TV Antenna and Satellite on one coax cable
Thanks for the advice! I never did like the combiner/splitter approach since I never re-combined them back into the satellite receiver anyway. The installer showed my fiance how to use the setup (I was at work during installation) where you had to... 
Which cables?
For warmth I would choose MIT. I use the 330/750 series in my system. It may not work for you however. 
need 5 speaker setup; have 1200
Clueless, you're right about the common decency not being common. I can't say "not common anymore" as I'm not that old (26) but I prefer to take the higher ground so I can sleep well at night. I have to agree with you about the stupid part too. I ... 
need 5 speaker setup; have 1200
Clueless, it's not respect for audio stores. It common decency as a human being. I've been in Tweeter a few times looking for random things because Radio Shack is further away. Not one salesman has ever passed the 10 question test (I use it for al... 
How many power conditioners do you own and use?
3 APC Line-R 600s and 1 1250 for my amp. leo. 
need 5 speaker setup; have 1200
Docwarnock, I have absolutely no affiliation with any audio sales. Check my feedback... all purchases. The only time I go to audio stores is with my friends who always purchase new and locally. I hardly ever purchase new and I never purchase local...

If you're gonna audition the speakers in a shop then you should buy them from that shop. leo. 
Advise on VHS/VCR to purchase New or Used??
Ditto the JVC SVHS VCRs. I've owned twelve VCRs in my lifetime and have never been happy with one until I bought an HR-S7600U. Highly recommended. Buy the highest model you can afford. Don't buy used. leo. 
subwoofer suggestions
You can buy a REL mail order. Doesn't have to be through a local dealer. It's also my recommendation to you. Search the archives. There's a lot of info that couldn't be summed up in a paragraph. leo. 
subwoofer comparision
Sedond, it doesn't sound like you guys set it up correctly to me. I use a Strata III with Thiel 1.5s in a 15x17' room and I can make the drywall shake if I want to. I have it crossed at 37Hz for the speaker level input and 80Hz (preamp's only opti... 
subwoofer comparision
AFAIK, REL subs are the only one's that let you use the low level and high level inputs at once. Meaning, when you're listening to two channel music you are using the speaker level hookups to get seamless integration and when you're watching a mov... 
Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer.
You may want to try APC Line-R conditioners. On eBay you could buy 10 of them for the price of one of the above and separate each component from the rest. I use four. One for my Amp, one for the Sub, one for the CDP and TV, and one for the rest. I... 
Which MIT cables for Thiel???
I'm using MH-750 HE (High Enery) speaker wire to the Thiel 1.5s, MI-330 Series 2 from the pre to the amp, and MI-330 Plus from the CDP to the pre. Total cost for the cable was $490 used. You're also missing half the sound staging capability of the... 
Power cord for Rega Planet 2000
I would really like a cord that costs around $100. My current problem is that my system is extremely detailed and smooth but lacking musicality. Hence the purchase of the Rega. I don't want to lose the detail so a power cord with that in mind is w... 
96K DVD Output
Jvr, I'm using the digital coax connection. This home theater thing is new to me. I guess all DTS/DD processing needs to be done through a 96k digital input (since I'm not using analog outs on the DVD and the Rotel ). Is that right? Then why would...
