I'm interested in buying a pair of Studio Monitors or Power Monitors. I need something on hte small side that I can transport easily. I'd like anything in good condition, preferably not too heavily used. Anyone thinking of upgrading, here's your chance? Price: anything less than $550-600. Thank you.

I'm trying to find a new set of L/R speakers that are small so that when I go to college they'll fit in my dorm room. I currently have a Procenter100 and two Procinema80's at the back and A/D/S towers up front with a Velodyne CT120 sub all being powered by an Onkyo 797. Trying to keep price in...

I'm planning on either buying a seprate amp or a DVD-A player, but I cannot decide which, and the budget won't allow both. My current receiver is an Onkyo 797 and I am running it with A/D/S tower speakers up front(4ohm) and Definitive Procenter and Procinema surrounds with a Velodyne CT-120 sub...

I'm looking into adding a seprate stereo amp and I'm considering Anthem and Rotel. Would the Anthem be a better amp than the Rotel? The Rotel has less power, but it's internal components seem equal or higher than the Anthem's. I am concerned with 4ohm capability, my fronts are 4ohm, A/D/S...

In my search for an amp, I've noticed that many companies list their products' slew rates. I believe the slew rate is listed in volts/microsecond(please correct me if I'm wrong). Does anyone know if this is at all related to anything that would affect sonic performance? I noticed that Parasounds...

I'm thinking about buying a used Anthem MCA amp, but what is the difference between the series I and series II? I've noticed that the price difference is quite large on the used market. The power ratings seem to be the same between I and II, so if anyone can point out the differences it'd be...

I'm interested in hooking up an Anthem MCA amp to my HT for some extra juice. I just don't know how to get my hands on one. The selection at audiogon seems very limited and that will be a last resort. Does anyone know if Anthem products can be accquired online with warranty preferably? Oh, by...

On paper they appear the same. I love the fact that they have Burr-Brown DAC's and DCDi. The thing that bothers me is, what are the differences? Onecall has the 6480 on sale for $539(MSRP is $599). Are they like the difference between the Yamaha HTR and RX-V receiver line? these players look...

I'm thinking of purchasing a DVD player from onecall and these are the two candidates. I don't really care for the silver finish of the 5700 since ALL my other equipment is grey. The only difference(besides color) seems to be that the 5700 plays HDCDs, is HDCD that good? Also, is it true that...

I'm nervous abotu buying a Pronto. Can some of you give me support here and tell me that I am making the right decision? My receiver is an Onkyo 797, and this remote is 30% of the cost of the Onkyo. That's so much, but it seems cool. Really, though, as I have stated in my earlier posts, I am...

Due to the suggestions of the other HTFers I've decided to step up to the Protno TSU2000. There is only one thing I want to know, since I will be paying about $300 for it, how reliable is it? I have read several reviews of the TSU2000 with enraged owners saying their remotes kept rebooting or...

I'm looking for a great user friendly remote for about $200 as a nice little upgrade to my system. My main two considerations are the Phillips ProntoNeo or the new Sony RM-AV3000. IMO the Sony looks nicer because it has a nicer screen, but then again, I haven't seen a really nice photo of the...

I was just browsing around for a DVD player when I came across the Integra DPS-7.2. This player incorporates DVD-A and is THX Ultra certified. Doesn't look like there is progressive or HDCD though. It has 54mhz/10bit Video DAC's and 192khz/24bit audio DAC's. Does anyone know HOT MUCH it is...

I need something to power my 4ohm A/D/S Tower speakers and I'm thinking of either of these amps to supplement my Onkyo 797. Anyone got suggestions? Also, anyone who owns either of these, do you leave it on all the time(besides you Dalton)?

Thinking about adding an external amp to my Onkyo 797. It has a 12V trigger, but it says zone 2 on it, so I am confused, do you all turn your seprate amps on manually, walking over to it and turning it on? I noticed the 2802 and 3802 do not have 12V triggers, how do you turn your amps on? I...

I own an Onkyo 797, and i want to add a seprate amp, but the 12V trigger my amp has says that it is for zone 2 use. Does this mean that I can only use the 12V trigger while my Zone 2 is on? If that is so, does that mean I have to turn my amp on and off everytime I want to listen to music or...

I own an Onkyo 797 which I love, but my front two tower speakers are 4ohms, and 2ch amps are reletively inexpensive, Parasound 1000A, Rotel 1070. Will it be okay, soundstage wise, for me to add an additional 2ch amp, or will my front soundstage sound awkward since the center would be running...

I could probably get a used Parasound 855A for less than or around $500, would it be a great jump in improvement over my current amp in my 797, especially in music. The 797 sounds great in music, but I used to be a stereo only guy, and would like a little more. I don't want to get a 2 ch amp...

I'm just curious about this. I know the Denon has 3802 SHARC 32 bit DSP processors and Analog Devices DAC's, but what company makes the 2802's DAC's and processors? I heard that the 797 has Crystal processors and AKM DAC's as were "trickled down" from the 989. Can anyone confrim the Onkyo...

I'm looking into buying a used multichannel amp, Parasound 1205A, 855A, or Rotel 1075, but I have heard many people saying that their amps often have blown fuses? How do these fuses get blown, and how often does this occur? Also, how reliable are these amps I have just mentioned, I am...

I am trying to decide between a powered on passive center channel from Defintive. My considerations are the: CLR2000, or CLR2300. The CLR2300 is $50 less and ahs an 8" powered woofer and two 4.5" midrange drivers. The CLR2000 has dual 6.5" drivers as its midrange/bass drivers, it is also...

My question is, how do I get a 96khz signal fed to my receiver? My DVD player says that if a 96khz source is played, then it will convert it to a 48khz sampling rate, I dont want that. Is that what the new DVD players now, that say 96khz or 192khz LPCM capability mean, that they will pass a...

I am trying to upgrade to either DVD-A/SACD, and I want something that is progressive scan. It doesn't have to hold me out for too long, maybe about 3 years, or until either DVD-A or SACD takes off over the other. I really don't want to spend over $400 though, any help would be great.

My 797 is THX select certified, but I want a little more power. Will an 855A(85x5) be better sounding and more powerful than my 797's 100wpc? If worse came to wrose I guess I woudl jsut have to save for a better amp, lile 1205A or Rotel 1075, both a little more than I want to spend. So will...

Is the picture quality in the 32FV27 significantly better than it would be in a 36FS13. I know the 36FS13 is $100 more, but it is for 25%more viewing area, but I heard that the Sony FV TV's and much better than the Sony FS TV's, or is that nonsense? I prefer the 36", but the 32FV27 has that 3D...

I am thinking of getting a 32" KV-32FV27 or 36" KV-36FV17/13. I have read so many Wega owners saying that their TV's have lines moving up and down or that they have colored blurrs in the corners of her TV's . These TV's weigh 176-223lbs so if I get an odd unit, I don't want to have to return...

I have an Onkyo 797, but I think it uses a very similar remote to the 898. If I change the batteries, does this mean that the remote will "forget" everything that I have programmed into it, or does it have some kind of one day memory storage, or am I just dreaming at this price point? I love...

I am interested in a Rotel 1066 or 1075 multi channel amp, and I want it used, btu I can't seem to find any on the net, can anyone help me. Also, how much should I pay for it, anyone know their MSRP's, I want to know what is a godo price for both of thsoe amps, thanks.

I just bought an Onkyo 797 which I really love, and it give me a lot of power, but can I use an extra two channel amp to power my front speakers? Will this throw off the balance of the sound? Won't the front L/R be louder than the others if I do this, or does it just work out? Or do I HAVE to...
