    power surge protector

    I don't know if you've decided or purchased anything yet. But here's my 2 cents anyway. The APC mentioned above is on the right track, I would definitely purchase an APC...but not the one mentionned by Nick. 1 reason. Do you really plan to watch TV while the power is out? Then don't get a...

    Connecting six televisions to two satellite feeds, a FiOS television feed, and a camera feed.

    Is there a useful purpose to even trying to set this up? How do you plan on controlling what each TV is viewing? Do you want to be able to watch a certain channel on one TV and a different one on another without multiple satellite boxes at each TV? This sounds like a confusing setup to me...

    Quickie: Which screen to match this projector in this room?

    Hi Dimsumfan, Turns out I'm looking at the same projector as you. My room, oddly shapped since it is our TV/HT Hifi room (not dedicated), currently has white walls and a white panel (dropped) ceiling. The panels aren't very reflective though. I know I can paint the walls, but painting the...

    Which Receiver should I buy? Help needed.

    Hey Andrew, Did you go with the H/K? I'm curious, in all your research, did you manage to go to a local Hi-Fi dealer to at least hear some of your options out? Most of them would let you bring in your speakers and give you an idea of what they would sound like. Let us know how things...

    The right power for your speakers

    Hi Ed, Thanks for the reply. I've decided to sell my Yamaha RX-V3900 and go with separates. I'll likely stil be running my speakers @ 8 ohs with my new amp. And yes, I am also getting myself a pre/pro. I'm thinking of going with either the Arcam FMJ AV888 or the Integra DHC-80.2. I...

    Buying my 1st 5.1 surround

    Hi Blade, I'm not going to spend time reminiscing about my first 5.1 setup...I'll get right to the advice part. When looking at your receiver, you want to ensure it has the features you want. THX certification, Dolby, True Dolby, DTS...all the good stuff. Make sure that your other...

    The right power for your speakers

    I've spent weeks now trying to figure out which power amp to buy. How many channels...How much RMS power output per channel and all the other valuable information one needs to make an informed decision. Though it seems that I forgot one thing. My Speakers!!! How much power can my...

    Thanks again John. I'm still considering the Arcam...I don't normally hold onto things for long and they end up on ebay. Kev

    Pairing the right separates: Integra DHC-80.2 and Arcam FMJ P777 - Opinions please!!

    Hi John, Thank You for your feedback. Now I'll probably have to figure out exactly what you mean by the "inane" bi-amp scam. The way I understood it, was that basically you'd have more power to the speakers. And I thought that was good. More power = less effort for good soundstage...

    Pairing the right separates: Integra DHC-80.2 and Arcam FMJ P777 - Opinions please!!

    Just a follow-up thought... If I was running a 5.1 setup, I could bi-amp my fronts with option #1. Any thoughts? By the way, my speakers are Paradigm Reference Studio Series v5 speakers. Thanks, Kevin

    Pairing the right separates: Integra DHC-80.2 and Arcam FMJ P777 - Opinions please!!

    Hello, I've read a bunch of threads and believe that I am reasonably caught up with enough of the terms and technology of Hi-Fi to make a decent decision. But, before I make that decent decision, I am hoping for some "sound" advice and any opinions you can offer. My internal debate on...
