    center channel speaker stand

    the sound anchors sound fine. it is a bit tech-y looking and a bit complicated looking. functionally, they are fine!

    center channel speaker stand

    i'm flexible. my center channel is very large and heavy. my tv is a sony 60xbr800 with the sony stand, which makes it very low. so a very low, slightly tilted stand would be the best. thanks.

    THX sub vs. non THX sub, pros & cons

    I was told that if I were to use a non-THX sub that whenever I decrease the volume below reference (0 db), which is quite possibly quite often, that the only way to adjust the output of the subwoofer is to use the sub's volume knob on the sub itself, as oppose to using a THX sub, in which case...

    Hi, i got my B&K 507 this past Monday and set it up late Monday without incident. Used it a little Tuesday. Now, late Wednesday night, just turned it on for the first time today, using the remote to try to turn on the 507 from the usual "sleep" mode, it won't turn on. even pushing the sleep...

    I'd like to reiterate that I'm interested in a quality-conscious company who cares about customer service, etc. I chose bluedo.com because, from what little I know about them from my research, they seemed totally knowledgeable and "up and up" and are into providing good customer service...

    selling mx700 remote because i'm getting B&K 505 receiver with its own mx700

    Doug, i was told ( i still have not received my B&K 505 receiver yet, delay after delay, ugh!) that the B&K's remote is the exact same unit as the mx700 except for a few customized buttons and pre-programmed functions. i wanted to do the programming "right" for the B&K receiver. plus, i NEVER...

    selling mx700 remote because i'm getting B&K 505 receiver with its own mx700

    Camp, please note that the seller from your link clearly says that the cable is NOT included. i don't know where you would buy such a cable or whether you would feel comfortable with a non-factory cable. who needs cable compatibility issues? i made sure that mine included a factory cable.

    Sorry, price is: $350 or best offer. please note that i have never even used the smaller remote that it comes with, and barely used the main remote. it is very new and fresh. there's just no point in keeping this one when the B&K receiver comes with the exact same thing. thanks.

    selling mx700 remote because i'm getting B&K 505 receiver with its own mx700

    i bought an mx700 several months ago, and, right after i bought it, bought a new large tv and never used it again since i'm waiting for my B&K 505 receiver, which comes with its own mx700 as its standard remote. while i've encountered delay after delay for my B&K 505 receiver, i didn't want...

    ***Gay-Friendly DVD's, Version 5***

    Nope, it's not Lan Yu. Just saw it at the Virgin store yesterday, and i think they only sell Region 1 dvds. i'm sure the release date was 2003 because i looked at the small print. it also had a couple of those film award logos on the front, and i believe one of them was a San Francisco Gay...

    ***Gay-Friendly DVD's, Version 5***

    oops, vis-a-vis the message above, this Chinese-made film/dvd's box cover clearly said that it won a bunch of gay film festivals' awards. i think it included the San Francisco Gay Film Festival Award. i also saw that the release date was 2003.

    what are the "essential" Chinese movies (e.g. To Live, Raise the Red Lantern, etc.)

    finally found and got Xiu Xiu - the Sent down girl. it isn't available on the usual dvd etailers. i'm still struggling with whether or not to bother with buying a region-free dvd player. the 520 will be superceded by the 600, and who knows what the 600 will be like in terms of quality control...
