    speakers?

    CDT's are very good, at least they seem to be popular on the BMW forums. If you find some name brand speakers you like, then I think Ebay is the way to go. I decided I wanted Infinity Kappa's for the front and back of my car and I saved around 50% off local prices by going the ebay route. I also...

    Leave receiver on after watching a movie?

    Weird, I was just thinking about this. Does the same wattage apply if it is in "sleep" mode. I leave my Denon 2200 dvd player, pre-amp and amp all in sleep mode. Before I got the pre-amp and amp a few months back I always turned off my receiver because it didn't have a "sleep" mode, at least not...

    Any suggestions for separates?

    Well, I've always had just a receiver and I wanted to try seperates. Someday I may go back to just a receiver. The way things are headed in a few years a receiver may be a full blown computer/media center. I really haven't messed with the Boston much yet. When you say EQ, are you talking...

    Any suggestions for separates?

    The OP mentioned Sunfire so I gave my opinion since I owned one. No doubt the Denon is great and I would probably get it over what I have if I could afford it but I paid less than $1700 for the Sunfire/Boston combo which was within my $2000 budget. At some point I may upgrade the Boston but it...

    Any suggestions for separates?

    I recently moved from my Yamaha RX-V1 to seperates. I picked up a used 200watt X 5 Sunfire amp and I picked up a Boston pre-amp when Onecall was clearing them out. I had planned to use my Yamaha as a pre/pro until I could afford a Sunfire pre/pro but I couldn't pass up the Boston at the...

    Best/Worst online camera retailers?

    I ended up going with Dell for 30D. They had everyone beat by about $100 and free shipping. I live in Texas so I had it shipped to my parents house in Louisiana to avoid sales tax. Even though it showed on backorder it arrived at my folks home in about 5 days. Love the camera even though I know...

    Should I upgrade? Add an amp or new receiver?

    Arthur, Do you have the PB12NSD? If you do, I take it you are very pleased with it. Just asking since I'm going to have to buy a new sub. I'm either getting a cheap one for my game room or moving my currrent 10" Paradigm to the game room and upgrading my main home theater. Thanks, Doug

    Should I upgrade? Add an amp or new receiver?

    Jimi, I've done the same as others. I've been upgrading since I got my first dvd player. I still have my original Yamaha RX-V795 receiver and Atlantic Technology speakers I got in the mid 90's. These will soon be running my system in my gameroom. Mainly be used for dvd's and xbox/xbox 360...

    What would you do? AKA, Please help!

    Well I'm cheap so I would just by a $100 boom box for outside!:laugh: The Niles setup is one way to go. I'm no expert and have never done it but I believe you good pick up a nice home theater receiver that could be used for your tv in the basement. I believe all the major brands make units...

    Need new, refurbed, or B-stock receiver for under $1000

    I know you said you were disappointed with Yamaha's in another thread but I thought I would let you know I might have my my RX-V1 for sale. I've got it listed locally but haven't had any luck so I was thinking of going with ebay. If there is any interest or you have questions just ask. Hope...

    Pre-amp or Yamaha receiver with sunfire amp

    I probably wouldn't even be thinking about it if I hadn't seen the close out price on the Boston preamp. The guy I got the sunfire from said he was running it with a yamaha receiver and he noticed a big difference when he moved up to the sunfire preamp. Of course he listened to a lot of music...

    Pre-amp or Yamaha receiver with sunfire amp

    I'm trying to decide if I should get a pre-amp for my sunfire 5x200 amp. I would like to get the sunfire preamp but I don't have the money for it. I have the Yamaha RX-V1 reciever which is their flagship from 5 or 6 years ago. I was thinking I should be able to get $500 plus for the reciever and...
