    Which would be better, the scaler in my tv or a DVI upscaling dvd player?

    i received a Toshiba 65hx83 yesterday and I notice it can upscale 4801/480p to 1080i. I was wondering do you think I would get the better picture from just using my Panasonic RP-91 and let the set upscale or get a dvi dvd player, Bravo, Samsung, Denon..., and let the player do it? Thank You...

    I have the chance to get a "65HX83", over my current "65H82", should I do it?

    I posted this in another thread and I wanted the opinion of you guys here. Toshiba is offering me the "HX83" series over my current "H82" series because the dvi upgrade is not available for the "H82" series yet. It would cost me $399.99 for the "H83" and $599.99 for the "HX83". Are the new sets...

    Where are all the young artist on sacd/dvd-audio?

    I am 29 years old and a gear head. Every video game system I own. Ipod, HDTV, 7.1 surround system I own. I love buying the latest hi-tech gear. I also happen to own the Panasonic RP-91, which plays dvd-audio. I have heard dvd audio and sacd but will not invest in owning any disk because the...

    Is the PB2+ fast enough to keep up with techno and rap music?

    I currently have a HSU VTF-2 and I have decided to up grade. My choices are the Martin and Logan Descent, James loud speaker EMB-1000/1500 or the SVS PB2+. My room is about 2400 cubic ft. Now I know all of these subs will kick ass in the home theater area but I still listen to a lot of rap and...

    Do I really need high resolution speakers to take advantage of dvd audio?

    I have paradigm monitor 7 speakers up front and I have a Panasonic RP-91 that I have had over a year and I have never tried dvd audio on it. But I keep noticing ads saying you need "high resolution speakers" to appreciate sacd and dvd audio. Is this true or just hype? Thank you.

    Would I hear a difference if I added an outlaw 755 to my Denon 3802?

    I own Paradigm Monitor 7 speakers and I always find myself turning tje volume up to -5. But at -12 it sounds slightly better, not as much distortion. Would adding an amp help with this? Thanks.

    I want bass that hits me in the chest. How can I make this happen?

    I own a HSU vtf-2 sub and I love it. I noticed the other day when playing some music that when I stood right next to it the bass hit so hard, I typically sit about 13 feet away from my 65". What type of sub would let me feel that kind of bass at my sitting position. My room is "L" shaped. The...

    I sent back an SVS 20-39pc over a year ago. Man, that was dumb.

    A little over a year ago I ordered an SVS 20-39pc and just could not wait to get it. After it arrived I just could'nt see what the fuss was about. I could'nt feel the bass that well. I should have known it was something with my setup when the SVS knocked my paradigm monitor speaker off the...

    I have confession to make....I don't like my RP-91. There I said it.

    I have lived with this dvd player for over a year and in my heart i just never felt satisfied. I have tried it on two different sets, Pioneer 533 and now my Toshiba 65H82, and the performance just never blew me away. I admit I let forum users convince me how great this player was by all the...

    Is the Anthem AVM-20 garbage? My dealer said so.

    Now listen Anthem people I'm just the messenger lower your flamethrowers. I went to a dealer today in the metro Detroit area because I thought they sold Anthem products because they carry the Paradigm studio line. Well I go to audition the Anthem AVM-20, because all I have heard is rave reviews...

    What speakers help to create the live experience at home?

    I went out to eat earlier this week and the restaurant I went to had a cover band playing. Now the band was fine but what I noticed is how alive it all sounded. I have never had that "alive" experience at my house. I own a Denon 3802, Paradigm monitor 7 speakers, and a Hsu vtf-2 subwoofer. I am...

    I listen to mostly hip-hop & r & b. Please suggest some speakers to auditon.

    I currently own paradigm monitor 7 in my set up. They are pretty good for home theater use but they just don't have the impact I am looking for when I play music. What speakers could you guys recommend for a person who enjoys hip-hop and r & b? Thanks P.S. Or do I need to add a separate amp...

    My room is driving me nuts. What can I do?

    My room is "L" shaped and it's driving me crazy. I currently have 7.1 running in my room where i sit 2 feet from the back wall. I noticed last night when I sit at the back wall my mid range and sub sound so much better. When I sit at the original location I cant feel the bass that well. I have...

    Is it wrong to like boomy bass?

    I used to own a paradigm ps-1000 and seemed to love it but after I started reading forums people were saying it was a boomy sub. So I started to believe that then returned it and bought a hsu vtf-2. When I had the ps-1000 I did not know how to set up subs(no rat shack meter). I just really miss...
