Thanks for the reply, The difference is I need it to go into my receiver because the receiver is the audio out and the video in. This box could work but the audio and video cables aren't up to snuff. Ideally, I'd like at least optical for audio and hdmi for video. This one may work but I'm not...

So I did my own wiring job to my wall mounted LED TV. Because it's wallmounted I don't want to have to use the coax on the back of the TV. Is there a box that I can connect to my receiver (Onkyo RC360) via HDMI and use that box as the antenna tuner to get Network TV? I don't have cable, only...

I'm going with a paradigm separates 5.0 build (~$600) and the Onkyo RC360 (~$300): Fronts -> Paradigm Micro V.6 Bookshelf; Satellites -> Paradigm Cinema 90 CT Bookshelf; Center -> Cinema 200 Center (apparently this series is new). I'll get the sub later. Should I stick with Paradigm or go Lava...

I'm going with a paradigm separates 5.0 build (~$600): Fronts -> Paradigm Micro V.6 Bookshelf; Satellites -> Paradigm Cinema 90 CT Bookshelf; Center -> Cinema 200 Center (apparently this series is new). I'll get the sub later. Should I stick with Paradigm or go Lava for the sub? Thanks, JOe K.

What about the Martin Logan MLT-2's or the Def Tech 60.6's? Thanks, JOe K.

Thanks! More than one person has suggested the Fluance. My only issue with those is that they are towers and I don't think they'd look nice in my living room. Are those bookshelf ones wall mountable?

So I just put gene c. through ringer. He warned it's easy to get carried away: he's right... (and I'm sorry) What started as a comparison of HTIB systems from Best Buy turned into getting a set online then building a set part by part online. I think I found the receiver I want (Onkyo HT-RC360)...

What about MartinLogan MLT-2 5.1 for $330? That seems like a good deal right?

What have I gotten myself into!!! I just talked to a friend and he convinced me to go for a good receiver and then two really nice fronts. He said then save and get a good sub. Then buy a good center and two rears. What would you recommend over a time frame Immediate 550 to get started: 300 for...

I guess while were at it: RC-360 OR AVR 1611 I'm leaning toward the 360 but I suppose whatever is best. They are both 300 from varying vendors. Thanks for all of your help, JOe K.

I can't do floor standing. Which would you pick between these 3: A340PDD.3 (Silver) for $200, BA CS2310B $250, or the HT-540's for $180 I'm finally narrowing it down. I no longer have my heart set on 7.1 Thanks, JOe K.

If AC4L has been around for years then I'll treat them as reputable. They have some decent reviews online: more good than bad. What speakers would fill out that RC360? Should I build a 7.1 speaker set instead of looking for a package? Also, how does the 7.1 work when there is only 5.1 input? Do...

How is AC4L? Are the refrub-ed systems as good as new? In your opinion. Also the RC360 too good for the HT-540 system. What does that mean? Also, is it worth 7.1 if I have decent space (15') between the wall and the couch? Thanks, JOe K.

Alright guys: I think I narrowed it down. Any objections to going with the Onkyo HT-RC360 and the SKS-HT540's?

I like the idea of 7.1 because I'm going to have a 10 to 15' distance from the rear wall or is that too far? Thanks, JOe K.

Awesome! Thanks guys. I'm probably going to ditch the BestBuy idea. I'm glad I posted something. Which package would be the best relative to price: Onkyo 508/HT-540 7.1 ($350) Denon 1611/BA CS2310 5.1 ($500) Denon 1611/Jamo A340PDD.3 5.1 ($500) I'm getting closer! Thanks again, JOe K. P.S. Are...

Does the Yamaha have the Audessey (off a preliminary search I'd say, no)? I know the Denon does. Does Audessy make a large difference? Perhaps I'll make the guys at Best Buy set them up proper. They have composite audio going into the system from a DVD player. Thanks, JOe K.

so the denon is worth the extra $200?

Which HTIB would you choose? Onkyo HT-S3400 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Onkyo+-+660W+5.1-Ch.+3D+Home+Theater+System/2872102.p?skuId=2872102&productCategoryId=pcmcat167300050040&id=1218359084850 OR Yamaha YHT-495BL...

I am super satisfied with the picture on this TV. It is my first HDTV so I am still getting used to the bars on the side and top depending on the resolution. What I have found untenable is when I am watching a widescreen movie through HDMI on my upconvert DVD player. I was watching Vantage...
