I have a couple of questions. I have the chance to get one or the other of these two units...a big Pioneer Elite 1410HD 61" plasma or a nice Yamaha DLP projector (DXP-1100) with a 110" screen and would like the opinions of you HTF experts on which one you'd prefer and why. Secondly, I have...

I currently own the 49TX and was thinking about the 49TXi. I know it's due to be available very soon. I was wondering what the other 49TX owners plan to do. Are you going to upgrade your existing unit? Trade up for the new 49TXi? Stand pat? I'd like to know why you're making your choice. I also...

I'm a Boston Acoustics fan. I have the: VR 920 Center VR 950 Fronts PV 1000 Sub VRS Pro Surround Rears VR-MX Surrounds They sound great but I have a somewhat tin ear, methinks!

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to wait and just upgrade the whole darn thing early next year.

I currently am running a Voodoo 5500 AGP on a pentium II 400 and I wondered if upgrading to a GeForce 4 card (either the MX or the Ti4600) would be worth it on this old dinosaur. The card I have does everything fine as far as I can see. I am going to upgrade my ViewSonic P815 monitor with a...

Hi Francesca! I have the 49TX and the DV-47A.....great units! I also have the PRO-620 and the three are awesome to see in action! The tv you're getting was a bit too big for my family room but it looks just as good as mine...just bigger! Trust me, even though you have to wait a bit longer...

Hi Chu and Bill........thanks for responding! I've been seeing a lot of info at high end a/v stores about the Monster line conditioners (I think Monster is pushing the marketing hard for these units) and I do now have an older HTS1000 and wondered if the upgrade to a newer HTS5100 would be worth...

Anyone here know if the Monster Power Centers, like the 5100, 5000, 3600, 3500 etc., make a major improvement to your home theater system? They say that they make the picture quality better as well as make the audio much more clear and are better than surge protectors. Does anyone have one of...

Thanks for the awesome replies (and for the grammar lesson;) )! You gave me a fantastic list of movies I need to either rent or own. Some I haven't seen before.

Mine would be 1960's: The Valley of Gwangi/Sound of Music (a tie...sheesh what a contrast!) 1970's: Jaws 1980's: The Empire Stikes back 1990's: Jurassic Park 2000's: Gladiator What's your list?

I think Alien is a great movie, an intellectual Sci-Fi flick. Aliens is more entertaining in an action sense. You can compare 2001 more closely to Alien than you can Aliens but they aren't that similar, all great movies, though! When I think of great Sci-Fi I think of Day the Earth Stood Still...

Anyone else into the Harryhausen classics? I picked up 'First Men In the Moon' which was released today on dvd. The three Sinbad movies are out as well as 'Jason and the Argonauts'. I wonder if 'The Valley of Gwangi' and 'Mysterious Island' might be on the horizon. Anyone know if more of his...

There's no question that the 5803/9000 combo will be awesome. I doubt very much you'd be able to buy these units together for less than $5000 street. Unless you really want the best of the best you'd be better off going with an Elite 49TX and a DV-47A for roughly $3700. Think of what you could...

Thanks for the link, David. I'm checking that out right now.

Thanks, Elbert...there are so many choices in the dvd market and quite a few new models coming out. I think I'll hang onto the DV-09 and test some of the newer ones out.

Hi. This is my first post! I recently bought a Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX receiver and a HD-620 rptv. I have an older Elite dvd player, the DV-09. I'd like to upgrade this unit with a newer dvd player. I'm leaning toward the DV-47A but I'd like some opinions of what you think I should get to match...
