Thanks everyone. I listened to a Pioneer 45TX compared to the Yamaha RXV3300 today, now I'm leaning toward the Pioneer 45TX. One more listen to this week, and I'll make a decision. They are all good sounding machines, as can be expected, since they are near in price, what one person likes...

Actually, I have been in home theater for over a year, first in a medium room, where I burned up a Sony receiver. My dad has the Onkyo TX-DS797, in the shop now getting the audio dropout bug fixed. I'm sure I'm more inquisitive about current draw than the average Joe out there. My high school...

Gee, I thought this was a friendly forum.....

Thanks Matt. Are you going with the Rotel for the mains for more power or better quality amplification? Steve

In Dallas. I'm in the research mode right now, considering the Pioneer VSX-45TX, Denon AVR-3803, Onkyo TXSR-800 Lots of choices out there. Steve

Well, I have had several refurbed electronics before, both Denon and Onkyo, usually with no problem, some are cosmetic issues, some have had repairs. I got a refurbed Denon DCM-370 cd player last year for 89.00!! delivered. At the time it was about 300.00 on the web, but the factory warranty was...

Well, I know what I want for dinner, beyond that..who knows.. Anyway, lots of good input in here, info overload. I’ll be moving soon, and will have a bigger area for my setup, so what might be enough watts and current now, may be inadequate later. I still have a couple of receivers from the...

Circa 1915: "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black". Ah, the good ole days when you had no choices, and did not know any better. Ignorance is bliss. Anyway, here I am looking at the Denon AVR-3803, and the Onkyo TX-SR800, and the countless other recommendations in here on...

I thought I might throw my 2 cents in regarding speaker wire. Probably the best info I have seen is by Roger Russell, retired Mcintosh engineer, his web page is http://home.earthlink.net/~rogerr7/wire.htm I am not an engineer, or expert on anything, besides sleeping, but I think this guy...

Hi guys. In my opinion you should also consider the Wharfedale Emerald series.You can sometimes get them cheaper than the Diamond series.I have spoken to IAG America, the importer/owner of Wharfedale, regarding their different lines, and they say the Emeralds are much better than the Diamonds...

I have the Mark IV series. The crossover I have seen is a Emerald 97 Mark IV, I can't comment on the quality of the components, since I'm not qualified for that, but I can comment on the construction quality. This one has hot melt glue oozing out here and there, with some components sitting at...

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum. I own some wharfedales myself: MFM-5, MFM-7, Modus center, Emerald 97, Emerald 99, Emerald center. Lot of bang for the buck. In my unprofessional opinion, the MFM series is similar in sound to the Emeralds, with the MFM being a bit more dry, and the Emeralds being...
