Thanks for the response. When I said connecting directly to TV, I meant HDMI to TV and then toslink or coaxial to receiver for audio. May be that doesn't make sense, but your idea sounds better anyway.. I didn't know that you could disable denon's video processing on per input basis. No running...

Ok, I finally had a chance to listen to Atlantic Tech FS 3200s today. No luck with any other brands I considered initially or the ones others suggested. The local dealers don't have those specifc models available for audition. I liked the sound from 3200s, but right after that I listened to...

I just got a denon 3808ci, purely based on the reviews on this forum and now I need some help in figuring out the best way to connect all the components. I read a post by someone who said direct connection to TV worked better for his Wii and I'm wondering if thats true with any component. The...

thanks d, i just called them and placed the order. they also have 3 yr extended warranty for $29, sounded very cheap so went for it.

3808 for $1098? can someone tell me where? is that an authorized dealer?

I was pretty much decided on 3808 based on reviews, but again I started thinking about 2809 (replacement model of 2808) because its much cheaper. I'm wondering what are the main reasons people consider 3808 over 2809/2808 apart from the higher output. Pls help me decide. Thanks much.

Does it mean the quality of speaker wire at monoprice is not that great? Where could I find better quality wires if I don't mind spending more? This is probably a dumb question.. when they say 16AWG 4 conductor wire, does it mean each conductor is 16AWG? If so, then it would be like 8 AWG or...

I'm looking to buy speaker wire and interconnects, and wondering what to look for in them. How do I figure out what AWG I need? Checked with a friend and he says 16 AWG should be good for any room. Is it ok to go with lower numbers like 14 or 12 AWG just to be on safe side? Or would that cause...

Thanks for all the responses. I guess these are fairly new types.. that's probably why no real stories about them. I was hoping to audition Mythos at a nearby dealer but just found out that he only has other Def tech speakers setup but not Mythos.. bummer! I came across Paradigm Cinema series...

I've been trying to find people's experiences with flat panel/on-wall speakers compared to the regular/deep book-shelves or towers without much luck. As I understand these speakers are primarily made to go with the flat screen lcd/plasma tv's for better looks. My opinion is that when aesthetics...

Robert, Thats a great DIY site for in-wall wiring. I like DIY to some extent but I think this one is a bit too heavy lifting for me. I have a friend who is into all that, so I'm gonna check with him. Thanks for your offer, but I'm in bay area, California. After reading a few more posts and...

Thanks so much for the responses. As much as I want to understand this stuff and do it myself, I just can't. Because we want all the wiring concealed and that involves making holes in the walls, running wires through the walls and cutting sheat rock for surrounds etc. I have never done that...

Hi all, I'm getting a 5.1 system setup in our home, and am looking for some help choosing speakers. Talked to a home theater installation specialist who highly recommends Atlantic Technology or Niles speakers. I'm no audiophile but I think I can tell the difference between good and bad/cheap...
