Craigslist has the absolute best deals!

"Are you sure the Sony is doing bass management for the 5.1 ch analog inputs? I didn't see anything in the manual to suggest that it does (but I admittedly skimmed through it pretty quickly). Try letting the player do the bm and see if there's improvement (or not)." Gene. I am not that familiar...

Check out this new Thread! What speakers are well-suited for my receiver? This should point you in the right direction.

"It was so frustrating going into protect mode when it became too hot" Did you have anything sitting on top the unit? I know some people stack there Components on top the Amplifiers. You don't appear to be a person that would stack anything on top, but I just thought I would ask. My unit was...

The Primus do look Very tempting. Especially for that price. I love infinity speakers. Just did not like the old foam surrounds they used before.Sounds like the best deal so far. What is the Grand total price for the store bought set up Gene?

For what it is worth. I bought my speakers on Craigslist for around $450 and could not be happier. (:

John, Polk are very good speakers that are very reasonably priced. Just going by the amp and details of what you want in a system, you might look at this set up. This should run you just under a $1000.If you shop around i am sure you can get them around $800. The prices listed are from...

How big is the room you will be setting up the HT? What is your budget? Movies are not a priority so don't go with the 7.1 set up a 5.1 will do just fine.Carpet or tile? The center speaker is the most important because about 80% of the dialog will be processed through it, so you might want to...

Al is right. Speakers are the most important part of your HT set up. They will last you a very long time. If you are talking about the RM705 set, I would stay away from satalite speakers and go with Bookshelf. A good Bookshelf speaker will give you the low frequency needed for Music and Tru HD...

Hi, How big is your room you will be setting up your HT in? What amplifier are you using? Are you planning on buying the 5 speakers and the sub woofer? Just some info needed to give you the right advise.

No, I don't like them. I love them! (:

From what I understand Speakers should be the #1 investment when it comes to a HT budget ($600 for mine). They will last for many years with out having to upgrade. Electronics are allways changeing forceing us to upgrade to keep up with the latest technology. Speakers have not changed much over...

I should change this thread name to Sony Haters. LOL. I just thought that if I was to buy a new amplifier it would be one that is an improvement over the one I have. not a down grade. Like I said "I am Not a Big Sony fan" But it does Rock the House for now.

There are a lot of Sony haters in this forum and maybe for good reasons, but you can't honestly sugguest that I purchase an Onkyo TX-NR509 or the Denon AVR-1312 and it will out perform (More power and cleaner sound) the Sony STR V555ES. Sony must be putting lead in there receivers to make them...

Casey, This is very good information. I could not find the HT labs measures for my receiver online.If you can find it i would appreciate it. but exaggerated Specs holds true for all manufactures. The Denon 3312 is a much more powerful and expensive ($1,100) amplifier than the 1312 you had...

Thanks for you reply. Here is some Info on the DCM speakers. They are full range towers and shine with power. I am a newbie to this forum but not to Hi Fi audio. There is a big difference in clarity between 75 watts and 120 watts RMS when it come to playing Music. also THD comes into play as...

These are really good deals! But the amplifier specifications do not even come close to the Sony 120 watts RMS @ 8 ohms .05% THD I am using now. In my opinion this would be a down grade in sound quality.

I have done some research and Sony ES Model Receivers have a reputation for Sound Quality. What would a dennon or onkyo with similar specs and HDMI inputs cost? Would I hear a big difference is the important question? HDMI inputs alone are not that critical for me to spend $700 on. Sound is the...

What receiver would you recommend? remember, I listen to Music 50% or more. What price range would a receiver with the same sound quality as the sony be?

Thanks for your feedback. The receiver is 120 watts rms per channel at .05% THD. it is older with no HDMI inputs. But it has alot of power and great sound. My Blu Ray has analog 5.1 out so i can still get TRU HI Def sound. Is there another weak point in the receiver besides not having the HDMI...

Hi, I am new to the Forum. My room is 24 x 14 ft I use it 50% for Music and 50% for surround movies. I spent about $600 and it sounds like ear candy to me. Sony STR V555ES 600 watts 5.1 surround $50 2 DCM TF-600 for mains $125 2 DCM TF-600 for surrounds $150 1 Definitive tech C-1 for the...
