Alon, Greg, Mike: Thank you for your responses. I ordered the set I was mentioning. I'll let you know if any issues come up

Hello everyone: I am thinking of getting a Sharp Aquos 46D64U. Wondering if any forum members have a view on Sharp Aquos LCD TVs. I read something about a 'banding' problem. Is this a concern unique to Sharp? Thank you in advance.

Robb, Thank you for your advice. I will take a look. If it still doesnt work, I will have to call SVS. The pink noise test should cause the subwoofer to produce a sound, correct?

Hello everyone, I have an SVS PB12-Plus SW and a Yamaha RXV 2700 receiver. I briefly disconnected my subwoofer, so that I can run the wire through the walls, and then connected it back again. I was doing a routine test to see if everything works. I went to the setup part of a couple of DVDs...

John and Edward, Thank you for your thoughts. I am going with the Plus. Looking forward to it.

Hello Everyone, I am just looking to complete my HT with a subwoofer, and I have narrowed it down to SVS PB12-Plus, and PB12-Plus/2. The rest of my audio is DefTech BP7004 front, CLR2500 center, and BP2X surrounds and rear surrounds. Room is 22Lx11Wx8H. I mainly watch movies at moderate sound...

Hello everyone, I understand that there are very few movies to date that have been made with true 7.1 technology. However, as I am setting up my HT, I am doing it with 7 speakers. My question is: since most movies are recorded 5.1, how does the surround track get split when you have 4 speakers...

Hello everyone, I have a HT setup where my receiver is in the rear right corner of my 11W x 22L room. I have bought deftech front speakers with built in subwoofers. So, I will need some really long subwoofer wire. Given this: 1) Can someone suggest where I may be able to buy 40 or 50 ft...

Hello Everyone, My local store sales guy included a $500 Monster Power Center (model HTS 3600) in the HT quote he gave me (my total budget is about $10k). Do I really need to spend that money. They quote benefits like "smoothing" the voltage to my components?? Thank you!

Thank you all - John, Seth, Chris, Arthur for your insight. Arthur - on your point about the crossover frequency: I guess this must be an option in the receiver (I am seriously considering the Yamaha 2700). However, by setting the crossover frequency to 80Hz, what am I actually doing? Is it...

Hello everyone, Just wondering what the view is on placing a subwoofer in the rear of my room. My HT room is 11.5 ft wide and 22 long. I am thinking of putting my subwoofer in the rear left corner of the room instead of in the middle front. The SW will likely be an SVS in the $1000 range. Any...

Seth - pardon my ignorance, but what is the diff between an amp and a receiver?

Hello Everyone, Was wondering if someone could provide insight into what to consider regarding the impedance of speakers. I have been looking at a whole set of Polk speakers (LSI15, LSIFX etc) for a 7.1 system, but they have 4ohm impedance. I looked at the owners manuals of a couple of...

Thank you all for your input!! Just one question on the 4 ohm comment: Do you think that if I go with a receiver like Yamaha 2700 or Denon 3806, would they provide enough power? The store demo had the Yamaha receiver paired with this setup. Thanks again.

Hello everyone: Was seeking some advice on purchasing an entire set of 7.1 speakers and Subwoofer. My local store demo'ed a set of Polk Audio speakers as follows: Front: LSI15, Center: LSIC Middle Surround: LSIFX Rear Surround: RC60I Subwoofer: PSW1000B Question1: Does anyone have any...

Hello everyone. I want to get a HT setup in a dedicated room in my basement. For this, I visited a local retailer and he recommended the following: 1) Projector: Sharp XVZ3000. HD-DLP/16:9/1280x768 2) Screen: Dalite 87161V. 106 inch 16:9. Questions: 1) what is the practical difference...
