wow, Sam, you are all over these forums... I don't think we had any power surges- It was rainy, but not stormy, and I didn't see any evidence of a surge, but who knows- I do have my TV connected to a Monster surge strip- but I don't think it was more than $30-35- so definitely not the best...

i have my blu ray and HD cable box running through my A/V receiver into my TV (all using HDMI connections). One day after 2 weeks of working fine, the receiver stopped sending signal to the hdmi port on my TV (I then tested, and it wouldn't work on ANY of my 3 hdmi inputs on my TV (LG 55lm4600)...

Brennan: Please let me know- The website currently lists the IW550lcr as coming back into stock on: "Available ETA 11/16/13" I hope that some sort of misprint. I'm in the middle of this project, and I'd really like to get if finished.

The sooner it gets back in stock, the sooner I can finish this up!

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys- I will attempt to cut into the stud and see how it goes from there. I think the stud should be stable enough anyway as it will be screwed into the drywall at (at least) 3 different spots below my cutout anyway- and the TV is also mounted equally to the next stud over which will be...

Brennan: Thanks for the feedback- Can you tell me how much of the stud I would be cutting through? I thought the speakers are 3.5" deep- so I'm assuming that would be the 1/4" depth of the drywall that i would have left over. Do you think that would keep any stability in a stud? I know you want...

I assume you are talking about building a cabinet around the speaker that I already have- but bottom line is that I did the in-wall speakers to appease my wife so that the room would still "look nice"- and frankly, I don't think I could do a great job of building a "finished looking" speaker...

For instance- Would this be a reasonable alternative (that would sound OK with my current in-wall kevlar speakers): http://www.amazon.com/America-VK-6LCR-6-5-Inch-Lacquer-On-Wall/dp/B001DTLWBI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357316265&sr=8-2&keywords=6.5+kevlar+speakers

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I don't think sawing into the 2x4's would be an option as my mount is a dual-arm Cheetah mount ($59 on Amazon) that enables the TV to move out from the wall by about a foot, and turn in either direction (probably overkill for my room, but that's what it...

i have a budget of about $160 to spend on this one speaker. I actually have the OSD IW 550LCR kevlar speaker, but I just ran into one unforseen issue- my flat screen is already mounted in the middle of a stud, and I'd have to either mount the center channel speaker vertically, or off-center if I...

I forgot to mention- I'm also looking to use my "2nd zone" feature to be able to get audio to 3 other sets of speakers that I'm going to also put in the walls of my other rooms. I'll need some sort of amp and speaker selector to be able to manage the sound in the other rooms.

I'm basically a newbie to home theater- I've just purchased a relatively cheaper A/V receiver (Sony STR-DN1030) for under $400- I'm not overly concerned about amazing sound as much as I am looking forward to use the Bluetooth audio and networking features like the streaming music channels and...

Thanks for the reply- I didn't even receive my A/V receiver yet, so I can still return it- but I realize I'm not buying high end here (under $400 market), so I'm not expecting top of the line audio performance- but I was looking forward to using some of the features like the Airplay, built-in...

I'm a little of a novice at home theater- but I just bought a new A/V home theater receiver (Sony STR-DN1030- I liked the Bluetooth, wireless, and streaming music functionality, and thought it was a decent price at under $400). It's going to be set up as a 7.2 surround sound system in the family...
