Anyone spend more on their system than their car?
my system cost way more than my car (is worth). i drive an escort, that is how i can afford this sport. i would like to move up to an 05 or 06 mustang here in about 4 years. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
the rusty wire that holds the core that keeps the anger in... gives way and suddenly its day again. (two suns in the sunset, Pink Floyd)the sun is not yellow its chicken. (Dylan) 
Thoughts on A/V receivers
for what it's worth, i'm happy with my onkyo 702. it has all the watts you will ever need for the 5 surround channels. just use a seperate amp of your liking for your mains. 
power amp condition durring dvd playback

Can I place a large amp on its side?
no way, don't do it. are you mad? it will likely cut the servace life in half.put it on all four feet with at least 6 inches overhead clearance. 
A worse feeling than burning out your amp?
Chadnliz, i did not know that was a condition that we need to avoid (turning on amp when voulme is turned up). i will keep this in mind.i have fried a pair of channels when i ran built in test tones on an avr. rear speakers had been modified and i... 
can i turn full range speakers in to a pair of sub
the nht and the cv both have 1 in dome tweaters made of metal and sound alike. but i will probbly end up using something that goes down to 70Hz. 
Good AV Receiver with good AM/FM reception.
i have always had to listen to am radio on a clock raido or my realistic sta-12 i got at a furnature store for $5. but my new onkyo ts xr 702 does suprisingly well. have to leave my amp off for am though. just the cheap antenna that came with it w...

i have been listening to the yamaha for 10 years and have never seen the need for upgrade. i have listened to the onkyo for a couple of months now and it sounds the same except for some strange noises at the start of playback. similar to other che...

i will not pay $700 for an avr that wont do more than around 80 watts per channel. i'm hoping that is what the sr702 will do. that is around the same watts as the hk at this price point. i have listened to the integra with the same specks powering...
