    Switching out a speaker in a sub

    I received a KLH 10in 120watt sub recently, and am not impressed. I understand that it's a discount brand, but could I take it apart and replace the individual speaker with another. I understand that there is a crossover to contend with. Do they have to match in some way? I have a decent...

    Please correct me if I'm wrong but was "you give me this to play with Hmmmm ok" meant to be condescending. I apologize that I do not have a multi-million dollar setup but it's what I could afford. If I wasn't clear in my question please clarify. If it's just because you were bragging than...

    Neo 6.1

    What is Neo 6.1, and is DTS ES only used with a 6.1 system? I am looking at the HK AVR-320 and I don't know if it has neo 6.1 or if it's needed. Also can it replicate a six channel for DTS (phantum). I have a 5.1 setup but want to get the best sound possible.

    Marantz 7200

    I've read some of the bad publicity about Marantz 7200 being way over rated. However it looks like a good unit and much more reasonably priced than Denon, or Onkyo for example. So should us non-professionals take warnings to heart or take advantage of the bad publicity's effect on the price...

    Progressive Scan with non-HDTV

    I really appreciate the feedback. So if JVC is lacking in the interlaced output (which i'm assuming is the only output non-HDTV can pick up) which are better suited. Please keep in mind that I was wanting to put it on my Sears card, so the inventory is limited.

    Progressive Scan with non-HDTV

    Does progressive-scan work with non-HDTV's? I am going to get a DVD player and am deciding whether or not to get a JVC XV-S62SL which has progressive scan or save some money and buy a cheaper non-progressive scan player. The TV is a 5-year old 27in Sharp. Thanks

    How about JVC receivers?

    I have been looking at all the recommended brands(denon,onkyo,yamaha,marantz,etc) and was starting to narrow it down when I received my crutchfield magazine. A few of the jvc's looked interesting. On paper looks good but, how about the sound and quality? Please help.

    I ask because I'm looking at two receivers, one has a Total Harmonic Distortion of .04 and the other .09. Should this be the deciding factor.
