so what's the *best* solution for the money right now? i've heard some talk of the panasonics...

well I have a JBL northridge 12" powered sub so the lows are covered by that, it's the overall dynamic of the sound that bums me out, for instance... the sony speakers do sound better overall on my onkyo 2ch, but if i put the bose 201s that i run on the onkyo (which sound absolutely great BTW...

it's not that the speakers are bad, they're low budget sony pieces and i dont' like them but they sound 2x better plugged into my 2 channel onkyo reciever... what about all this talk i hear of panasonic 300$ recievers, much better? i'm not in this for loudness, i live in a 950sq/ft apartment...

I just kinda "got into" this HT thing, currently I have a Sony STR-DE597 reciever with a JBL E250P sub and some subpar front/rear/center speakers... the speakers don't bother me ANYWHERE near as the audio quality of the reciever does peticularly during music. One thing i've always liked in...

I just got a E250P from deal-stop for 230.49$ shipped, pretty happy with it... running it LFE with the gain around half, sounds pretty good

I set the other channels to small, crossover setting is based on this and fixed, subwoofer crossover is inactive when a LFE source is used (i.e. subwoofer out in my reciever)... in 2 channel situations the reciever does not output to the sub unless i'm in "AFD AUTO" mode, which it becomes 2...

I don't really have any other options, correct... in "2 channel" modes, the sub does not play, but when i set my sources to "AUTO AFD" it will resort to 2.1 by itself, i.e. FM or my normal CD player

i use dolby digital or dts "action" dvd movies to evaluate performance i don't have a spl monitor, i need to rearrange my subwoofer and try setting the other speakers to "small", the crossover adjustment on my sub is inoperative when LFE mode is used, gain was set blindly to what i felt was...

i don't have an option for "crossover" settings, i think the reciever decides this on it's own, but you're saying the recommended setting would be SMALL for front/center/rear and letting the sub take care of it all huh?

One thing i'm pondering is, if i purchase a longer rca cable, i thought of putting the subwoofer in the lefthand corner of the room with the woofer itself facing the couch, which is directly parallel with the entertainment center (about 8 feet from the tv and 12-14 feet away from that corner i...

I just connected a JBL e250p to my Sony STR-DE597 last night, cable wasn't permitting me to get it in a corner so it sits next to my left floorstanding speaker (i have one of those simulated wood entertainment center pos's with a 27" flat screen in it)... the front speakers are floorstanding 3...

yeah i'm just using a yellow video composite style RCA cable for my digital coax output to coax input on my reciever and a standard RCA monster cable like what you'd use wiring a car system to my subwoofer.... just wondered if it was worth buying authentic "DIGITAL COAX" cables to replace these two

my question was more pertaining to my coaxial connection between the dvd player and the reciever, i'm using a cheap video rca cable for now, do i need to pick up some expensive coax cable?

nah im not in torch mode, brightness mid level, contrast below normal... i'm not an idiot, i just asked a simple question, WHAT can premium coax & component level cables do for ME over what i'm doing now for now it's loud, too loud for an apartment so explain

none of these replies are making sense, i'm already using RGB component video, looks great on my sub-ghetto 27" flat screen, my speakers are weakest link? everything's relative here...

I'm a home theatre noob, but a computer technician and car performance & audio enthusiast for quite some time... so i finally delved into getting myself a little home theatre setup, consisting of: -27" flat screen TV w/ svideo/component inputs -Sony STR-DE597 6.1 reciever -Pioneer AV341 DVD...
