    FS: SVS 25-31PCi

    I have a 25-31 PCi that is really the 22-31. The reason for selling is that the sub gets in the way of the screen I will be putting up. The unit is 1.5 yrs old and has seen moderate use. On average we watch 4-6 movies per month during the winter (Nov- Apr.) and probably 2 or 3 a month during the...

    Lock on "FULL" mode

    What exactly is this?? I recently got a DV45a and the 2.35:1 movies got larger than they were previously on a Denon 1000. I have a Mits 55511. I set the 45a up for a16x9 tv and the picture got larger than we previously saw, but if I set the player for a 4:3 screen I see the same image as before...

    Smaller black bars!!

    Hey there, I have a Mits WS-55511 and finally got a prog. scan DVD (Pioneer DV45a). I set it all up and everything and love the picture, much better than my previous Denon DVD1000!! One question though... all of a sudden all my 2:35 movies take up more of the screen!! I now only have the 2"...

    Should I really wait for the Phillips 963??

    I'm looking for a nice prog scan DVD player and am currently looking at the Denon 1600. I want nice audio along with no "chroma bug". Either one of the 5 channel music formats will do as I'm sure at some point I'll want both. I also like the feature in the 963 that upsamples CD's as then I...

    "source direct"

    I'll have a Marantz SR7200 in the near future and I'm wondering if I can use the source direct mode going coax digi into the unit to use it's DAC as opposed to my DVD's?? Does source direct only work w/ analog in?? I plan to get a DAC unit soon. SC

    RP82 or NS755V

    Anyone compared these two products? I've heard that the chroma bug is not very noticable on the new sony. Which will give best audio (2-multi channel). Was leaning towards the RP82, but was told the 2 channel from it is terrible. SC

    Niles in wall speakers

    Neighbor wants to put something together and they must be in wall speakers. I've heard good things about Niles, but he has a budget of around $2K and that might be a stretch. He needs everything, but the DVD player and TV. I'm possibly selling him my Denon AVR1802. He has heard Boston Acoustics...

    Transparent (neutral) amps

    I'm looking to be powering a Diva 6.1,4.1,c3 setup in a couple months so I want to go listen to some amps. Don't have it yet, but I will more than likely be using a 3802 until I find an amp and then use the preouts until I find a used AVM-20. As the Diva's are nice and laid back, I don't want...

    Sunfire or Anthem Amps crap???

    I'm looking into getting either the Theater Grand III or Anthem AVM-20 and wondering about the respective amps??? THey seem to be rather cheap compared to others and I'm wondering why. I'm mainly 75-80% 2 channel, but the soon to be wife would kill me if we didn't have a killer HT system. I'll...

    Mit 48311 or Tosh 50HDX82 or H82

    I'm looking into these sets and hoping someone could give me some pros and cons about these sets. I know about the upconversion of the Tosh, but is the PQ of the Mit something to look into?? I heard Best Buy will be carrying the Mit soon. Is there any concerns I should have if buying a Mit...

    Fs: B&w 602 S3

    I have a Black Ash pair of 602S3 that I need to get rid of. The fiance' doesn't like the size of these. They were purchased new in mid-April from a local dealer. They are nearly broken in with probably less than 50 hours on them. the first 25 hours was pretty harsh, but they have opened up...

    Divas 6.1 sound like?????

    What do the Divas sound more like?? B&W 800 series, CDM series, 600S3's, or Studios?? Just thinking I might give them a try if they sounded more like B&W. Anyone?? Can you give sonic characteristics? I bought the 602S3 over the studio 20 as they had a much more forward midrange and the studio...

    Large vs. Small and Could I...... Rotel- RSP1066

    Lets say I get some full range towers for the front and sep sub for movies. I'm looking into the Rotel RSP-1066 and it seems to me that it has a crossover from 40Hz to ?? at 10dB steps. If I crossed it over at 40 for 2 channel CD w/ digi in, would this also be alright for DVD source?? I don't...

    Any advantages to using a 2 and 3 channel amp over a 5 channel?

    Looking into what to power my future system (DM604S3, LCR600S3, 602S3). Was thinking of getting the RMB-1075, but wondering if the 200W will kill the rears (don't think they would ever see peak wattage). I'll listen to 70% music 30% HT. Would like to have the RMB1095 for the fronts. Should I go...

    anyone else like the B&W 604 S3??

    I have recently been auditioning speakers for a new system. I'd have to say I have about a $3K budget set for the speakers (fronts, center, rear). I enjoy the sound of the B&W 604 S3 and wondering if anyone else likes them as well. Listened to SRV on them as well as Gov't Mule and some jazz...

    PLEASE HELP..NEWBIE Looking into Rotel, Marantz,etc..

    Sorry for my ignorance, but I need some help. The only few seperates in my price range are the Outlaw 950 combo and some Rotel products. Anyone have some idea what the RSP1066 will cost?? $2K?? Given the RSP-1066 and RMB-1075 I think I'd be more than happy. I'm also looking at the Marantz combo...

    System calibration.. Low freq. Xover

    I've been reading all about this Rotewl and all the features and think I might want to look more into it. Anyway, when setting up your system, if the processor allows, how do you setup the xover. I'm thinking that if I buy the B&W DM-604S3 I like the bass resonse, but need that fat bottom...

    What pre/pro>amp should I be looking at

    I'm looking into buying a new system and have the B&W DM-604S3, DM-602S3, LCR600S3 in mind. After many listens to others I find these meet a) my budget and b)2 channel needs. I'm looking at the Marantz AV9000/MM9000 combo (hate the visable front RCA input's), Outlaw 950 (when it arrives)...
