    Ever edited your own version of a movie?

    I only ask because I am currently cutting my own versions of Fellowship of the RIng and Two Towers, using the theatrical and extended DVDs as source material. Not for profit or to impress anyone, but purely for my own curiosity. I always had problems with the theatrical versions, but there are...

    Did I make the wrong choice? (HK vs. Denon)

    I recently got my new HK AVR-325, but here in the UK I paid £700 for it. For the same price, I could have got a Denon AVR-3803. I am certainly pleased with the HK, and to my ear it has a slightly warmer (more pleasing) sound, but the Denon just seems better VFM in retrospect! What do you...

    Is my HK 325 blown already? Inputting from laptop...

    I got my Harman Kardon 4550 set up on Friday night, and tried a few movie soundtracks on it as well as a CD or two. Sounded great. However, I've now got my PowerBook plugged into it via the Video Aux 4 input on the front, and I'm using iTunes to listen to music until I get my new iPod to play...

    Harman/Kardon AVR-4550 (325) vs. Denon AVR-3803

    I need to make a decision as to which of these two amlifiers to buy. My local A/V store has agreed to do either for £700 (that's £200 off the Denon, or £100 off the H/K, making the former a better deal). I've thoroughly tested them both with music and aggressive 5.1 soundtracks, and the results...

    Denon 2880 vs. HK 325

    I'm so close to buying the HK (although here in the UK it's known as the 4550) after demoing it the other day. Warm, clean and powerful. Plus, it looks dead sexy. I managed to get £50 knocked off RRP, bringing the price down to £650 (around $1070 - a lot, I know, but this is what HKs go for...

    PIONEER VSX-D912 vs. YAMAHA RXV740RDS

    I live in Britain and am wondering which of these two amps to go for: Pioneer VSX-D912 Silver Yamaha RXV740RDS Titanium Both of them can be had online for just under £400, which is my budget for a new amp at the moment. I have placed an order for the Pioneer, as it has 7.1 inputs, auto...

    Just thought I'd let you guys know that the official R1 USA version of Spider-Man is available through certain UK suppliers as you read this! Fullscreen only at the moment (bah!), but Widescreen versions will be available 'Very Soon'.

    Bi-wiring queries...and speaker stands!

    Hey everyone! Long-time reader, first-time poster here. I have a couple of questions, the first regarding bi-wiring: Recently I bought a new pair of main speakers for my surround setup (made by Mission - a UK brand that some of you may be familiar with). Unlike my old Missions, these new ones...
