price drop to $1250

forgot to mention i can assist with a local move. i'm open to offers!

I've decided to sell my beloved Panasonic PT-53TW53 53" 16:9 HDTV. It's a CRT RPTV that arguably still gives the best picture possible. It's simply too big for my current townhouse. Asking $1250 OBO. Pick up in Durham, NC. It's less than a year old, still under warranty and in perfect...

one more bump, just for fun...

I could throw in a bit of cash and/or some computer parts to make the deal more worthwhile for someone...

Maybe a long shot, but here goes... I'm moving to a new place and will have a bit less space for my home theater. My Monitor 9's are unshielded and was hoping to trade them for a set of *shielded* Monitor 7's. You would of course gain the ability to play some lower frequencies as well as...

paradigm makes all of their own drivers, so its a paradigm through and through

it was an open box! you can't blame that on HK because you have no idea what the previous owner (or the store) has done to it.

I don't think that older Onkyo has ANY advantage over a Denon 1603. Power is about the same, but the Denon has all the new processing formats. The Onkyo MIGHT have more s-video inputs (don't know off the top of my head) but that really should be about it. definitely Denon if they're the same...

Robert - hmmm that's odd. maybe in need to check it again...actually i think the sub was off just a tiny bit like 1-2db or so, but not too much of a surprise there considering how much the sub reading jumps around with either set of tones.

considering how hot the power supply gets when it's auto "off", it may really be on all the time, but in effect mutingthe output....maybe even how its able to turn on so quickly

are you doing 6.1 by chance? i feel like if your in matrixed 6.1 and your running test tones from the dvd, when the effectively prologic deocding is applied to the rears (since that's all matrix 6.1 is), i feel like less sound is going to each speaker (like DPL back in the day). but then...

depends which dvd player you have, how good its deocder is, and what other features you may gain with a new receiver. if its JUST for the decoder and you're dvd player has good bass management already, then i don't think you'll gain much at all. now if you end up with more power, prologic2...

you won't be able to assign that one optical input on the denon to multiple video inputs however, so if you get a switcher, get one that switches video as well...i believe radioshack sells one of those as well (assuming you're currently using the receiver to handle video switching)
