    Deal versus: $120 klipsch KSF 8.5 vs $100 Polk R50+Polk Csi25

    I have a pair of the 8.5s and am very pleased with them. They are used now as rear surrounds and work well with the rest of the system that is Klipsch. Gene is right that they are a love em or hate em type speaker (most horn speakers are), but properly setup and with good amplification I find...

    Klipsch KLF 30 vs. Def Tech BP 10

    I have the middle brother (KLF 20) and can say that they are a fine choice for movies. They also work very well with music, but having said that as noted above they are horn loaded and have a unique sound that some people don't like. I find it is a "live, you're there" sound which I like. One...

    How Much Did You Spend on Your 5.1 Speaker Sysyem?

    With the receiver and the sub about $6000, but thats CDN dollars. When I bought the stuff the dollar was about 75 cents so doing some quick math about $4500 USD.

    Receiver suggestion with Klipsch speakers

    I have an Onkyo (602 which is now a 605 I believe) and it sounds great with my KLF 20s. Nice warm sound, not harsh and it will play loud and clean

    Klipsch RF-7 vs Cerwin Vega CLSC-215

    I own a pair of the aforementioned KLF 20s Wonderful sounding speakers. It was a real shame that they stopped making them as I would recommend them to anyone. The RF7 come very close in tonal response. Having said that they are Horn Loaded which has a distinct sound. Most people either love it...

    Onkyo receiver feedback needed...

    John is right, and the 702 has pre outs if you wish to upgrade the amplification later or add a two channel amp for stereo music.

    Tiny dent mark in tweeter? Lose sleep? Cry? Forget about it?

    A true purist would say replace it. You said it sounded fine, so I wouldn't worry about it. Then again, if it bugs you to leave it that way, get another tweeter, carefully replace it and keep the one you took out in a safe place in case you cook another one. On that note, if you are frying...

    DTS dropouts

    When listening to a DTS multichannel audio DVD, At times the song "clips". It doesn't matter the volume so its not the receiver clipping, DTS encoded video DVDs are fine so the Toslink cable is OK, SACD works fine via the six channel output (Why DTS doesn't support that I'll never figure out!)...

    Let's talk the friend out of the Bose speaker system.....

    Tell him to get the HSU VT 12 and one of their subs. Haven't heard the system but lots of great reviews. I've got one of their subs (VTF3 MKII). Killer sub! The size of the speakers and budget fit the parameters given.

    Help a confused video noob

    I agree with Egbert. I was looking at LCD RPTV and loved the colours but that was about it. All of the other faults Stuck pixels etc. were a real disappointment. I went with a Toshiba DLP (52HM84) and love it. I can see the rainbow effect if I try, but otherwise no problem. Reasonable price and...

    HSU(VTF-3MK2) vs Paradigm(PW-2200)

    I have a VTF3 Mk2 paid $790 Cdn. Definitely the biggest bang for my buck. It handles music and HT well. Can't miss purchase.

    Looking for a budget $$ DVD player with DVD-A/SACD/HDMI

    My advise is to purchase a Toshiba 4960 ($200 Audio Empire Toronto). It plays everything. The only drawback from your requirements is that there is no HDMI input, but when you consider that a DVD has only 480 lines of resolution, I think that you would find it difficult if not impossible to...

    SCREEN SHOTS: 4 Brands Of Component Video Cable Compared....

    If you spend 10 large on equipment, then cheap out, unwilling to part with a couple hundred bucks for cables, you deserve what you get. Viewing HD material in person, I suspect even the most uninitiated eye would see a difference. Good Equipment deserves good cables. Cool idea though

    Will a HDTV with ASTC tuner get hdtv channels from cable without a cable card?

    You would still need something from your cable company (box or cable card). If you have an ATSC tuner though, why not just pick up the network channels over the air using an antenna?

    Paradigm makes the best subs ?

    Anybody that says "this is crap or that brand is crap" is full of crap. I e-mailed the guys at SVS and they were top notch in their service and recomendations. I would have bought the SVS (20-39 PC plus) except by the time I did the exchange rate thing, brokerage fees etc. it became too...
