    Is this used Plasma worth buying?

    Im kind of partial to plasmas and want to go the way of a used display instead of a new one. Ive found a Samsung PN64F8500 for $900 that was purchased new in 2014. Im concerned about the Y sustain boards that Ive read about. Should I even worry about that? Is it like any piece of electronics you...

    Add Amp to A/V Receiver, or Not?

    I know this has been asked a million times before, and I even searched a little for it. But I want a truly honest answer. I have an A/V RCVR which supposedly kicks out 140w per ch and an 5 channel amp that kicks out 200w per. Ive read so many testimonials about how their soundfield is so much...

    Denon 4311 HDMI setup issue, No display.

    Ive tried googling this, but its a pain to find. I had a storm a while back that appeared to fry the HDMI ARC 1 and now a power outage seems to have fried my HDMI ARC 2 output. So I am completely out of service from watching anything. MY questions are, (I cant remember how) before I take it in...

    Trying to match new speakers with my 4311

    While contemplating how to upgrade my system, I at first decided to go pure seperates. Then, while enroute to my house via UPS, I changed my mind and returned a Marantz 7005 PRE and decided to go with a Denon 4311 and an Emotica XPA 5. The XPA 5 drives my HT while the 4311 drives my other zones...

    What part of the tweeter blows?

    I got a pair of B&W DM603's really cheap off of CL with one of the domes on the tweeter cracked open and dented. I cant find a replacement tweeter anywhere. But the tweeter dome is available from B&W. My question is, if the tweet is blown, which part blows? I removed the tweet from the cabinet...

    Have any of yall ever heard this sound before? (Not a hum, pop or crackle either)

    I know this is hard to convey, but here goes. Everytime, or it seems like everytime, I turn on my system and a source begins flowing out of the speakers, I hear what equates to a whistle. The kind of whistle one might hear when calling your dog. It seems to come from the direction of my sub. Its...

    Speaker parts and connectors

    I hate to start a thread on this, but maybe others will benefit from it. Where do you guys buy your spade clamps for your speakers? Ive looked everywhere and 80% of the shippers are overseas. I dont want to wait that long to get them. Does anyone have a stateside company they buy from that wont...

    What are yalls experience with the Infinity Beta series?

    A few years ago when Infinity was closing out its Beta line I bought the whole setup for my HT system. I figured for such a discount and the reviews I had read on them I couldnt lose. Fast forward a few years and Im in the process of upgrading again. For over 20 years Ive been messing around...

    Denon 4311ci vs Marantz AV7701/7005

    Im in a buyers debacle. No matter how much research I do, I still can not come to a decision on what to upgrade to. Where I get confused is with the Denon 4311. Its all the rave in online communities right now. It sports an all preamp mode and has XT32. Why would you want an all preamp mode if...

    Why do more expensive speakers tend to be less efficient?

    Ive tried finding this online and cant seem to find it. Why are my old Cerwin Vega DX3's so efficient at 94db, yet my mid range Infinity Beta 50's are 91db and my girlfriends B&W 804 Nautilus' are only 87 or 89db. Whats the point of having a speaker that takes a beast of an amp to drive vs a...

    Lexicon GX7 Vs JBL AVA7

    Just curious if anyone here has any knowledge or experience with these two amps. I know the JBL is a clone of the Lexicon and retails for $2900, but Ive seen them as low as $325 used and that just doesnt sit well with me. I found a JBL new for $999 and the GX7 new for $1700. I cant seem to find...

    Need some opinions on DVD player

    I recently bought an Onkyo Dvs-939 from a buddy upgrading his player. Quite honestly, Its too much of a player for me. Ive read reviews on it and run across a few of the same problems Ive encountered. DVD-A aside, I cant get the dang thing to play hardly any 20th Century DVDs. Ive called Onkyo...
