It has been many moons since I seeked the advice of your forum faithful. The last time I had time to participate I was impressed with the candid and varied feedback I received. As a result I purchased what I would consider a fairly decent home theater set-up (Mitsubishi 55" HD TV, Onkyo TXDS797...

Anybody ever heard a pair of Technics SB-6000A linear phase 3-way speakers? I bought these babies in 1978. I paid what was then a chunk of change for these towers and they survived plenty of torture during my college days. If it weren't for the hole in one of the woofers they would still be...

If you aren't opposed to buying online from an authorized JBL internet dealer dynadirect.com has the JBL S38II (pair) for $339 the JBL S38 was a few bucks cheaper. I can't vouch for dynadirect at this time but I sure hope they are easy to work with if I have any problems as I just ordered 4...

And the winner is.....my wife. She decided she did not like the rosewood finish on the Diva's and pretty much eliminated the tower speakers as well. She liked the JBL's most of all and being in a weak position as her new furniture needs mount I decided to strike while the iron was hot so to...

Let me see if I understand the answer to this question.... If I get 4 ohm mains and 8 ohm rears and center channel, I should not have any problem with a receiver figuring out how many watts to supply each speaker...right? Mark

I listened to the JBL studio series line of speakers (albeit in Best Buys where the warehouse did them no justice). I visited the local higher end audio/video store today to find all of the mini's sold out. Of course they had plenty of speakers in the upper atmosphere in price. The...

Well I think I have made up my mind (as of this moment at least). The mini's front and rear with the CC370 and SVS 20-39PCi to handle the bass. I believe a Onkyo DS797 should match up fairly well with this setup. Throw in speaker stands and I have blown my budget of $2500, but life is...

Okay so I'm still an uninitiated audio enthusiast despite a few days of reading thread after thread about HT speakers. I don't want to embarass myself by listing my current equipment (suffice it to say it was the envy of my college buddies some 20+ years ago). I have narrowed down my receiver...

Thanks for info and warning on unauthorized dealers. The more I research the more options seem to appear. The Paradigm Mini Monitor fronts ($390), CC-370 ($329), Atom rears ($229), with an option on the sub was the set-up Audio Video Environments suggested with the Integra DTR-6.2 ($900). I...

Thanks for your feedback.. My budget seems to be getting smaller as closing costs and upgrades seem to growing like bambo. I initially established a $3,000 dollar budget for a receiver and speakers. It seems like I should be able to get a fairly good start on building a decent HT audio...

I am about 30 days from moving to a house we have been building for almost a year. I thought I had most of the tough decisions over with until I started researching HT audio components and set-up. I had my family room pre-wired for speakers and now I find myself with an undesirable (at least...
