I bought some "Audiophile" brand speakers out of a van one time, I know it was a scam at the time. I talked them down to $100 a pair, then sold them to an idiot I worked with for $200. Don't worry, that guy was a total jackass. A few weeks later I asked how the speakers were working out, he...

I suggest "Spoon" from the dave matthews album "before these crowded streets." It features alanis morissette on vocals, good rich base drum and best of all, Bela Fleck on banjo. Rich sound. My second suggestion is something by thievery corporation.

I guess my biggest question is, just for knowing, does excess heat have the potential of damaging my receiver? So you say it shuts down, is this a safety feature built into receivers or does it shut down because of failure?

I went to my local electronics store to demo the onkyo receiver I plan on getting soon. Music played for a while, then I felt the top of it. That bastard gets hot. Do receiver have any heat issues? I'm putting the receiver in a slot in my entertainment center and there will not be too much...

I think the Plateau F-series is what I'm going for, see what the woman thinks when I get home from work. Thanks for all the input.

Problem is, all of our furniture is very, very dark wood finish, think ebony wood, the darkest shade of brown before going black, dark.

I also agree with the 31". I couldn't give less of a shit about the speaker or stand color, but that is the price of marrying an interior decorator. It looks like the plateaus are the best bet. Originally I was going to get the TechCrafts in black, or the Axiom stands if I were getting Axiom...

Oh, these are good. The black base will not fly, sadly. Keem em coming if you can, THanks!

I've been talking to my wife about getting a theater system to go with the plasma we bought last year. I have it all planned out, then I show her the speakers, she looks and says "my god, they're huge!" Then I tell her the bookshelf speakers will go on stands, 24" tall stands, black stands. She...

No worries, the sub will be the next purchase after the first two speakers. And, at this point, I'm not too worried about the color, function over form.

Alright, I'm starting small since I currently live in an apartment. The receiver I want is the Onkyo TX-SR603XS. The system will be used 50/50 music and movies. I am starting with two speakers, form factor doesn't matter to me, I want good soundstage. I want to spend no more than...

What the hell are those? The woman can get over the color!

Oh, and a little caveat thrown in by my wife: the speakers must be silver, to match the rest of our system apparently. So, I assume I will go with the svs sbs-01 speakers in silver, although I do like the look of wood grain. Any suggestions on silver speakers? I am just starting with...

Can anyone point me to a list of speaker companies? I'm ready to start my home theater, but I can't find a comprehensive list of speaker manufacturers to do the amount of research I am comfortable with when pursuing my hobbies. I've obviously heard of the major manufacturers: Bose Sony...
