    Subwoofer with digital input and remote?

    I want a better listening system for my mp3’s on my computer. Looking around I found the Logitech Z-5500 and Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 systems that have a feature I need. Basically the system controllers take in a digital input and there is even a remote control on the Z-5500 system. Here’s the...

    Can the Pioneer 1014 be Beat for <$500

    No kidding. Onecall has them for $350 plus $35 shipping. I'm tempted to get one for a second system. I just can't justify it though :frowning:

    Can the Pioneer 1014 be Beat for <$500

    True. But I will say $1500 is like saying the 1014 costs $650. I didn't pay anything close to $1500. I think I got it for around $800 - $1000. I can't remember yesterday :) I just want to point out that the Pioneer gear really surprised me for it's price point.

    Can the Pioneer 1014 be Beat for <$500

    I'm a huge Marantz fan myself. I have an older separates setup, AV9000 paired with the MM9000. I use Paradigm Monitors for speakers. That being said, I'm not as big a fan of some Marantz products. My friend picked up an SR-4300 (I think, it was 4xxx and a while ago - maybe 4200) and we hooked...

    Lifelong Windows user contemplates (gasp!) a Macintosh! Advice please!

    I didn't read the entire thread but wanted to add something. In case it wasn't mentioned, buying from the Apple Certified section can save you hundreds of dollars on some models and it comes with the same warranty as the new ones. Goto the apple.com/store and click the red tag on the right side...

    The butchering of Grounded For Life

    I love this show even though its not as good as it used to be. I must be a minority in taste because I loved Ed and it's gone also.

    Where to buy Studio 1HD / Sanyo Z1 Lamp / Bulb

    My 1HD is around 2 years old and still working as great as day 1. My lamp hours have to be over 1000 hours and I'd bet are close to 2000. The meter reset on me when I had it unplugged in storage for a few months. Anyways, I suspect lamp replacement is within the next year and want to be...

    Free - raised floor and RPTV stand

    Free - raised floor and RPTV stand Last year I moved to Virginia and have not reused these items. They are stored in my attached garage. Rather than take them to the dump, I figured I'd see if there was someone local to here that would like them for free. It would be a shame to destroy them...

    I wonder what these sell for: http://www.paradigm.ca/Website/SiteP...or_Series.html

    Starting over :( help

    You are right Paul and the garage definitely has enough size where I could frame out and sheet rock a better theater room than I had. The only negatives are any costs I put into finishing the space are pretty much unrecoverable when I resell the home being that it is garage space and loosing...

    $1k projector round-up

    Check out the Boxlight Matinee 1HD also. It's a Sanyo PLV-Z1 clone with a better warrantee and pixel guarantee. It's my pick for the price range. The 2HD is out also.
