My old 27" Mitsubishi dies on me. It was a hand-me-down. As a replacement present I received a 20" Samsung Dynaflat TXL2091 direct-view tv. It has S-video and Component inputs. However, I'm a little worried about the size. Is a 20" going to be big enough? It's my main viewing tv in my...

I would like to know this too. I have a regular non-HDTV and need a good, but inexpensive, dvd player. Any thoughts? Thanks.

A couple of things I forgot to mention... I plan to double box the dvd player with big-bubble wrap in one box with that box packed with peanuts or something else in a seperate box. It will ship insured as well. Secondly, I am not sure if it was assumed or not, but shipping is extra. I...

Unit is in great shape. I still have the original remote. The player still has the 96/24 sticker on the front fold-down door. I do not have the original box or instructions. I am selling in order to fund a Playstation 2 purchase. I also have sinced moved up to a HTPC as my DVD player. Most...

Ok, here's mine. I'm 24 and a full-time Senior in college. I took a couple of years off from school earlier to work, but decided to go back for my degree. TV: Used Mitsubishi 27" (the tube blew recently) Receiver: Yamaha RX-V995 DVD: Sony DVP-S7700 (looking to sell this too) Speakers...

Mike, I though about that, but I wasn't sure if I could get a good matching center speaker. Does that really matter all that much? What rears and center are you using or suggest? Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I will keep the Yamaha and save some money for a dvd player and/or...

In case you have not done this, you might have better luck posting it at the AVS Forums. They seem to like CRT front projection setups a lot more. And it's a cool forum too. Good luck on your sale.

I have an old Yamaha RX-V995 that's about two years old. I never bought a 5.1 speaker setup, because I went back to living in a dorm before I could finish building a home setup. So I ended up using a pair of DCM 10" full-range floorstanders for the front. Well, I have sinced moved out and am...

Toshiba offers both a 20" & 24" in the 20AF41 and 24AF41. They are flat-screen and have both s-video and component inputs. I'm looking for one as well fpr my video game consoles. The cheapest I have found the 20" is $280 at J&R. The 24" ups the price a bit more to $400 or $450 I think...

Yeah, that was one thing I noticed when I looked at the Wega. It seemed "bigger" than my old 27" in terms of picture size. I've got some thinking to do. I still have not made up my mind. If I can get this thing going with a CRT projector then I will be happy with a regular 32" TV, but I...

Ok, I was all set to go with a Toshiba 32A41 for $499 at Best Buy. I am trying to get a used CRT projector for my main movie watching. However, that might not take place till November or December. Either way, I was going to get a television to use for regular NTSC viewing and sports. Back to...

I was looking at those AR9's too, but I had a question about the next model up. The AR5 I think. Over at AR's website they list the upper models as having powered subs built into them. Would it be worth it to go for a pair of AR5's. At only $300 more, that would cover the price of a seperate...

So, is this rebate still there? I got the new flyer for today and they list the Sony again, but it's still advertised at $199. I am going to check Best Buy probably tomorrow afternoon, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had any recent luck with getting it cheaper than the $199 price tag...

You might want to try entering your zip code at this site and get the local flyer for Best Buy that week to make sure: http://www.bestbuy.com/Homepage/WeeklyStoreAd.asp?b=0 Here in Nashville, they list the Sony WM40 at $199 in the store as well on the flyer. Richard

I would check into a used CRT projector with low hours and possibly use a HTPC (Home Theater PC) as the DVD player/scaler. You might want to check out the forums at AVS Forums . [Edited last by Richard Watt on September 26, 2001 at 05:58 PM]

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I would definitely like to audition these before I make any purchase. It's harder to find places that sell high-end headphone compared to speakers. When I went looking for info on the HD600's, I found that one reviewer at GoodCans.com liked the Grado SR325 better...

I tried looking over at Link Removed on this subject, but their forums are currently down. I am starting to really get into Classical and some Jazz listening. I had thought about getting a good 2-Channel setup, but living in an apartment limit the level of sound I can play at. So, I went...

Well, this is a topic that I am interested in, because I just moved into a new apartment this past weekend. I don't have my Home Theater setup. In fact, my 27" TV blew a tube Saturday night. I am on the top floor of the complex and I would really like to keep bass to a minimum so my neighbors...

I would also suggest you check out the AVS Forums. They have wonderful members and tons of helpful info on any kind of projection setup. I'm in the market for a used CRT FP myself, but my budget is close to $1700.

I would definitely check out the SVS Subwoofers. Their link should be on the front page of the forum list up top. Many people seem to rave about them. This is what I am going to get when I get my money saved up. Good luck with your choice!

I don't mean to change the subject, but Manny, that BottleHead site is cool! That is so neat that you can build your own amps and speakers for that price. I am definitely interested. Anyway, thanks for the link. I was looking for something to go with my possible 2-channel SACD setup. Keith...

I didn't mean for the subject line to sound like I was specifically talking about connecting a XLR output to a Samson amp. I had other questions too. I meant it to sound like I was covering everything from anything to XLR. Ok, I tried to search for these, but the search function doesn't seem...

Thanks. I have seen XLR jacks on some high-end amps I saw in a magazine. My receiver (Yamaha RX-V995) doesn't have them. I always like to possibly plan for the future and I didn't know if down the road XLS might be a possible option. However, in my case I doubt I will be making a purchase...

I'll post back here with my review once I get everything worked out. On a side note, I always hate it when people don't respond to their own threads on whether a solution worked or if they decided to make that purchase or not. Anyway, back to the subject... The only thing I like in...

Thanks for the info guys! I think this (SACD, that is) is something I would like to get into. I read about the Sony 775 model and it looks nice -- something that is not too expensive for entering this new format. I appreciate the help.

I have not researched SACD yet. I'm currently looking into it. I have read a few posts and I know that SACD can output into multi-channel. However, is SACD 2-channel superior to say, using a regular CD and cd player? If you have any links that discuss SACD I would love to see them. Thank you.

Luis, If you don't mind me asking...Where did you get the Sony from? I have been looking for a FP for my apartment and I don't have enough money to get the NEC LT150. I figured I could try and find a 400Q some where still being sold. Are these units fine to get used? Thanks. Richard

That's cool. What I meant by "unpowered" was that it would need an amp. Some people choose to use their own amps such as a receiver or a seperate amp. I refer to "powered" subs as those that have amps built into them. As far as hooking them up to your receiver. I have never purchased a...

I've heard nothing but good things from owners of the SVS Subwoofers. I'm looking at them myself, although, I am waiting till I finish my move before purchasing. According to their website the 25-31CS version of their subs is only $369. I know that is higher than your $300 quote, but I wasn't...

I went by a local electronics store recently to check out the RPTV's they had. I am going to be using a HTPC (Home Theater PC) for my DVD playback and "scaler" for NTSC viewing. They didn't have it in stock, but they were going to be selling the Mitsubishi WS-55859 55", which is almost the...
