Some of you must own some of these digital media players ?!?!

Hello, I am interested in purchasing a media box that allows me to do the following : play digital audio and video wirelessly over my home network, connect to my LCD tv (possibly wirelessly) or HDMi/composite, play media from USB, record HD tv shows from my digital HD box or through my Denon...

Hello, I am trying to pick out a wireless HD media player that suits my needs. In my research I have found many manufacturers who each have their own varied versions. To name some : HDX, Dune, Mediagate, Mvix, Tvix, Popcorn Hour, D-Link, Sling, Squeezebox and more. I find it is so hard to make...

Studio 60 series speakers - Can someone tell me how old these are and what they might be worth today ? How are they as compared to Paradigm 7s and 9s towers ? Richard

Hi Guys, Thanks for your responses. I agree speaker selection is subjective. However, can you please comment on the price for those PSBs. How old are they, how many generations back ? Is the price reasonable ? I will take my amp down to the guy's house and audition them. Appreciate it if I...

Can someone please comment ? Sorry, I just dont want to lose out on these PSBs if they are considered a good deal and are comparable to B&Ws or Paradigms 7s or 9s. Thanks for your time.

Hi Bob, Thanks for the detailed response. I would say my usage is 60/40 Music/movies. I am looking for a balance between cost and some decent quality. I definetely do not want to spend more than say $1000 on two fronts. Making purchases over the next 6 to 8 months, if I can manage a decent...
