    best bookshelf speakers at BestBuy?

    Marcus, it sounds like your receiver does 6.1 processing, but only has 5 amplifier channels. I believe this was more common in slightly older receivers (2 to 3 years old). To use the surround back, you would need to buy a separate amplifier. You would only need a one-channel amplifier...

    Berkline 090s - Where to Buy??

    Kevin, I'm not sure why JC Penney's website doesn't list them - I noticed that too when I was looking around a few weeks ago. Is the store 2 hours from you a home furnishings store or just a regular department store? The one I was at was home furnishings (meaning all they sell is furniture at...

    Berkline 090s - Where to Buy??

    Check with your local JC Penney home furnishings store, if you have one. Mine here in MN just started carrying the 090, and last week had them on sale for what I thought was a pretty reasonable price. The 088s were on sale, too. The salesperson I spoke with indicated that I could pretty much get...

    Carpeting experts please

    If the installer is correct, and the line is the result of a fold/tuck, then your carpet wouldn't be considered "second quality" and the carpet store didn't get a discount from the mill. I would start by following the steps the saleperson suggested. Try using a small attachment on your...

    Banana Plug Question

    I have the GLS Audio non-locking bananas. I haven't used other bananas, so I can't comment on relative quality, but overall I'm happy with the GLS ones. They seem to be well made and were easy to install. Price was also right. I do agree with a previous poster who said that they don't fit...

    I sent you a PM over at the Polk forum regarding these speakers. Thanks, James

    Ceiling Dilemma

    I can't tell exactly what's going on in that picture, but it looks like you could separate the two HVAC lines and run one around the left hand-side of the room. It would run all the way around the left-hand perimeter, then across the front of the room to meet up with the existing outlet point...

    Powered Tower Owners...

    I have Polk RT3000s, a powered tower that goes down deeper than my separate sub (coincidentally, a Polk 650). I use a different approach than the 3 you outlined. On my pre/pro, I set sub to "off" and fronts to "large". This sends all LFE to the fronts. I run two sets of speaker wire from the...

    Sanyo PLV-70. Pulled the BIG TRIGGER!!

    That booby prize still available? Since your metal connectors are installed directly into the metal panel, you've essentially wired all your surround speakers together. Very unfortunate, especially since you did such a nice job on the panel. By the way, thanks for the progress update and...

    Recommendations for audio rack

    You may want to take a look at the Euro Furniture line by Sanus. Great build quality, and very flexible. You start with a base unit (model = EFAB), and add as many shelves as you need (model = EFAS). My 4 shelf Sanus rack was about $260, I think. James

    Polk RT300p LOwer half subs?

    Dylan, I own the RT3000P's. Performance is amazing. I also own Polk's PSW650, a dual 10" 165 watt powered sub. I believe that the PSW650 is comparable to the CT120, or perhaps the CT150. The RT3000s blow away the PSW650 in terms of output and quality of bass. In fact, with the RT3000's...

    Good $250 5-CD changer (Denon vs HK vs Sony ES)

    I own the Harmon Kardon FL8550, which I believe is very similar to the FL8380. I picked it up fairly recently from the Harmon Kardon outlet store online for about $110 (refurbished - MSRP is listed at around $500, I think). It sounds really good, but there are a couple things that bug me a...

    Be honest, how does standard analog cable look on a large HDTV?

    I have a Toshiba 56H80 and analog cable. The picture quality with cable is much better than I anticipated, after seeing the same TV set up at Best Buy. Probably because at BB its split 50 times, and the TV isn't even close to calibrated. Couple things I've done to improve cable picture: 1)...
