    Proud new owner of SVS - have a ??

    Due to space concerns, I'm having to locate the sub away from my other components. I guess the total distance will be ~12 feet or so. What kind of cable should I use? Do you know if they make cable in an off-white color? I have to try and bury the cable in the crack of the carpet next...

    ~$400 sub choices for a large room?

    I've got a pretty open floor plan in my house with no dedicated HT room. My living room is essentially one big room that spills over into the kitchen and has a formal dining area (part of the big room) in the back. If I had to guess, it's probably about 3500 ft3 or so. 28' on longest side...

    AVS wattage help

    So, I've got this older Sony receiver from a HTIB setup. It claims to have 100w x 5. Well, now I'm looking at either the Yammy 5760 or the Onkyo 602. Both of these only claim to have in the ~85w range. Actually, I know the Onkyo had 85, I don't recall about the Yammy, but I'm really...

    Which technology - DLP or D-ILA? Finally saw them both in person.

    Well, I've now come full circle (again). Originally, I was looking at the Sammy DLP's then I got turned on to the JVC D-ILA, and now I can't make a decision. I'm looking at the JVC 52" D-ILA and the Samsung 56" DLP (HLP I believe). I think the only thing that really makes me shy away from...

    DLP or Plasma

    Thanks for the input. I visited Fry's today at lunch and viewed them all and I have to say that for the $$ (I decided space wasn't an issue, I'll just buy one thing at a time) I really liked the DLP and the DILA with my vote going towards DILA at this time. I'm going to be researching that...

    DLP or Plasma

    Thanks for all the responses. Due to space constraints, it also might be better for me to get a plasma as I can hang that on the wall. I'm going to start reviewing some of the plasmas to see if I can't get a consensus on which are the top brands and best prices. I'm certainly open to...

    DLP or Plasma

    Hi all, I've been trying to really narrow down what would be best for my family. I'm trying to stay in the 3500 price range and I'm seeing that I can get ~50" DLP from Samsung for that price or I can get a 42" Plasma for close to that. My room doesn't have very much light control during...

    Center Channel Selection

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I will try out the speaker placement and the calibration for sure. I definitely know my speaker placement is less than optimal due to my current arrangement. Any idea where I could find one of the calibration CD's? Hopefully one day I can come up with an...

    Center Channel Selection

    Hello all, I bought a HT in a box type deal and all of the sattelites are exactly the same speaker. I want a little more diversity out of my center channel, so I figured I could just upgrade that 1 speaker and then it would fit my needs. My question(s): Is it a good idea to stay with the same...
