    How much of your collection would you buy again in HD-DVD?

    It depends on the price. Of the 400+ DVD titles I have right now, I only have a few that I paid over $19.99 (US). At that same price point, I'll probably replace at least half in the first couple of years with the rest phased out over a bit longer period. However (you knew that was coming...

    need 16x9 HDTV advice

    Bob, 1) I bought a 58" 16:9 RPTV and currently, it is solely used for DVD viewing, so NO you aren't loony! Well at least by my standards. ;) I won't be hooking up cable until my provider has a Hi-Def feed, or I make the plunge into satellite/OTA. Oh, Good Luck!

    New Yamaha extremely harsh in 2CH--is it broken?

    Brett, Just an FYI: As of recently, Krell does make a speaker. The LAT (Lossless Acoustic Transducer). It has received some very good reviews. Here's a link to Krell's web pages about it. PS. Y'all don't take this as a positive response to John's threads - it's not. He seems to have an...

    The only reason to buy Superbit...

    Okay, here's one scene that I use for video comparison. In Fifth Element when Leeloo (sic?) jumps off the building and you are looking down. Look at the detail in the background especially focusing on the traffic. The detail level is superb in the Superbit. Now on the audio side, it's not a...

    Speaker setup for my new HT room?

    Tim, I agree with Matt. Rotate it if SAF allows it. You'll have a much more balanced soundfield and (IMHO) a symmetric room allows for easier accoustic corrections.

    I need to upgrade, would LOVE help!

    Roy, do you have a preference on how you like your audio? Bright, warm, detailed, accurate, etc. . . ? Since you are looking to upgrade your entire system, I recommend auditioning receivers AND speakers together - not necessarily BUYING together, as that could be a serious chunk of change at...

    Flagship Receivers

    Being a Yamaha RX-V1 owner, I can tell you that for the Yamahas it DOES make a substantial difference, not only in quality of the components used, but also in the sound. To me, it was well worth the extra cost to get the extra performance.

    Help me pick out a new 16x9 HDTV

    Even though it's not on your list, give this one a look: I picked up the Pioneer Pro Elite 610 (58") after looking a bunch of RPTV's. It and the 710 (65") had the best OOTB picture of all the RPTV's I auditioned, along with the best looking cabinet fit and finish. I am extremely pleased with the...
