2 days ago, I was at the CC in National City off the 54 and the one in Pt.Loma. There is still a ton of stuff in the stores. TV's of all sizes are still in abundance. Speakers are mostly the hi-end stuff and cheap-o HTIB's. The middle-ground stuff is all gone. Lots of DVD players. Still looking...

We need way more information. How big is the room? What kind of speakers are acceptable (bookshelf/satellites/floorstanding). A good soundbar is around $40... a decent sub $350... receiver... $200... but there are literally thousands of options. It's like saying, "My buddy wants to replace...

Mike, I think you've got the consensus here, Dreamweaver is the way to go... so if you don't mind, I'm gonna hijack a little. I would also like a little webdesign software knowledge, but "I'm an idiot! I don't have the vocabulary." I can use the web fairly well, but have no idea how it works...

This answer might not be as technical as you think. The average consumer doesn't buy speakers for pure sound quality. The average consumer wouldn't know the difference between $1k Kef's and $15 Radio Shacks and probably doesn't care all that much. Bose would be out of business overnight if...

What he said.

Joe, you may not want to hear this, but you should ditch that Sony sub. There's a reason you can buy them for $140... it's because they're not very good. A good sub (and by "good", I mean anything else) will do better than that Sony. Sony does make a decent line of HT electronics, but they're HT...

Jay, Jim above makes very good points. I had this same question about two weeks ago, it's the first link below. It's a pretty hot topic. Check out these threads I found for you using the search function: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=234014...

Sorry, I don't have experience with any of the projectors in the article, but they're all 720p LCD or DLP... I would suggest however, that before you spend $2400 on the IN76, you check it out next to the Panny 900u, currently avail for $1800 w/$400 rebate. If you see them side-by-side and can...

Go get the latest copy of Sound and Vision Magazine, they just had a "Budget" projector shootout. The article should get you pointed in the right direction.

Thank God somebody else chimed in to help this guy out. I'm definitely in my infancy here also. Joe, you're absolutely right on all points, I didn't do as much homework as I should have before making my suggestions. I was trying to get away from having Jess make his own crossovers as part of...

I currently have the 900u on my "toy recycle list." I'll be purchasing one after my latest hobby is sold. Anyone looking to buy a slightly used Italian crotch rocket... Aprilia Falco for sale. I looked and looked for a 700u but could not find one I felt comfortable buying. I just checked ebay...

OK Jess, it's making more sense now. First off, 8x8x10 are not tower speakers... they're small bookshelf speakers. Assuming you used 1/2" MDF or plywood and the dimensions you gave me are exterior, that makes around .25cuft per box. If the front is 8"x8", how were you planning on putting 2 6.5"...

Oh well, a couple more days won't kill ya... or maybe it will. I just got the latest copy of Sound and Vision. They tested eight(I think) "budget" 720p projectors, the cheapest of which was the Panny 900u. They had great things to say about it and it was voted best buy. This seals my...

Jess, what drivers were you sold out of curiosity? What are the dimensions of the boxes you've made? Are you planning to use a subwoofer with this setup? Do you know about crossovers? What receiver are you using? What are the dimensions of the room you're going to be putting these speakers...
