The cost to the manufacturer is much less than $250. You see cheap ass HDTVs with built in HD tuners. I can't imagine a $350 HDTV has a $250 tuner in it.

I was looking for the same thing. They don't make them yet, but I guess this spring they will start as it will have to be a digital tuner. You can either get a HD DVR or just settle with SD on a DVD recorder. I opted for a toshiba d-r5 with a SD tuner and then planning on getting a HD DVR box...

Is it sold yet?

Your reciever is fine as long as you like it. They are probably just trying to get you to buy a reciever from them as well. Personally, I can't tell much of a difference between recievers, they all sound about the same. Some have more features or a higher power rating, but that's the main...

Ecost is selling refurb onkyo 503s for $180 shipped in the US. I just ordered one of those so it should hopefully be here in a couple days. I've ordered stuff from ecost before and it's always been a decent experience.

I currently own the SX-HTB from fluance and really like it. I also built a 250 watt 12" AA Assassin sub to go with it and it sounds great. You can find the fluance sets going on ebay for decent prices and that's what I was originally going to buy. But I also want somethign a little different...

I have never heard of them either. I would make sure to buy from an authorized dealer so you get a valid warrenty. Spending a little more now is worth it. I just ordered a TV from etronics last month. Got a good deal and it's got a full warrenty. Abe's is another authorized retailer that has a...

The SS are superior subs, but whether or not they are worth it is up to you. I think you would be happy with the daytons and you wallet would be a lot happier. But if you want the best, go for the SS.

Comparing $300 to $1k is quite a difference. It's like saying a 6 cylinder mustang is a crappy car because it get's it's ass kicked in every regard by a corvette that is 3x more expensive. The corvette is a better car, but not everybody can afford(or want to spend their money) a corvette...

Seth, you are quite misinformed when it comes to the 360. While MS is planning on releasing a HD-DVD add on this holiday season, it is not know what it will use to output the signal. Nothing has been confirmed about a HDMI connection. Also, it WILL NOT be used for gaming in any way. No games...

John, I'm working with Jason on the Athena package but I don't have the authority to write the check. It's a great deal and now it's just to get through the red tape.

I live in Ames Iowa.

We have a second set of "party speakers" but I just want something that will stand up well. They won't be abused much, but they will be used a lot. People are always watching movies and or TV. I'm wouldn't mind a decent 5 speaker sat set that I could add a sub to later. Shoot, I think I have...

Hey, I'm looking at spending no more than $300 shipped for a set of 5 speakers. I know it isn't much, but it's all that I can spend. I don't know what I'm gonna power them with yet, probaby a Denon 1706 or Yammie 559. These are for a frat house so they're gonna get run pretty hard but they still...

Which corner it goes in won't make much of a difference in a square room, but there is a difference as to where you place it(in a corner, in the middle of the room, against a wall not near a corner, etc). I don't know too much and my crappy memory makes it worse, but if I remember right, you...

If you're up to it, you can build yourself a pretty decent sub for not a whole lot of money. You can make a ported 250 watt 12" AA assassin sub for about $250-300.

With slate floors and a wall of glass, I can't imagine the room modes and boominess that is bound to happen. You probably want to budget in a feedback destroyer or a different quality eq. As far as foreward vs downfiring, there shouldn't be much of a difference. The advantage with downfiring is...
