    Help running speaker wire through (under) carpet

    The time has come to replace the awful carpet in our HT basement. This may be a blessing in disguise as once the old carpet is ripped up, I can go in and run the cable on the bare subfloor and attach them to in-wall ports as would look best. Unfortunately, due to this room being already...

    FS: Two DVDO VP30s for the price of one

    Because the second one doesn't work so well ;) I have two DVDO VP30s that were used in my system for a few years. One of them works flawlessly, no problems of any kind. The second has output issues and has garbled video, so I'll throw it in for free to use as parts (or if someone can fix it...

    Big problem with plasma, any suggestions?

    My 2 yr old just chucked a marble through the front of the TV, nice crack and the TV now will not display (power button flashes red.) The crack isn't that large, but what can be done about this? Is it worth the price of repair, or do I need to get a new plasma? BTW, this is a Pioneer 50" 720p...

    What's the best way to clean a plasma screen?

    We just moved into a new house and I have no idea where the manuals have hidden themselves. Of course the TV is also covered in fingerprints. What's the best way to clean the surface without risking damage to the glass? I know that windex or such is very bad but what is good to use?

    Need to set up a second 5.1 arrray in the living room, speakers to be fairly small and out of the way. Three front (L/R/C) will be hung on the wall with plasma TV, two in the rear (LS/RS) will mount on ceiling. The sub needs to be fairly small and able to be tucked away next to entertainment...

    Will towers do anything for HT?

    I'm in the process of putting together a more dedicated HT in our (soon to be) new home. Right now I have an Outlaw 950/750 setup powering JBL S series center and S36s all around, with an SVS PB-12+/2 (so a 5.1 setup). This new home has the space for a projecter and just about any speaker...

    Best 5 speakers for HT (~$5k)

    Any suggestions? Been thinking about upgrading the speakers from the JBL studio speakers I have now to something with a little more pizzaz. Have listened to Paradigms, Magnepan, and a few others but what are the standouts? This will be primarily for HT uses (movies, video games, TV) and...
