Harmanaudio.com has JBL N310's (remanufactured) for $150 each. http://www.harmanaudio.com/search_br...D310-Z&status= Just a suggestion. I haven't heard them or compared them to the other speakers mentioned here.
Thanks, Greg. That is definitely my plan. I really should get decent reception indoors - I'm only about 20 miles from the transmitters, with good line of sight except for other houses, and all the transmitters are located in the same place. OTOH, antennaweb puts me in the red zone for all...
The forum descriptions basically say that this is the place for stupid questions, so here goes. I currently have analog cable thru the local cable company and recently bought an HDTV-ready set. I'm really anxious to get some HDTV programming, but I don't want to sign up for digital cable or...
Another option to consider is to build your system in stages. Use the $600 you have budgeted now to buy mains, or mains + a sub, then add the center and surrounds later. Obviously you don't get the full effect right away, but in a year or two, you will have an even nicer system and might stave...
My 875 arrived yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet. I looked at the info in the manual regarding the shuffle mode, and it only explained how you can shuffle b/w discs or tracks, not how to designate which disc or discs it should pull tracks from. I'll try to get it...
Do a search in the dvdplayers section of avsforum.com for dvp-cx985v and you will find a thread with a lot of good info, both pros and cons. The search will also pull up a huge thread with more info than you or I would ever want or need about the 875. That thread also has some info about the 985...
Lately I've done a lot of reading about these two mega-changers, here and at AVSforums. The 875 is last year's model. It has a few features that were dropped for the new one (985) such as the flip ability, easy play slot, and slink-e control (whatever that is). The new one has SACD capability...
I would also be interested in opinions regarding this set. I'm comparing it to the Hitachi 46f500, the Mitsubishi 42313, and the Sony 46WT510. We watch a lot of dvds, but a lot of standard programming as well. TIA.
You might be happier in the long run if you use your $400 now to get new mains and a center, and continue using some from your old set as surrounds, then replace those later, when the wallet cools off. $400 for mains and a center would likely give you more options and you might be able to stave...
As I was reading this thread, I started to get a bit nervous, but then Richard chimed in with exactly what I was going to say. I was in much the same position as you a couple of months ago. I decided to start building a system, but didn't have the extra cash to go out and buy 6 speakers and a...
Keep in mind that JBL and Infinity are part of the same company, so w/ Infinity, you might be paying a bit more for the name, e.g. Toyota v. Lexus.
If you decide to go with one of those brands, you might want to check out www.harmanaudio.com for factory reconditioned units and close-outs at...

I just recently bought a pair of Axiom M22s from Marc. I've been really pleased with them and also with the help I received from Marc. I'm sure whatever you end up with will work great.
