    Does the Yammy 659 have phantom mode?

    I'm looking at this receiver for a basement and may or may not use a center speaker. I understand that phantom mode can "produce" center speaker ability with some minor reduction in quality. If so, I would like to find an AVR under $500 that has phantom. I am also interested in the Denon...

    "Surround" speaker ??????????

    What the heck does it do??? I have been researching gear and really like the Klipsch Reference for my needs. I was originally thinking LCR & in-ceiling rears for a 5.1 or 6.1 system. Then I come across "Surround" speaker. What is it's function, and if used, does it replace any of the...

    Daz3d, How do you like your Klipsch? Is your center channel clear and adequate? T

    Thanks for the replies I could angle them down. If i do this I was thinking the Polk 6900 system all around. I also thought about having standup fronts built into cabinets. The center would be built into the stone fireplace w/ a removable "rock". When watching tv the rock can be taken...

    I think I found a solution...

    Thanks for the replies. A little more information might help. The screen will be motorized and drop in front of a stone fireplace. Thus I am unsure or what to do for a center. Ceiling is the easiest. or Make a mantle and set on on it. When the screen drops it will be at the bottom or...

    Reading these forums has been mindboggling. I was ignorant as all get out. I haven't purchased any audio equipment for at least 10 yrs.:rolleyes: My current receiver was rather decent at the time - surround, dobly digital, dvd input-6 sound modes - but thats about it, Kenwood 1080. After...

    Am I a sucker????

    Thanks for the reply MDS I think i will return the 901 - as I said - impulse. I knew i could return it and probly would. It was a spur of the moment bargain but I have gained and enormous amount of knowledge from audioholics & avs. and you guys. I have only been on here about 2-3 wks. thanks...

    Am I a sucker????

    I went information hunting today to about 6 local av stores - you know the ones. Anyway, at the last one I made an impulse buy. I needed a receiver to watch movies and play tunes in our soon to be finished basement. I figure that all I need is a decent receiver to play movies and actually...

    Beginner Need help choosing the right receiver

    height will be about 8' 2'' up to the drop ceiling. went to an independant av HT store and they recommended the following: Onkyo 703 HK 435 or 635(i think that's the number) ONkyo 603 Denon 1906 when the wifey isn't in I like it loud and full. when she is in I put on the wireless...

    I'll never buy a TV again...

    50" plasma cool - no problem there. I figure my projector is about $1700. 50 in plasma - $4000 $4000 - $1700 = $2300 $2300 / $500(high estimate - lightbulb) = 4 bulbs. 4 bulbs = about 5-7 yrs. 5-7yrs = new projector. 120" screen = priceless. I know this is rather crude but...

    Beginner Need help choosing the right receiver

    My room is rather large. Basement is being finished beginning June 17th . The open area is about 45 by 25. Think Square here. In the southeast corner will be a fireplace area. Stone wall chimney and seating. In the southwest corner will be a kitchen area. Tile floor and bar. North west...

    I'll never buy a TV again...

    Now don't take this the wrong way. I have a simple solution. Try to find where your current tv is. the wall behind that looks like a pretty doable screen. I'ld find something to do with that small 30" tv and remove allllllllllllll the other stuff. Perhaps in a nice low level-long bench...

    I'll never buy a TV again...

    points well taken. For my needs - after 800pm viewing sports/movies/and a few shows here and there is suits me fine. Thanks for the on/off info about the bulb - i'll remember that one. I guess a new daytime tv isn't out of the question. Thanks for the input. T

    I'll never buy a TV again...

    any room with a wall is suitable. and i forgot to mention. for a comparable 61 rp tv i was looking at my Panny 900 was less than half the cost. I can project any size screen i need from about 50 to 300 diag :D

    I'll never buy a TV again...

    I don't think I'll ever buy a TV again. After using my panny 900 for about two weeks I have come to a few conclusions: 1. there is no problem with space. 2. very light and portable - tv's are not. 3. take it outside on warm summer nights 4. take it in the bedroom to..... ( you can finish...
