    Well guys I finally took the plunge to go widescreen..I know I am a little late in the game, but my Hitachi 53SDX was doing a decent job at playing DVD's and HDTV signal...but she was getting a little dated with the LB 4:3 and all. Over the holiday weekend, I was at "FRY's" and found a brand...

    Another "Oldies But Goodies" Receiver Thread...

    I believe these units were available in early 2000 (2001 Maybe)..I got mine in 2002 and paired it with a parasound 855a (5 Channel amp) and no issues whatsoever...It switches fine, no delayed voices and works great for DVD-A using direct outputs. Happy ES Owner here. Angelo

    Tempest Box Plans...PICS!!

    Graham- Thanks for the response. At this time we want to know the BEST place for the sub..either the bottom of the shelf or behind the TV. Aparently we have enough room for either space. Angelo

    What should I tell the builder to add????

    Demetrius- Thanks for the response..I just read the entire build-up of mr Scott Pope's theater and its pretty awesome...I don't think I'll go to that extreme unless my budget permits. This room will be mostly for Movies(50 %), Music (25 %), Games (25 %). I'll be using some gear that I...

    Can somone recommend some good budge coaxials?

    John- Just an FYI..the Kappa 6.5 coax wont fit the Malibu as a drop in..you will need a spacer to clear the window. The 4x6's would be a better bet. I would suggest some CDT Classics or even the CDT Slim Coaxs..they sound MUCH better than the Kappas IMO. Angelo
