    Looking for a 2nd HT system - for about $600. Any recommendations?

    If you need a modrately priced receiver take a look at Sherwood AD7106, its 216$ at frys. checkout Specs at www.sherwoodUSA.com. I compared Sherwood & Kenwood side by side in my own room ( thanks Fry's) and Sherwood beat Kenwood hands down in Audio quality. Just my 2 cents

    Theater in a box...Help me decide

    Couple of things 1) Home theater in a box will *NOT* give you great audio, so if you want to use it to listen audio cd's think again. 2) Everyone has its own listing choices, try to get an in house demo before deciding Kenwood or any other brand. Hope this helps Nitin

    Help choosing between the PAN SAHE70K and the JVC RX6020VBK reciever!

    For sound, checkout Sherwood models AD7106/AD6108/AD7108. I have AD7106 and it sounds awesome. You get far more than you pay for. HTH

    System doesn't sound very good with music.

    Mark I am in same boat as you, Try this From your DVD player, take the L&R audio out to CD input ( NOT Audio jack for video input) it helped me a little. If you have AVIA try calibration also.

    Receiver & Speakers < $550 ?

    I have a Sherwood AD7106 = 216$ from frys & KLH HT9900 Speakers 99$ from Amazon.com. I tried Kenwood 505 and JBL NSP1, at least for my ears Sherwood, KLH was far superior to Kenwood/JBL for audio music. BTW I saw JBL NSP1 open box @200$ and new 275$ at Best Buys.
