I am shopping for a new HDTV and am just about ready to pull the trigger on a 70" Sony SXRD. I have a Sony store near me and I can pick this set up (referb with warranty) for $4400. Are there any other TVs I should look at before I buy this one? I want to stay in the 70" range and this seems...
Yee-Ming, Your right on track. Most friends that ask about the Bose are below average audiophiles. I know they would be happier in the $500-$1000 price range. What about Cambridge Sound Works? They seem to give Bose some competition a few years ago. TedO
First off this thread is NOT to trash Bose. We all know knocks toward them. I have a few friends that want the small size of the Bose cube style systems for their home theater. They would like small speakers that would be easy to hide or would blend in well. In wall speakers are out of the...
Ben,
You don't have to put the Blueprint into a sonotube, you can use it instead of the Av15. The 1503 sells for $239 and would stack up well for your needs. see their web site. Link Removed

I once blew a subwoofer driver, the voice coil was damaged. It would play fine at lower volumes, but once you started to turn it up, the driver would start to distort. The driver then deteriorated very rapidly (sound wise) until I replaced it. Moving the cone in and out by hand, I could feel the...
What would be great is to compile all (most) of the questions asked on this board into an FYI page. I would guess most every question has already been answered at least once. Now we just need a volunteer that is well versed in sub building and wed page building. Brax Or maybe all us...
Too bad Mike (that your not in Milwaukee anymore), I could have given you a good deal on my 16-46cs+. As far as getting a sub, it's about the best thing I have done for my home theater system. I started to get interested in subs reading this board so I took the plunge and pre-ordered a...
