| First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions.. >04-09-09: ChadnlizDont buy open box, dont buy warranty and dont buy the BS about calibration, the amount spent doesnt justify it and as long as you like how it looks who cares.<In a showroom environment the brightest picture equates the bes... | |
| First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions.. >04-09-09: PckingI understand that Pioneer is getting out of the plasma business and that there may be some bargains out there on their Kuro line.<Pc, excellent point. I believe they're simply going out of the plasma production and sourcing ... | |
| First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions.. I recently purchased a Sony 37" XBR6 LCD (to fit a tight closet installation) from Best Buy, a 42" $745 RCA LCD from CostCo, and a 60" Pioneer Elite from Axxis Audio in Colorado.BEST BUY: It's simply foolish to let a sales person or the displays a... | |
| Furniture choices for HT setup Shrink, sorry for the delayed response. 'Open Stand' meaning screen out in the open on top of the cabinet. The componentry is enclosed by dark tinted glass doors so the remotes still work.In our previous cabinet the CRT and componentry sat inside ... | |
| Poioneer Elite SC05 I didn't mean to sound like I disagreed with Doggg as he makes the most important point regarding home theater audio. Things are changing and improving very quickly. Comparing anything to the last generation, as I did, is almost irrelevant. Since ... | |
| Poioneer Elite SC05 I had an Integra (by Onkyo) 5.3 (6.1 channel) receiver and upgraded to a Pioneer Elite SC-07. The difference was dramatic in both audio and video performance.The SC-07 has switching class D amplifiers opposed to the Integra's linear solid state. B... | |
| Furniture choices for HT setup We've got a BDI Marina. While this isn't exactly what your looking for I'd just like to say that the Marina is very well built. The design with audio visual in mind is wonderful. There are Velcro fasteners for cable management and softly contoured... | |
| I Need Help Picking a Sub IMO REL subs were OK before subs started offering EQ programs. I never cared for REL's down firing driver which I believe they've finally given up on. With your budget you should take a long look at either Velodyne DD series or JL. The JL seems to... | |
| Arcam AVR350 vs B&K 507 Both seem to be dated and out of production. What are you going to use it for? There were problems with the earlier AVR 350's, you'll need to do a search to determine when the upgrade was done (serial number or date of manufacture).Don't be swayed... | |
| Pioneer BDP-05FD hdmi handshake issues My BDP-05FD>BlueJean HDMI 1.3>Pioneer Elite SC-07 receiver>BlueJean HDMI 1.3>151FD. Has worked fine and has played every disc. My only nit is how long it takes a disc to que up. Hope you get some help over at AVS. | |
| Upgrade for TrueHD and 5.1= Better sound or worse? You sound understandably anxious to put together a system. Lets say you've spent your budget and the results are only slightly better than two channel. Can you imagine what that disappointment might be like? I'm leaning towards Shadorn's suggestio... | |
| Sound for my new theater? "First priority is music but this is a full blown custom built theater with 12 seats and a fairly large volume."Every time I've tried putting anything between my Eidolons the staging suffers. I love my modest HT setup, thankfully it's in another r... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs v.4 I've owned and auditioned (in home) Studio 100's, v1, v2, v3, and S8. To my ears in my home the version 2's were my favorite. Compared to some other speaker systems available here they are simply out classed.Currently there are a pair of Avalon Ec... | |

We believe that our KURO displays are true innovators in the display business. e Our focus will be on the home A/V business, and we will continue to intro... | |
| Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas I'm guessing there's quit a bit of proprietary design within the Pioneer G series plasmas that Panasonic would have to purchase before improving the design, which in and of itself may not that big of a deal. Doesn't Panasonic already have a workin... |
