    Need an LCR quick

    Thanks for those two. The mirage looks interesting. I'll look into that. I',v got my surrounds covered so the Yamaha doesn;t really appeal to me.

    Need an LCR quick

    I recently purchased an pioneer 50" which I'm going to wallmount and I'm in desperate need of a front sound stage so that I can actually watch it. Due to WAF and room design It's got to be an integrated LCR -undermount. Floor speakers are not an option and sidemount speakers will not fit...

    Thoughts on the 37" panasonic or alternatives?

    I was all set to purchase the 37" Panasonic when I went in to read the specs again - no cablecard slot :frowning:( also no PC hookup. These are not must haves, but would be nice. I was looking for others opinions on this set or alternative 37" displays with equal PQ - which of course is most...

    CableCard question - very Noob

    If I have a display with an integrated HD tuner, do I need a CableCard (or box for that matter) to recieve HD stations or can I just plug the cable direct to TV. I have another TV with and HD box. I'm asking because I'm hoping that I do not have to pay for two boxes or cards. Thanks.

    best bang for a new 5.1 setup

    My room size is long and thin - approx 12'x20'. Seating is at about 10'. Movies/music split about 50/50. Movies are the primary use of the surround sound. For music I normally just switch to 2channel. I'd like to keep the budget under $600

    new room set up help needed

    Yes, this is a secondary HT (I have another setup in a larger room). I want this to be a nice, but not too nice place to relax in a more cozy setting. I know everyone dislikes HTIBs, so I'm thinking separates. The speakers themselves need to be small. Fronts will have to be bookcase...
