    Vizio m series

    I've seen the TCL display and also have heard some good things about it, though I've heard some bad as well. Mostly in the build quality. I read several reviews talking about how the border frame will separate from the screen causing some issues, granted that may have been an older version. I...

    Vizio m series

    Hello, I'm currently looking at purchasing a new display. I'm looking at tvs around the $700 range and 55" or larger. With this budget, I'm thinking the vizio m series would probably be the best bang for the buck. I generally like Samsung products, but in looking for a display that is 4k, as...

    upgrade path?

    So, the question to as whether or not the tower surrounds need to be the exact same as the fronts, or can I go to a smaller speaker in the same line for the surrounds? Also, i'm starting to wonder, were the RF82's necessary? I just wonder if perhaps maybe the smaller Klipsch would have been...

    upgrade path?

    oops, forgot the pic. so, a couple of questions about tower surrounds. first is the issue of height. ive read that in general, you want your surround speakers to be above you, about 2 foot. using towers would not be able to do this, unless you placed them on some sort of base. second...

    upgrade path?

    well, room isnt a problem, but cost is. I came home with 2 RF82's and a RC52 center channel. I guess i got a good deal on them. Klipsch website lists them at $600 each and Frys has them listed at $599 each. The salesman thought one of the boxes might have been opened, but didnt really look...

    upgrade path?

    Ok. So what exactly does bi amp do? I was under the impression that it allowed power to be delivered to separate sections of the speaker, giving each of those individual speakers more power and thus allowing them to perform better and perform individually. I.E having separate power sources for...

    upgrade path?

    While I'm up here listening to speakers, I thought I'd ask. I'm going to listen to several speakers, but am thinking favorably of the rfII 82's and the rtia7's. Will the Yamaha rx-v871 have any problem properly powering either of those speakers? Granted, I plan on getting amps in the future...

    upgrade path?

    Thanks, looks like i'll be headed up to Frys this weekend to demo some speakers. If the TSX are a lateral move, then I would imagine the A7's would sound pretty good to me. When I demo'd the P363's, I listened to a pair of TSX440s and thought they sounded pretty good, better than the...

    upgrade path?

    Looking to make some upgrades. Currently have: Yamaha RX-v871 Outlaw audio LFM1+ Infinity P363 (mains) Infinity PC351 (center) Infinity P163 (surrounds) The Infinity speakers are a bit warm for me. They seem to not have good mid range to upper range. I like my speakers to be a bit more...

    that is to say, would an under $1000 projector also be inferior to a $700 LCD HDTV?

    looking for a new TV

    right now, i have a sony bravia 46" LCD, and was thinking of trying to get something a little bigger, maybe 51-55". This time, after doing some reading, im likely going to go plasma, due to not having to deal with motion blur, better contrast ratios etc... Samsung has one, 51" plasma, 1080p...

    what makes a speaker..a good speaker?

    Ty, as far as how loud I listen, really, not loud at all. I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, and while i've already talked to the guy above me and asked him to let me know if my sound bothers him (to which he said that he is laid back and cool with it etc..), I rarely get much above the...
