    Dedicated Media Room, needing advice

    My fiancee and I are getting married late next summer, and will be buying a house shortly thereafter. One of my conditions is that whatever house we buy will end up having a dedicated "Theater room" for my movie/tv watching. I have a basic HT system now, and will probably sell off all that I own...

    Pioneer Elite 45- MCACC full of it?

    So, if I let the MCACC do it's thing, then go in and adjust the volume of the sub up a bit, and set the speakers to small, does that turn off the rest of the settings the mcacc made?

    Pioneer Elite 45- MCACC full of it?

    So I picked up an Elite VSX-45TX about a week ago, and have finally got spare time enough to really play with it. I ran the MCACC when I first got it, and I thought it sounded pretty good. However, when I ran it again recently after upgrading my sub, I payed a bit more attention. First off...

    DVD player to go with Toshiba 51H83

    If you really want something that is available at Best Buy, then I would suggest you pick up the Yamaha DVS-5560. Has a better picture than anything else that they carry, and I have yet to see the chroma bug in it. I think they are selling it for somewhere around $150. Otherwise, I would try...

    2 JBL PB10's, or 1 SVS 25-31?

    I can get two JBL PB10 subs for the same price as a single SVS 25-31. I'm intrigued by the idea of running dual subs in stereo, but wondering if the pure quality difference of stepping up to the SVS would outweight that benefit. Any opinions?

    What gauge is this wiring?

    I have Monster Cable XPHP-CI that I was planning on running for my speakers, but nowhere on Monster Cable's web site does it list a gauge size for this wire? I also haven't been able to locate any size notation on the wire jacket. Help?

    Pre-terminated speaker cable?

    Does anybody know of any brands of speaker cable that come out of the package with banana clips already attached? I know Monster Cable has a few, but all of them that are available are either the Z or M series ($$$$$). Anything less expensive in large gauges?

    Upgraditis and mass hysteria...

    Yogi- The Sony STR-DA4ES has dual multi-channel inputs, and can therefore hook up to both components at the same time.
