    My take on the Yamaha 2500

    Agreed. I am very pleased with the purchase and I think its a great receiver. The auto set-up is just not all its cracked up to be. It was the same with the Pioneer. I mean they sound OK but you have to use the manual set-up and the meter to get all that these receivers have to offer. IMO

    My take on the Yamaha 2500

    OK I promised that I would give you my impressions of my new Yamaha 2500. Now remember that I am not nearly as knowledgeable or articulate as many of the people that I have read reviews from so keep that in mind. First off I have the Yamaha hooked up to an Athena AS-C1 center, AS-B1.2 fronts...

    Did I make a good choice?

    Thanks for all the feedback and reassurance guys. I got my Fed Ex tracking # and I will have to wait until Tuesday. I will try to give the most informed review that I possibly can give for you all. The only thing I have to compare it to is the Pioneer. I am looking forward to the set-up of the...

    Did I make a good choice?

    Thanks John,I needed to hear that. I guess I have like buyers remorse.:D I really think for the money and service options it was my best bet.I have a Denon 2910 DVD so I strongly considered Denon but the lowest price I could find from an authorized dealer was around $750 and once again I would...

    Did I make a good choice?

    Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago I posted a thread asking for advice on a new receiver. My Pioneer 815 blew an output chip after only about a month and because I was an idiot and didn't get it from an authorized dealer I was stuck for repair bills. I decided to move it to the bedroom HT when I...

    Marantz 7500, Denon 3805, or Yamaha 2500?

    Well my worst fears realized. My Pioneer VSX-815 is down after only a couple of weeks and being an idiot I bought off an internet non-authorized dealer so now I have to fork out money for the repairs. Not sure what that will be yet but it has soured me on the Pioneer so it is going into the...

    Athena AS-P4000 Vs JBL E150

    I dont have experience with either of the subs but I have had experience with the Athena 225 that comes with the Micra system. I now have it in my bedroom HT as I expanded my main HT with an SVS and Audition series upgrades and I can say that the Athena 225 surprised me pleasantly with its base...

    Athena S-3C-1

    I own the Micra system and the AS-C1 center and B1.2's and I am very pleased with them. The detail of these speakers is amazing IMO. I would not hesitate to recommend Athena. Also I have found them to be very efficient, as advertised. Good Luck.

    Does HTIB's make anyone else's stomach turn?

    Hey it were not for the great advice from this and other forums I would have went to the dark side.:D I was all set to buy an Onkyo 780 and I found these forums and started reading and posting and I got the bug. Now I have a respectable Athena 7.0 speaker system, a Pioneer VSX-815, Denon 2910...

    SVS 20-39PC+ and Athena set up question

    I gave $520 + 58 for shipping. The sub is 1 and 1/2 years old. The seller had 2 of them and the other sold for $562 + shipping. It looks new. I was thrilled to get it. I had decided on getting an SVS PC for $599 new + shipping until I saw this one and thought I would see how it played out. I am...

    Bookshelf speaker wall mounts?

    Thanks for the good information. I am certainly going to try the stands first before I throw more money away. The first link you gave me did have one pair that clamped onto the speaker so it would seem that that wouldnt effect the rear ports as much. Thanks again.

    Creative ideas?

    Joe, I just got the shelf in yesterday. It seems very solid. It tilts slightly forward on my Hitachi F710 at the adjustment I chose to use. It has a few different adjustments. It is a metal construction and is vented. The only part visible from the front of the T.V. are two small pegs that...

    Bookshelf speaker wall mounts?

    Thank you for the links. How high should you surrounds be? I just purchased a set of 31" speaker stands because I thought they were going to be used for fronts but I found a pair of the F2.2's on Audiogon yesterday fpr $250 so now they will be surrounds. This is my first home theater and I was...

    Bookshelf speaker wall mounts?

    I was curious if anyone had any good places to find the wall mount kits for bookshelf speakers. I have the Athena B1.2's and I need to figure out how I am going to mount them when I move in to my new home. Thanks in advance.

    Floorstanding Speaker: Which to buy JBL E80 Vs Athena F1 Vs Klipsch R15s

    If you like the Athena F2's you can get the AS-C1 for $99 at Audio Advisor and you are still in your $500 budget. As stated it would certainly be best to demo all of the models that you have interest in and decide for yourself what sounds best. Good luck and have fun.

    I am going to call and check on it. It looks like it would work, although it says its not really for rear projection televisions. I think it will be fine. Thanks a lot.:emoji_thumbsup:

    Toshiba DLP bulb question

    Thank you all for the information. My Dad's main concern was having to get a service person every time this happened. As long as it is something you can do yourself it isnt much of an issue. Thanks again.

    Toshiba DLP bulb question

    I have a couple of questions about the Toshiba DLP sets. My Dad is considering the 72 DLP from Toshiba but I have worried him because I have heard from various forums that the bulbs go out about every 2 years and they cost a couple hundred bucks.Is this true? Also a salesmen told him that you...
