Just purchased some new equipment and it seems the instructions are saying to make more than one type of connectiion. For instance if you use an optical connection you should also use a composite audio connection. If using HDMI then use analog component with it. I know my receiver will always...

When I set up my 5.1 speaker system, when I was remodeling, I also placed additional speaker wires in case I ever wanted side speakers for a 7.1 system. I am in the process of replacing my 5.1 AV with a new 7.1 Pioneer Elite so the question is again is it really worth going to 7 speakers. Would...

I understand how to bridge an amp but I am not sure exactly what the numbers means. My amp manual says 105 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 300 watts bridged at 8 ohms. What is that approximately at 4 ohms or does it mean that once bridged I can only drive a speaker at 8 ohms. I have a SVS...

I just purchased a new Pioneer Elite VSX82TXS 135 watts per channel. My old set up was a Nad Receiver but I used the Pre outs on it and I was connected to a Parasound HCH-855A 85 watt per channel amp. My question is would it still be better to use my parasound for my amplifier rather than the...

I am thinking of adding a 5 channel amplifier to my Nad Reciever and I just wanted to make sure it was worth the money. I understand having a separate amplifier eliminates any electrical distortion that the receiver has but is 100 watts from a hight end receiver different from 100 watts from an...

I seem to get the feeling people feel that the line doubler in the Mitsubishi is inferior to the Pioneer Elite. Since the Elite is out of my price range would adding an external doubler like the Iscan Pro be of any benefit? I am looking at the Diamond series Mitsubishi.

I'm thinking of buying a Nad 761 but it does not have Dolby Prologic. The dealer said unless you listen to alot of video tape you really don't neet it. Doesn't DPL and DPL II take ordinary tv broadcasts and coverts it into 5 channel sound? If so I would definitely want this feature.

After reading some post on using a separate amplifier for your speaker I have a few questions. I'm a novice in this. Most amplifiers I see are two channel. How do you use the amps on a 5 channel system? I do have a Hafler two channel Amp and thought of using it for my right and left front...

I know ideally all the speakers should be sonically matched and from the same manufactuer. My front three speakers are matched but how critical is it for the rears to be matched to the fronts. I just bought new right,left and center speakers for the front and would like to use my old speakers...

I just started looking at interconnect cables and was surprised at the cost. I know the ones that come with components should be replaced. I plan to buy a Denon 3802 and wanted suggestion as to an affordable interconnect cable that doesn't end up costing more than my receiver? Or is it even...

After reading alot of post on cables I'm still not sure that spending alot of moeny for cables makes a difference over Home Depot's wire. I have talked to two speaker companies than felt that high end wires did not make an audible diffence worth the extra money. My thought is to use mid to high...

I am building a Home theater system for my home. I would like to use a rear center channel. My surrounds will be inwall on the back wall. My problem is I will have a window in the center of that wall so that I don't have room for a rear center speaker. Has anyone tried one in the ceiling? My...
