Best A/V Receiver Under 700
I used to have a Nakamichi AV-8. he 10 is a a model up. No DTS on mine anyway, but I thought it was a great bargain. It replaced Denon and kicked it's butt. see them cheap on AG and at my dealeer at times. 
Bang for your Buck HT
If you don't want progressive scan, the pioneer elite dvd-05 has been a steal here on AG. I have one - very noticable upgrade from everything else and don't pay a fortune for the 09's Tank-like construction. I've owned a bunch of Dolby Dig. receiv... 
Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile???
Since B&K changed models, you can get a 202 reasonable here on AG. I have B&K Reference Seperates also, and the receiver does a very repectable job. Prior I had a Nakamichi AV-8, which was great compared to the same priced Denon I had befo... 
In-wall speaker help
I have top of line sonance in ceiling for surrounds and in another room for music. Haven't been dissatisfied. Just might not have your ear.... Also varies depending on model. I would check out B&W (if I didn't have the sonance already), and wi... 
B&K Reference 10/20 Upgrades
I just spoke to B&K. Specifics not yet available. They should have info in 30-60 days. 
Speaker help please for $2000 US
I replaced Studio 100 with Soliloquy 5.3 Small, but heavy. Seem much more musical, better image and soundstaged than Para. Underwoodwally sells "B" for $1400 pr. that I can't tell from perfect. Great in price range. Very efficient. May want to che... 
silverline sonatina vs soliloquy 5.3
Just got 5.3 from underwoodwally - plus center. Early impression is great. Purchased after buying 5s for bedroom and loving them. May want a sub with 5.3, but if using for music (sorry - like HT) Solilo makes a great musical sub Wally also sells. 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
Roger: Have Hurricane between DVD and Receiver and to TV. Daybreak DSS to Receiver. System 2 is Wireworld Silver S DVD to pre- and Monster to TV. Problem on A/B may be that it will be tough to trade out the switching to TV run. My gut level advice... 
Who R U?
Glad I found this post. Past few months I bought some good stuff, sold some good stuff, and got a lot of good advice here on AG. I am Ed. We go by shaqspack (www.shaqspack.com) for our lovable lab Shaquille. You can see him on his Website. I'm 46 ... 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
Roger: Have both sonic horizons and Monster 2000 now. Love both. HCMaudio makes/ sells these. www.hcmaudio.com Tell 'em hi. Took them a while. Someday soon, I'll A/B them with test patterns on same set up. I forgot. My Pioneer DVD-05 has dual outp... 
Revel M20, Soliloquy 5.3, Silverline
I replaced 601 series with Soliloquy 5s and center. Great upgrade. Soundstage excellent. Clearer voices. Am driving with Modest Nak receiver. Impressed enough I have 5.3 on order for main system. I have sub, and 5s don't get real low. We'll see 5.... 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
Got my sonic horizons S-Video from HCM hooked up today. I can't A/B with Monster 2000 cable, but they are excellent cables. The Horizon is top shelf and the daybreak is great for price (about $60). So, my opinion, yes, does make a difference. Both... 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
George- my experince was good also, glad to hear not just wishful thinking. I decided to try Sonic Horizons by HCMaudio, just for something difference and Wally was out of 2M. I'll let everyone know impressions. Hope this thread lives a while! Ed ... 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
PS my problems were with less expensive Monster products. NO PROBLEM with 2000 
S-Video Cable - is there much difference
A clarification in my original post. I recently bought Monster svhs 2000 for one (the "good one") of my two systems. Noticable improvement in this cable over MIT I had. I have had problems with several Monster's in terms of connectors breaking asn...
