HDTV picture quality question...
Another thing you may want to try that worked for me initially on my Mits. Get rid of the S-Video connector from the STB to the TV and use a good quality RCA cable. This is assuming you don't have componant out's on your STB. By using the RCA cabl...

Thanks for the info. Went to an anonymous emailer and sent Kbambus a nasty email. 
Difference between 24/96 and 24/192
Is there an easy way to determine if a particular DVD player upsamples CD's? I'm looking at the new Yamaha dvd-c920 player and do not see anything in the owners manual concerning cd audio output rates. The only mentions is 96KHz, 24 bit audio DAC ... 
Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player?
I too am in the market for a new DVD/DVD-A player. The problem with the Pioneer for me relates to it's DVD-V performance. While I can't say I've seen it in action, I can say it is not using either one of the highly regarded de-interlacing chipsets... 
Best Quality Stands for Fewest $$$?
If you can find a used pair of Sonus Faber stands, new they are ~ 400, absolutely beautiful and w/o the big metal tube look like the Osiris.

Thanks everyone. 
Opinions on M&K MX-5000THX Sub. Or best Sub
I have the MX-150 THX and love it. This is what I have gathered from alot of reading and a little comparison. M&K seems to the way to go for HT, REL seem to be more musical. I'm happy with mine. 
Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound?
P.S. I have my M&K mated with Vienna Acoustics Haydns. 
Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound?
I never hear much about M & K subs in this forum. It all seeems to revolve around REL. My understanding is M&K "invented" the sub and is used exclusively by George Lucas. Is REL more of an audio sub as opposed to M&K being known for HT... 
A dedicated HT speaker used under 2,000.00/pair
Check out M&K. They are known for their subs, but make some HT setups that have gotten rave reviews. They are good enough for George Lucas. 
Vienna Acoustics Hyden vs. B&W CDM1's
How about combared to the Soliloquy 5.0's ? I've heard alot about these babies, but haven't had a chance to audition them. I mostly listen to rock music, with a bit of r&b and blues thrown in. 
M&K push-pull config???? suggestions?
I have an MX-150 THX attached to a decent mid-fi system ( Yamaha, Boston Acoustics ) and it is by far my favorite peace of gear. 
Multi-channel amp questions
Mdomnick: I do appreciate your comments / suggestions though. I am curious as to why you would classify Boston's as inferior to these other brands, you've got me wanting to head back up to my hi-fi shop this weekend and demo the Klipsch. What's up... 
Multi-channel amp questions
Mdomnick: I auditioned Paradigm and Def Tech speakers and just wasn't happy with the sound. I thought the Def Tech's sounded really nice and even turned a friend on to them, but I don't think either one of these has anything on my Boston Acoustics...
