    Any thoughts on the Sony BDP s3700?

    Hey Tony. I just ordered this BDP last night to replace one that I killed. How are you liking it so far?

    Horn Sections, whatcha got?

    Am I the only one who feels like I'm watching old cartoons when I listen to Duke Ellington?

    My in-laws system

    The final two yellow wires are ethernet cables for hooking the system up to a router.

    New guy here pls help. 7.1 pre-wired theatre

    Surrounds on stands are also an option, if that's one you'd want to explore... probably not ideal for a family room, though.

    Did I get ripped off? Concerto 901 7.1 Surround Sound

    Like back in the 80s, after the fall of the Soviet Union, when you could go to Russia with a few of suitcases full of Levi's and make a killing selling them on the street.

    Did I get ripped off? Concerto 901 7.1 Surround Sound

    Reggie, I'm just as lost. The only way it makes any sense is if they're all stolen.... but I can't imagine they wouldn't be on the retail market somewhere if they are stolen shipments. But as is the case most of the time with these things, even the names are frauds... The Concerto as an...

    Did I get ripped off? Concerto 901 7.1 Surround Sound

    Chinese sweat shops? These aren't systems that got "diverted" from market destined shipments... stolen units would come at no cost to the white van ringleader, other than paying his goons to sell them. At least they don't seem to be, as they aren't available on the open market....

    Speaker Recommendations...

    I've spent a good bit of time this afternoon looking into the Elac B5/B6, C5, and F5/F6, and so far, I'm really impressed with what I've heard. FWIW, I'm running basically the same receiver as you, but the 5.2 version.... STRDH550.

    Did I get ripped off? Concerto 901 7.1 Surround Sound

    According to the internet, this product doesn't exist. Google Goggles had zero results. Yahoo search had one match.... a link to this thread. Same with Bing. Assuming you haven't returned it, how does it perform?

    Connection help needed - thought I was a pro - am not.

    So...... did you get it all hooked up?

    Subwoofer or no subwoofer?

    When presented with the question "subwoofer or no subwoofer", the answer is always subwoofer. It offers a completely different level of bass.

    Help with sound system.

    Hi Stan! The good news is that things haven't changed that much since you last dabbled... just kidding, they've changed a TON! But for your needs, the biggest changes to worry about are the cables and inputs/outputs. No more RCAs with the white/red audio and yellow video. HDMI takes care of...
