Thanks. Now here is another question... I plan to run speaker wire thru the wall. Once I have drilled a hole in the wall and pulled the wire thru, is there some sort of plug or collar that is used to dress up the wall hole?

Don't laugh, but I have two simple questions about hanging speakers. I just purchased 4 BIC DV-62si bookshelf speakers for a 5.1 system. 1) If I buy the hardware, is it okay to hang these on the wall? 2) Assuming that I can hang them, is it okay to hang them sideways? Or do they have to be...

Do they all play music CD's as well?

Your newest newbi is back for one last quest... I need a Blu-ray player for the 5.1 HT system I am building. The problem is, I know nothing about them or what I should be looking for. I am simply looking to play movies and hopefully play cd's on it (if that is even possible). Like to keep it...

Excellent, I will check them out. Question... Any chance I can limp by without a sub for a while and still get decent sound from what I already have?

Thanks to all the advice I have received here, I am almost done building my 5.1 HT for movies and music. Here is what I have ordered: Denon AVR- E300 receiver BIC DV-62CLRS Center Channel BIC DV-62si Front and Rear Speakers Now I just need a subwoofer. The Dayton was previously recommended...

I didn't get either. I have opted to build my own, which will give me a better system for just a bit more cost. I have ordered the Denon e-300 receiver, which had a crazy low price of $274 from amazon on cyber monday (it is now back up to $349). In the pocess now of figuring out which speakers...

Do front speakers need to be in the corners of a room? Or can they sit to each side of the center? If they don't have to be in the corner, I might cough up the extra for the Bic fronts.

That puts me in a pickle. I can see why people by HTIB. It is too late to cancel my order with Amazon for the Bic center, the DV62si's are taller than what I want and I would really like to buy new. If I go with something other than Bic, what am I risking? If I stay with a Bic center and get a...

Two concerns with Bic.. The size (would like to get something 12" in height or less)....and the price (the DV62si are putting me beyond my price limit). Just curious, do you suggest Bic because I am getting a Bic center? Is the Sony B-1000 a better compromise?

I just found these on sale. Thoughts????http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-b652-6-1-2-2-way-bookshelf-speaker-pair--300-652Many revierwers refer to an amplifier. Is it necessary, or would these simply wire into the receiver?

Update: I just bought the DV-62CLRS center speaker on Amazon. They are selling out fast, and with only a few left, I decided I better grab one while I can. Thus far, I have: Denon E-300 receiver ($279) Bic DV-62CLRS center ($105) I hate to cheap out on speakers. I don't need the best, but don't...

Not good. I live in the middle of nowhere and most craiglist items are a 2 hour drive, one way :(

After a week long learning process, I bit the bullet and bought the Denon E-300 receiver. It seemed like a bargain at $279. But now I need advice to complete my first home theater with the best possible sound, while trying to keep the entire package around the $500 limit. Is it possible to get a...

Lets say you are buying your first HTIB and you don't want to build your own system. You walk into the store and there are only two HTIB systems the choose from. The Denon dht-1513 and the Yamaha yht-599. Both cost the same ($500). If you had to chose one of these for your home entertainment...

You have taught me a lot in a short time. I have a hard time with the refurbished receiver, considering a new one is a little more and comes with a 2 year warrenty. Is refurbished any good? So this is what I have come up with. Tell me what you think... Denon 1513 receiver ($199)...

Whoa.. Just got blown out of the water with all that info. But I am glad you mentioned the 599. It's only $10 more than the 597. Guess I don't really need the "airplay" huh? Trying to keep the price down the best I can. It is our first Home Theater System and only looking for something that can...

You guys are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you. I am leaning towards the 1513A. However, I feel like a pinball and see that Yamaha YHT-597 offers an attractive feature of "airplay." Thoughts on the Denon 1513BA vs. Yamaha YHT597? Sorry for all the questions, but your answers are helping me to...

Many thanks. Good point about "when one thing breaks it goes in the trash." You have sold me on a system with a receiver. Onkyo looks good, but so does the Denon DHT-1513BA with Boston Acoustic speakers. Is that a decent system to consider? How does it compare to the Onkyo?

I am very old school and have no knowledge about Home Theater Systems. I want to get a surround sound system for our living room but have come to a crossroad on type of system to get. I have narrowed it down to two choices: 1) Sony BDV-E3100 (Blu-Ray Disc Home Theater System) 2) Onkyo HT- S3500...
