    I need subwoofer help!!!

    I love my Polk speakers. I have older RTi series 7.1 in the Theater room and 5.1 in the bedroom. I cannot stand Polk subs. I'd recomend anything other then. I agree with the last post... no need to match speakers/sub... just another 2cents.

    Yamaha RX-V530 question

    What about stereo mode- 2 channel. May be the left amp has gone bad. If you have moved speakers,wires and the set-up is correct...I dont see much left but a bad channel. I had that happen to a standard Pio AV reciever I had... about 2 months after warranty went out. Maybe you have a friend...

    Argument - TV above Fireplace

    I have my Plasma above my Electric Fireplace and love it. Course its not the biggest fireplace too begin with. It also shoots the heat towards the floor so nothing is going up!. I agree I'd be leary about putting one over a "real" fireplace.

    Panasonic Sound problem

    Pioneer VSX-516-K A/V Receiver

    my only experience with the "inexpensive" pioneers has been good and bad. For the first year the unit was great! Sounded pretty good- had a lot of goodies on it- then about a month after the warranty ran out- the right channel went quiet. Not totaly die..but just quited. I swore never too buy...

    Anyone else have poor picture quality on DirecTV local channels?

    NBC has weird audio tracks in HD- sometimes sounds like a "hall" effect. Mostly during commercials- go figure...other then that...down here in S.A.- my Direct is awesome- way better then I ever got with Dish.

    Bose Connectivity?

    I ran those ugly cubes for years on my yamaha stereo with no issues and no damage to the darn things. I did however...have them running off my sub so the signal they were getting was probably cut off @80hz. I had the 5.1 system and hated the bass module...so just ran them off the other sub...

    subwoofer placement

    I've been running Polk speakers for years...I evan how powered towers (RT2000i's)... but I cannot stand thier subs. Thats my opinion. I personally have had best luck with the subs when you front load them.. By this I mean in line with the front speakers on the viewing wall. One thing you may...

    Receiver recommendation

    I know that Onkyo,Denon,Yamaha have models that will do what you want and in your price range. I was in the same boat as you when shoping around for a new reciever- I believe there will be 1-2 units per company that will do what you want: Denon AVR987 and AVR887 , Onkyo TXSR804, Yamaha HTR-6090...

    Is tv to close?

    A lot will depend on the tv. I have seen on some tv's when you are too close- the image is poor as compared to when you are sitting at a better viewing distance. I know on my Toshiba 46" DLP there is a distance too be had or the pic looks grainy. Lot is personal preference also. I'd just be sure...

The system was a full 7.1 M&K ran by B&K- had the 200x7 amp on them. The sub was awesome! Not boomy and did a great job. Too add- He then put in a...
