| Pioneer stop Plasma production....... The "double negitive reverse" is a sales technique that salespeople use, and that's exactly what I got last weekend while I was cruising thru a showroom. The salesperson came up and said... If you're thinking about a Pioneer... now's the time to b... | |
| Pioneer stop Plasma production....... Chadnliz... I looked at the Videogon ads right after Pioneer's announcement and within a week one of the dealers dropped the price for the 50" by $800. I've been watching these at Best Buy and Circuit City... and about three weeks ago I found that... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio owners/re: amplification I'm running mine through a Theta Intrepid (5 channels @ 100 watts each)... with a Theta Casanova processor which at the flick of a switch changes from stereo to surround sound.

I've got Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers, and they image like crazy... but being a tweaker like Djbnh... when I saw Jim's ad I couldn't ... | |
| multi-channel amp size height Brushro... You're correct that Theta has produced high quality products for a long long time. There's a July 2002 review of the Theta Intrepid on Stereophile's web site, and another review done in January 2003 on the Enjoy the Music web site (www.... | |
| multi-channel amp size height I had a height problem in addition to being a little concerned about how hot a five channel amp would run, and I settled for a Theta Intrepid. I've owned a boat load of amps over the years, and IMHO the Theta gets high marks for both 2 channel ste... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio: How far from the wall? The backs of my Adagio's are only 20" away from the back wall, and I've got much better bass and imaging than I've ever experienced with priviously owned more expensive speakers. The 20" is about as far out as I can go before I start pushing the W... |
