    Upgrade Fever!

    Actually the problem I face is ambient light. During the day it's very hard to see a decent picture even with the blinds drawn. I am aware that the CRT-RPTV's have the best overall picture quality, but have read elsewhere (i.e.Sound & Vision) that some newer version's of microtechnologies have...

    Upgrade Fever!

    I currently own a Sony KP-57WS520 (great RP TV!) However, with the advent of all of this new technology I am currently in the market for an upgrade. My price range is $3000-$5000. Please feel free to give any advice on what I should be looking for. By the way, picture quality is my top priority...

    Amp Ventilation

    I am currently planning my dedicated HT in my basement. I would like to build my component rack into my entertainment center. Does anyone know of a good source to purchase a nice supplemental cooling fan (needs to cool 3 amps)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Velodyne Dilemma

    Or would it be better to add 2 CHT-12's ($800)?

    Velodyne Dilemma

    Could someone please help me make a more informed decision regarding a subwoofer purchase? I am looking at a Velodyne CHT-12 ($400), SPL series II 1000 ($1000), and a SPL series II 1200 ($1120). My room size is approximately 14x30. Is the SPL series really worth $600-$720 more than the CHT? Any...
