    Recommendations for $3K TV

    I will have to look into the front projectors a little more. I had given up on these b/c I thought they were quite a bit more expensive than a DLP or LCD TV with the same picture quality. SOunds like this is not true... If I were to stay with a "300 lb TV", wWhat are the pros and cons between...

    Recommendations for $3K TV

    Could you give me a little clarification on FP (front projector?), HTPC, and PQ? Is the resolution with a projector really as good as a non-projector? The DSP TVs seem quite nice, light, good viewing angles from anywhere - why not these?

    Recommendations for $3K TV

    I'm re-doing my basement and am looking to add a TV for a home theater. Have ~$3K to spend. Seating area would be ~9-10 ft. from screen. Don't really want to go plasma b/c can't get size I would like for budget. But don't know whether to go with DSP, std. rear projection, or projector? Any...

    Onkyo TX-SR800 and TX-SR701

    It does have select THX certification.... Maybe I should be asking if anyone knows anything bad about the Onkyo TX-SR800, which is where I'm heading. I have been considering this, the Denon-2803 and the HK 525, but the Onkyo has more features for the $ and also a great sound (though I've only...

    What is the best way to hook up a computer to a receiver to play MP3 files? Can you get good sound quality with a setup like this? What type of input is best - digital, optical, etc.

    Digital Music Jukebox

    Just one more thing to add...I suppose it doesn't have to have a super remote - it could have an on-screen display that is searchable, etc. - since my TV would normally be off when I'm in music mode. And that probably makes more sense, too, since everyone would like to see what's on the jukebox...

    Digital Music Jukebox

    Not sure if this is the right section for this post...I'm looking for something and just curious if it even exists... Right now I have a 301 CD changer (my jukebox) which I've created a song book for. My song book has the CD title, artist name, song title, music genre, disc no, and track no...

    Onkyo TX-SR800 and TX-SR701

    Anyone who has experience with these receivers that can share some pros/cons? Is the basic difference just the THX certification for the SR800 (and hence the price delta)? Thanks!

    Online Etailer Experience

    Any advice for purchasing receivers / speakers from online etailers? Anything to be weary of? Some are offering very attractive deals and it makes me a little nervous. Any experience with electrodude or etronics? Thanks.

Hoping to get some features that will allow me to expand to DVD-Audio or SACD in the future (this is a nice to have vs. a must have). Would be coupling the receiver with Polk RM7200's (at...
