Help me choose a receiver,Rotel1550, Arcam 400 or Rotel receiver and B&W speakers here. They work fine and I've never needed more volume than the 75wpc Rotel receiver could provide. I've wanted more, but never really needed it... | |
What is your favorite tv theme song/composition? The Bob Newhart Show (the original series), but I was a trumpet player so I have a built in bias.SportsNight: "Snuffy" Waldron does the theme song, but I've never found a way to buy it..."Suicide is Painless" (MASH) is a classic. | |
Who is planning to buy the oppo-95 and...? What would be the things to consider in determining if the 93 or the 95 is the right player for my mid/low-fi system (Rotel receiver, B&W LCR's up front, 2-velodyne spl-10 subs)? I run analog 5.1 into the receiver from my Samsung BDP-20 (I hat... | |
Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch Any thoughts on the LG 60" plasma at Costco? Hard to tell under store lighting but it looked darned good when I stared at it for a minute or two last night. $1299! That's an incredible price but I have no idea how it compares to the other plasmas ... | |
the marantz sound...mid-fi avrs...vs Denon.... I had a Marantz THX certified AVR (forget the number, bought new in late 2000) before it fried the motherboard a bit out of warranty.

Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch Do the plasma tv's still have reflection issues? I have a lot of ambient light where my Sony Bravia IV LCD is placed (which is why I went with an LCD). If the reflection issue of the plasma's has been solved, I would consider getting one. | |
$6 Million Dollar Man? For $6 million couldn't he just hire live performers for music? | |

The Marantz receiver (2000 model year w/THX cert, forget the model number) crapped out w/ a blown motherboard and no replacement parts available right after the... | |
Electrostatic versus conventional speakers Weseixas, do they have to be 4-5' from side walls too or just rear walls? | |
Electrostatic versus conventional speakers Are Martin Logan's considered "electro-static" by you? If so, I think Ultimate Electronics and Best Buy's (gack) "Magnolia Home Theater" have those to listen to in Vegas (not sure, call first).Premiere used to sell Marin Logans until Ultimate star... | |
Advice needed for new HT receiver/amp Does the Denon have 5.1 inputs (and your dvd player 5.1 outputs and the appropriate processing)? If so, just run the 5.1 cables and no need for a new receiver.There is a Rotel 1057 receiver on ebay for a reasonable price right now (not mine), but ... | |
Is it time to switch receivers? Does your receiver have 5.1 inputs? If your dvd player has the processing built in (like a Sharp BD20U), you can run the 5.1 output and you are good. Just run the hdmi cable to the tv for video. | |
