    Onkyo TX-SR 500 vs. Yamaha RXV-530

    Chris, From what I have seen it is free game here. If I found a great price I would tell everyone where I got it. Thanks for the tips on places to go. Have you auditioned Paradigm speakers? I almost went with a JBL set up until I heard them. This is the setup I will most likely go with...

    Onkyo TX-SR 500 vs. Yamaha RXV-530

    Chris, I am in the process of buying a HT and I have settled on the RX-V530 (or the HTR-5550, same thing). The cheapest price I have found so far is $559 at Audio One. If you found it for less could you let me know where? Also, I had no luck even finding a place to try out the Onkyo TX-SR...

    $500 Speakers!!!

    Chris, I'm going to second Scott's recommendation for Paradigms. The deal we get here in Canada is great. I don't think you can get any floor standing speaker that has the same quality sound for the same price as the Monitor 7's. Paul

From what I have read the RX series and the HTR series are exactly the same. If these are the same receiver...

    Widescreen TV's

    Another thing to keep in mind. If you take a 53" 4:3 ratio TV and make 16:9 with the black bars, the TV becomes a 48" letter box. Not a terrible loss. A 53" 16:9 ratio TV becomes a 45" 4:3 ratio TV with the black bars. A slightly bigger loss. It was these calculations (plus the cost difference...

    What exactly does Digital Cable TV give you?

    Kevin, Go to www.bell.ca. There you will find prices on channel line ups Channel Line Ups . You can get all the channels your wife will want for $39 a month. I recently signed up for Express Vu and I'm very happy with the service. Much better picture than analog cable in my area anyway. Paul

    What exactly does Digital Cable TV give you?

    Kevin, I too was looking at getting Digital cable from Rogers. It seemed like a good deal especially when bundled with high speed, until I found out that all the normal channels are still analog. Channel 2 to 70 are still analog. If you look on www.rogers.com and look up the digital channel...
