I think he wants the dimensions and such for it. But I might be wrong.

In todays age, go with the 1080p. But yes you have to look at contrast ratio and lumens as well. The higher the lumens the better it is to see in day light, basically. There is actually a formula that you can use to find out how far back you need to set the projector to the size screen you have...

A HTIB is better, in my opinion. A sound bar simulates true surround with delays and such. For a HTIB, I would recommend Onkyo. I would just upgrade the wire that comes with it to 16awg or better.

The other thing is are you trying to play the system so loud it can not produce it. Most HTIB do not play thunderously loud. What do you concider loud? Are you trying to reach true theater loudness?

Most house that are prewired for sound have 16 guage wire. This is what I use unless I run a dedicated theater, which I then use 14 or 12 guage. I use these guages for dedicated amps for towers. The size of wire does make a diffrence in sound to a good speaker. If you get something like the...

That is why I use RTI remotes. Yes, although very expensive, I have not had any issues with reliability. I not only use one for myself, I use them in the field. Another good choice would be URC. You would want to get something like the MX980 or something like that. I have replaced many Harmony...

Unfortunately , to timbre match your fronts, you need to stick with Bose. Unless you just get new speakers.

Klipsch does make a very good in-wall sub. I actually installed 2 of the dual 8s in a customers house and he fell in love with it. Dont worry about not know what to do. Most of these guys will help you out.

Both systems are good quality. Listen to them both if you can. Trust your ears.

It shouldnt really matter unless your ears tell you diffrently. I know I will get the whip for saying this but in my opinion, trust your ears not what the computer tells you. A computer read out can get you close to perfect, put trust your ears.

And you're probally not going to. Even with "wireless" you still need wires of some kind there. Electrical or whatever. And most often then not, the wireless are not as good sounding as the other speakers.

This is true. I was only asking so I could see if I could find that info for him if he couldnt find it.

The first questions answer is yes, you can set up the AVR to do that...HDMI for video and digital for the audio. And for the second, as far as I know, most AVRs have a headphone jack in the front, and it doesnt matter what your source is...digital or analog. Any good AVR in the price range your...

I would have to agree. The Onkyo system is a basic some what quality set up. And trust me when I say we all know what a small budget is. It has taken me 5 years just to get what I have and that aint much. I have a wife, kids, a home, 2 cars, ... shall I go on...

Energy is actually owned by Klipsch now. I thikn you will like the sound of them better than the Pioneers.

ANYTHING is better than Bose.

If budget is a concern, why dont you just try the 25's for now until you could afford to build or get something you want. The 25's are not that bad a speaker. This way you could upgrade later and have enough dough to do it all. I wish I was given some speakers.

How are you hooked up, HDMI? And is it only on the Blue-ray or is it on the cable box? Now I have ran into this before on DirectTV or Time Warner( Cable Box ) with running HDMI only. If I ran HDMI for picture only and then did the digital out for audio ( coaxial or toslink ) to the AVR,the audio...

What 8 inch sub are the specs for?

You are right about the.... "When I bought the system it was about $130 so I realize it's not going to be mind blowing sound but to have to raise it to 50 volume just to hear people talking at a reasonable volume seems crazy." But unfortunately your kinda stuck with it. Sony doesnt have that...

If you want true hi-fi...get rid of the Bose and go with something better. Heck....a home theater in a box from Onkyo sounds better and actually gives you better response than the Bose. If you go with a HTIB, get rid of the small guage wire and do a minimum of 16 guage.

You can find more on Dayton speakers and designs with them and other speakers at www.partsexpress.com . Look at their tech talk forum as well as their showcase. Wayne's page has not been updated in a long time but has very useful info on it. I could give you about 20 diffrent websites that deal...

There is a good source of info on speaker building on www.diyaudio.com .

Most AVRs only output about 35-45 watts continuously. Having the volume at around 3/4 of the way means you were probally clipping the amp but didnt know it. The 100w x whatever channels is the peak wattage for a split second not continuously. Basically with the AVR at about half way is what your...

Although I would not of bought the Sony AVR, I have looked into the manual of your Sony and can not find any info on how to connect the passive sub through the Sony itself. However, if you bought a seperate monoblock or 2-channel amplifier you can use the regular sub output on the receiver. You...

Need pics to see if possible. I am a custom a/v installer and I NEVER have seen or heard a good pair of wireless speakers. Also, most TV manufacturers do not put good speakers on their tvs anymore.

Have you concidered in-walls for your fronts and in-ceilings for your rears and surround rears? Nothing beats physics but the industryis leading to in-walls and inceilings for mainly 2 reasons. People are not wanting to see the speaker and interior designers think they are not the "in" fashion...

I would agree with Anderson with the results of not enough power. However, instead of scrapping your AVR, why dont you add a external amplifer. There are plenty of good 5 or 7 channel amplifiers out there. If you want to try building your own towers, there are plenty of good designs out there...

Could be a couple of things. Most of the time it is a grounding issue.
