Thanks for all the input. With HDMI standards still in works, should it not be better to go separates at least to keep your investment in amps not go obsolete so soon. What are the other options if I go used - other amps/pre-amps. If Rotel is not warm in that price range, what else should I...

Hi, Need advice on choosing the right electronics (open to receivers or separates) to drive a system comprising B&W805s mains, 803s center and SCM as surrounds with Velodyne DD-10 as subwoofer. 1. Usage is HT 75% and Music 25%. 2. Room size is small - 20 ft x 25 ft. 3. Very aware that...

you can get pirate of the c at BB 2 for $20 sale. I saw quite a few there. And 2 for $20 is not bad as you have decent titles to pick from.

I have a 1.5 years old Toshiba SD-4700 DVD player for sale. It is in excellent condition, works perfectly and also does DVD-Audio. Since it sits inside an enclosed entertainment center, the unit looks almost new. Selling because I have another DVD player and do not need it anymore. Price...

thanks guys, i think there was some problem with the unit itself. i got a new one and this works fine. unfortunately, i do not see any improvement in the sound quality of CDs played vis-a-vis my old Toshiba 4700. may be, i should try a denon 1600 or something for that as my primary motive...

Just got an open box RP-91. I have it connected through co-ax to my Yammy RXV-1200. The CDs play perfectly but with DVDs, there is sound skipping. The video is perfect but the sound keeps skippping once in a while. Any idea if there is some setting problem or it is a defect. In addition, when...

I agree with the choice being limited to M-7300 or Y-1300. Between the two, it totally depends on how you like your music - brighter, detailed and crisp (Yammy) or nice, warm and laid back (Marantz). Purely for HT, Yamaha would certainly be a better choice. But for music, Marantz would be my...

hi, i have used both deftech sub 100tl and 200tl. i have the procinema 100 satellites as my HT speakers for 5.1 system and my experience with the subs were as under: 200tl: for HT, it was fantastic. when you hear the roar of the tigers in gladiator fight scene and the chains rustling...

In this situation, how would the subwoofer behave? If one wants the subwoofer also to kick in for stereo music, do you need to do anything or the AV receiver would automatically send the low bass signal to sub and stereo to to the main speakers through the stereo amp.

I am running Yammy RXV-1200 with Def Tech Pro cinema series for my HT set up. I am looking at upgrading my main speakers for better 2 channel music. I plan to use the Prosub100 as the subwoofer and am looking at good quality bookshelf speakers. What would your choice be in the 500-1000...

Thanks Bob and Charles, I really appreciate your suggestions. I agree that adding an amp with the current speakers may not give me as much of an upgrade in sound quality as speaker upgrades would. So, the first step would definitely be to upgrade the speakers. Would adding an amp after...

Yes, I am using Def Tech Pro Sub100 as the subwoofer. Will the amp really improve the audio quality is what I wanted to know from people who have done lots of upgrades. If it does not because of limited capability of the receiver pre/pro itself, I would spend the money on other components -...

I am running Yammy RXV-1200 with Def Tech Procinema 100 system. Using Toshiba - 4700 as the DVD/CD player. The HT is fantastic but the 2 channel music could be better. I am just looking for what would add the maximum bang for the buck to improve the quality of 2 channel music. I am thinking...

i am yet to hear a DVD that sounds better in DD compared to DTS. DTS is much superior and the difference is fairly obvious - it is not one of those where only a hardcore audipphile can make out the difference. interesting to know that LOTR is different - but how would that be?

Hey Sanjay, I am impresed with your audio set up. Just wanted to know where did you buy the paradigms? Do you get them in India or you bought it outside? Any idea on pricing if you do get them in India? Regards,
