    Klipsch vs. B & W vs. Monitor

    Just pulling your leg, Peter. And you're right, the most important quality of a speaker, moreso than anyone's opinion, is how they sound to your ears. Particularly so since I doubt that any pair of ears hear the same sound in the same way as someone else's. The "Klipsch make my ears bleed"...

    Need opions on RPTV size

    Steve - It looks like th '02-03 Mitsu tabletop model is a 42" and last year's is a 46". The 46" could be a compromise solution but I'm not sure how much trouble I'd have finding one to look at. If I get a chance I'll call around on Mon. Then again, who knows, maybe a 60" plasma will float...

    Need opions on RPTV size

    Thanks for all the replies. Well, after doing some more reading, visiting the local Sears, and taking your folks' comments into account, I'd convinced myself the 50" would be the way to go. However.... I started looking at the stairway it had to go up and then began wondering if it'd fit...

    Need opions on RPTV size

    62 views and one relevant reply? C'mon people, do a guy a small favor. It's not like I'm asking about special relativity here. ;) [Edit: of course as soon as I type this, Gordon replies... Good points about the white standing out, Gordon. Unfortunately there are no other locations for the...

    Need opions on RPTV size

    Thanks Steve. I agree somewhat, I'm just really afraid a 50" will be overpowering. Flippin' verizon.... Here are working (hopefully) links to the relevant pictures: 43-in. 50-in. Entctr.

    Need opions on RPTV size

    Hi folks - I'm thinking of buying an RPTV and am having a little trouble deciding on the appropriate size. I pasted together a couple pics showing a 43" and 50" 'screen' mounted on my existing entertainment center (which will be replaced). The screen sizes and mounting heights are pretty...

    Another seperates vs reciever on a budget ?

    John - I've really just started looking around for upgrades so I don't really have any specific pre/pros in mind at this point. As far as amps, I have two Acurus A100X3s (100W/3 ch.). These are discontinued models that I picked up new on ubid for less than a $1000 for both. They're very good...

    Another seperates vs reciever on a budget ?

    I have an AVC-1800 which I bought to replace a Denon 2801 which I was using as a pre/pro. Sonically, the Parasound is so superior to the Denon there's no point in comparing the two. The 1800's biggest strength is two-channel audio where it is very transparent. I listen to music much more than...

    Best Cheap Two Channel Amplifier?

    You can get the Audiosource Amp Two (80W/channel @ 8ohms) for less than $300. I know nothing about it other than it's received pretty favorable reviews at AudioReview If you do a search, there are plenty of places to buy. AbtElectronics has an Onkyo M282 (105W/channel @ 8ohms)...

    Speaker recommendations

    I think the general consensus is, yes, match your speakers if you can as you would want all the speakers in your system to have the same tonal qualities. However, it's also the case that your ears are the best judge. If you have surrounds that are very bright compared to your mains, but they...

    Denon 2802 making spitting noises?

    My 2801 has that problem when playing CDs from either a Sony ES player or my Panasonic DVD (I haven't noticed it in DD or DTS). I had the Denon powering the fronts by itself. I had the Denon's preouts connected to an old(ish) Adcom amplifier. It "spits up" in both instances. If I run the...
