    How much would a Yamaha RX-V890 sell for?

    I have a Yamaha RX-V890 that is sitting around collecting dust. I'm thinking of selling it. I have no idea how much it would even be worth. Ebay doesn't have any listed so I can't get any ideas there. I was thinking of putting it on Ebay or maybe posting an ad at work. It's in great condition...

    Budget DD Receivers - Pioneer or Kenwood?

    The Pioneer also doesn't have S-Video. The Kenwood does. I don't know if that makes a difference to you or your parents.

    what are the cons of using bare wire to connect speakers???

    Keeping cats off the speakers

    Until I got my new setup with smaller speakers and 31" stands, I had more trouble with my two year old than I did with the cat. My son liked to take off the speaker grills. When he decided that just taking off the grills was boring he started messing with the range dial. Then he decided to push...

    HTB-504 (VR-507) speaker level question

    You can adjust the sub the same way? When I'm running the tones it doesn't even sound like a fart coming out of the sub.

    HTB-504 (VR-507) speaker level question

    I just set up my Kenwood HTB-504 tonight. I tried to set the speaker levels by ear, but it's near impossible. I plan on getting a sound level meter from Radio Shack or Ebay. Can someone please explain the procedure to set the levels using the meter. Just for reference, the VR-507 volume goes...

    H/T for beginners...

    The Kenwood VR-507 has DPL2 and Circle Surround, along with DD5.1 and DTS. So what are you getting with the Onkyo that you aren't getting with the Kenwood?

    Kenwood HTB-504, Pioneer HTP-210, or Onkyo HT-S490?

    This is my very first post on this forum. I don't know much about HT, but have been lurking the forums for a couple days. My wife bought me a Pioneer HTP-210. I'd like to know if I would be better off keeping it or taking it back and getting a Kenwood HTB-504. The Pioneer is lacking S-Video...
