I finally did the move to a front projector. Grabbed an Epson 6100 from HHGregg for 1,499$ yesterday. Replacing the 42in Kuro in the basement theater room. i'm not done with the installation yet (projector is on the coffe table) but wow! What a difference it makes! I hope to get close to...

Hey guys, I want to replace my NAD T743 so I can use it in my living room. The HT is in the basement, and I have no music in the house's main floor, which is just not right... :p The things I want: -Don't care about amp power (I have the XPA-5 for that) -HD audio decoding -HDMi...

Does one even exist ? I'm planning my next upgrade and if possible, I'd rather give my money to a local company. Anything good made in the US or Canada ? With HD format decoding, HDMi switching and conversion.

I’m kind of in a dilemma about that. I’d like your thoughts. I have the HT setup in my sig. Basically, a non HDMi receiver and a 720p display. That last one will be replaced by a 1080p projector fairly soon. I want to go BR but right now, I won’t get any HD benefits (sound or image)...

"Amps can last 10 years" Based on that statement, is a 5ch amp a wise investment? Should I break the bank and get a 7ch amp instead? Or get a 5ch amp now and later get two mono amp? Or a stereo amp if I go to a 7.1 setup? What are your thoughts on that guys?

These over dressed bookcases are super expensive! I'm looking to buy an amp and before I do, I'll need to expand my AV realestate. The Emotiva MPS-2 (one of my amp option) weight 114lb. Not every rack can take such a mass! I don't like the metalic finish and prefer the darker woods...

I read that a balanced connection is generaly "more better". The longer the cable, the more so. I shopping for a new HT amp and see some (like the Emotiva MPS-2) that offer balanced inputs. Is it worth while to consider such interconnect vs good'ole shielded coax? I'm considering the...

:rolleyes: Well, I finally managed to get my Elite player to play SACD "right", almost by accident! I've started experimenting with SACDs and frankly, I was a bit disappointed. The surround content of the 2 discs I have (Diana Krall - The Girl in the Other Room and Pink Floyd DSOM) weren't all...

I'm a bit confused about that and couldn't find any clear answers. I'm wondering what will happen to the HD audio content once it goes through a "regular" receiver? HD/BD player to Non HDMI receiver = ? HD/BD player to HDMI but not HD receiver = ? My receiver (NAD743) doesn't have...

Can't believe that topic hasn't been covered already! (Search revealed nothing..) My gamer tag is Kolia :)

I'm shopping for a new sub for my HT. Been browsing left and right for reviews. I'm almost set on an Axiom P350 v2. Before I pull the trigger, I'd like to hear from those in the know, what other options might be available? I was also thinking on a used Martin Logan Abyss, but I kinda like...

So I'm testing 2 subs this weekend and using the AVIA setup DVD. Martin Logan Abyss (Down firing, 12in driver, 300W) Martin Logan Grotto (Front firing, 10in driver, 250W) I've yet to play with different placement (two locations done) . Using the lower frequency LFE sweep test tone (a tone...

Which is the lesser evil in routing speaker cable? Parallel to each other, clipping them at regular interval or braiding them? How about video component cable?

Okay so I bought a new toy last night, the famous Radio Shack SPL meter #33-4050. Hurray! I got home and started playing with to set all my speakers to 75dB using the receiver test tone. I’ll get a “tuner DVD” soon to work on that in depth. First finding, 75db from a sub is pretty loud...

Well, I have two adorable one year old kitties. They're great, but they still get themselves into all sorts of troubles... Recently, with a new HT speaker setup, I found my sub to be lacking a bit. I'm currently shopping for a new one and the odd sound my current one made was a good...

So I need a new subwoofer for my little (compared to some systems is seen here!) surround system. I have a Mirage LF100 (8in 100W) unit that I used to complement my bookshelves Mirage FRx3. It’s now totally eclipsed by my new setup (see below for details). I use the surround for movies and...
