I need help deciding between the two, YHT-450 and HT-S770 or if you can suggest any alternatives under $500. The setup must include the amp and speakers for the price, as these two do. I bought, set up and ended up taking back to Radioshack the lower end Onkyo (the one with silver finish) HTIB...

The best idea to accomadate all of our needs would be a HTIB system because my dad likes "all those speakers". However, my mom wants "black speakers" and doesnt want the included satellites to be "big speakers". The center channel to her is not defined to her as a "big speaker", however, so that...

We bought the Onk HTS-570 and some 16 ga speaker cable. Even used just for music it sounds excellent, doesnt sound "unnatural" at all as some people might put it. Fills the room nicely. The next morning my mom decides the gray color the system comes in doesnt suit her tastes. So we box it up...

Yeah well now it doesnt want to eject again. It worked fine the entire day yesterday. Do you think I should lubricate the gears that eject the CD tray? I'm hearing a creaking noise, sounds like they are getting stuck. I opened the cover to check for any obtructions, I didnt see any but I am...

Chris, Yeah I'll be checking it to see just in case. Technics makes such a well made product. The addition of the CD player to our old school amplifier, tape player, and tuner (all technics) is just great...I hope my dad likes it when he sees it tonight. Thanks Phil

I appreciate everyones help. Last night I ended up pulling on the sucker with enough force to make the motor move the tray out. I did that a few times again after it continued to get "stuck" after I closed it again. I also "blew" all the dust or whatever was on the cd tray off. Now it works...

Hello all, I just purchased a 5 disk technics cd player from ebay model number SLPD887. I hook it up to my technics amplifier, rcas and plug, and it powers on fine. One problem: when I hit open tray, the tray ejects about an inch, stays in that position for 8 seconds, then goes back to the...

From digitaladvisor: "Enjoy the ergonomic, space-saving design of Cyber Acoustics' affordable 2.1-channel PC speaker system...Includes 9-volt power adapter...Controls include a Power on/off switch, a Power-on indicator, and volume control. The system is PC and Mac compatible with a single...

I apologize. By no measurement am I an audiophile. Yes these are powered computer speakers. There are two satelites and one subwoofer. They are the pretty standard 2.1 computer speaker deal. For all the speakers to be powered, they must be plugged in via their power supply. What I was saying...

So because no one has a solution I am assuming this is impossible.

Yea Frank bookshelfs arent going to work because of their lack of aesthetic qualities, thats why I am asking will the Onkyo be in OK shape doing what I am asking it to do, and will it sound half-decent in both rooms the way I want to arrange it.

Hello all, Some of you I'm sure know me from the beach house audio bonanza. Now I'm trying to do something even more extraordinary. I have 2.1 speaker system from some no name I am trying to make use of for my room upstairs in conjuction with my tv and with my xbox. It is supposed to...

Has everyone given up because of my stupidity or something? Please refer to page 1 on the nitty gritty. I'm planning on going to get my dad to buy the HTS-570 (AKA HT-S8230) this weekend while we are at the house. Is this going to be a really bad idea? I could care less what the living room...

Ignoring what model I choose, what I proposed would theoretically work, right? The receiver would be able to do what I am thinking with anything blowing up? That is what my main concern is. If I do end up going with the HTS-570 I'm going to go with the HT-S8230 at radioshack since I've read...

Ok heres a new idea: Buy an Onkyo HTIB system-has the receiver and 5 or 6 speakers, depending which I choose. Lets say we choose the HTS-570. Devote+mount 2 of the included satellite speakers in the living room like my dad wants. Or possibly two satellites and the center speaker. Remember...

Nick I think two bookshelf speakers should do the trick. I'm planning on having 5 or 6 people at a time over, no more than that- I dont want to ruin the place too bad. My parents usually have over no more than a family of 4 at one time. The "main" room the music will be played is around 15 by...

Haha Eric, its not like its all fun during the summer. My parents make sure my butt is working, not just chasing women. Home theater is indeed addictive Marty, as there are so many options. If you have too much time on your hands it will solve that problem quickly. As I said before, we...

But I do need a separate receiver and a separate CD player, right? I didnt think they integraged the amp (or "receiver") into the CD player. If what I just said is the case from what people have told me, then the CD player I get wont matter much so long as its the same brand as the receiver...

Yes the all things I'm reading about the E30's seems to be good. I would have to drive 25 miles if I want the Paradigms, which I may or may not do depending on the price. I am going to check Best Buy and Circuit City to see if they might have the E30's or Infinities and if they might be on...

Wow guys, thanks for all the advice. What a forum! I think there is enough convincing evidence to stick with 2 BS speakers as opposed to a HTIB. So the Paradigm Titans, I've researched them and they've gotten rave reviews. If I hadnt come to this forum I would have never known they...

I havent actually bought the Sony stereo receiver yet and now I'm thinking maybe to just ditch the idea of the seperate components and just buy a all-in-one home theater system. I'm looking for one with either 4 or 5 satellite speakers, the subwoofer, and then a 5 disc changer (or more but most...

OK lets up to "$220 Retail" for both speakers. Is that better?

I hit the back button since I am not allowed to post URLs and my entire message has been erased. In a rush, so here is what the advice I need is, in short: Looking for suggestions on two bookshelf speakers, mounted 8 ft high, good bass for size, budget is around $150 for both, room size...

errr.. my price was a little off changing to $250 + S/H

I'm selling my Onkyo TX-DS555 Digital Receiver. I'm sure all the specifications can be found online. I found this site with user reviews of the product... I'm just a broke ass college student giving up his rarely used receiver. Link Removed I'm Asking $250
