| Speaker upgrade to go with new Arcam AVR 600? These may outclass your receiver but they have become very affordable and they are still serviceable if need be. Finding a few more pairs might might take a few months though. Even today there are only a handful of speakers that share their abilit... | |
| Pioneer HT amps...what one...newbie Excuse me! Disregard my previous comments regarding the Pioneer receivers. I assumed those were older receivers, sorry. I own an Elite SC-07 and I would definitely choose them over my previous suggestion.As to speakers, it's important to match the... | |
| Pioneer HT amps...what one...newbie Forget both! $500 might get you a new one of these, look around. http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=TX-SR607&class=Receiver&p=iIf your do, use all seven channels as they were meant to be used. You'll love the effects. | |
| Help me spend some $$$$$ Lots of valuable suggestions so far. The "what sounds good to you" suggestion is truly the last word regardless of what you read anywhere. Unfortunately, with the vanishing brick and mortar stores available to audition these products your/we're le... | |
| Power Conditioner for Video under $500? IMO spend the money on having a couple runs of metal clad 10 gage wire with isolated ground receptacles, metal termination boxes, and dedicated 20 amp breakers. Have the electrician move the motor driven appliances and lighting breakers on the oth... | |
| new AVR ? or revamp I'd prioritize a speaker upgrade and go with a receiver. I honestly don't see 7.1 HDMI becoming outdated anytime soon since there isn't even that much 7.1 media out yet. And when it does get outdated a receiver is still less expensive to replace t... | |
| Best way to hook up my blue ray player. Cerrot and I have the same setup and to confirm his observations I found no difference in direct connections while the system approach (though the receiver) gains all the Pioneer conveniences and operational simplicity.Cerrot, My wife and I just s... | |
| Vandersteen 5A vs Meridian DSP8000 Joe, Not at all. Listening to speakers at this level one should experience their potential with the boundary space needed for their optimum performance within that particular room. After restocking the room and relocating the speakers he would the... | |
| Vandersteen 5A vs Meridian DSP8000 Since you have space issues and you realize the Vandy's may need some room to do their magic it would seem you've answered your question.There is a lot to be said for Meridian gear but as sensible as they may be Vandersteens simply make music. The... | |
| trouble finding audio only DSP. I too gave up trying to combine HT with two channel. My HT is setup in a corner in another room. It wasn't until I upgraded the HT with a 7.1 HDMI receiver with room correction EQ that the surround sound was dramatically improved in such a difficu... | |
| Nuforce V3 mod I had the FM on, playing through some backup speakers. These SE's are the third set of switching amps I've used and run in has always been surprising. Our Pioneer Elite SC-07 HT receiver has been the least finicky switching amp so far. It comes wi... | |
| Nuforce V3 mod Before the V3 upgrade I was thinking, maybe it's time to audition a different amp. Right, like I'm going to get off my butt and look for another amplifier especially after being so satisfied with the NuForce V1. What's the point? Milpitas is about... | |
| Newbie help - suggested setup for best VIDEO perf. Using the same display and Comcast cable as a source I run HDMI from the cable box to the Elite SC-07 receiver's HDMI Cable input and another HDMI from the receivers HDMI display output to the display. The Comcast remote controls the day to day fu... | |
| Denon or Marantz? Home theater beginner. I used center, mains and surrounds, in my previous 5.1 system and have since replaced them with seven identical speakers and a modern 7.1 HDMI receiver with room correction. The difference in balance and the surround effect is simply stunning. Wit... | |
| high end subwoofer...which one tho? Like a good que butt can be used with both a snooker and straight pool shafts a good sub can be used for both two and multi channel systems. Today it's setup and EQ that intergrates any sub into the room. IMO JL and Velodyne will make this a simpl... |
