Price Lowered: $900 Shipped

Selling my anthem mca-30 (silver) In perfect condition - 9/10 on a'gon scale. Have to move (again) so I need to streamllne a little. Asking $1000 shipped. Would prefer local san francisco bay area pick-up but can ship to lower 48 states. Thanks!! Christian [email protected]

I'd check out club rotel... From what i've read, it sounds like the fuse blows if the 1080 is hooked up with the trigger. I'm not totally sure, but post a thread there and I'm sure you'd get your answer (and then some :)) Christian

is the anthem still available? Thanks Christian

I'm kind of in the same boat as you... I haven't really been keeping up with the developments with the next-gen stuff as of late but I decided to take the dive when hd-dvd/BD stuff becomes easily/widely available at my local blockbuster. Hopefully by then the format war (if any) will have...

Interesting to here from someone who has had two of the most prominent internet brand subs.... This puts a twist into my decisions - BLAST!! :) Thanks james Christian

Sorry, I didn't look at your collection but I have recommendations none the less :) I dont think I saw: Blackhawk Down (superbit) - DTS - very good especially the helicopter ride(s) Underworld (superbit) - DTS - has great surround effects Day After Tomorrow - DTS track yet again. Great...

I had the chance to listen to the Beolab 5's once... Very impressive - to me at least :) LOTR:Two Towers was freighteningly real and in-room bass response was utterly flat - wow.

I dont think I understand why you would need a dedicated machine to run iTunes... Unless there are some major proximity issues, there should be no need to use a dedicated comp to stream only music.

I just hook my up my iPod to my receiver through the line-out on the iPod's dock. Works fine. Your other option if you want to stream music is you could get the Apple Airport Express unit (if you use iTunes of course).

You could probably pick up a very nice ascend acoustics speaker arrangement, a HSU or SVS sub, and a HK, Pioeer, Onkyo, or Yamaha receiver for ~2k +/- a few bucks. I would bet it's better than any HTIB... Paradigm does make some very nice stuff though. Good luck!!

Well put albert - nice. Personally, I can hear the difference between receivers in different price brackets. Kinda sucks cause upgraditis just kills your bank account. More power to you if it doesn't make an audible difference :)

The onkyo and denon you mentioned are excellent receivers. The onk I believe is also a 7.1 receiver... Should you buy a receiver that is THX certified? Well, it's not necessary. I have the onk nr801 (THX Cert) and although it can play loud and clean I have found the THX post-processing has...

Chuck is right with what he said. Also, Bose = :thumbsdown: for price/performance and many seem to agree. Also, negative on the all-in-one. It's nice b/c it's all-in-one, but come upgrade time (or worse, upgraditis), you have to can the entire thing. This could cause problems. Again, like...

HA! OMG... Geoff, that was pretty great. (sounded very professional as well I might add). Well done. I just wanted to look at the pics of that beast - very nice indeed. Man, I need new toys. later

HTM is good. My girlfriend has a Harmony 659 that she programmed all by herself in less than an hour - macros and all. She's tech savvy but it still says something about the simplicity of its setup. The thing works great too.

All these guys have excellent advice. Just go out and listen/educate yourself. Recommendations? Ascend Acoustics get awesome reviews from owners and wont break the bank. That Pioneer 1014 is a steal for what it can do. HK and Denon are options as well. Velo, SVS, HSU all make very good subs...

Interesting stuff. I wasn't aware the unit in the rocket sub could be purchased seperately... I did know about the sing PEQ on the svs but I was looking for something more along the automatic lines. Curtis - yeah, that's the press release. Kind of vague but nevertheless, it could be...

Anybody know of the possiblity of svs making/releasing a dsp powered sub? Something along the lines of the axiom ep500/600? I also heard that HSU is working on such a project. Or perhaps a single band PEQ such as on the rocket UFW-10. Would be awesome....

Receiver sounds like your best bet. Like john said, speakers will make a bigger improvement but updating the source of sound output will also make a big difference

I'll vote for the JBL speakers. With the prices on them right now it could be a tough act to follow...

I had the chance to listen to a rotel/paradigm reference combo a couple of times...wow :) There is probably better and maybe better for less but from what i heard, it was pretty damn nice. Same amp as you have listed only the speakers were the 60's. ROTEL is my vote Have fun

I've got the 801 and although it's older than your 702 it's pretty much the same thing, plus or minus a couple of things. I've got some polk rti100's hooked up to them and even tried by buddy's rti150's... The thing can play pretty loud and clear. See if the paradigm dealer will let you...

I recently helped a buddy of mine put a system together consisting of jbl e30's for fronts, ec35, and e10's for surrounds along with a svs pb10. To get to the point, it's pretty intense for they kind of money all that stuff cost him - peanuts. It's also in a fairly oddly shaped room that is open...

I've had two Onkyo receivers over the past few years (600 and 801) and they have been nothing but trouble-free and sound great. Friends have various Denon's and they have had no problems either. Different sound characteristics from each receiver however - Denon seems to bit warmer whereas the...

Selling my HT set-up consisting of Polk speakers and an Onkyo receiver. Polk RTi100 (1 pair) Polk RTi28 (2 pairs) Polk CSi30 (1 speaker) Polk PSW-404 (1 sub) Onkyo tx-nr801. All speakers are roughly 1.5yrs old and in absolutely perfect shape. Onkyo receiver was purchased when it was...

You could look into an Onkyo or Denon. I've got an onk nr-801, and while not a $300-$500 receiver, it does sound very nice and the 'lower end' onks sound much the same with hardly a difference. Look at a sr-602. It has DD, DTS/ES and all the usual suspects as well as zone 2. Denon also has their...

I've got last years sony hs510 34" model and I love it. The XBR is a pretty amazing set once you fiddle with the settings on it - it would be hard to beat unless you bought a lower priced set and had it professionally calibrated. That said, mine is not professionally calibrated but is with Avia...

My vote is for the H/K. Totally different league than the Panny. Some friends of mine have H/K products and they sound fantastic. To me, the panny seems more like a HTIB setup when compared to the 635. Also, not to get off-track... MikeyGA, how do you like your swans? Same with the svs? I'm...

I'm with John. THX merely extrapolates a 5.1 signal putting it into 7.1. I've messed with it on my 801 (set up for 7.1) and results have varied with different movies depending on the encoded track (DD/DTS). For some reason, and it may be my imagination, was that THX post-processing on a THX...
