthem AVM 20? Any links to ref 50 info and prices?

Here is a perfect example of why you should *NOT* trust what Harman Kardon's manuals say in regards to Logic 7 and 5.1 sources http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=99849 What was HK THINKING????

Keep in mind the HK 8000 online manual also says the unit can only do Logic 7 to stereo sources when in fact the 8000 *CAN* apply L7 to 5.1 sources (Dolby Digital, dts) Harman Kardon has a bad history of mis-information in their manuals _ESPECIALLY_ in reference to Logic 7 The only way to...

Does anyone have any more info about this unit?

If only some of the pix come out, try re-loading the page :) BTW, Trilobyte (aka Pyro Studios), the developers of this game, created the famous "Raven" dancing mech demo for Microsoft.... Duality is being published by Phantagram, the largest gaming company in Korea

I do not know much about these speakers and I was wondering if you guys/gals could: List the pros/cons Tell me how they compare to the PSB Image series (2B bookshelves) Tell me how they compare to Rocket speakers (750 floorstanders) Logically, I would prefer accounts of the PSB 1Bs or...

Yes, I also read in the newest S&V that the 225 *could* apply L7 to 5.1 sources, ala the AVR 8000 Keep in mind, the first versions of the AVR 8000's manual did not state this as possible either, even though it was the case (L7 processing on DD/DTS 5.1) The H/K manual is not what you would...

I am intrested in the AVR 225 and when I went to H/K's site and I couldn't tell if this reciever had this ability as well or not.. To clearify, I am not talking about the DPL2-is L7 mode (surround sound processing of stereo/mono sources) but "full blown" Logic 7 (7 channel processing of 5.1...

It seems to me that Denon and Onkyo recievers are very popular choices on the forum. Is there a website that has pie charts and stuff about the market share each manufacturer has of the reciever market. Going by its popularity, you would think the Denon brand is most popular brand out...
