My favorites that I've personally demoed, in order of preference: *Revel Performa M20 *nOrh Marble 9.0 (I guess you can call these "bookshelf") *Neosonik Z2 *Dynaudio 1.3mkII Monitors that I haven't heard but would like to based on excellent reviews, both professional and personal...

You can use either an S-Video cable or composite RCA video cable from the "Monitor Out" to one of the inputs on the back of your TV. Then, using either your TV's remote or the RR-969 (if you've programmed it to control your TV) you'd select the corresponding Video input that you've selected...
I've got a pair of Premier J-60 Speaker Stands that I'd like to sell, preferably to someone in the D.C. Metro area due to the shipping weight. However if someone would like to have them shipped then I can offer to split the actual shipping charges. Retail for the J-60 is $200 per pair and I'm...
I always thought the lyrics to "I Can't Put My Finger On It" by The Housemartins were just a tad stupid:
As Martin said to Xanthe
As they played with wooden toys.
"You may have Wendy's playhouse,
But where the hell's your boy?"
As Paul said to Fifi
As they eyed each other up,
You...
I also use the rubber door stop method, along with a couple of rubber furniture cups to separate the center speaker from the TV cabinet.
However, if you want to get fancy (and likely spend quite a bit more than $3.00) then I just stumbled upon this while looking for audio racks...
Well I'd like to thank folks like Mark and others in the past that have posted less-than-flattering opinions of Paradigm and/or posts that tout some other speakers as being
a "Paradigm killer". It just seems to reinforce my opinion that I've got great sounding speakers.
Their opinion...
Hmmm...the dominance of metal, the emergence of rap...when "alternative" actually was...
In the 80's I was into (at one time or another) everything from pop to hard rock to metal to rap to college rock so this could end up being an interesting list:
The Replacements - Tim
Husker Du - New...
I concur with most of these posts as far as what defined 90's music...
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual Only 3 albums and they're still one of my favorite bands. Stephen Perkins = my favorite drummer. Dave Navarro ain't half bad either ;)
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger I actually...
If you lived in Seattle in 1992 you could have caught Stillwater opening up for Citizen Dick (another Cameron Crowe creation). Maybe it was their reunion tour :)
I was watching Singles the other night and noticed as Cliff was posting flyers for one of their gigs that one of the opening bands...
Here's hoping I don't go the same route in HT that I took in car audio. I've only had my '99 BMW M3 for 2 years and I've already gone through 3 head units, 5 component sets, 5 subwoofers and 4 amplifiers.
I'm currently running a Kenwood head unit, Rainbow separates, Precision Power...
Jeremy,
I just bought a Sanus EFAB-5mkII rack from Audio Advisor . It's $329 and for $25 more I purchased a set of the 12" extended pillars that increase the shelf height from 8" to 12" for those extra large components such as an amp or a Denon 5800.
While I haven't assembled it yet, I...
I'd also like to recommend OneCall.com and ditto everything Andrew just posted (called Monday, shipped Wednesday, received email, etc).
One footnote - the only reason it shipped Wednesday rather than on Monday when I called is because OneCall just got a shipment of the black units on Wednesday...
From the Toshiba website (specs and MSRP):
SD-5700
SD-4700
A local B&M Toshiba dealer has them both on their site for < $300 (assuming they're taking orders for them now).

Thanks, Phil. I had a feeling you were going to say Leesburg :) That's exactly what I was hoping to find out (size, price, etc).

Phil,
Since you're in Sterling and I'm in Fairfax (until next month at which time I'll be in Ashburn), can you recommend a shop locally to pick up some lead shot and a particular density to get?
I'm not exactly the type who frequents gun shops so I'm a little out of the loop :)
Thanks...
Ted,
I think I can give you a little insight into pricing for a Paradigm/Rotel setup (sans a DVD player) since I bought a 5.1 system not too long ago. Here's the MSRP of the pieces along with the price I paid in parenthesis:
Paradigm Reference Studio 40v2 - $900 ($765)
Paradigm Reference...
Greetings all,
My new house is almost done being built and I've just found out that the speaker wire used for my surround sound pre-wire is 16/2.
I've got Paradigm Reference Studio 20v2 for my surround speakers running off a Rotel RMB-1075 (120wpc). The speaker wire lengths to the rear...
