Looking for musical A/V receiver
I had a Denon 3300 for 9 months. I really like it for $800 new. The remote sucked(Of course they all do at this price), but everything else was great. I sold it because I went to separates plus alot of $$$ more. If I were to go back to a reciever,... 
Speaker Help!!!
Second on the Hales Rev2(1800) or Rev3(2200); I have both(3 for the front and 2 for the back). I auditioned everything and IMO they are the best for the money in sound and looks. They appear used on Audiogon, but sell quickly. The 2s sound as good... 
Best beadroom speaker under $350 (NHT?)
NHT SuperOne & 1.5 are both good speakers for the money. Also Energy Connoisseur C-2($600) and Paradigm Reference Studio 20($650) should be in your price range used. All these speakers sound great. Good luck.....LR 
What to do for the rear?
Semwin1, In wall speakers have a problem with interaction of the wall. It generally get worse the higher the volume. Going anyway from this design usually improves the sound. As far as direct, dipole, bipole, etc..., I would suggest you A/B betwee... 
Cable help for NEWBIE
Mandrake, sorry, to get 5.1, you will need the rest of the speakers(center, surrounds, and sub)....LR 
Cable help for NEWBIE
Mandrake, The outputs are for you to pass the 5.1 signal(AC-3 and dts) to your reciever to decode. You will need a good digital coaxial cable to make this happen. Canare makes 2 great cables which you can find on this site $27-$40, just put Canare... 
Best speakers for 2500....thump included
Okay, I couldn't resist responding to Rayhall. I actually heard comments like his before. They came from the local Thiel Dealer when I told him I was considering buying the Hales Rev3. He seemed irritated as if he had lost customers to Hales befor... 
Best speakers for 2500....thump included
Shabbadoo, hope my recommendation where I mention the Vel HGS15 sub didn't confuse that the Hales Revelation3($2200) plays down to the 30Herts you desire. Hales list the "In-room bandwidth: 23Hz-26kHz" and "Frequency response: 33Hz-26kHz(-3dB)". R... 
Best speakers for 2500....thump included
My budget was $2500 for mains and after looking at many reviews I becan listening. I came down to PSB Goldi, NHT 2.9 and Hales Revelation3. I bought the Hales which I felt was the best deal(considering sound, look and refinement). They take a long... 
Looking for some info on speakers
Jim, Aggree with Fletch on Meadowlark Kestrel!! B&W makes some really nice speakers which fall in your price range. I have heard the upper JM Labs which I really liked. Haven't heard the Cobalt series. Used in your range--maybe Hales Revelatio... 
Inexpensive Audiophile Set-up?
D, I've heard most of the players mentioned and short of putting each in your system and you listening, you will proably never be able to pick the best for you. However, these are all on the right track. One thing to add, which you didn't make a r...
