| Poor Man's 2 channel HT--advice sought Cheapest fix I can think of; pick up a hifi vcr--for the tuner--then a used, older receiver. both of these could be had near 100 ea. then some speakers. The tv signal from a cable box or tv antenna goes into the vcr--then into your receiver--into ... | |
| Best Dual purpose HT and Music speakers 10k Yo-guys: Not such a bad thread. I have Montana ESP's,and they go both ways for me. Dynamic speakers are just such-- and work well in 2ch as well as HT.

| What companies have gone above and beyond? My first nomination Synergistic Research; then Monster Cable Co.Theta has always been good to me --just not as outstanding as my first two nominees. | |

| Tubes-Uninformed Buyers?? Yes,I guess that could be said for a lot of things; tubes included.--I have twice bought tubes that were just about doa. So,buying from a dealer should avoid that. | |

| 5 most overrated movies ever...... I think this is one of the best threads we have had in a while. I guess everybody comes from such different sets of circumstances(Thanks,Joni M).Different things appeal / or repel us; all--within the same movie. Some focus on one part of / others ... | |

| Once Upon A Time In... I have the LD version,and it is in mono,unfortunately. The Morroconi soundtract is hauntingly beautiful. This guy writes some beautiful music for movies.--I also believe the soundtrack "makes" the movie.(as in;try watching this movie with no music... | |
| Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping Rwwear--The difference "on the inside" would be --it would have the same wire--inside-- as the rest of the wireing--With an outside Y ;we are talking one brand of cable;another brand of Y .Seldom a great thing(understated) | |
