I'm kicking around the idea of new speakers, and here's what I'm considering: These are almost exclusively for home theater usage, with only occasional music. I don't need a sub because I have an SVS 20-39. I have a Marantz SR-4001 receiver that I'm planning on keeping for awhile - eventually...

Will now sell these; however, I'm still looking to trade for HD DVDs as well. Babel (HD DVD) $20 shipped SOLD! Firefly (complete series) (SD) - $16 shipped MASH (TV series) Seasons 1-4 (SD) - $16 each shipped/$45 shipped for all 4

I know these questions have been asked, but I'm trying to get all the answers in one place. I'm considering a BD player (either the Samsung or the BDP-S1. Bear with me, because I don't know all the proper terminology. I currently have a Toshiba HD-A1 hooked up via 5.1 analog to my Pioneer...

Will now ship this for $275, CONUS. I have a perfect-condition Pioneer VSX-1014TX 7.1 receiver for sale. Bought about 2 years ago. Like new. $250 for local pickup in Capital District of New York.

I bought a new TV at Best Buy for $1900. As I was considering it, the salesperson, who was surprisingly good and knowledgeable, told me the set (JVC 56FN97) came with a stand. I knew the lower-level JVC comes with a stand, but I didn't think the one I was buying did. I told him I didn't think...

I'll be picking up a JVC 56FN97 HD-ILA TV tomorrow, and my only concern right now is the placement of my center channel speaker. I have a relatively heavy Energy Veritas 2.0 (not the 2.0c actual center speaker) that weighs about 22 lbs. I think the speaker is too big for the stand that comes...

I started a thread on this elsewhere, but I think it's better placed here. I'm running my HD-A1 to a 3-yr-old Mitsubishi CRT RPTV via HDMI-to-DVI cable. When I use this connection the left side of the image is cut off (E.g., when I go to the setup menu for audio, the first two letters of the...

Time is of the essence on this one. I ordered a Samsung DLP for general use (TV, HDTV, SD-DVD), but mainly for HD DVD. The set has a maximum resolution of 720p. Is this a smart move? The price was unbeatable, and a 1080p set is out of my price range right now. I am currently using a...

This problem has probably existed since I bought the TV, but I didn't really notice it until lately. I have a CRT rear projection Mitsubishi WS-48313. The picture is pushed way over to the left so that when there is a graphic or words on the left side they're cut off (example: in Cars, when...

I'm doing the unthinkable and trying to find a less expensive LCD as a bedroom set. Probably more tv than movies, but a fair amount of both. How's this look, or if anyone has experience, what do you think? http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...seBVCookie=Yes The specs look good to me, but...

Any speculation when to expect the final season? I got into this show late, so I don't know what the release schedule was for the first four seasons.

LOCAL PICKUP ONLY Anyone interested in a 48" Mitsubishi widescreen HDTV-ready CRT rear projection TV? It's 2 years old, bought from Best Buy. Great set for a smaller room. I don't have the protective screen, but the picture looks much better without it. Let's try $800. I also still have...

I have for sale a Sanus 6-shelf AV rack in cherry with glass shelves. It looks like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-CyhB0Gk...&display=L#Tab FOR PICKUP in Queensbury, New York , or I can deliver within a reasonable distance. $200 Also, I have a digital camera, Olympus C-740. Hardly...

I have a Denon 1803, Energy Veritas 2.1 speakers all around, and a JVC DVD player (can't remember the model). Sometimes when I listen to music (2-channel), the sound from the right front is very faint. Usually, I stop the CD and restart it and the problem is solved. Sometimes I have to repeat...

**Local pickup, or I can deliver in the greater Capital District of NY** I have 3 Norh ceramic 4.0s that I used as my front 3 and 2 teak Prism 3.0s that I used as surrounds. These are excellent for a smaller room. Specs and info here: http://www.norh.com/products/prism/index.html and...

I just saw this player at Best Buy for $150. Is there any word on the pic/sound quality, BM, etc.? It has SACD, DVD-A, and it looks like it might be a replacement for the 563. Also, I want to get into SACD; is there a simple primer anywhere to get me started? Thanks.

I listen to mainly HT. My choices for mains are used B&W 602s3 (about $400 or so + shipping), new B&W 601s3 ($400 + tax), Totem Acoustic Dreamcatcher ($452 + tax for the finish I want, $405 for a finish I can deal with). The positives of going with the 601s or Totems is cool local dealers, new...

Apologies if this has been discussed. I don't know if it's a chain-wide thing, but the FYE in my local mall (Queensbury, NY) is offering rebates on many new releases. School of Rock is $19.99 with a $10 rebate. Schindler's List is $22.99 also with a $10 rebate, and there are several others.

Hopefully my descriptions will be accurate. I've found that on the left side of my screen, when trying to converge blue, the white lines of the 64-point convergence grid are blue on both sides. I can't converge left or right because the blue shows in all directions. Also, text looks a...

Well after 1 week and not a whole lot of use, it looks like my 47wx53 has popped--smal snap and everything is blue tinted. Oddly though, the menu looks o.k., but the movie (Temple of Doom) is definitely blue (and definitely blew). Anyway, the question is do I have this set fixed, get a new one...

I ordered a PT-47wx53 from Circuit City because I could't come close to their price anywhere else. After a so-so sales experience, I bought it anyway. Now they're jerking me around on when it'll be available. For the same price ($1,200), should I get a Sammy HCN473W or for $100 more a RCA...

I got an email from buy.com for their 48-hour sale that said if you buy anything from the sale you get Matrix Reloaded DVD free, but the link in the email doesn't work. Did anyone else get this, and did it work?

I'm thinking of picking up this laptop: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...=S167-3150%20P Any comments on Vaio laptops or Tiger Direct? I can't get an Apple, so it's this or a Dell 2.6 GHz, 15" XGA, 30 GB HD, 512 MB RAM, 32 MB Video RAM for the same price. I'm starting law school...

This is no longer for sale.

I have a Pioneer turntable I bought at a yard sale. It works well for my purposes, but I have a question. On the front of the unit is a plastic window with four red lights in it. What is this for?

I hate to post a question like this, but I'm looking for a budget receiver ($350-$450). I really like the H/K AVR 125, and I know they're well liked aroud here. But are they good for 95% HT, or are they mainly liked for music listening? Are they on par with Denon for HT performance? Also, I'm...

I use plain 12 ga. copper speaker wire from Home Depot, with Rat Shack bananas on one end and spades on the other. If I remember correctly, these wires were shiny copper color when I bought them. Now they seem to be dark gray, almost black, along the entire run of the wire (about 8 ft.). What...

In Jurassic Park, they show a close-up of Nedry's monitor, and there's a black-and-white photo of a man (from the 50s?) with a pipe. He looks like a scientist or possibly a writer? The photo is shown purposely, but I never found out who it is. Anyone know?
