    Am I thinking straight?

    Alright, apparently I couldn't read the last time I posted :) Bob, I understand now what you meant about the HDMI 1.3 business. You're probably right that HDMI 1.2 or below won't just get cut off anytime soon. I do recall hearing about problems with the PS3 and connecting via HDMI 1.3 but Im...

    Am I thinking straight?

    Hi Bob, I appreciate your input very much. Your insight into the sound department seems quite valid and I like the 'administrator' in your name :) Although, I do have my own opinions about things :) On the sound front, I have no problem with you stating that the Dolby Digital standard will...

    Am I thinking straight?

    Hey everyone, To the great disappointment of myself, I have yet to purchase my home theater system. The reason is simply because I don't feel it is 'safe' to buy yet. Here is my reasoning: 1. 1080p (1920x1080 resolution screens). These displays have in fact been out for awhile...

    A reciever to match the SBS-01 5.1

    Hey everyone, Im looking for a reciever to pair with a 5.1 SBS-01 set of speakers from SVS as well as the PB12-NSD. I know barely anything about recievers but I've heard good things about Denon so I took at look at a couple of those. The problem of course, is that I have no idea what Im...

    $1,000 budget, looking to avoid HTiB, small room

    Hm, looks like the war wages on ;) I'll be sure to read a lot of reviews etc before I make my final purchase. Since it looks like both products have a lot of support Im sure either way I go I'll be getting a good product. Im having a problem with finding the products though. I live in Canada...

    $1,000 budget, looking to avoid HTiB, small room

    Hey Chris, I'll be living by myself in this 14' x 14' room. It's actually a room in a house we have so the only people I really have to worry about are the people living with me. They shouldn't be too troublesome :) I like the idea of the Canadian distributers because shipping and customs...

    $1,000 budget, looking to avoid HTiB, small room

    Hey all, thanks for the amazingly fast responses! :eek: Im leaning towards the idea of picking up those Insignias both Scott and Seth mentioned, the seem to be a great deal. Also, I like the idea of getting used to mixing and matching different companies/parts in the system as opposed to...

    $1,000 budget, looking to avoid HTiB, small room

    Hey everyone, Im looking to build a decent 5.1 sound system for my 14' x 14' dorm room :) The general consensus is that HTiB is not the way to go so Im trying to avoid that. My current budget is about $1,000 not including the cabling. For a sub I've heard lots of rave reviews about SVS, and...

    Newbie in the planning stages of small room HT

    Hey Alon thanks for the response :) The audio/video setup makes a lot more sense now. I was wondering if it was possible to split the audio from the video when using HDMI cables (ie: an HDMI for audio and a digital coax for audio) and it looks like this is the case. Thanks for the help!

    Newbie in the planning stages of small room HT
