I'm trying to protect my HT system as I accumulate it... obviously I'd rather not come home one night to a fried entertainment center, when I could have easily prevented this problem with a good UPS and/or surge suppressor! I have been having problems trying to find a UPS that not only has...

Wow, I hadn't thought about a ceiling corner mount before- that's (again) a great idea. It's a good solution to keep the bookshalves... I was worried about having to return my new investments already! I think I'm actually down to the last little bit of research I need to do, to complete my...

I guess the question begs to be asked- if I were to set up the room as per Jon W.'s design (which I can't thank him enough for, as it hadn't even occured to me), which type of speaker would be best for my application? Should I keep my OMNI 50's (which I was told have exceptional bookshelf...

(Sorry if it's considered tacky to double post, but I wanted to add this before I forgot) Looking at the ceiling of this room, the diagonal slope of the walls as it approaches the flat "platform" height of the cathedral ceiling, I suddenly remembered the speaker design that Mirage uses for...

Here 's the revision that Jon W. was nice enough to do: (I also edited his revision, noticing that I had included a confusing indicator to the height of the room, etc, etc. I hope he doesn't mind that the origional is only on my HD- Jon, if you want me to post JUST your image, I will... just...

A D-VHS player? Sheesh... how much did THAT cost? I certainly can't stomach the thought of laying out more then $20 at this point for anything similar to VHS tech! It might still be functional and practical for your family... but I prefer to find more high-tech solutions :) I just signed up...

I was looking at my brand new home theatre setup as its starting to come together, and I was pleasently supprised as I looked at my entertainment center shelving. All of my equipment is new and shiney, and some of it still has plastic wrapping affixed to the top- it's wonderful! As my eyes...

Best sub to accompany Mirage OMNI 5.1 speaker setup? I'm sorry to have to post one of these, as I'm sure they get tiring to read- but I've looked and I can't find a similar enough thread to really satisfy me that the advice was relavent to me. Please help me with finding a sub! Room size...

Okay, I read your post- and I put together another blueprint to see if I understood what you were talking about. Is this more like what you were talking about? This leaves room for the sub box on either side of the tv- and the fridge can easily be switched around to another location if...

Ah. Thanks for the info yet again. If I do decide to get the refurb 3800- it would be from an autherized dealer. It was searching on the AVS Forums that actually led me to find the offer. It was slightly scary to see the length of some of the turnaround times... but if I remember correctly, at...

Just like the title says, I've finally pulled the trigger on some good speaker deals I found. Now that i've got them sitting on the floor of my den, I suddenly realize that I have no idea where it's best to place them! My goal *was* to eventually have a very nice surround system... but given...

Definatly go with the 5.1. Mirage (Athena's big brother line) has the OMNI line that wound like it would help. Each of the OMNI speakers broadcasts omni-directionally, so placement of the speaker matters less when it comes to trying to get the sound to go where you'd like it to go. You could...

I think the competition will be a good thing. If there was instant agreement and only one format was used, the costs for the new tech would stay high until the public got SATURATED. This way, with two types in such close competition, they will both be bartering for every advantage. That's how...

Now I'm debating between getting a refurb Denon DVD-3800 (knowing i'll have to send it in at least once for repair), and getting the 2900. Is there any retailer that has an extended return policy? I was hoping I could just buy both... compare... and while my 3800 is getting repaired, use the...

I did the same thing... and I've decided to be a late-phase early adopter if I early adopt at all. The $1000 player panasonic plans to release later this year will probably only have a handfull of Blu Ray DVD's around... when the substantially more expensive HD-DVD unit hits the US shores, it...

Enders Game is one of my favorite books of all time... not because it's "good sci-fi", or because the subject matter is revolutionary to me... but reading this series just makes me feel -good-. Something about his style of writing relaxes me, and that's enough of a reward for me to enjoy...

I feel like a retarded little white boy playing it, but the true test for me to see if you have a *GOOD* system or not, is the song "Down for my Ni****s" by C-Murder. There's an instramental version that doesn't have the profanity for "safe" bumping if you look online... but it is THE test song...

If you purchased the parts from this store, that's too high. If they're like Tweeter- and they add a bench test fee to every item they install that you didn't buy from them- then that's pretty standard. I paid far more for my Viper install, but I also made sure I was there when the install...

Listen to it at both, and pick whichever you think sounds better. Who cares what -they- say... you're the one who has to hear it!

How did you get Best Buy (or CC for that matter) to let you audition those speakers? A friend of mine wanted to look at them last time he was buying some DVD's, and the manager of the audio section told him that because there wasn't a functional pre-formed display set up with those speakers in...

I'm also interested in the answer to this question... Please make sure to update with your sub choice- or even better, your thoughts now while you're deciding on one. I've got the 1014tx, and with all of my talk of speaker setups and seeing my HD picture- another member of my family has decided...

I'm sorry if I was unclear earlier... The tweaks I mentioned are related to the Sony WGIV TV that I have, and it's poor interaction with certain DVD players- not the DVD players themselves. Umr (I believe) is an ISF tech, and mearly published his results and "typical fixes" to get the best...

Ahh.. sorry about that. I was under the impression it was either Faroudja or SiL504- I didn't even stop to think that it might not be either :b I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a $600 Denon 2900. Now I just need to find that page with umr's tweaks, and then all will be left is...

Good info to have! It turns out, according to the guy who who's post I saw over at AVSforums (umr)- my Sony KDF-55WF655 is going to interact poorly with the Faroudja deinterlacers. I was hoping to find out which the DV-59avi was before I went shopping again... but no such luck yet. I'll have to...

Doug- That was almost *EXACTLY* what I wanted to find out... I'm not kidding that you included every little bit of information I was trying to put together. Before I started this reply, I had Microsoft Word open, and I was copy/pasting a list of features from all 4 Denon units to comb through. I...

I knew better then to ask this question without expecting that reply. I'm sorry to have made you type it- I'm just so exhausted from mentally debating what route to purchase that I hoped someone would make my mind up for me. To splurge now, or splurge later... that is my problem, and even...

Just like the title says, I'm trying to figure out which Denon I want to go with. I hear the 2910 is having lots of problems that the firmware isn't helping, and that it's actually better to find a 2900 or a 2200. When I go to investigate those two then, I find the 2900 is more expensive...
