Greetings Learned Forum: I spend the majority of my time in the HT sections of this forum. However, I have a friend that needs to be pointed in the right direction. The topic is mobil audio. Specifically motorcycle audio. He is looking for a 2 channel amp that is powerful and small. It has to...

Hello All: This forum has been invaluable to me over the past few years. With your assistance, I have been able to put together a great 7.1 home theater that exceed all of my expectations. Now I'm moving into a small apt (you can probably fill in the blanks...)and am wondering about smaller...

Hello All: I am the happy owner of a Denon AVR-3803. It's performance has surpassed my expectations, with one notable exception. When I have selected the DTS soundtrack from an appropriate DVD, much more often than not, I get a screeching noise that shakes my speakers (and guests)to death...

Hello All: Talk about wanting it all! I have a Denon 3803 that is currently driving my HT system. I currently have a 7.1 set-up, utilizing two side surrounds and two back surrounds. I now wish to add two new speakers in another room and utilize the Zone 2 feature. The problem is, as far as I...

Hello All: I am poised on the verge of assembling my new HT in my new house. We close next Friday. Anyway, I was at the house last night and was able to take a good look at the basement family room where I will be setting up. The room is basically rectangular, but has some quirks that make me...

Hello All: I am in the middle of ordering cables (literally I have my shopping cart minimized at the bottom of my screen!) Anyway, since both my DVD player and my CD player are pretty out-of-date compared to my new AV Receiver (Denon 3803), I plan to use the DACs in the receiver as much as...

Hello All: I am in the final planning stages of my HT set-up. I had the measuring tape out yesterday and was reading posts about seating distance from the TV. I was able to find only very limited information regarding proper height of the TV. So I did a bit of measuring. We have what I...

Hello All: I will soon be installing my 7.1 set up and have a question for the forum regarding placement of the rear surrounds. I will be hanging "adaptive dipole" surrounds on the side walls and be placing monopoles on the back wall as back surrounds. Here is my question: From my front...

Hello All: I guess I am being bitten by the upgrade bug. I purchased a JVC XV-S60 two years ago. It was my very first DVD player. I have now become addicted to this forum and have learned a tremendous amount about HT. Last year, I purchased a Toshiba 50" HD RPTV. I have read that it is a very...

Hello learned colleagues: From reading various posts, there appears to be two placement options for a large center channel speaker: on top of the TV and on its own center stand in front of the TV. Paying no regard to logistical issues, what is the consensus for best overall sound quality? Is...

Hello All: While in the process of putting together a new HT set-up, I am taking stock of my old equipment. And I mean old. I have a NAD 7000X receiver, which I purchased new about a dozen years ago. I just came across my receipt...$550!!! I have no idea where I found that kind of cash back...

I would very thankful for the input of forum members on this question: How much signal quality does one really lose if sending video through your receiver instead of directly to TV? In case it is relevant, I have a Denon 3803 A/V receiver, a JVC Progressive Scan DVD player and a Toshiba HD RPTV...

Greetings! In an effort to determine how "bright" I like my speakers, I have been trying to audition some Klipsch Reference speakers. Given my location (somewhere north of West Jesus, New Hampshire), auditioning of any type of quality speaker has proven exceedingly difficult. Nonetheless...

This is a follow up to replies posted by Bobby T and Edward J M. Other than the inherent characteristics of different speakers, another significant variable appears to be what type of receiver they are connected to. I am waiting for delivery of my Denon 3803 and have been doing some research on...

Hello all. This is my first post, but I have been lurking for a couple of weeks. I am trying to acquire my first HT set-up. First, I want to say how thankful I am for stumbling onto your forum. I have learned a tremendous amount just reading the various discussions. My specific question deals...
