    Please review my 5.1 system before i buy.

    It is not that i have not considered svs, in fact svs was the first place i looked for a sub, but it just seems like i am getting a much better sub for the price by going with the titanic over any similarly priced svs sub. I could be completely wrong mind you as i have never heard either...

    Well, after reading most of the day it seems to me that the ascend speakers probably make the most sense for me, and sense i cannot drive somewhere to audition any of the online brands i think i am going to give the ascends a try and if i dont like them just send em back. Also, on the subject of...

    Please review my 5.1 system before i buy.

    Thank you all again for the replies i appreciate it. Looking into the ascend's considering how much cheaper they are compared to the axiom's why would i go with smaller rear channel speakers when i could just go CMT-340's all around? I just priced the ascends and for this setup: fronts...

    $1500 for lcd/plasma, please help!

    Thank you all for the help i appreciate it. The panasonic does seem like a great screen but i am a little confused about a few things. It is an EDTV and has no tuners built in, but if i plug in a high definition satellite box into it that uses dvi outputs will it be able to display the high...

    $1500 for lcd/plasma, please help!

    Thank you both for the replies i appreciate it. 42" does sound nice, but you recommend going with an EDTV over an hdtv in this price range? Also that link does sound like a good deal but after the $250 for shipping it is $1714 and i am not sure how respectable that retailer is? I can get it from...

Most of which is rock music and with the...
