    Receivers with Video scalers/deinterlacers built in?

    I think the Denon line has some sort of Deinterlacer/Scaler built in for upconversion for video...but are there any other receivers that have this? I'd love to see a receiver with a Faroudja scaler/deinterlacer in it. That would probably solve all of my video problems. I'd love to be able to...

    Paradigm Atoms strike again...

    http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...rs-3-2004.html I have yet to see a bad review on these little babies. I'm glad I kept mine to use for surrounds. They are great little speakers.

    CRT projectors - LCD projectors.

    Ok...I don't think that I'll find a CRT (gun) projector for under $3000 (will I?). So, I think I've decided on an XGA, LCD projector with a 4:3 aspect ratio (I'll be watching TV on it too, so I'm just going to build a 4:3 screen and have the black lines when I watch 16:9 DVD movies). Any...

    Video Essentials or Avia?

    I already have an SPL meter to calibrate my surrounds...but I want a disc that will help me calibrate the dB of the sub with the rest of my speakers. Do both of these discs do that?

    JBL question.

    I've always liked JBL, back when I played in a band, and before that. How do their Studio speakers sound? Yeah, I know, it's the typical noob question, but I don't hear many people talking about the JBL's very often. What stores sell them? http://www.acousticsounddesign.com/c...?pid=190&sc=32

    Paradigm Drivers

    I have two big old 1980's Sanyo 3-way tower speakers. They have 10" woofers, a 3-4" midranges, and some weird tweeter that you can't see because it's behind some sort of heat spreader that points down (weird). They also have some sort of adjustable tone dial. I'm wondering if I can purchase JUST...

    Studio 40's vs Studio 20's.

    Those of you who have heard the Studio 20's right up through the Studio 100's, where would you rate the Studio 40's in comparison to the 20's and the 60's. I have 20's and I'm thinking of trading up to the 40's so I can get a bit more bass out of them for musical applications. Do the 40's sound...

    Fluance speakers.

    Does anybody out there have Fluance speakers? I'm just trying to get some opinions on them. I was going to just go buy a cheap HTIB for my formal living room, but a friend suggested getting the Fluance home theater setup with a cheap 6.1 receiver instead for about the same price. I was amazed to...

    Check this out!!!

    http://darrinsdepot.zoovy.com/produc...?meta=dealtime Think it's any good? I already have a mega-good system at home. I'd like a backup for my formal living room (not much space to put a honkin setup). Any input would be cool.

    Phase control on subwoofers...

    Can someone explain to me exactly how and why to set the phase control on a subwoofer? Right now I turned my sub facing the same way as my fronts and set it up against the wall. I left it on 0 degrees and it seems to sound ok...but I want to make sure that it how it is supposed to be...

    SPL meter and banana connectors.

    I'm looking for a good, cheap, probably analog SPL meter, and some good but pretty cheap (gold) banana clips/connectors. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Blind Subwoofer Purchase...help?!?!

    I was going to upgrade my Paradigm PDR-10 to a PS-1000, which has a much lower response. I've heard both and the PS-1000 is truly a good performer compared to the PDR-10. But I think I'm going to do a blind purchase and go for an SVS PCi 20-39. I've been reading how many of you have the SVS and...
