    "storing" plasma tv during contruction question

    Hi, A friend just called figuring I'd know the answer to this - which I don't, but figured you all would. He's having contruction done and will be storing the 42" Sony flat screen to protect if from damage. He asked if it's better to store it vertically or horizontally. I assume these are...

    could my HK 320 be causing "ghosting" with its component switching?

    my HK 320 is just over a month old. before its arrival, the digital cable signal (Time Warner Cable - Scientific Atlanta box I believe) went from the box directly to the TV (Sony 42" rear projection) via RCA's. The DVD player used the TV's svideo in. Thanks to the receiver's component...

    PDR-10 Sub - should the LED light stay on?

    the Paradigm manual doesn't seem to address this, so thought I'd check and see if anyone who has one knows. the PDR-10 is supposed to have auto shut-off. when I turn off my amp, the amber LED on the front of the sub stays on. I didn't know if this light is supposed to indicate "power-on" or just...

    my Paradgim Titans vs. my Bose 201s

    with all the Bose posts, I thought I'd post my recent "real world" observations on my recently replaced 201s. I bought the Bose 201's about 5 years ago. I wanted a basic set of bookshelf speakers for a recently obtained "hand me down" receiver. I figured going with a "trusted name" in...

    mounting brackets & Paradigm Atoms

    hi. I'm looking to mount one of my Paradigm Atoms (surround) to the wall. So that it can mount on the back wall and aim toward the listener, I'll be mounting them at 90 degrees (also won't block the rear port). I know the Premier m-60's are the "official" mounting bracket for the...

    new Denon's - hard to find in-stock????

    Seems like many places in the NYC area don't have the newer Denon's in stock. 6ave says it won't be in for a few weeks. JandR says it is not in yet, etc. Some reference the CA dockworkers strive preventing shipments from coming in. Has anyone else found this? Anyone know places in NYC that...

    aiming surrounds at celing - anyone had luck with this?

    the Dolby page shows the alternative placement of surrounds putting them slightly behind the listener, aimed straight up at the ceiling (raised slightly off the ground). I did a search and saw it stated this can lead to nice dispersion. but my search didn't come across any posts saying...

    Denon 1802 or 2802 - just can't decide...

    been trying to decide on a receiver for my parent's home theater setup for weeks now. Finally decided on Denon, the 1802 for that matter. Then, like anything, the more I read the boards, etc., I started thinking "maybe the 2802 would be better?" 6 Ave. and JandR have the 1802 for around...

    hi all. am in the process of purchasing a receiver for my parents system (Sony KD-34xbr2 HDTV, Sony progressive scan dvd, polk 6600 speakers). I was close to set on the Denon 1802. I thought however, that they might find it tricky to switch the Video switch on the TV, and switch the receiver...

    considering the JBL PB10 sub to go along with JBL NPS1 package at JandR. As this is a floor firing sub and I live in an apartment with neighbors below, was wondering if this made any difference in terms of how it would disturb them (i.e. how loud I can put it without concern). does a front...
