I've decided to get a basic, 2 channel system for my bedroom just to listen to CDs and radio. I know there are a lot of mini systems out there that are cheap and that look nice, but do any of them sound decent? I don't want to spend over $450 really. Any advice on minisystems? Or do you think...

Awesome. I was afraid there wasn't going to be a second season because I had heard no mention about it from anybody. I agree, The Wire was an awesome show- I would say I liked it better than any season of the Sopranos

I won't do my top 10, but I want to mention some albums that I don't think have been mentioned enough yet: Massive Attack - Mezzanine I first got onto this album after hearing its songs in movies like Pi and Snatch. I'm am eagerly waiting for Massive Attack next album to come out in a couple...

The only rap I listed to for a long time was Outkast. This is one of the few mainstream rap groups that actually put out thought provoking work (ex. their single "The Whole World" addressed their feelings after Sept 11). Ive recently added Blackalicious to my rap collection. Their new album...

I thought the movie was excellent, equivalent to the masterpiece Saving Private Ryan. Some people might be turned off by the movie because its so unexpected- which is why it is so special. There is no Hollywood in this movie, it breaks the mold that most war movies use. The entire movie...

My opinion seems different than what most people think. The SVS sub could be overkill depending on if your in a house or apartment. I have a 20x14 room in an apartment with a HSU VTF-2 sub. This sub is smaller than any SVS, and I have the volume set at a 3 on a 10 scale. Any louder and the...

Thanks for all your help Vince

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is this: If just spending $5 to split the audio signal and send an RCA cable to the receiver will allow one to listen to good quality mp3s on home theater speakers, then what is advantage of using these USB-receiver connection devices like the Harman Kardon...

Yeah, I want to be able to get rid of the hissing sound. If I didn't care about sound quality, I wouldn't be hooking it up to my home theater speakers in the first place. From what I understand, most of the PC-stereo products haven't been released yet (Harmon Kardons is being released Jan...

I am trying to connect my computer to my receiver so that I may listen to my collection of mp3s through my home speakers. I haven't paid much attention to computer technology for the last year or so and I'm out of the loop on the new technology. Heres my situation. I will not be playing any...

I have a 36" Hitachi Ultravision TV that has the ability to be used as a computer monitor. I am trying to find a wireless keyboard and mouse so that I can use the computer from, say, my couch in the living room. The only problem is, most keyboards I see, like the Logitechs, only have a...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who hates their neighbors. The other thing that I wanted to bring up when I started this post is a warning to those people who are getting their first Home Theater system, advice that I wish I had known. Here it is: If you are living in a condo/apartment, or...

Im really at the point that Im not caring about my neighbors feelings. I was very understanding when they complained the first time. Them calling the cops on succesive days was a sign that they are not willing to compromise and will no complain even if they are actually not being "disturbed."...

I bought the apartment just recently, so I'm not going to be moving for a while. Next time, though, I will take neighbors and wall thickness into condsideration, or at least get a ground floor.

I knew there would be some people who have had the same problem I am having. I've contemplated inviting them up and showing them that I am not being unreasonably loud, but I'm in college and they seem to be in their later 20's and don't seem to be up to the notion. I think Im sort of being...

Well, Im not leasing the place, its a condo, and I bought it, so they probally can't get me in trouble. Also, I do think the police are on my side on this one. They told me that they have to come out if there is a complaint, but I will never get a citation on the first visit, just a warning...

I have a HSU VTF-2 in an apartment on a second floor. I didn't have people living below me till 2 weeks ago, and since then they have called the cops on me twice, and complained to me personally once. And this isn't late at night, its in the afternoon too. Both times the police came by, they...

A sales guy at Sears told me that it was pronounced Vega because its a german name, and the "W" in german makes a "V" sound. Don't know the true reason though

The 5200 is the one I am looking at. Could not decide between the 6.1 sound of Outlaw and DPLII of Onkyo, and this does both. Do any web vendors have them for sale yet?

From the specs I read, the 5200 is exactly what I need. However, I must have a receiver by Aug 20. Anybody know the latest of when they will be released? Also, are there any good online vendors of Marantz equipment? Thanks
