Speakers under $750.00...Preposterous Notion?
Not at all preposterous. While I have a fairly pricey main system by most standards, I have set up a second system (bed room), third system (beach house) and fourth system (Dad) all for total budget of less than $2K -- in some cases less than $150...

Will high price HDMI cable makes a difference?
My friend was using the stock HDMI cord that came with his satellite receiver. Image quality was poor. I suggested he upgrade his cable. He bought a $90 Monster Cable at Radio Shack (there was a cheaper Monster cable selling for around $30...this ... 
Anyone else regenerating A/C?
I have read this thread with great interest. I have an aging EP15A and have been considering the PPP for the reasons people discuss here (more outlets, better isolation) and a few other reasons not mentioned so far (has surge/spike protection for ...
