It sounds like a scam, since wiring money in North America is dangerous enough, let alone off the continent. I got cheated out of some electronics from a Projector "dealer" in Oklahoma who received my money and never sent any product. He's been arrested for defrauding me and many others. I...

Could it be interference from the appliances? I do have the sub plugged straight into the wall....hmmmmmm

I've tried messing around with all the settings and it still happens. In my case, the bass sounds very good, but when there is no bass and just dialogue I get a "popping" or "crackling" noise. Thanks. Chris

Hello friends. I am hoping you guys can help me out. I have a small living room setup with a Velodyne CHT-8 sub and everything else Paradigm performance series. The sub is making strange "static" noises when dialogue is on. No problems with big explosions or loud humming like spaceship...

Hi Phil. I don't mind. I paid $3200 USD plus shipping through Bestbuyplasma.com. It arrived within 2 weeks. The currency exchange right now is quite favourable. Even after the exchange and shipping, I saved at least $3500 CDN compared to buying it at Futureshop. The warranty in the US...

Hi Rich! I just purchased the TH-42PWD5UY this week and will be setting it up this weekend. You've only added to the excitement. At first, I was somewhat disappointed that the native resolution is not 1080i or 720p but from what I hear, IT DOESN'T MATTER with the Pannys! I have read nothing...

I'd recommend the Pioneer Elite as well. My father-in-law has the 64" monster and we love it. Have you looked at anything from Panasonic? I've got the 42" plasma which I find very well-made and priced better than Sony. Chris

It's not a stupid question at all. Until I sat down and read the manual to my receiver I didn't know either. On receivers, you have to designate what function gets the "digital" connection whether it be coax or optical. Read through your manual and you will likely find a section on digital...

Hi Jay. Some receivers don't auto-detect so you will have to go through your manual to make sure that you don't have to manually select your DVD setting to recognize the optical cable. (I am not sure if I read in your post whether you actually had optical cable. If not, either optical or...

Thanks guys. Lots of things to consider, but at least I am heading in the right direction. Chris P.S. The first movie I will be trying when I have it all setup, (including the new plasma) is Star Trek Nemesis which arrived in the mail last week but I have been holding off until I am...

To tell you the truth, I have no idea if this is something to consider or not so I was hoping you guys could help. I am no audiophile, but I do want to have a good set of speakers that will last and do a good job. Is Timbre-matching important and can I accomplish this between two different lines...

Frank, that is a great article! A few weeks ago, I almost got stuck with Bose until I came across this board. NOW I AM A BELIEVER! (I am now looking at Kef, B&W and Paradigm. Chris

Some people have no conscience.:thumbsdown:

Thanks for all your help guys. I will be taking all the advice and considering it in my search for new speakers (and even for a new receiver). Chris

Thanks guys! That was lots of help. I did indeed find the Paradigm website and found a dealer nearby. I will be heading there tonight. I'll have to look at everything, from price to performance but this gives me a good start. Chris

Thankfully, I found this place a few weeks ago and it's really helped me out. For one, I managed to return a pair of Bose rear-speakers back to Future Shop just in time to get my money back. I am looking to upgrade my system, starting with my speakers. For Christmas, I hope to treat myself to...
