Nick, great thought on the comparo. Especially if I wanted to compare the 950. Obtaining the Rotel would be difficult as there are no dealers anywhere near me. Even if I could talk someone into mail ordering it to me, they probably wouldn't have a very favorable return policy. But I might try...

Nick & Scott, Thanks for the thoughts here. It makes sense that the difference between a pre/pro and my receiver for movie processing is minimal.

I am facing a required upgrade situation as I am a not so proud owner of the Pioneer Elite 47TX. I have the Atlantic Tech Sys 350 speakers. My receiver shuts down pretty frequently when driven not much more than moderately because my speakers are 4 ohms. Anyway, my first and obvious step...

Thanks for all the help here, guys. Frank, thanks for the headsup on the Sunfire amp. The article was interesting, but it sounds like the amp is more of a music lover's amp that will work well for HT. I'm 95% HT, 5% music. I've seen some other negative comments and the different approach of...

Looking for some help here. I have the Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX receiver mated with Atlantic Technology's System 350. It has been shutting down at moderately aggressive volume levels. As suggested on other threads here, I've tried changing out speakers, etc. and it doesn't matter - the thing still...

Thanks, Chad, for that info. So, the next units out are down in the line from the 47TX. Maybe a Christmas/first of the year release for a replacement or up the line unit? If so, I definitely won't be waiting until then. Did your friend say anything about replacements for anything equal to or...

Thanks, Chad, that would be great. Since I'm not in a hurry, I might as well take advantage of any new models offered. I anxiously await anything further you or anyone else might add. Thanks, Cliff

Thanks for the help here guys. Chad, just out of curiosity, what is your source? You'd think if they were releasing that soon, some info. would be out. I don't necessarily have to have the latest and greatest, but a replacement unit would do two things. One, give me the option of the new...

I'm interested in buying the VSX-47TX, but it has been out since last fall. Anyone know if Pioneer has announced a replacement for it yet? If so, how much? When will it street? Thanks for any info. -Cliff

All right guys, let me see if I can steer this back to a little bit more of what I'm asking. First, I was not asking for a critique of my decision to buy HT chairs, put in carpet, paint, etc. I guess I thought with the topic named "Upgrade from 5.1 to 7.1 at Hand" the replies would be focused...

Dave, Good to hear you're happy with the 49TX and feel that Ultra 2 bests Yamaha's proprietary modes. I always watch in 70mm Adventure with the front effects engaged and was a little worried about giving up a huge front sound stage. Sounds like I've got nothing to worry about there. I too...

Allright, I'm calling on my fellow forum members to critique, with feedback and suggestions, my fast approaching move to 7.1. This summer, I'm upgrading my HT to 7.1, buying 6 cinema recliners (with cupholders and everything) , installing a platform to raise one row, and installing movie...

Hi guys, From THX's website:

Camp, While not having a catchy name to go by, the Sherwood Newcastle R-963 does have a 7.1 matrix mode for 5.1 tracks (according to this month's S&V review). That's what I'm referring to. After all, L7, CES, THX Ultra 2 etc. are all 7.1 matrix modes. And that's what I'm after, who does...

Glad to hear of the positive experiences you all have had with the 8000. Yes, my friend has heard the 8000 being a dealer of the unit. He was not commenting on the sound quality of the piece, but rather was cautioning me on the possibility of having problems due to the experiences he has seen...

In the interest of fairness to Outlaw cust. serv., Scott has quickly responded to an identical thread in the Outlaw Saloon stating that he did not receive my last e-mail. He indicated that he would research the issue and let me know something. However, as I told him over there, I'm not...

Greg H, He said that they had experienced an abnormally high number of quality control issues with the 8000 (and the entire HK receiver line-up). He mentioned things like audio dropout, losing memory settings, bad/dead amp channels, etc. Based on these quality issues, he just advised me to...

Sorry to be negative about what I'm sure will be a great product for many on this forum. However, for those who want to use this unit to operate a second room and actually control the source/volume from the second room, then this is not the pre/pro for you. I've posted on this subject here and...

Test 1

Andrew, See my thread started here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=65937 I've confirmed all limitations with Outlaw. I'll start another thread on this topic later tonight. -Cliff

Greg R, From THX's website:

Hi all! I'm getting ready to upgrade from a Yamaha RX-V2095 to a new receiver in the $1,500 - $2,000 (street price) range. I have Atl. Tech's Sys 350 (dual subs) plus a pair of their 251.1LR's currently serving front effects duty. Since I have a dedicated HT, I'll have no problem moving the...

Trying to get answers to a couple of questions from the current users/well connected folks of the Outlaw 950 (Gonk, RAF?). I have a Yamaha RX-V2095 which is my control center for HT and whole house distributed a/v. The volume control motor has been acting up (sticks intermittently) requiring...

Elmo, I'm a multiple repeat buyer of One Call and have had nothing but great experiences with them. Their sales staff is non-commisioned, but call and ask for Brian and tell him Cliff Kling sent you. He should give you some pretty good prices and sometimes can do better than what is posted...

I'm doing a whole house/HT install for a friend's Dad. I'm interested in the following for his Den surround set-up: a pair of the ProMonitor 100's (white), a ProCenter C2 (not sure if black or white), and a ProSub 200TL (white). I've got a budget of $850.00 + shipping. The above lists for...

Kevin, I tried to e-mail you, but two tries were bounced back to me. Is your hotmail account still active, or do you have another address now? The e-mail dealt with some specifics of Players that I didn't think anyone outside of our area would be interested in. Thanks, Cliff

John, I've never heard of them. Maybe Kevin has. What physical address do they have? I'll try to check 'em out for you. I'd be surprised if they have a showroom - I think I know of all the showrooms here in town (very few). Take care, Cliff

Anyone? My local dealer won't budge off of list. I know Def. Tech doesn't allow mail-order, but that doesn't bother me if someone is willing to do it. I'm doing an install for a friend and need the L/C/R Pro Cinema 100 and matching sub. Any info. will be much appreciated. Thanks, Cliff

Great news Tomk! I know the wait will be tough. The wait, however, is going to be a little easier on me. Some of you may have followed my post regarding the multi-media room we are constructing at my school. I am the "expert" on the audio/video side. We have a computer/network contractor...

Come on guys, don't give up. You've got to push harder. I absolutely did not take my player to a service center first. I outlined every step I took, start to finish. Of course, I'm on step 6 now, having shipped my player back yesterday. Remember, the person you call at step 1 will not be the...
