Hi, I'm looking to purchase a new TV and have been looking at quite a few options. I've decided I want a flat panel that is at least 50". At first I was thinking of purchasing a Panaonic TH-50PX60U, because I've read nothing but great reviews and it's very cheap. But the more I thought about...

MikeNg: To be honest, music is where is seems the worst. When I watch movies, the bass sounds great (at least when I lived in my smaller apartment, in the larger room I have now, it doesn't sound anywhere near as loud), but when I play music, I can hear hardly any kick from it. And this goes not...

I'm planning on buying a Panasonic TH-50PX60U. I wish I could go bigger, but I'm limited on my budget (espically if I end up spending more on the audio). I'd love to go with a front projector, but the room is surrounded with windows, and a set of french doors that are opposite of where the TV...

Wow, that is one huge sub. It is a lot more than I was looking to spend, but I'll keep it under consideration, since it may be a couple more months before I upgrade. The first thing I plan on buying is a new TV, after that I'll see how much money I still have left to spend and decide on what to...

I just moved into a new house that has a large family that I'm putting my home theater in. The dimensions for the room are 23 x 17 x 9 (the ceiling is peaked, from 8' to 10'). Currently the speakers I have are Onix Rockets (RS ELT LRS for main and surrounds, RS ELT CTR for center, and RS UFW-10...

John: Thanks for the link, I remember seeing that site a while back ago, but couldn't remember where. I ordered the part they reccomended and hope it works. Bill: The only thing that isn't connected to the same plug-in is my sub, which is one of the items causing the hum, so that could work...

I currently get speaker hum whenever I connect both my sub and my cable service. As of right now I've just been d/c one when I use the other, but I'd like to get this fixed. Any idea how to get rid of this?

I'm thinking of building a HTPC, only if I can get the setup exactly like I want. What I would like to do is be able to rip all of my cds and dvds to my hard drive (cds in a lossless format and dvds in Divx/Xvid), that way I'd never have to worry about switching out discs. Now I know Windows...

Sorry for the late reply, I've had a busy day today. While I was adjusting my sub using the Avia disc I decided to just readjust all my speakers. I upped everything from 70db to 80db, but when my ears started bleeding, I realized that I should bring that level back down, heh. But I still went...

Just received the new sub, and it looks beautiful! It will probably be quite a while before I get it setup since this sub has a parametric eq that I'll need to adjust (plus I'll have to readjust the phase and gain settings). So for the next few hours I'll be busy with that, I'll let you guys...

Nah, the ebony is fine. Like I said, you can't even see where I place my sub anyway, so no big deal. But thanks for the offer.

Just got an email from Greg. He says the sub will be shipped out tomorrow via overnight, so I should get it wednesday. This is great! I chose the Ebony, because Rosewood was out of stock. The Rosewood would've matched the rest of my speakers better, but I really don't care, it will be out of...

Tried it, can only change the message, not the title. Maybe a moderator can drop by and change it for me? I give them permission.

I think maybe since Mark did respond so well, the thread title should be edited to read: "Bad service with AV123...turned great." Just my opinion. Can I do this myself? If so, I will do it (I'm sure MLS hates seeing this topic title being constantly bumped back to the top), just need to be...

I know this was not your intent, but I hope in the future posters don't use these forums as a podium to manipulate companies like AV123 to go above and beyond. As you said, this was not my intention and I hope no one thinks I did this expecting to get what I did. I don't post much on these...

Well all I can say is...wow. I really wasn't expecting this. I was just hoping to get my sub back by this week. But a whole new sub....heck, not just a new sub, but a step up from what I had (I keep re-reading the post to make sure I'm seeing the right model). I thank you. You represent your...

Thank you Mark for your response. I was really hoping a representative of the company would see this and respond. That's one of the reasons I posted my problem. I'll send you that email. :)

*edit* For those just now reading this, the problem has been resolved (as you can see from reading further down), and has quite the happy ending. Instead of steering people away from purchasing anything from this company, I hope this topic encourages them to trust them and see that they are an...

Just checked out parts express and it's nice to see the Vogel brackets at such a great price. I just wished they offered VLB1025, because my speakers weigh 12lbs which is a pound more than the VLB50 is rated for (I know it's only a pound, but I wouldn't want to take the chance of the speaker...

You say $20 a piece, so they don't come in a pair?

I just purchased my surround system and was thinking of mounting my rear surrounds on either shelves or wall mounts and was hoping some of you could give me some inexpensive ideas on doing this. I'd prefer wall mounts because of the flexability of positioning the speakers in different...

For the time I think I'm just going to go with leaving them on the shelves and extending the sides of the stand out farther so I get better sound seperation. At the moment I'm just looking for the most cost effective way of placing these speakers, I've already went way over my budget for...

Well I've got just about everything switched to the new room. Here is a pic of how the new setup looks. To me, it looks like the front l/r look too close to the center and the separation wouldn't be as apparent as it would if they were place on the outside of the entertainment center. The...

Here is a very rough drawing of the room setup. As you can see there should be about a foot of space on either side of the stand. I will be sitting prolly around 7 feet back from the stand and not all the way back against the rear wall because of a closet door that is placed at the end of the...

Well I'd rather not set the speakers in front of stand for two reasons. One, I would like them even with my center channel speaker, and two, because of the tight space I will already be sitting pretty damn close to the speakers/tv and that would make it all the more closer. I havn't put the...

LOL, no I didn't mean I was going to play them with the doors closed. I would open the doors when I would be playing the speakers, but if you notice in the pic the doors don't open very far back so I was afraid the sound might bounce off of them and screw up the imaging.

I'm in the process of setting up a 5.1 setup I just purchased. The room I'm putting it in isn't very big (about 13.5' by 10'), so I'm having quite the time trying to figure out where to place it all. I have quite a large entertainment stand and don't have much room to put speakers on the outside...

Thanks again for the opinions. I have currently put Lawrence of Arabia, Saving Private Ryan, and T2 up for sale on half.com. I was hoping since LoA:LE was OOP that it might have gone up in value, but it looks like it's still selling for a low price, *shrug* oh well. I just hope they all sell...

Thanks for all the info, keep it all comin! Contrary to how it sounds, I DO like extras, but I rarely ever watch them more than once. 12 Monkeys - I was pretty decided on keeping this one, just wantin to get opinions on the new soundtrack, doesn't sound like it's really worth it. Lawrence...

I have a few DVDs that had a second release of some sort that either give it better A/V quality or different features and I'm trying to decide whether I should buy these new versions. It's a bit of hassle for me, because I'll need to try and sell my old versions first (prolly through half.com)...
