    Toshiba, Samsung, Sony Overall Quality??

    Thanks for the reply & thoughts Larry... One of my friends mention the same thing yesterday. Buy the Akai, but with a 3 year warranty and it's still cheaper than the Toshiba and still way below the Sonys. Any other thoughts or advice out there on a lazy summer Sunday? I'll check back this...

    Toshiba, Samsung, Sony Overall Quality??

    I am currently looking at several 27" flat TV's for my new apt. (I just separated from my wife). I was tempted to go with the Samsung clone (the Akai CFT2790), cause of what I have read here, but several people have tried to steer me away due to reliability concerns w/Samsung. The general...

    Toshiba 27AF61 vs. Panasonic CT-27SX32

    FFI for what it's worth; Toshiba's in almost all reviews I have read usually top out Panasonic's when it comes to picture quality.

    Rat-S. Gold Series A/V Cable OK for Sub?

    I just purchased a JBL PB10 sub this week to be connected to my DD Yamaha Receiver via the LFE. Is a basic (Gold Series) A/V RCA cable OK for this connection, vs. buying (for example), a Monstor Cable Bass Sub-Cable supposedly made for Subs? My connection may be as short as 6ft. or as long as...

    What does Reference Level Mean?

    Thanks for the link John... Now I understand but I'll tell you 105db will blow you away so I'm still a little confused why that is called reference level. Tom

    What does Reference Level Mean?

    I'm new here & I've read several times about reference output levels being at 105db. What does reference level mean? I was guessing maybe it's the std. volume for Dolby Digital, but that seems too loud to me. Thanks for any responses... Tom T.

    Subwoofer to buy?

    Hi Tom, How would you rate the refurbished JBL-D112 to the PB10 or 12. Is the D112 an older model? I checked the JBL web-site & they do not mention the D112. It comes w/the same one-year warranty as the PB series according to the one-call web site. Thanks, Tom

    Do you use tone controls

    Use them a lot especially w/older Music CD's & of course the radio. Usually turn the bass up & the treble down to remove background hiss. Also, all speakers are not 100% accurate & adjusting the tone controls corrects them slightly.

    Is it OK to have down-firing sub on Carpet?

    thanks for the comments everyone. Seems if I go with the JBL, I need to get a slab or something similiar underneath the sub. Makes me kinda think I should go with the front firing Sony, even though I was leaning towards the JBL. Tough decision & I'm torn. Tom

    Which sub Sony or JBL?

    Jodie, Form what retailer/Vendor can you get them for the same price? I thought the Sony was available for a lower price especially online. Please advise & thanks. Tom
