My dad wants me to help him install whole-house audio. He's got a low-end receiver and doesn't have a huge budget so one of those multiroom controller boxes is out. I'd like to buy three simple pairs of wall speakers for the kitchen, upstairs hall and den. I presume that for each pair I...

THANKS for the thorough (yet concise) explanation on the balanced cables. I've always wondered.... I guess I'll try to get a pre-built cable of the appropriate length at Radioa Shack or a local A/V place. Thanks again!

Thanks for the into. Where is a good place to buy RG-6, Radio Shack? Shall I buy the do-it-yourself connectors and crimp them on myself? I never had good luck in the past doing that with RF connectors for CATV... Also, I've heard some discuss "balanced" cables for long runs... what does that...

Hello, I need some advice on home theater cabling. My TV is located on the other side of a doorway from my stereo equipment, necessitating running of the cables into the floor and across the basement ceiling, etc. The total distance is about 22 feet. What kind of cabling should I use and...

Crazy Eddie in NJ has the Sony XBRs for significantly lower prices than anybody else. I'm thinking of driving there to buy (not interested in truck monkeys delivering my TV set). However, I'm a bit cautious about Crazy Eddie, given their checkered past. Has anyone has experience with the...

I'm considering the Sony KV-32XBR450 which I see crazyeddie.com has for the incredible price of $1527. I'd rather not buy a TV mail-order, however, fo obvious reasons. I live close to Delaware and am willing to drive there to save the sales tax. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has...

Wow, not a single response. Rather disappointing. Maybe everyone is on vacation.

Wow, I can't beleive I'm seeing this discussion yet again. What is it about Bose that causes people to be so vehemently one-sided? I'm no audiophile, so I can't say that my ears discern such subtle differences as to require me to spend $3000 on stereo speakers. But I CAN relate what sounds...

Jake_L, Did you figure out the difference between models TSL3293HF, 3294HF and 3295HF? The 95 seems to have PIP and is silver, while the 93 and 94 are black. Do they all have vertical compression (16:9 squeeze thing)? I can live without PIP, especially if it's really just picture-and-picture...

James Eftekari: "... I'm wondering if I should've held out a few months and taken the plunge into ATSC. There is already an HD-capable Samsung 32-inch direct-view set with an MSRP of $1,600--same as last year's Sony FV26! (And some close friends of mine have already upgraded to a Tosh...

Hello, Sorry if this is long-winded, I'm a new member trying to educate myself on the morass of feature combinations and permutations that are available on direct-view TV sets. My viewing area is small, so for budgetary reasons I'd like to stick with 27-32", would like at least 480p for...
