The Integra Research RDC-7 has 3 component inputs and passes a perfect hdtv signal. I am running my DVD, Hughes e86 STB and Xbox thru it with exemplary results. Frank
Hi Brian, The advantage of the monoblock design is all channels will receive the rated power regardless of the load place on the unit as a whole. Back in the days of Dolby pro-logic this was not a big deal because the surround speakers were not full range and always require less power than...
Just want to add the Integra Research RDC-7 to the upgrade list. Had a software upgrade last year which included DPLII and the software hardware upgrade for Ultra II a few months ago. This unit has been out over 2 years and is still cutting edge as anything coming out now. Frank
Zzounds has the same Samson S-700 for $345 shipped. It is a little better than the SVS price. They have a wide selection of Samson amps if you want to get more or less power. http://www.zzounds.com/love.music?p=...=1505915019011

Jon,
I'm using a Sherbourn 5/1500a for the 5 main channels and the older Sherbourn 5/1500 for the subs and rear surrounds. Very happy with the sound and the blue leds used in the Sherbourn match the RDC-7 leds and display:)
I paid $3500 for my RDC-7 about a year ago. I believe the list...
Lane, That sounds like a good price. Being the person you are buying from is a friend you should know how he took care of it. I recently sold my 50vs-707 to a friend for $600 and he could not be happier. With your limited funds I would jump on it. Frank
I think the Bose comment was way off base. Def Tech does spend a ton on advertising and the dealers do get a 100% mark up if they sell a MSRP, however, unlike Bose Def Tech is not found at Sam's club or every department store in the mall.
And spending alot on advertising does not mean the...
Things change weekly with Ubid. I was high bidder on a Hitachi RPTV about a month ago when the reserve was finally lowered to a reasonable price. Three weeks later the same set has no reserve and 1 cent shipping!!:frowning:. Even so I still saved 3 to 4 hundred $ over local retailers with the...
I have gone thru 3 receivers, 2 amps, 2 dvd players and 2 laserdisc players but still have my original BP-10
mains and CLR-1000 center with the silk dome tweeter. It has been over 9 years, me-thinks, and no change in sight. Over the last 2 years I have added BPX surrounds and pro-monitor 100...
Welcome to the forum Bob. I am not familar with this mitsubishi model but they generally are well regarded except for some red push issues. You may want to change the "why" in your title to "how" Frank
I have heard neither but I have heard alot of current Sunfire mark I and II owners complaining because Bob wants to charge them near list price to upgrade to the mark III. It appears Sunfire's units are non upgradeable and the company has no loyalty to current owners. Of the two I wouild go with...
While I love my Integra Research RDC-7 I can't help thinking it is the same as any Onkyo. This belief was strengthened during the recent upgrade ordeal. The repair Center kept calling it a Onkyo RDC-7 and when I encountered problems with the upgrade I was directed to regular Onkyo customer...

Don't forget to charge any big purchase with a American Express or other premium card that doubles the manufacturer's warrantee. Usually only a year extra but free is good and it is better than giving the dim wit sales associate who knows nothing about the product a spiff. double F
How come no information on the new 4:3 sets is on Hitachi's web site?? Circuit City has the 53FDX20B in their flyer this week and I would like to get some better specs on this set before I have to deal with the sales people.
Kelly, you may want to contact Ubid about the color. A sample image usually should still represent the correct color. I recently won a auction from Ubid for a refurbished Toshiba DVD player that listed the wrong warrantee terms in the description. They gave me a $40 credit for the mistake...
I would also suggest going with a direct view 4x3 set for that viewing schedule. I would also suggest that if you decided to go with the Sony 40" wait until the new model comes out, sometime early summer. It will be the kv-40xbr800 and although similar in appearance to the current 40" will have...
It is amazing what some people pay. I just upgraded my laptop and Ebayed my old one. The winner ended up paying $270 less than what my upgrade unit cost and of course the upgrade is faster,has more features and comes with a warranty. I almost felt guilty depositing the money order.;)
Front effect speakers are found on upper end Yamaha receivers/processors. They are placed in the upper front corners of the room above the mains Some swear by them others don't use them. I used them during my Yamaha period. They created a larger frontal image area that was enjoyable with...
As for myself....Over the last 10 years in home theater 4 receiver/pre-amp changes have occurred. I started with a pioneer dpl receiver and was happy..A few years later I changed to a Yamaha receiver for the higher quality and various DSP modes and felt it was worth while. 3 years later( 3...
It is true there have been cases of drop-outs with other equipment, however, it is with 4 certain DVDs and this probelem has been attributed to a change in the encoding process of the disc. The Outlaw drop-outs seem to be with different DVDs and not related.
The problem I see is the two the SVS creators are manufacturers. Just because they have posted as regular members in the past does not mean it should continue. A SVS or manufacturers section should be set up so all members interested or wanting to discuss the sub can do so . The SVS creators...
