    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    I have some quality pieces, but my avr is lacking. After buying many avr's, I gave up once HDMI came on the scene. I did purchase a Onkyo refurb TX-NR414 a year or so ago,but it doesn't quite match or have enough power. Being on a budget and two kids to put through school, a new avr is last on...

    How much weight can the Sony BDP S350 support?

    I have my comcast HD box on my unit with no issues at all. the sony enclosures are pretty solid. I have not felt any sort of heat issues of either unit. now what I wouldnt do is stack the sony player on the tv box.

    SVS Speakers... I am not happy, can anyone help

    remember, those speakers you auditioned will sound totally different in your house. also, don't confuse crytal clear with bright. not saying the SVS speakers are brighter but sometimes less is more and the B&W just might be warmer which is a very good thing when it comes to 2-ch music.
