    Thin TVs - Some Get It, Some Don't

    Taking a look at the pricing disparity between the edge and local dimming sets compared with CCFL LCDs is huge. Yes the style of the thin cabinet is great and so is the power savings. But local dimming or not most good comsumers would not plunk out $1500 more for a first generation backlit...

    Hot Speaker Packages from Destination Audio

    Is it EMP or is it Destination Audio and do the tower chassis still rattle in the mid range? Have 3 sets of them now that are all have annoying mid frequency rattles.

    Klipsch Speakers

    I have bought several RC64s now for $350 through a partner discount. Mainly because of cost. Let me say that I have not heard anything for under $1000 that compares for a center channel. In my opinion having 4-6.5" drivers along with the width of the speaker is what makes the dialog sound...

    I will check out those. DIY, is fine for me and I guess I have to expect it for $700 speakers. Just annoying.

    No matching needed, I have a home theater which I am not happy with right now for music, so I am moving onto a dedicated room for two channel music. Unfortunately, I don't really believe in auditioning speakers in the store too much because it's never the same when you bring it home. It...

    I have been through a few sets of speakers now. I really like the EMP EF30T that I bought here. Problems: 1. The cabinets are garbage, been through two sets and they all have rattles after about 5 hours in certain mid range frequencies. 2. Their bass extension is pretty weak at higher...

    Kids Prefer Poor Quality MP3

    This site and many other get their butts hurt when many of us go off on keeping disk based formats alive. Like BluRay for example during the HDDVD battle. Take a look at every single digital download service. Not one offers lossless audio. For god sakes not one truly offers CD quality...

    Vizio Proves Cheap HDTV Sells

    Its an interesting view point. But we all know the main reason these TVs fly off the shelves is because their price. Secondly you can buy them at most big box stores and wholesale clubs. Average Joe consumer does not know the first thing about home theater or HDTV. Setting up a home...

    Study Says Blu-ray Can't Save Disc-Based Media

    In my opinion there is around 1% of consumer broadband services available that could physically transfer bluray quality video and uncompressed audio over the internet. These companies who put out these estimates don't understand how much network infrastructure would need to be in place to...

    Do I Need 120 Hertz HDMI Cables?

    People will never understand this is a what happens when film is shot at 24fps. That's why film looks the way it does. So now you have all these technologies that change the original source and fake frames to make it appear smooth. It's really stupid.

    Do I Need 120 Hertz HDMI Cables?

    Just say no to 120hz 240hz etc etc. More marketing crap that does nothing more than change the intended signal to more digitized filtering and crap. I cannot believe anyone would market cables for this are people really that dumb?

    Is my receiver THAT out of date??

    If your main goal is 5.1 dolby digital or DTS and your receiver does that now and you are mainly a DVD guy? I would keep it for now. I agree with what has been said, build out your speakers, and then upgrade your TV unless you already have a 1080p set that does 24hz. Receiver tech...

    Yamaha RX-V3900 Receiver First Look

    The small volume db numbers on the 3800 annoy the hell out of me. seeing a volume bar instead of a number is useless. And yes does the GUI superimpose over all outputs and resolution without switching resolutions?

    Emotiva XPA-2 Two Channel Amplifier Review

    What other amps in or around this price range do the XPA-2 compete with? Also what do you have to spend to get similar power results and lower sound floor and clarity? While the price is obviously attractive is there anything really close to this for $1500 or $2000?

    Yamaha RX-Z7 A/V Receiver Overview

    I know we are agreeing with each other, but in terms of innovation... These A/V receivers are turning into media centers as they should be. I think they could save a massive amount of money by creating a universal chassis. Such as this: RXZ High End RXV High End RXV Standard HTR...
