    Portability of HT setup

    I'm looking into getting some better speaker wire then. We tried some inexpensive monster (strange to see those two together) banana plug terminators but the movers managed to pull out most of them. I like the idea of colour coded for the surround sources. Any tips on doing this?

    Basic Surround Sound Speaker Question

    I read an article online a year or so ago about surround sound speakers. It stated that they (the 5 or 7 satellites) should all be the same size with the fronts and center being about the height of the listeners ears and the rears being higher. Is this true (probably not a simple answer but I'm...

    After doing some research I found a couple (though not exhaustive) list. Denon 3808 Marantz SR5003 Different price points but the Denon offers more than I need (seemingly) and the Marantz offers pretty good balance for the speakers and input needs I have right now (from what I've figured...

    Another thing for consideration (possibly) is that I'm in a job where we move every 2-3 years so portability is important.

    Replace Subwoofer or all the speakers

    This question concerns the speakers we use in our bedroom. They are some that I inherited from my mom about 5 years ago. They were a set of 5.1 Mirage brand speakers. The sub quit working about a year or two ago and I haven't replaced it. The remaining speakers are 500B's and the matching...

    That's what makes this all so dangerous. My wife likes the electronic as much or more than I do. She just got a new iPhone this weekend;) I'm thinking a new HDMI switching receiver might be the simplest answer for us but I'm not sure that I know all the ins and outs. Less expensive would be...
