I'm not exactly sure where this thread belongs if anywhere as this isn't really a dedicated home theater room problem; More of a "My house was built in the 2000s and the builders left a place above the fireplace for a TV to go, but it hurts my neck to look up at it" I was told by others that...

hey guys. here's my issue. i'm building a htpc for a tivo like pvr and i want to have my computer and other equipment in a room separate (bedroom or bedroom closet) from my TV and speakers (living room). i've got a video card with s-video out and DVI out. (ATI Radeon 9700 Pro) i'll have a...

Hey guys... I'm new to the whole HTPC world, but definitely am interested in personal video recording without paying for a service like TiVo. That, and I've heard that an HTPC offers far, far more options than something like TiVo. In any event... here's my setup. I will be using an Onkyo...

Hey guys. I'm about to dump a couple thousand on some audio equipment and am looking at getting Ascend 340SE's on the fronts/center, with Ascend HTM-200s in the back... along with a SVS PB-12 NSD (or possibly an Hsu VTF-3 MKII) sub. Will the receiver have enough power to pump the whole...

Everyone here recommended the SVS line. I've heard it is a great sub as well, but how does the Hsu line stack up to it? I'm in the market for either a SVS PB-12 NSD or Hsu VTF-3 MKII sub. Will primarily be using my theater for movies, gaming, and tv... only a little bit of music probably...

if i'm in the market for a mega dvd changer, about how much should i be expecting to spend (i can ebay)? the player itself doesn't have to be amazing... i just need component output and progressive scan really. but i would like to house my entire dvd collection so i'd say i'm looking for...

I'm debating between these brands and can't decide on which will serve me better. I'm comparing the whole XL-S 5.1 package (about $800 shipped) versus an Ascend Acoustics package that would consist of: 2x CBM-170 SE (Fronts) 1x CBM-170 SE (Center) 2x CBM-170 SE (Rear) 1x Hsu STF-2 or...

Hey guys. I'm looking to upgrade my rig (from Kenwood HTiB). I'm looking in the general price range of maybe $500-$700 for a rear pair, a front pair, and a center channel. What do you guys think my best bet is? I'm far from an audiphile and will not be using these primarily for watching...

just curious guys... i'm looking to get a new DVD player in the next 12-18 months (maybe sooner) and i was curious if there are really good players in the $200-$250 range. i'm thinking about skipping this and just getting a playstation 3 to do the trick when it comes out. i don't know much...

Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new reciever. I'm looking to spend no more than $500. I want multiple component inputs for digital cable, dvd player, etc. I'll also want to use my system to listen to XM radio, but the reciever does not have to be XM ready, persay. I should note that the...

Okay... let me just say I've read some great stuff on here... but not as much on my scale and price range. I just purchased a new 1 bedroom bachelor pad/medical student condominium that is set for completion later in the year. Though I will be busy, I still want to have a nice place to sit...

I was just curious... I'm about to get XM radio and am leaning towards the Delphi MyFi. Was wondering if anyone had any comments on this piece of hardware. I will use it as a portable (between classes on my college campus) and some in my car. Also... I was wondering if the subscription fee...
