For movies your most important speaker is the center channel, and you should match (balance) everything across the front.

Ok HT gurus. The setup consists of an Hitachi 60v500 and *C DSR500 hd sat box, and a Panny RP91 DVD player. All hooked up with Phoenix Gold Platinum level cables. The question is concerning if a new toy is needed or not. Looking at line doublers or scalers to improve on my setup (is this hobby...

The Sammy is a fine set. In 3 months who knows what will be out there and at what price. Maybe LCOS could be an emerging option (more like 5 months with a Intel chip). I just received my Hitachi 60v500, and had no problems. It also only has 2 component inputs (I don't own a DVI machine yet, so...

An Elite dealer not happy with the product, maybe they're changing lines??? Anyways I own the Elite 45tx (pre 53tx) and its one great HT receiver.

Monster cables are overpriced and over rated. Oh but they have a very good marketing division. AR Master series are nice cables, wouldn't go lower then that (depends on your system). Also Phoenix Gold Platinum series is a mean cable, I have my system hooked up with them (component and digital)...

Ive read that the DVI's out right now dont make that big a difference, and are quite buggy (Philips new 13 bit DVD with DVI). Also that DVI cables can only be run in a very short length or picture quality degrades due to some outside electrical disturbances. I never performed a blind study with...

This was a funny thread. Many things factor into a purchase for a HT room. Availability of a product to test yourself; if only two FP's are being shown in your entire city would you still buy one based on reviews (not me and thats why I didnt). Also distance from the screen; are you trying too...

Hey, Im going to be working on my HT room starting in late Oct. and was wondering about cable length for a front projector. My main system will be at the front of the room under the screen, reasons dealing with my other cables (kimber kable in a bi-wire setup on the three front speakers). Q -...

I have a Pioneer 45tx powering Def Tech 2002tls, 2500, and 2 BPX side speakers. Im in an appartment right now (house in June) so I havent really pushed them yet.

Allot of people will say that wire plays no difference (post this on audioreview.com and see). I have Kimber Kable 8vs and 4vs in a bi-wire config for my mains (Def Tech 2002tl and also for the centre Def Tech 2500). I found that it made a slight difference from the normal stuff (was...

How about the Def Tech SupercubeI. Measures 14x14x14 with two 10 inchers and a 1500 amp and all the way down to 13 Hz. I heard Def Tech makes some wonderful subs. (Allmost as good as Subway):D

What would be a good amp for def tech 2002tl's? Looking for a two channel or three right now, for cost reasons. How is Adcom, Parasound or last years Rotel model? (looking for used, at least 150 watts per channel) Cheers

Receiver try Onkyo 600 on ebay for 350.00$ or Pioneer Elite 41tx also ebay 400.00$ Nothing wrong with ebay I bought my Elite 45tx from Ebay on a smoking deal. Now this leaves about 1600 for speakers. I would look at some the paradigm system 6 without a sub should fit the bill. Also...

I agree with everyone else on this one. I was looking at purchasing new speakers a few months back and I was allowed to demo some Energy Cr3's, C1's and C7's. After a week I returned the speakers and went with a different company a week later (Def. Tech's). These were nice speakers BUT I dont...

I have a Pioneer 45tx (100 watts/channel) running two 2002tl's,a 2500 centre, two BPX side surrounds, and two powermonitor 700's for the rear. That's 20 5 1/4 midranges, 11 tweeters and three 8 inch woofers running off the midrange input. The room is about 21 feet by 18 feet. Im just wondering...
