| Need Audio/Video Inputs and Remote Volume ONLY Also, do you need to be able to switch hi-definition sources? I see you cited at least one HDTVsource. IS your projector 720p or higher? Hi-definition will limit your choices somewhat. | |
| Need Audio/Video Inputs and Remote Volume ONLY Do you need component video switching for all of your sources? Can't say that I've seen many AVRs or Pre/pro that are inexpensive and have three component (or DVI or HDMI) inputs. If you just need something for composite or s-video, there are nume... | |
| Good Quality Led Zepplin CD's do they even exist? Chadaudio816,-I might be able to explain the differences that you hear.

| Album which you have listened to most? Metallica - Black Album. | |
| Your "DREAM" piece Schröder Reference tonearm. If I could have the other half of the set up it would be the two armed Teres 255-2 with the Schröder Ref, ZYX Fuji, and Hagerman Trumpet phono. But I'll take just the tonearm and buy the rest myself, thank you. | |

| Killing the Myth:Soundlabs with SET 845based ONLY Aren't the Viva 845 SET amps supposed to be synergetic with Soundlabs? I know at least one person here has tried this very combination. | |
| Veiwing distance..... What I used to do with my TV (36 inch 4:3 direct view CRT) was pull my chair up so that I was less than 5 feet from the screen. Then I would just change the speaker toe-in to greater toe-in. But I still left the speaker distance alone (still 9 foo... | |
| Veiwing distance..... 5 feet for standard definition (seating distance is 2.0x to 2.5x times horizontal screen width for standard definition. 1.5x to 2.0 for high definition or 35mm) You might not like to sit that close, but for a real cinematic experience, these numbe... | |
