    Pioneer VSX-D850S vs. D811S and speakers...

    I own the VSX-D811S and am very satisfied with it. Within the $300-400 price range you can’t find a better receiver. The major difference I see between the VSX-850S and VSX-D811S is 6.1 and some of the other single processing (The VSX-805S is already out of date without 6.1 decoding)...

    Why isn't NHT more popular?

    Personally I'm happy with the SuperZero's. However I would consider all of this before making a decision. And as you mentioned how your crossover is setup would make a big difference. Size of your room Mine is rather small. I also don't need a lot of power as I live in an apartment and my...

    Why isn't NHT more popular?

    Gerry: I also use the Zero's as surrounds and am quite happy with them so far. They do not have the same base responce the SuperTwo's have but they do have the same clear highs and mids. If you want another pair of SuperTwo's I'd suggest watching eBay. Onecall.com also has them for...

    Why isn't NHT more popular?

    The SuperTwo's are more then sufficient base wise. The down firing subs are great for music and even most movies. Because of some limitations with my room I have the SuperSub next to my sofa. I usually keep it low and for deep base only, unless I'm watching a movie then I'll turn it up for a...

    Why isn't NHT more popular?

    I have: Fronts: NHT SuperTwo's Center: NHT SuperCenter Surrounds: NHT SuperZero's Subwoofer: NHT SuperSub I'm still breaking them in and playing around with speaker placement, settings, etc., however I'm very happy with my new setup. Once I get a new digital camera cord (my friend seems...

    Why isn't NHT more popular?

    Thanks for the comments. My point for the post was more curiosity then complaining. I purchased a complete NHT setup a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with it. When I was researching the setup it become apparent that the NHT's were well liked by their owners but not very popular on a whole.

    What are your best reasons for owning and actively using a portable dvd player ?

    They are fun for travel. I rented one once when I flew to New York. Now I just use my Vaio Notebook, which works perfect when the batteries last.

    "Digital" cable box

    I got the diagram from Charter Communications last week. As I expected the diagram was for a box with a SPDIF output. I currently have a manager researching if she can locate me a box with a digital output and if it will even work in my area. For those of you with Charter Communications I...

    Why isn't NHT more popular?

    I was curious as to why NHT isn't more popular around here? Is NHT more of a specialized sound? I've heard some people say they don't care for the "crisp" sound most NHT products produce. Or is it that you can buy other brands for less that have similar quality levels? As always, thanks for...

    My new system. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    The receiver showed up this morning. Somehow my apartment number was not printed on the label so delivery was delayed. The system rocks. Very clear sound with more then enough bass and I don't even have my sub yet (should be here by the end of the week). Sweet system!

    "Digital" cable box

    This thread was pretty interesting. I've been aware of the true capabilities of my current digital cable, however I never considered harassing my cable company about it. After reading this I contact Charter Communications regarding setting up my box to receive Dolby Digital signals. This morning...

    My new system. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    The Pioneer has a 6.1 channel preamp output. I orderd it this morning for $299.99 from savinglots.com (I could find it cheaper but after shipping it was actually a better deal then some of the others I found). I can't wait to get it set up!

    My new system. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    I ordered my speakers today from OneCall. They are being shipped out freight and should be here sometime Thursday or Friday. Here's what I got: - NHT SuperTwo's - NHT SuperCenter - NHT SuperZero's I debated a lot between the SuperOne's and SuperZero's. The size and price of the...

    My new system. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Right now I'm leaning towards the Pioneer VSX-D811S receiver. It simply offers the most bang for the buck. However I am considering the Marantz SR5200, Outlaw Audio 1050, and Onkyo TX-SR600 models. I would consider Harman Kardon however I saw a few at Circuit City and I did not care for the...

    My new system. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Thanks. Any recommendations on subwoofers priced under $300 that would match well with the NHT's? Should I consider the SuperZero's opposed to the SuperOne's as surrounds. The only reason I bring this up is because the size of my room. Thanks!

    My new system. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    I'm shopping for a home theater system for my apartment. I recently sold my Pro-Logic system when I moved and have been without a system for almost 4 months! I'm having a little trouble making a decision so I'm hoping for some insight to give me some ideas and perspective. I'm hopping to order...

    Yamaha Home Theater in a Box

    Hello! I'm new around here and am hoping to get some advice on a home theater system for my apartment. Recently I moved out of my huge dorm and sold my large speakers and outdated Pro-Logic system. I'm now shopping for a system for my new pad and would like to spend somewhere around $800-1500...
