Thanks for the reply. i really liked the Hitachi picture when i saw it, and the only real difference i could notice between the HDX and HDT (other than price) was the case on the thing. I was sketchy about it because i think it will be too big for the distance i have (10.5'), and should consider...

thanks to Paul and Chris for their replies...anyone else have any opinions on the matter?

re: House of Sound - if you like vinyl, you'll like the stuff they carry. speak with Chris (shorter guy, curly hair). good point on the big boxes for price.

Paul, I doubt i'd pick up a TV from Future Shop or BB just because i prefer to help out the "little guys" who specialise in this stuff, and they usually let me bend their ear for a few hours, and know a whole lot more. I tend to frequent the following: House of Sound (Kerr Str, Oakville)...

let me thank all in advance for your replies. I value the wisdom and opinions that flow through this site. The day has finally come for me to make the plunge and purchase a new tv / monitor. I have an old Mitsubishi CRT (a monstrous 350lb behemoth), but after the second time it was fixed, the...

try the THX optimizer from a THX certified DVD (Star Wars, Monsters Inc., etc.)

well the whole point with a 7.1 system, is to hear, well, 7 channels. otherwise, install a 5.1 (or a 6 and a half point 1) and try your luck. it's up to you and how you want it to sound, and what the whole purpose of the HT is. i don't think i'd want to go through the hassle of...

i don't think it really matters any more because apparently, KaZaA is being monitored anyway. check this link

Gene, i guess when the server(s) went down a few nights ago, my post was lost. i had a couple of points, i'll see i if i can actually remember them. first point - i was laughing at: "He sold the Wife on "small" towers for the L/R and chose the PSB Image 5Ts". my 5Ts power a room a smidge...

onkyo. no contest.

Battlefield 1942. and dl the Desert Combat mod too. amazing. you can also try the Dark Watch Clan server around 21.00-01.00 EST weeknights and weekends. (www.darkwatchclan.com) awesome game!

Alex, the thing to consider with going to 12 gauge wire, is you have a greater impedance and less signal loss. the problem though is you need to make sure your amp / AVR can push the amount of signal you need to go through 40' or wire. i run my rears and sides through 35' of 16 gauge using an...

I used to have a Sony STR-DE595, and i couldn't stand the tinny sound to it. it couldn't push my PSBs at all. so i gave it to my brother-in-law (since he doesn't know much about H/T). i replaced that Sony POS with an Onkyo NR900. OMG! what a difference. i almost had my ears bleeding. the sound...

i run 5Ts with an 8C centre and 4 alphas(7 channel). i love the 5Ts. PSB makes a very good speaker for the cost. the only thing i would suggest is, if you have the room, go with the 9C if you buy the 5T or 6T to ensure you timbre match. i have the 8C because of space considerations in my...

I don't know if anyone has run into this problem, but i thought i'd ask, and see if anyone could provide some help. I am running an Onkyo NR900 and Sony DVD player (DVP-NS400D) with an optical cable connecting them. I am 99.9% sure i have the Onkyo configured properly for 7.1 (i don't have...
