    headphone suggestion

    so i went to B&H in NY (down the street from work) and picked up a pair of grado SR60's. these things sound great...however like the reviews i've read online say, there is a good deal of sound leakage. enough to make me want to return them and get another pair with a closed design as i think...

    Any Klipsch Synergy Series users?

    i have SB2's as my front mains, C1 as my center, SS1's as my surrounds with a KSW12 as my sub. i have a small room, and it fills it very nicely. i'm a klispch fan myself and have no problem recommending them to anyone.

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    i HOPE its not the connection on the PS3's side. the only reason why i would think that was because the strange B&W and off-color image i got when i hooked the component cables up to it and i had to wiggle it to get it display properly. i havent touched it since, and its been fine in that...

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    so i jumped on the PS3/BR band wagon yesterday. i think i'm pretty happy i did. however i'm having a problem i think. i noticed that there is a slight "double image" when i'm going through HDMI. for example, its very apparent when i go to the PS store and it says "please wait" while it...

    suggestion for my parents

    so today, me and pops went out and picked up a pair of polk RM 101's. we went to the circuit city by us, and they had nothing in stock..not even those infinitys. in fact they looked like they were in construction too like BB...anywho, my dad saw the polks and liked the size of them more than...

    suggestion for my parents

    i tried to look up the receiver online but info was a bit short on it. a sub seems out of the question for them as well. also,they would only be using these for listening to CDs.

    suggestion for my parents

    i would say anything over 200 is out of the question for them. i don't think sound quality is super important to them, but i don't want to buy them a piece of junk either, you know? i think size is more important to them. they want something that can comfortably sit on top of their cabinet. thanks!

    suggestion for my parents

    Format Question

    ok, so like most folks on here, my fam and i are getting my dad a DVD recorder for x-mas this year. he mainly wants it to dub old home movies off onto. our budget is $250-$300, and i think we can get a decent recorder for that. however, the different blank media formats are giving me a headache...

    DLP vs. LCD - The Discussion Thread that Combines Them ALL

    thanks for the responses all... i've been shopping the stores (sears, circuit city, best buy, and tweeter) to see these models in person. i don't seem to be effected by the rainbow effect, so i don't think that's a cause of concern for me. at this point, i am heavily leaning towards the...

    DLP vs. LCD - The Discussion Thread that Combines Them ALL

    all, i'm looking at 2 different RPTVs over at crutchfield's...the Toshiba 46HM84 DLP, and the Sony KF-42WE610 LCD (i'd inlcude links but the BB won't allow me). i'm leaning towards the toshiba as i've liked their products in the past, but that sony looks like a good deal. any thoughts? thanks!

    hey all, i've been thinking of getting a pair of klipsch ss-1 to match my front SB-2 mains and SC-1 center. however, its not like it used to be, and i've been finding them hard to come by on the old net. even ebay seems dry. can anyone reccommend any online dealers? thanks!

    no more 2.0 mixes?

    it seems to me that most recent DVD releases no longer offer a standard 2.0 audio mix and plays in 5.1 by default. this is fine when i'm watching discs on my setup, but more often than not im watching a flick on a friend's or the family TV that uses only the basic setup. the sound is unbalanced...

    Does anybody have the Denon dvd 910?

    well, i got my DVD-910 on monday from crutchfield, and 2 days in advance to boot! i'm pretty happy with my purchase! i've only got a 20 inch toshiba flat screen, but its deffinately a better picture than my old panasonic A120. i don't have a progressive scan set, so i can not add to this area...

    Klipsch Synergy vs Athena Audition

    i personally have a pair of klipsch SB2 mains, an SC-1 center and a KSW-12 sub, and im perfectly happy with them. i'm absolutely sure that the reference line is much better than the synergy series as much as they should since they generally retail for twice the amount. it sounds to me that if...

    Klipsch going to Best Buy?

    funny this thread is here as i just got in from BB and lo and behold there was a small supply of klipsch and athenas on the floor. they were kinda grouped together which didnt make much sense, and of course the sub was rediculously cranked high. i thought it was just me who thought that :)...

    Cheap mismatched surrounds or no surrounds at all?

    i'm kind'a in the same boat as the original poster...rediculously small space and not alot of cash to toss around. right now, i have klipsch SB2 mains and klipsch SC1 for my center, along with a KSW-12 sub. i'm very happy with it, but for my surrounds i have a pair of KLH sattelites that were...

    sub connection question

    I was at work when my new Klipsch KSW-12 sub came in the mail today, so you can imagine my excitement when i got home! However, I have a (somewhat) stupid question about hooking it up to my Sony DD/DTS reciever. The reciever has a single sub-out RCA jack, however, the actual sub has two RCA...
