Your Opinions on the B&K AVR 307
Maybe your 307 is malfunctioning? I have the 507 which I purchased new 8 years ago. My 507 replaced Sony's flagship ES receiver at the time (777ES), and there was no comparison between the two. The B&K was much more dynamic.Some speakers match... 
B&K AVR307 used or other new AVR?
I'm a B&K owner (I have the AVR507), and have been using it now for 8 years. I love this AVR! It's extremely powerful and I like the sound of B&K amps. I use Paradigm Studio 60's and they match very well. In my opinion I find the sound to ... 
LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65"
yes they have glare issues but some are worse than others. My newer Plasma has a low glare display which helps a lot. In my opinion all the new flat panel displays regardless of technology have glare issues to some extent.

Programming new remote for B&K AVR507
I appreciate all the responses. My replacement remote is programmed! I picked up a USB to serial port adapter which works well with windows 7. I had to re-designate my ports which took some time to figure out but it was easy to do once I did a lit... 
Programming new remote for B&K AVR507
Are you using a USB adapter to connect your remote to your computer? Mt remote arrived two days ago but I need a serial port to USB adapter to connect it to my laptop for programming. 
Programming new remote for B&K AVR507
Thanks for the quick response.Yes, after further review of the B&K remote software, the database shows the B&K configuration but it states "demo mrx" which to me means that it's not functional. When my remote arrives I will upload this and... 
46" Plasma or LCD with the best picture.
I personally own a 54 inch Panasonic Plasma and generally recommend Plasma over LCD or LED/LCD type displays. With Plasma you get a full viewing angle, better blacks and a much more natural picture. Plasma's also tend to be less expensive than the...
