    low end dorm system, power amp suggestion?

    Count me in on the digital bandwagon too. Picked up a Rotel 1077 ($2500 MSRP) 7 channel digital amp and have been in nirvana ever since. The difference is stunning! (Over a Denon 4806 receiver w/140x7 and THX Ultra 2 certification). I'll do a full review on it later, but IMHO digital amps are...

    New Denon 4806, minor problems.

    Yep, posted there on the 4806 thread. Just spent another couple hours dinking with it, and finally got it working properly. For some stupid reason, MultEQ set the subwoofer to a shocking -12dB. I ran through Avia about 20 times and the SPL was waaaaay off for the bass region, so much so...

    New Denon 4806, minor problems.

    Had my 4806 for a few days now and having some minor problems. First, does the on screen display work through HDMI? I sat there playing with it for over an hour, and for the life of me I couldn't get the OSD to work with HDMI. Finally dragged out some old component cables, and it worked...

    low end dorm system, power amp suggestion?

    Wow, you're in a great position if all you need is an external amp. =) You've got a whole ton of very very good quality Pro amps (Rackmount type) available at very reasonable prices. I just ordered (5) Behringer A500 amps (one for each of my 5.1 speakers except for the powered sub). They...

    Best Buy -- Many Superbit DVDs now $9.99

    Well, after the prices went back to $9.99 today I ordered a few for in-store pickup at that same store. Got there, went to customer service, asked for the store manager, and had the 'Customer Service Manager' paged (Vanessa) who called me a liar and accused me fraud . The Store Manager...

    Best Buy -- Many Superbit DVDs now $9.99

    I had already ordered the ones I really wanted on ebay. The rest I just ordered from their site, and I'll be going in to the store tommorow and picking up the DVD's in person, and I will find that manager and make HER give them to me personally, along with an apology. I complained to ABC...

    WTB: Superbit DVDs

    Well, I got there last night and they called me a liar and accused me of fraud. I sent a nasty letter complaining about their false advertising to pretty much everyone. Fox News, NBC, ABC, CNN, TechBargains, Best Buy corporate headquarters, etc... I guess they decided to change their mind...

    Best Buy -- Many Superbit DVDs now $9.99

    Put together a quick letter to the news media. Is there anything else relevant that I've neglected to mention? It looks pretty cut and dried to me: "Best Buy is currently falsely advertising DVDs for sale for $9.99 on their website, but when you go in to the store, they refuse to honor the...

    Best Buy -- Many Superbit DVDs now $9.99

    Well, I ran, didn't walk to my local Best Buy, grabbed about 10 titles and ran for the register with a printed copy of the ad from their website. They called me a liar, implied that I made the ad up, said it was fraud, and said that it's not their ad. I pulled it up on my cellphone...

    HDMI switching pre-amp like the Denon AVR-4806?

    Hi guys, Thinking of upgrading my amplifier to something a bit more modern, and I was wondering if there were any pre-amps out there that also have all the latest features like HDMI switching? I'd hate to pay bank for a solid AV receiver and then use outboard amps and let the receiver's...

    119" or 133" Screen for this room?

    I'd certainly be open to another brand of screen like Carada, looks like they make some very nice stuff, but they don't seem to have a pulldown screen. I was planning on going with an electric pulldown screen so that when we're not watching movies, it transforms back into a 'regular' living...

    119" or 133" Screen for this room?

    Nod, I was originally thinking 100", but I've always been one to go for overkill. (Hence my 700hp Corvette Z06). ;) One thing I forgot to mention, the ceilings are vaulted and it gives the room a very big feel. Ceiling height where the screen would be is 10 feet, climbing to 20 feet towards...

    119" or 133" Screen for this room?

    Hi guys, We're moving into a new place next week and my old 65" RPTV will be sold. Planning on picking up a Panny AE700 from Costco, and trying to nail down a good screen size. My current choice of screen would be the Dalite High Power, 16:9/1.78 ratio. I would love to go with a...

    Super Bowl XXXV HDTV Reception Problems?

    My results in SF: Almost Perfect I did get video breakup very rarely during the broadcast, usually just for a second or so. Audio quality was perfect 95% of the time, but I got some audio burps towards the end. The video quality was absolutely spectacular, everything I always wanted out of...

    Recommedations for an HDTV

    Agreed. I got a WS-65905 a year+ ago and I'm totally and completely happy with it. I have no reservations at all recommending the WS-65907! Go for those 10 extra inches!! They're worth every penny! I'm even lusting after the 73" version now. (Paid $4200+$75 shipping for mine, + tax, + warranty...

    My Mits 65807 buying experience with Sears

    Nope, in my experience $50-$100 won't do it. Movers wanted to charge $175 minimum to move my HDTV into my upstairs apartment!!! (I have the WS-65905, purchased right when they came out for $4200+$75 shipping). It's very easy to take apart, and unless you're a weakling, you and one other strong...
