    Want to buy: Receiver with built-in DVD

    I need a receiver with built-in DVD player for use in my garage. I've got two speakers and a sub to go with it; I don't care about surround sound. Michigan.

    Energy C-5 Connoisseurs (Michigan)

    Just saw your edit. Muzzle laoders don't interest me. Home defense twelve gauge maybe? Any handguns?

    Energy C-5 Connoisseurs (Michigan)

    Findlay is pretty far. Bowling Green, maybe? I'm willing to consider whatever firearms you have, but unfortunately out of state transfers have to go through an FFL in my state. So you'd have to ship to my dealer. What do you have?

    Energy C-5 Connoisseurs (Michigan)

    I've got a pair of Energy C-5 Connoisseur floor-standing speakers. Color is black. I need to raise money for a computer upgrade, so they are for sale. These speakers are about a year and a half old, and in excellent condition. They are Canadian made, not made in China as I understand the...

    Funny thing happened!

    I've had a similar thought while camping in a remote area. The wildlife (birds and bugs mostly) around my tent at night made me think "this is just like surround sound, but with no plot". Also, the forklift that goes by my office door make me think of my subwoofer.

    Speaker Stands for Floor Speakers?

    Pall D, PM me you email address and I'll send you a picture. Sorry, I'm not interested in making any for profit. There was a fair amount of work involved. I'll be happy to tell you what I did, though. If you do a search here or on Google for "flexy rack", you'll get the general idea.

    Speaker Stands for Floor Speakers?

    I made "flexy rack" type stands for my 36" Energy C5s. The speakers are elavated about 7", to get the tweeters at my ear level when I'm seated. They look great, too. I originally had them too high; the higher woofer was close to ear level. I found them physically uncomfortable to listen to at...

    The origin of two pistol shooting

    The Colt model 1877 was double-action. The Colt Lightning, another double-action revolver, was introduced in 1889. Smith and Wesson's Double Action First Model was introduced in 1881. There may have been earlier double-action revolvers. Not that it matters much. You certainly CAN cock a...

    I'm stumped....

    Jay, just to reinforce what Jeff Gatie said about 'full" being the correct viewing mode on Toshibas: He's dead right, as far as my Toshiba 50hdx82 is concerned. The manual for my set is flat-out wrong on this matter; as it says to use the "natural" mode. Ignore the manual; use "full" for...

    Energy Connoisseurs with 5.2 system?

    I did this exact thing a few weeks ago. I had the Energy Take 5.2 system (four 2.2 satellites and the 1.2 center) and the 8.2 sub. I'm using a Yamaha HTR-5540 receiver with a fixed 90hz x-over. The room is about 12' X 14', with one partially open wall and a cathedral ceiling. I bought two...

    Salem's Lot Movie

    I was but a teenager when it was first on television, but for many years, it was the scariest thing I'd ever seen. I'd like to see it again.

    What classic cartoon or childrens shows would you like to see released on DVD?

    I agree with Jody L: it has to be the ORIGINAL Johnny Quest series.

    isf calibration

    For what its worth, I can't stand watching movies on my set when the brightness is correct per Avia. I always have to turn it up several notches. Otherwise, I lose the ability to distinguish between differnt "shades" of black. If I adjust brightness as Avia recommends, a man in a black suit...

    Thanks, Graham. I wish I had an old VCR. I dumped two in the trash last year. Durn.

    Audio problem when switching sources- need advice

    Its your receiver, I think. Sorry. I have the same problem with a Pioneer 711. The problem occurs when the receiver switches from a digital to an analog source. That's why you get the noise during the menu on Matrix; DVD menus are often in analog sound, while the movie itself is digital...
