It was in the early 60's when I saw 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' for the first time on 'NBC's Saturday Night At The Movies'. I must have been 4 or 5 years old at the time and had snuck (sneeked?) out of my bedroom to hide in my favorite spot slightly behind the living room couch (where the...

"Also....do you cover shipping costs or do they for you to get it fixed/replaced." My DLS 10 arrived Monday DOA. When I called PE customer service, they gave me a RMA number and said they would reimburse me for UPS ground shipping. They said they would send a replacement out when the...

After waiting for a few weeks I received my DLS 10 sub from parts express yesterday and - unfortunately for me - it was DOA. The power lamp comes on, the auto sensing indicator turns from red to green when a signal is fed to the sub, but no amplifier output. Zippo. Called parts express. Tech...

>I just installed a Marantz MM9000 into my system. I second the motion for the Marantz MM9000. I'm using it with a Sony STR-DA30ES (soon to be upgraded to a DA4ES) and Paradigm Titan speakers. Sounds terrific.

And how about that Ladyfish? Schwing!

I have a verry gweat friend in Wome... Sorry :D

I had pretty much the same problem with my Sony DA30ES receiver & Paradigm Titans, but I didn't discover it until I tried to calibrate the sound system using Avia and a Radio Shack SPL meter. I tried swapping out speakers on the low channel (front, right), but a bad speaker wasn't the problem...

Hey Norman, I know it's probably too late to test the receivers you already have results for, but in the future could you also have your lab test for the 'two-channels driven' specs in addition to the 'all-channels driven' voltage and wattage numbers? The 'two-channels driven from 20-20000...

Looks like a keeper to me. I know it's a relatively new receiver, but has anyone tried using it as a pre/pro by hooking it up to an external amplifier? That is what I am seriously considering using the 811s for :) KC

Norman L I've been looking at this receiver as well. It appears Best Buy made a big boo boo! DTS-ES matrix yes, descreet, no. From the specs found at a Yamaha on-line retailer: Surround Modes: In addition to straight Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS playback, you can choose from the...

StevenK, How well does the Pioneer VSX-D811S work as a pre/pro with your Newcastle 9080 amp? I have an opportunity to pick up a 9080 amp and like the idea of having all the bells & whistles of the 811S. Or have you decided to go with the Yamaha piece? In either case, how about your thoughts...

Getting back on track... Check out the new JVC RX-8020VBK A/V receiver. It's rated at 120 Watts (2 channel) or 100 Watts (5 channels). http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?model...L026800&page=2 - Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, and Dolby Pro Logic II. - S-video + component switching (35 MHz...

Trinity and Beyond; The Atomic Bomb Movie Trinity and Beyond is one of my favorite DVDs and probably the one I use most often to demo my system. Narrated by William Shatner (no, he doesn't sing) and original score by the Moscow Symphony. A very interesting documentary to begin with, plus audio...

Hey guys, some of us haven't watched the episode yet. No (more) spoilers pul-eeze! KC

CBS will be bringing the big W to all HDTV owners with March Madness. It will be a dipsy-doo-dunk-a-roo! Tournament time will be awesome bay-beee! I can't wait! KC
