    universal remote question

    I'm wanting to get a good remote to control my HT, I like the Logitec harmony 1000. Is that a good one? I like the idea of the touch screen, but i don't like the fact that you have to get an RF extender to control lights. Any suggestions?

    Center makes a buzz sound

    I have a infinity cascade C3 center hooked up to a HK reciever and when I turn it fairly loud to watch a movie it makes a buzzing or humming sound. It has 4 connectors on the back, and the book did give a option to bridge. Do I need to do that?

    Flush-mount or Stand alone speakers?

    Are there any quality flush-mount speakers out there? Or is my only option free standing speakers? Best buy claims that Klipsch are the best mid-price speakers, is that true or should I be looking at something else?
