    Affordability of proj/screen?

    How about the Sanyo Z1? I have heard good things about that projector and it supports component input as well.

    Affordability of proj/screen?

    Can a good projector with component inputs and a screen be had (new or used) for 1500 or less? If so, what brands and models of projectors should I be looking for?

    Tyler Acoustics...anyone?

    I see these on Audiogon quite frequently. Anyone have or heard them? They use quality SEAS, Scanspeak and Peerless drivers, so they can't be all bad. Just curious what the verdict is on this boutique speaker manufacturer. Their user reviews at audioreview are quite good.

    Silver vs. Copper interconnects

    Is there really a difference? I'm going to be upgrading my amp to a Rotel RMB-1075 and DVD/DVD-A player to a Rotel RDV-1060. When I do, I'll have the opportunity to get a full trade-in on my MIT AVt 3-series copper interconnects if I upgrade to the MIT AVt 1-series silver interconnects. Will...

    FS: Five Marantz MA500 Monoblocks

    I would trade/partial trade for some quality silver interconnects. Otherwise I need the cash for a new Rotel RMB-1075 and RDV-1060.

    FS: Five Marantz MA500 Monoblocks

    Willing to go as low as $140 per monoblock, shipping included. I have original boxes and materials for three of the monoblocks. Condition conservatively rated at 8/10 - would be 9/10 but I am the second owner. I have only had them for a month or so and they have worked wonderfully...

    Marantz DV-8300 - worth a look?

    I've seen quite a few of these coming up on Audiogon now that the DV-8400 is out. How does this unit rate as far as Universal players go and how is the video performance? Any help is appreciated. EDIT: I searched the reviews at ecoustics and they don't help much. Some thought is was a great...

    WTB: HSU or other similar box sub in Minneapolis area.

    Front floorstanding $1000 to $1400 a pair, any recommendations?

    I have the Dynaudio Audience 122s and I've been VERY pleased. You'll find the 122s and several other Dyn models in that price range. They're also the perfect match with the 122C for HT use.

    Using a Rotel RSX-1055 as a pre/pro? Best way to incorporate external amplification?

    Going with a series of MA500 Monoblocks, if I can find quality used units, would be an affordable way to get the power range and headroom that the Dyns demand. Thanks for the tip.

    WTB: 3 or 7 channel amplifier - details inside

    Using a Rotel RSX-1055 as a pre/pro? Best way to incorporate external amplification?

    Right now I have my RSX-1055 running Dynaudio Audience 122 mains (6 ohm) and Dynaudio Audience 42 surrounds (4 ohm), with a Dynaudio Audience 122C (6 ohm) to arrive this week. This is quite a load for a one-box solution like the 1055. I'm thinking about picking up a multichannel amp to decrease...

    What can I do to improve DVD picture quality?

    Short of buying a new set, what can I do to improve DVD picture quality? I recently purchased my Mitsu WS-48311 RP HDTV and I'm getting a bit disappointed with the picture quality. The picture seems excessively grainy on newer movies that probably shouldn't appear to be that way. I've also...

    New RPHDTV - calibration question.

    The cable TV signal looks like crap - fuzzy and washed out. I know that RPTVs aren't great for cable viewing, but what performance should be expected? I've tried to tinker with the video settings, but to no avail.

    New RPHDTV - calibration question.

    My Mitsu WS-48311 arrived today. I've tweaked the convergence settings, but I'm curious about when an official calibration is needed. Do you need one when the set is new?
