| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers You are going to hear stories on both sides of this issue, which is to be expected on an open forum like this. Beware of people with their own agenda that might not be as objective as what you are looking for. The smartest thing you can do is to f... | |
| Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR? I have a KDL-46xbr4 Sony LCD TV that outperforms my Sony 32" XBR CRT because in 1080i you really don't start to see the difference until over 42". The 32" is great, the 46" LCD is "greater". There's your answer, IMO. Take a look and see if you don... | |
| How to insure shipping large speakers? Congratulations on your safe shipment. Not knowing better, we shipped some very heavy speakers (coffin crated) with FedEx Freight a few years ago and they tried to weasel out of paying for insured damages for 6 months, before we finally reached a ... | |
| Valve Amplifier suited for my system Another vote for Vac Phi 300.1 amp. A "statement" piece. | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Guys - thanks again for your input. Looks like I'll just have to wait and see what comes out of CES as far as processors are concerned. The HD sound I have heard was spectacular in those venues (running through receivers!) - it is really something... | |

| New Processors passing HD Sound? Kr4: Thanks for your input. My player apparently DOES decode DTS-HD internally. SInce you are apparently more technically savvy on these issues than I am, please take a look at pg 48 of the manual for my Sony bdp-s2000es, and see if that doesn't s... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Hudsonhawk: I'm certainly not an engineer, nor do I pretend to totally understand this. What they told me is that the player will only send HD sound thru the HDMI port, not the 5.1 out. Apparently that's how it is designed, maybe for copy-protecti... | |
| New Processors passing HD Sound? Thanks for the responses so far. It looks like Denon has come out with several receivers as well - not sure what I'll get running "pre-out" to my amp.Px25: That's what I originally thought as well, but the HD signal is ONLY passed thru the HDMI ca... | |
| Why are LCDs more popular than plasma? There is a 3rd choice, which is DLP, or in Sony's case, SXRD. I like Sony's LCDs better than any plasma I've seen under $10K (Sony doesn't make plasma and I'm not sure they ever did), including Pioneer Elite, etc., etc. I find the SXRD a much bett... | |
| I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type Best bang for the buck - Sony KDS-60A3000. Lists at $2200 - 60" and should be viewed before you purchase anything. It rivals and surpasses a number of LCDs and plasmas in picture quality at 1/2 to 1/3 the price. One of the best-kept secrets in vid... | |
| Best Ic`s between Amp-Preamp or Source-Preamp ? Source to Pre most impt in my system. | |
| I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type Just got another Sony KLD-46xbr, this time an xbr4, which is the latest 1 that just came out (my house got jealous of my office). This new TV sets the new standard and I've noticed it's even a little better for watching sports, probably due to som... | |
| I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type I think Sony is the way to go. The SXRD is close to LCD except way off axis, but better than anyone else's DLP, especially the XBR SXRD mentioned above, in my opinion. If you want an LCD, get a Sony Bravia - there really isn't anything out there t... | |
| Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier? Vac_man - Ive been out of town a lot over the past 7 weeks or so dealing with a family emergency and have been "unplugging" my system so the dog-sitters don't try to even touch my audio gear (if it doesn't lite up, there's no temptation to play wi... |
