You are going to get a lot of people touting their system. I won't do that. But I will tout my TV--the Mitsubishi 65WS411. If you don't need a HD tuner (and many don't esp if you use satellite or cable) it is an awesome TV. I spent $2800 for it. I love my Mirage OM7 towers (about 700 apiece...

Get an inexpensive receiver and the best speakers you can get. YOU can always trade up receivers later. You can get a good receiver like the Yamaha RX-V630 or some such that has plenty of watts, Prologic II, and 6.1 capability for 400 dollars max. Spend the 1100 extra on speakers.

yes I just measured--about 32 1/2 inches tall.

I have the Mits 65WS411. I would recommend it if you do not need the HDTV tuner built in--I did not as I use digital cable. It is several hundred dollars cheaper than the 511 for basically the same set sans the tuner built in. I can't speak for the others but the Mits is a great TV. And right...

This from another thread about the SVS: I have the 25-31PC+ in a 5000+sq ft room (20x15 w/ 20 ft. vaulted ceiling) and it's impressive to say the least. I have it tuned to 20Hz, and it hits hard and deep. But now you have me curious, I think I'm going to try the 25Hz tune and see how I like...

I, too, just got the same sub. It is awesome--I have listened to several movies and wow!! Fight club was supurb. I watched Tombstone last night and the shotguns ran my dogs howling for the door. And I have tough dogs!!;)

I have Mirage Omnisats--very stylish and white--about 10 inches in diameter. They also make micros. www.miragespeakers.com Remember, though--you want your rears to match your forwards and center in timbre. Go with the same manufacturer, at least, if you can.

I have a large open room with about a 16 foot vaulted ceiling. And the room is open on 2 sides to large florida rooms. I recently got a SVS 25-31 pci plus. It is awesome. The cylinder does not take up too much floor space (although it is tall--37 inches?) But it has great sound and accuracy. It...

Thanks guys--this is why this is such a valuable forum. I did not even think that was what was causing it--the DVD setting was to 4:3 letterbox. I knew it was not regular 4:3 but did not think about 4:3 letterbox. Thanks again!!!!:D

Thanks, I'll check my DVD player. Vince the reason I posted here is you said the question belongs here.

My TV is 1.77:1 63 inch Mit and when I play 1.85:1 DVDs I should see a small black bar at top and bottom. That I understand. But I am seeing rather large black bars--of the 32 inches from top to bottom of the screen, there are 3 inch black bars above and below--this is almost 1/5 of my vertical...

Why is it that DVD movies like The Princess Bride and Army of Darkness still have dark bars above and below in widescreen format on my widescreen TV when the movie is playing but do not when the MGM lion growls or at the scene selection screen?

Hey Oakley, does your 525 receiver remote control everything, then? Thanks for the info!

Thanks Bob!! OK--so I take all the video inputs and go into the receiver? My VCR does not have S Video but I assume I can use the regular jacks. Then my HK remote will run everything--incl my cable box?? That is amazing. Will I lose any quality going through a receiver with my video instead of...

I havea basic question. I have a new HK 525. The sockets in the back for DVD and VHS hookups are for VIDEO as well as Audio. My digital cable box goes to the TV. Surely I go directly from the video out on the DVD player and VHS player to the TV?? And not to the receiver? And then I run their...

Can you believe I just got my HK 525 out of the box? I will set it up tomorrow and get back to this. Fingers crossed!!

I just got my SVS cylinder. My wife rolled her eyes but, I believe, was secretly impressed at the sheer size and power of the thing. How can you not be--it peers over my couch sort of like a big dog ready to growl. And growl it can.....

I have a HK 525--hope that works well. Thanks for the advice guys---they come tonight so I am psyched!

Thanks all!!:D

Thanks all! I am getting the OM7s after all! :D

ANyone have any experience with these? I am considering buying them, the OMC2 center, and Mirage omnisats for rear. Thanks.:D

Anyone have any experience with this? It is rated at 75 watts per channel...is that real? Will this run a top quality Home Theatre WELL--Mirage OM7s, Mirage surrounds, OMC2 center, SVS sub? Thanks!

Does Denon overrate its power too? For example, the 3803?

I see too that the Sony lists itself as 100 watts per channel whil eht HK 525 lists itself as 80. WHat is with that? I hear so much about these numbers being difficult to believe. Which is the better receiver in this case?

Basic question. 1/2 music 1/2 home theater. Rocket speaker 5.1 setup with DVS sub. I am about to buy--which is better or are they equal?? Thanks!

Thanks! I am still considering the Bostons vs the Rocket 750s. Tough choice. :D

Thanks! I am still considering the Bostons vs the Rocket 750s. Tough choice. :D

Thanks!!:D

I am buying either a Mitsubishi WS65311 or a Hitachi 65SWX20B today. After all I hear about red push, and the need for calibration--when is the earliest I should get a tech to come out and calibrate it? Should I let it wear in some first, or just get it done? I am afraid after reading these...
