    Denon 3808/Yamaha 1800/Marantz 7200/Pio 92 TXH

    I have B&W 604s, lcr600, and 602s theater with SVS cylinder sub. i have a Marantz receiver (sr4001) with Rotel amp. I also need to upgrade, and as much as I LOVE my marantz, the Denon 3808 is just too good to pass up. the Marantz x001's are amazing in every way shape and form. and the x002s are...

    Good $500-ish Receiver

    Don't forget Marantz. I bought my SR4001 for $500 and a friend recently bought his for $250 at accessories4less. could probably get an SR5001 or 6001 for around $500 too. powered my B&W602's and 601's just fine. I also have an SVS sub running off of it, with a Toshiba HD-DVD player and sony...

    Best overall integration head unit?

    I agree with the Premiere as far as CD decks go. If you wanna spend more the Alpine IVA-D310. Bluetooth capable, ipod ready with adapter. more upgradeability than anything else out there, and Pulsetouch. I have the D300 in my GMC Sierra, and a friend of mine bought a D310 for his car. I think it...

    XA1 upgrade issues

    Anyone have any problems with the new upgrade? My player won't read a lot of my discs when I load them (both HD and SD.) It does't even tell me. Just nothing happens. I have to unplug the power from the player and plug it back in because it won't let me shut it down. And it's all random too...

    Any discernible between 5.1 analogs out and HDMI?

    I own the Toshiba XA1, and I was using a Sony receiver (STR-DB830) with analog 5.1, and didnt like it at all compared to even optical audio, eventhough the receiver itself was horrible. I have just recently upgraded to a Marantz 4001, which has 2 HDMI inputs, and it is SIGNIFICANTLY better. (Now...

    HDCP problem

    I just purchased a Marantz SR4001 receiver, and my Toshiba XA1 works perfect using hdmi input and output to my tv, but my cable box doesnt work through it because it doesnt support HDCP, so now I'm really pissed that I have to use component video directly from my cable box to my tv and optical...

    MB Quart question

    A freind just recently purchased MB Quart QSC 6.5" midbass and 3.5" speakers for his car, and soon he's going to finish it off with a set of 5 1/4" MB Quarts in the rear along with a couple of 10" MB Quart subs. Does anyone know what kind of amp would pair up with the Quarts the best? I was...

    NEW HD-DVD owners: Please post your reviews here for members considering purchase!

    I had a friend bring over his PS3 shortly after its release and hooked it up to my 52" Mitsubishi DLP and watched X-Men 3 and Talladega Nights, and it was unbelieveable. A couple weeks later after getting tired of my Samsung DVD player I broke down and bought the XA1 from Crutchfield. The main...

    Can't decide

    I had been lookin a that receiver for a while too, and I might be able to live without the HDMI capability since I already spent $130 on the switcher. So now, is hooking up to the analog 5.1 inputs on the receiver from my HD DVD player the same as going HDMI as far as getting Dolby TrueHD?
