Hi all, I've been delaying my first HDTV purchase due to the rapid change in technology and connectivity issues. But, my 10 year old Panny blew up on me 2 nights ago, so the time is now! I've found a great deal on the Sammy HLP5085W and will probably buy tonight. My question is, on what sources...

My local dealer has the Rotel RCD-951/61/71 models on clearance. They are demo units, but they will give me the full warranty. Does anyone here have one of these players and would like to give me the :emoji_thumbsup: or:thumbsdown: Thanks for any help.

I'm looking for some suggestion's for a pair of speakers for my living room. I took my old pair and moved them to rear surround duty in my downstairs new 7.1 setup. I have Def-tech for movies downstairs but I want a pair that are more for music. I'll be using a pretty good Yamaha receiver and...

Guys, I need your help on something I know nothing about. My good buddy has a B-day on Saturday and we want to get him a DVD player. A local B&M shop has a Sony that has a DD and DTS decoder built into the DVD player. He has a Yammy RXV-850 which is only Pro-logic. My question is:will he get...

I watched Star Wars on Laser last night with my new 3802 using PL II.Overall it sounded great,but I noticed what seemed to be a lack of bass compared to my old Denon 2700 receiver using regular PL.My Def-techs are set to small and I get great bass while in DTS,DD & music.Can anyone help me with...

I am currently running my 5 x 100W Adcom amp from my Denon 2700 receivers pre-outs.It sounds great,but I'm selling the Denon to a buddy and buying the Rotel RSP-1066 pre-pro to catch up to the new formats and improve the sound.I'm already set up with 7.1 speakers in my dedicated room and I've...

In the last month I've slowly begun the transition into seperates.Right now I have a 5 channel Adcom running from my Denon receiver while I wait for the Outlaw 950.I'm already set up with a 7.1 speaker system so I will be looking for a good 2 channel for my mains.I also have a old 2 channel...

I posted 2 days ago about buying a Parasound amp for my system.I phoned the seller and the amp is already sold:thumbsdown: One of the new amps I found is a B&K ST1430.It's 125x3 and would be a nice fit for my setup.Can anyone offer a opinion on this amp or other B&K's hooked up to Def-tech...

In the last 5 months I've added a seperate amp to power my SVS,and now a 5 channel to run thru my Denon receiver.I'm now going to pick up a 2 channel Parasound for my mains when I move to 7.1 when my Outlaw 950 shows up.My question is:what do I plug all of these into? I seem to be getting by...

Can anyone help me in choosing between these 2.They are both available at the same cost,but I can't listen to either of them on my own system as it will be a private sale.I already have a 5 channel Adcom so this amp will be for the mains which are Def-tech BP-10's.I listen to approx. 60% H.T...

I'm looking for a good 2 channel amp to fill out my 7.1 system(I have the 5 channel)I can get the Denon POA 2800 for a very good price locally and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or any related amps from Denon. Thanx,Wayner

I just purchased a Adcom GFA-7400 5x100 amp for my home theater.I would now like to find a 2 channel amp for a 7.1 setup.My questions are,do I have to stay with Adcom?Will another amp sound totally different? I was planning on using the 2 channel for the 2 back surrounds and let the 5 channel...

I've been demoing receivers for 2 months now and finally made my decision.I was going to pick up the Onkyo 898 on Saturday after grinding the poor salesman for the last 2 weeks.Last night on the way home from work,I stopped at a different B&M store to pick up a couple of DVD's and as usual I...

It looks like Parasound has come up with a product that will hook up to your existing DD/DTS receiver/pre pro and decode the extra surround channels.It's called the CSE-6.1 and retails for $400.00.I found a review in The Perfect Vision.Sounds like a great way to get the new formats without...

DVDFILE.COM reports that Warner is working on this great movie as we speak.The street date was not released,but this is great news!:emoji_thumbsup:

Can anybody offer their opinion on what I would be missing if I go with the Denon instead of the 950 as a Pre/Pro.I've had good results from Denon in the past(I have a 4 year old AVR 2700 hooked up to my Def-Techs)and I would like to upgrade to the newer formats.The problem I have is,being in...

I've heard of timbre matching your speakers for better sound.My fronts all match,but the surrounds will not.What does this apply to on the speaker? The 2 brands I'm looking at,both have aluminum domes,which is the same as my mains.Is this the key or should I be looking at something else.Thanx...

I've finally decided to buy the 3802 after 2 months of listening and reading peoples posts here.I have one remaining question.How is this unit set up for HDTV? I plan on buying a approx. 57" set in the fall.Is the Denon suited for HDTV,or will I be dissapointed in the fall after my...

I've just finished framing in a false ceiling in my home theater room in the basement to keep the noise from travelling upstairs.Does anyone know what options I have to finish the ceiling besides the usual tape/mud & spray.I'd love to find some sort of panel I could put on the gyproc without...

Has anyone had a chance to listen to this yet? It just arrived in Canada and won't be set up for a little while. Thanx Wayne

I understand this show is in January in N.Y.C.I'm getting my Xmas bonus and was trying to decide on which $1000-$1500 receiver to buy around boxing day.Is it worth waiting a few months to see what is new and improved from the show? I could probably hold out until May,if this helps me get a more...

Has anyone done a side by side comparison between these two.I've heard the 3802 and it sounds good, but I have no access to listening to the 898.I realize the Onkyo is a bit more money,but that is not a issue in this case.I'd like some opinions on these two products regarding sound and...

I called Customs Canada and they told me that there is no duty on stereo or home theater receivers.All you have to pay is PST & GST.I can save around $350.00 getting the Onkyo 898 in the U.S. Has anyone else done this? Thanx for any help. Wayner

I saw this DVD at my local store,it has sort of a clear cover to it.Is this the one to buy or not?What is the diff. between this issue and the standard one.Thanx,Wayne

I'm trying to decide between the 2802 & the 3802.I currently have a 3 year old AVR2700 which does not have DTS.My main question is,would the 2802 be a upgrade,or am I just getting a updated version of what I already have.If that is the case,I will look more towards the 3802.My 2700 has...

Does anyone know who makes a DTS decoder I can purchase that will plug into my Denon 2700.I bought this 3 years ago and it didn't have DTS.I like the receiver and don't think upgrading to the new 2802 is worth the money.Thanks for any help. Regards,Wayne
