    Sharp Aquos LC42D62U vs Samsung HPT4264 vs Toshiba Regza 42HL167

    Where I live (Canada), the plasma is about $1700 while the other two are $1800 so it is a bit cheaper but I'd spend the $100 more if one of the other sets were better. To give you an idea of my situation, I'd love a set that plays SD material very well and also HD material well once I get around...

    Sharp Aquos LC42D62U vs Samsung HPT4264 vs Toshiba Regza 42HL167

    They are all nearly the same price so it comes down to the quality of the set. The Aquos and the Toshiba are 1080p LCD sets while the Samsung is a 720p Plasma set. My viewing distance is about 8 to 9 feet away so based on that 720p would suffice but which one would you prefer and why? The only...

    My limit is $1500-$1700, what TV should I get?

    $1500 to $1700 is my limit with taxes (taxes in my area is 6%). What TV should I buy? The only requirement is that it's in the 40"-52" size range because my room is too small for a larger TV, and less than 40" is far too small. 1080p would be a definite plus but I'm not willing to settle for a...

    When do the new Samsung DLP TV's come out?

    I'm just wondering since I plan on buying a 50" DLP TV. For this current generation I cant see that rainbow effect which is a good thing, but if friends come over they might be able to see it so I'm considering getting the 3rd generation DLP (assuming it has a faster color wheel). Though I'd...

    Which is more recommended for surrounds, bookshelf or actual surrounds?

    is direct radiating the bookshelf speakers? or the surrounds?
  11. ChrisDumont

    Which is more recommended for surrounds, bookshelf or actual surrounds?

    well I just looked it up, and the surrounds (the CR3's) are "Switchable Bipole/Dipole", so that would produce that effect you're talking about? I would like clear crisp sound, and I can either put the surrounds near my ears, or have the bookshelfs stand 3-4 feet in front from where I'm...

    Which is more recommended for surrounds, bookshelf or actual surrounds?

    Well, I was opting for a 7.1 setup but that would be quite expensive. So what I'm thinking of doing is getting a 5.1 setup now, and maybe upgrade to 7.1 later down the road. Originally this was my setup: 2 Connoisseur C-9 2 C-1 bookshelf C-C3 centre speaker 2 CR3 surround speakers sub...

    What energy setup would you recommend for me?

    Keep in mind I have a 8' ceiling, 7' wide, 9' long room. Heres what it kinda looks like (hopefully the picture helps). I didnt have room to put where the speakers would be, and yes the door is at the foot of my bed (where I would be listening from). (7ft wide) ___window___ |----TV---sub-|...

    Which SVS subwoofer would you recommend for me?

    ^^yeah I was thinking about that, but I'm looking into long term since I know my future room will probably be larger, though the C-9's may still be too big? What setup would you recommend, C7's?

    Which SVS subwoofer would you recommend for me?

    oooh baby, how much bass would that thing be? My home theater in a box crappy subwoofer got me a complaint, that beast would get me life! :p Is there such a thing that the sub is too powerful for your setup? This is what I'm thinking of: 2 Connoisseur C-9 2 C-1 bookshelf C-C3 centre...

    What speaker cables should I use for this setup?

    ok, so would 10 gauge be too much for that setup? I'm kinda lost on that last bit about the F connectors. So I would need to get some RCA cables (shielded right?) for my subwoofer (which cord? since my understanding is that an RCA cable is the red,white and yellow cable) and get some F...

    How much would this setup set me back? (also other sound system questions)

    well I do live in Canada ;) Though I dont know how to change it so it says where I'm from. Anyways I dont 'need' 7.1 but right now I do have a 5.1 Kenwood HTB-505 system and would like the biggest jump in quality as possible. My room is fairly small as I still live at home (only 17), though I do...

    How much would this setup set me back? (also other sound system questions)

    is there different models of the SVS subwoofer (if there is, which one would you recommend)? And do you think I could get it at the same place I would buy my Energy speakers?

    My receiver gets really hot, is there any quiet mini fans or something of the sort?

    My receiver gets pretty warm/hot when I use it for extended amounts of time and I am worried one day I might overheat it (though I do take breaks to cool it down, I'm more worried about my brother forgetting). I keep it in my TV stand which has those glass doors. Anyways, are there any...

    How much would this setup set me back? (also other sound system questions)

    Ok, I'm pretty interested in this setup, just wondering how much it would set me back? (now dont think I just have no limit on money, I do have a limit but it can always change since I can always save up for a few more months if needed, of course eventually it would get ridiculous if I have to...

    Is there a website that has prices for home theatre systems?

    Like energy-speakers.com they have their products, but dont say how much they cost. Is there a website that tells me how much they cost? Or would I have to actually drive to the stores and jot down the prices myself?

    A few Samsung DLP questions

    what I'm confused about is whats the major differences between the first generation (HLM) and the second generation (HLN) line of Samsung DLP's? Is it worth the extra cost? Secondly, I see 2 types of models for each of the two generations. For example, theres the HLN617W and the HLN6165W. Any...

    1080p, should I wait for it before I buy a new TV?

    well I'm considering spending money on a new TV. This will probably be my largest purchase yet (planning on spending around $3000). But I dont really feel like buying another new TV in a few years if 1080p comes out then. Should I just get a Samsung DLP now?
