    Problems with JBL PB12

    Having dealt with various warranty repairs over the years, I must say it is standard practice and a part of almost all warranty contracts for companies to require that customers get the product back to them in order to recover the repair, whether it is shipped or you have to bring it to a...

    Poll: Buy online or locally?

    I'd probably go with B & C. I don't mind paying a little extra to both have the benefit of dealing with and supporting a local business, as well as having a bit of instant gratification with my purchase; but I'm not going to pay and arm and a leg to do so. For those who say, "The heck with the...

    BIC Speakers

    Just to clarify, I was referring to their home theater systems and was hoping to hear back from someone who either owned them, heard them, or could point me in the direction of an online review or two..... :)

    Kenwood VR-6060, Pioneer VSX-D811S, Sony STR-DE985 ???

    Well, after more research and a lot of thought, I've decided to go with the VR-6070. The Onkyo TX-SR600 and the Pioneer VSX-D811S were really the only other two receivers that were strongly considered at the end; but I think all of the great features and performance of the VR-6070, as well as a...

    Thanks for the input. I've heard a few good things about the Sony DE series, and even like the ability to customize the display; but have also heard enough negative input that I may just stay away from them. That puts me leaning toward the Kenwood or Pioneer; though I've also gotten some good...

    Help choosing ~300$ speakers

    This is something I'd like some input on, too. It wasn't an issue when I was considering HTiB, in that the speakers would have been included in the system; but now that I'm looking at picking up the receiver & speakers separately, things get confusing real fast. :crazy:

    Kenwood VR-6060, Pioneer VSX-D811S, Sony STR-DE985 ???

    Since it's been a good 20+ years since I upgraded my stereo system (with the heart of it being a Nikko NA-890 Amp), and my speakers have about had it, I've come to the conclusion that it's time for a new system. I listen to a LOT of music (mostly CDs; though also through my DISH); but I'm also...
