ohh my G.. I have the same problem with my 53 inch RPTV which is about 7 years old). Whenever the tv is in use, i would hear a "plastic sound" just popping. I taught it happened because of the plastic box of which my tv is made from, causing it to just pop whenever it changed in temperature. But...
I'm interested in getting a sacd or dvd audio player (I would prefer to have 2 different components). But I'm still debating between SACD or DVD audio formats. (Which is better, which lets you have 5.1 surround). And for my second question, which brand should I look into= marantz, denon...
What do you guys think of the 20" Sharp aquos. I'm thinking of getting one for the kitchen. I currently have regular cable, and I have no need for HD. But I just wanted to know what you guys think of this LCD tv. -How long would this TV last. I mean, lcd should last for at least 60,000 hours...
At work, we have just installed an HK 330 to the new Polk audio tower speakers. At 2 channels, playing U2 new dvd, at 0 db and 2 speakers et at 8db, the HK receiver, after about 2 minutes, reads protect then shuts off. What was HK thinking when they've done this. The old HKs never have done...
I'm an employee at a huge computer and audio/video retail store here in quebec. I was just transferred from the computer dep. to the audio and video dep. Now, all the employees treat me as a newbie to audio and video equipment, and they think to know more than others. If you were to ask them to...
I just got the Satch live dvd and I was watching it on my system. During the second dvd, towards the end of it, the fan on my hk 325 just went crazy, making a loud noise (like a motor or something), and turning very fast. Now, I never noticed the fan working (maybe it does or maybe it doesn't)...
I just purchased the cht-15 at Future shop just the other day for 800$ can, tax in and a 9 year warr. I wired it with a 12ft. AR high quality cable (with y adpter). I'm running it with a hk 325 and polk audio set up. I must say, the sub is great. I like to have good sounding bass, and I like it...
Hello Nir (PS: my name is also Nir). I would go for the Hk. I went for the hk 325 (1450 can), since it was a 7.1. The 225 is a 5.1, which is good. The power rating is about the same for both, not a big deal between them. Yamaha is great, and so is onkyo, but hk has a very nice sound to it and is...
I was at audio center, and they had a yamaha receiver set as a 5.1, but they had 2 extra small speakers connected to the receiver. It was like they had one sub, two back speakers, one center, two front mains and then two extra speakers as mains. How is this possible = how do you make a...
I would like to know if the monster cable thx 1000 ultra are better speaker cables than the Acoustic research master 10 ga. I like the design and quality of the montser cable, and even if the ar are more expensive, I wouldn't mind to pay more. Both are preterminated. Just to mention, I work...
Hey Rob. My current set up is 2 rti70, csi40 and r50 (back). I wanted to go for the infinity, but man, the csi40 is the best center channel future shop and cc carry. Just by looking at the size, shape and the construction is what got me hooked. The sound is just perfect. Go for the 150s, they...
Hi! My home theater is set up as a 5.1 system (All polk audio spks RTi70, R50, CSi40). I find that my hk 325 isn't powerful enough, so I'm thinking of getting the HK PA 4000 (maybe you could recommend something else). Would I be able to power all 5 speakers, and would I be able to with my...
If you have pictures of your Rti speakers or any other speakers by polk, please post them. I have: Rti70 csi40 r50 (back) psw202 velodyne cht-15 I just want to see your picks http://www.hometheater2003.cjb.net
I would stick to the 525. I just returned my hk 320 for the 325 because of the 7.1, because my manager allowed me to (for 100$), and second, I'm sure movies will soon be available in 7.1 (maybe in a few years). SO if you think of keeping your hk for more than 5 years, I say spend the extra 100...
Thanks guys! To answer the question about calibration, well, I did it because the surround speakers are very close inback of me, and the fronts are very far away, so what I did was higher the channel settings for all the front speakers and lowered the surrounds. If I was to keep all of them at...
I have one question I always wanted to ask: How loud could you possibly drive your speakers, withought having them to blow. What I'm currently using in my home theater is a HK 325 (5.1 setup) with rti70 polks, csi40 center, R50s for the back and velodyne cht-15 sub. Now, on my hk, I set all...

Wow! Thanks so much. SVS is way over my limite, so I'll be looking more into the HSU VTF-2 and B-stock subs. I might call a friend of mine who is a sales rep for HK/Infinity. He might hook me up with an Infinity sub for probably half the regular price. Thank you Albert Damico for bringing...
Hey hey! Would someone please help me? I need to buy a projector in between 7500$ - 10000$. I have no clue what brand to go for, and what specs to look for. I would also like to know what screen to go for, and under what price range. ps: Does anyone have a website that explains everything...
