    New construction, pre-wired for 7.1 need help in picking speakers/receiver

    Those are fairly basic speakers in the general sense, if you are planning on getting the "staff" discount.. I would strongly recommend the klipsch reference and icon series. Both are sold by future shop and best buy. Keep in mind that home audio speakers like those are marked up HUGE. I used to...

    Simple PS3 Home Theater Question

    Also James, if you are only connecting your PS3 to the home theatre system then most HTIB's have atleast one toslink (optical) input for your PS3.

    Anyone have the Samsung LCD LN52A750?

    That contrast difference is right, plasma's have a substantially higher color than LCD's. If you're thinking of getting a plasma, I'd strongly recommend a Panasonic, if you go back to BB, ask to see the 50PZ80, its the 1080P model. Lots of people swear by the plasma's, and some swear by the LCD...

    Please recommend a 52" LCD

    Samsung 52A650 is a gorgeous TV, a little more than what you're looking to spend, retails around 3000$. But I know that price has quite a bit of room to move in regards to the price, depending on where you go. The LG Scarlett 52LG60 meets all the specs you're looking for as well, and a few...

    Please recommend a 52" LCD

    Samsung 52A650 is gorgeous, yet retails around 3000, but I know for a fact that there is a pretty good amount of room to move on that price depending where you buy it from. The LG Scarlett 52LG60 is another pretty nice choice to match your specs, it retails around 22-2300 bucks and other than...
