Good point. I don't want to go higher than $2000 which needs to include the price of a BD player. Thanks

Hello all, Before I begin, I wanted to assure you that I will do my due diligence in researching prior to purchasing, but with all the options out there, I need an initial shove in the right direction. I'm looking to replace my 56" 720p JVC with a new flat panel. It is NOT my HT room. We...

Never mind. Right price but it was the display. No thanks...

I'm seeing an in club price for this set at $982. Can that be right and if so...good deal? Rick

Hello all. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an SVS box sub (PB12-Plus) which will run me $1450 shipped. I don't just go around dropping that much money lightly so I wanted to double check with this community regarding that purchase and make sure there isn't something else out there...

I think my first purchase will be the front three speakers (still trying to figure that out) and a new sub. Once all is installed, I'll make a determination if a three channel amp is needed. If the Denon 2807 can't push them, I'll probably give the Emotiva a spin. Thanks for all your help...

John, Thanks. This "transformation" into an amp surrounded around the fact that I'm looking to upgrade the front three speakers and which more than likely will be 4 ohm speakers. The Denon 2807 might drive them fine, but having the knowledge of the amp will give me a solution in the event...

Basically the same cost once you figure shipping. So...which one is better or is just getting down to preference at this point with neither being a mistake? Rick

Thanks for this info. I'm not looking for more loud. going for better sound, not louder sound. Also, now you have me on another goose chase with the multiple circuit issue. So plugging into a monster power center won't help? Oh the joy of HT

Well thanks for giving me one more thing to think about :). I'm running 7.1 right now so I'm not sure about buying a 5 channel amp when that won't completely cover me. I guess I need to do some research on the difference between xpa and upa amps. Thanks again for the advice!

Yes, it does have the pre-outs. I'm leaning heavily to the Emotiva until I hear from someone that directs me somewhere else.

I currently have a Denon 2807 which does good work with my current speakers. I'm looking to upgrade speakers which might mean 4 ohm speakers. I'm not sure that the 2807 will drive these well. So I'm thinking about finding a three channel amp for the mains and center and letting the Denon...

About three years ago I was able to set up my first true HT room. I have loved the set up but did need to pinch some pennies getting there. I now have some spending money and am wondering if I need to upgrade my speaker system or at least the mains and center. For sure the sub is getting...

Hi all, Well...I started my home theater experience two years ago and bought the Sanyo PLV-Z4. Great buy and great picture. Now that I am playing blu-ray on my PS3 I'm starting to think 1080p. I was at a buddies house and saw a couple of movies on his 50" Samsung LCD 1080p monitor. Holy...

Perfect. Thanks! I just went up and got everything set up for my 7.1 set up. Thanks for your help!
