Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?
Waldner123's feelings are hurt. Sorry. Desparate attempt to discredit an accomplished HT designer, and more experience audiophile to boot!...ehem. Good try, no-one's biting Waldner! Also, you didn't answer my claim to your HT experience. So that a... 
Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price"
As for someone loving their Bose system, that's great! It's all just "toys", "stuff", and things...it's to be enjoyed. One person loves eating at McDonnalds all the time, vs. a dinner at WolfGang Puks. However, when you get into this stuff as a Ho... 
Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price"
Maineiac, what would be better separates that meets the criteria, including IC's for $k?...Um, a used (new $600, used $300) 6.1 Yamaha receiver, driving a used Outlaw 100x7 ($500-600 used), with 4 pair of Harmonic Tech Percision Link at $50/pr use... 
Which is the correct minimonitors position ?
All of this is irrelative if the speakers are placed so they don't sound good to start with! Mainly, I'm talking about a "bass issue". You need to place the speakers where they're going to couple properly with the room/listening possition, for fla... 
Receiver Upgrade - Denon vs. Rotel
"Your Paradigms are pretty efficent so you don't need a lot of power but, having owned the 40's in the past I know the more current you give them the better they sound" (Eldorado)Wait...so you're advocating not needing a powerful reciever, unless ... 
Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?
Actually Aaron, I don't use active systems in all but the more expensive all out systems. Mostly, I use "meat-n-potatoes" typical monitor speakers, with good gear combos, sometimes even receivers, yes!...there I said it...ehem.Bottom line, most pe... 
Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price"
Cool!...about the Haggendaz story that is.Well, it may just be milk,sugur, and water. But it's the best combo of milk, sugar, and water I ever tasted! Maybe they put some "mojo" or something in it...you know, sprinkle it with some twice-blessed wa... 
Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price"
"Even a lowly mass-market system bought at Best Buy will be able to produce 95% of what you could hear from the most exotic equipment. It's that last 5% that sets an audiophile apart from the mass market consumer."(Perkadin)Ehem....Really?!! 95% f...

Personally,I think it's cool that the teacher "did" the kid!...lol 
Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?
Well, another "arm-chair quarterback" audiopile has spoken here! I respect your input Waldner123, but Lucas film, THX and anyone who's built high end custom theaters will dissagree with you!BTW, (and I already know the answer), since this topic is... 
Subwoofer recommendation
Not enough info, how big is room? Also, where do you plan on putting the sub, or is this flexible? 
Upconverting DVD Player Through Component?
As a general rule, non of the players are supposed to upconvert via analog connections. However, if you do some research, I believe many of the players, like Momitsu 880, Samsung 850, Panasonic 971(?), and Onkyo players were "mod-able" to upconver... 
Thinking of converting to a home theater setup
Here's how I see it...First, yes, you've obiously got some gear you've appreciated over the years,for 2 channel dubties, fine.However, making a competent multi-channel system work is another store really. It sounds to me like you'd like to keep yo... 
Best position for rear channel.
This should not be a problem really, even with dipole Logans. You simply place the speaker where your head will be in the listening seat, play music and test tones as you walk around room near your placement options, and find were the sound is the... 
How do I easily add surround to my 2 channel setup
