I have an older receiver that is in great shape, I love the sound and couldn't possibly afford it's equivalent in a new receiver. Like many, my problem stems from a lack of HDMI, for audio decoding and video switching. Would a low end receiver, such as a Sony make a good unit for decoding...

My last attempt at asking this question left a lot to be desired so I am going to try again. I have an HK AVR-146 receiver in my living room, we use it to drive a pair of really cheap speakers, I just wanted to get a little better than the TV was offering, sound wise. We use the dedicated...

I have found myself listening to more and more classical music the last year. It started because it can sound so amazing on my Maggie set up. I am now very interested in starting a classical collection but really have no idea where to start. There are so many versions of so much material that I...

I need a small subwoofer for a secondary system I have set up. I am only running three fron speakers and they are less than capable on the low end. My problem is that the sub has to be as small as possible. I don't expect big bass or even very low bass, I just need to fadd a little more depth...

Another thread I was involved in brought up the freezing you cables and running your wire through a sandbox tweak. I have heard a number of other odd tweaks that may or may not make a difference. What are the oddest tweaks you have heard of in someones system?

I have a small theater room and would like to see what I could do to get the components (receiver, players, ETC.) mounted onto a wall. I have seen a couple of systems you can buy but I don't like them. This includes the Vogal mounts. I looked at some server wall mounts but they are either too...

I am trying to mount my Aura bass shakers on a set of Lane Hopkins theater seats. I have a center love seat with armed side chairs. I can't see anyplace I am comfortable mounting them. Anyone have any experience with these? Thannks

There I am pumping gas, thinking about the rising cost of gas when I hear a semi-whispering voice behind me "hey man, you interested in buy some speakers?" I turn and smile. No thanks, I heard all about you white van guys, you sell crap. That's when he pointed out that he was in fact in a...

The MMG rears came in today and I ran home, set them up as fronts until the others get in and WOW! I am blown away at what these little beauties can do. I can't wait to hear the 1.6's and Center when they get here in a day or two. I Have always loved the sound of maggies but haven't been able...

OK, I have heard them all and I know what an over priced piece of crap anything with Bose on the front is. My dilemma is that with all my theater research and higher end buying habits I have never looked into an alternative for the Bose wave radio/cd. My sister just left me a message asking...

Most of the folks here probably don't have this problem but I have a 25 year old set of ESS Model 4 speakers that I hope never leave me. For those who have never heard of these wonders http://www.essspeakers.com/ the site is poor but the speakers stand up to some of the best speakers I have ever...

My new room is 11' wide and the seating is against the back wall. I know I need to place the speakers in or near the corners but would I be better off with direct, bipole,dipole or even tripole speakers. I a corner mount the best placement? I know it won't be perfect in the outside seats but...

I am getting ready to move next month and need to decide on wall colors this week. I have your standard off white walls in my current room but I am wondering if there is a prefered color for a theater wall. I have a front projector if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have been trying to find the differences between these sets and what those differences mean. The Toshiba site is very little help even when downloading the users manuals. Please... what will I be giving up if I buy the 65h82? I am most interested in the picture with DVD. HDTV is a secondary...

I have a friend with a new Toshiba 65" wide. The set line doubles all ports and the picture is very good considering he hasn't had it calibrated yet. Would he see any benefit from a progessive scan DVD player? Why?

I am thrilled with DVD_A at home and I have a large collection of discs as well as DTS music discs. I am considering getting a Panasonic in dash DVD-A deck and I was hoping someone here might have one or know something about them. I know I will never get the same sound as my home system but...

I am going to Honolulu next week and I was hoping some of you might have ideas for things to do besides lay on the beach. I am on a budget for this trip so the cheaper the better. So far I have planned a scuba dive and will see the Pearl Harbour monuments and such. I am taking surfing lessons...

I have found several listed but nobody has any in stock nor do they know when they will have any. If you know of someone who might have one in stock please let me know where. Thanks ------------------ The Mischievous Rogue Strikes Again! The Humble Hanson Theater

I started getting a hum in my subwoofer today. I have traced it to either the 6 channel output on my DVD Player or the input on the receiver. I have already changed out the cables and if the subwoofer cable between the player and receiver is pulled the hum goes away. I have had this set up...

Outlaw has all of the information about the cables on their site and they sy they started taking orders this weekend but I haven't been able to find any pricing. Has anyone had better luck? Of course now that I have written this they will post the prices in about 2 minutes...

You have probably guessed that I have a projector that can only accept RGB via the 15 pin connector. I am looking for an inexpensive converter but I have had very little luck finding anything at all. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks ------------------ The Mischievous...

Someone just tossed this one at me and it is driving me nuts. they said it was from Dennis Quade but I can't figure out which movie. The line is "your luck is about to change" Please free my mind. ------------------ The Mischievous Rogue Strikes Again! The Humble Hanson Theater

I have a friend who wants to get into dVD-ausio but doesn't want to spend big $$$ This player can be found for around $300 which makes me wonder if it is any good. I know it doesn't have bass management but he can live with that. Please let me know if you have anything good or bad to say about...

I would love to see this come out on DVD. Has anyone heard of a possible release. I don't even know who owns the rights to this one. ------------------ The Mischievous Rogue Strikes Again! The Humble Hanson Theater

I was told by a salesman today that the DST3000 will improve the picture on my 36" Toshiba standard TV. i have never heard this before and he went into how it would enable my TV to utilize the extra resolution available. Truth or fiction? What do you think? ------------------ The...

I have no idea why I had to pick this one up. I guess watching the trailers made me think it would have racing scenes equivalent to Super Speedway on steroids. (I also watched the new Super Speedway SE last night and the DTS track is incredible) I was sadly mistaken. The movie itself was what...

Ok, I know this doesn't make sense so let me explain. I finally got around to installing my front projection system and while I love having a 100" widescreen picture (OH baby do I love it) I found a change in the sound that is even more impressive. Just to get all the facts out there first...

I have a close friend who travels a lot and wants a portable player. If you have or know of someone who has one for a reasonable price please let me know. Thanks

I have noticed somedust like smears on my FP screen but they don't just wipe like dust. I have no idea how to clean the screen. I also have 2 pixels that have lost their reflective quality. It isn't a huge deal but it is a little distracting. Any help on fixing these problems is greatly...

I keep seeing posts about how great this is on the Denon 4802 but I don't get it. How is this different and what are the benefits? Thanks ------------------ The Mischievous Rogue Strikes Again! The Humble Hanson Theater [Edited last by Doug_H on August 14, 2001 at 01:38 AM]
