    X-Men 2 extended edition DVD

    A friend of mine was saying that an extended edition was due to come out in the spring of '04. Has anyone heard about this, because when he told me he had no proof or source so I'm a little skeptical. I was going to buy the regular edition tomorrow, but not if there's an extended edition in the...

    Question about widescreen tv's

    Everytime I walk into an A/V section of a store, inevitably there's a DVD playing on a new widescreen tv. My question is how come some movies, even though they're playing on a widescreen tv, still have the black bars at the top, and some DVDs fill the whole screen with no black bars. Both...

    My PB 12 has gone crazy!

    I was upstairs eating when all of a sudden my house started rumbling with this awful noise. When I got into my room I found that my sub was firing and rattling for no reason. What's going on??

    DVD Technology War Brewing?

    Hi, This morning someone at work was babbling on and on about how Sony and Toshiba are about to get into a DVD war with each other. Apparently the technology is completely different from one another, and will change DVD as we currently know it. I wanted to pipe up and tell her to shut the hell...

    Plugging sub into AC outlet on receiver

    I'm wondering what would happen if I plugged my 250 watt JBL PB12 into my HK 320 receiver. There are 2 outlets on the back of it and one is an "unswitched 100W max" and the other is a "switched 50W max" outlet. Would I kill my receiver, kill the sub, start a fire, bring on the end of the world...

    Question about my HK 320

    When it's been on for about 20 minutes and is starting to heat up, it starts to make an annoying humming or buzzing sound. Does anyone know what it is and if it's possible to fix? I know there are already a zillion topics on the whole humming issue, but it would take forever to read and most of...

    JBL Cinema ProPack Series

    Specifically, I'm wondering about the receiver for this combo. If you look, the buttons are curiously placed in the same locations as any HK X20 receiver. Except that it's 100wpc. Does anyone have any experiences with this thing? It's not like I'm going to buy it or anything, I'm just totally...

    Importance of matching mains & center speakers?

    Is this important for sound quality (timbre matching, panning etc...) or more for preventing the speakers from being damaged? Or a little of both?

    Myth or Reality? HK receivers overpriced?

    The salesman at my local future shop told me that for my money, I would be MUCH better off with going with a Yamaha receiver like the 5540 which goes for like $600 rather than the HK320 which goes for more than $1200. Is he nuts or are HK's infact overpriced?

    Yamaha receivers

    How do the Yamaha receivers rate vs the HK receivers specifically the 320 and 520? The Yamahas I'm thinking about is the 5540 and 5550? Does anyone have these things? Are they new receivers, because I'm just starting to see them in stores now...

    Kenwood VR 510 to the curb

    I was less than enthralled with it, it's not user friendly, and the remote (although really nice) is far too complicated. I've got the HK 320 lined up now, I think that's a step in the right direction, don't the rest of you? ;)

    N24 speakers stands?

    Do these things exist? Or is it "wall mount or bust?"

    I'Art & Progressive Scan DVD

    My owner's manual for the JVC I-ART 27" says that a progressive scan DVD player will not work properly on the tv. Does that mean that it won't work at all, or that I just won't get the progressive scan benefits?

    Harman Kardon Receivers

    Hi everyone, I've got a golden opportunity to score some home theater stuff, and I was looking at some of the Harman Kardon receivers. I've heard nothing but good things about them, but I noticed that some have no more than 50W/channel and the AVR 520 is only 85W/channel. For such a high...
