Getting ready to buy a set of bookshelf speakers and wondering what the impact of laying the speakers on their sides on a bookshelf. Will this significantly mess up the sound quality? I have built in bookshelves that sit on top of larger base cabinets (see pic). I am considering the...

Hey everyone, I am finally getting around to building a decent system and I am newly in a house that has space for it. I got a mic and downloaded REW and did my first measurements, although I am not really sure how to take the data and put it into action and make changes, so I could use a...

So I want to burn my entire CD collection to my new NAS in apple lossless format. My macbook does not have an internal drive and the external apple drive is I have so sooo slow. Can anyone recommend a drive that is durable (I have 500 CDs) and can load fast (40x?) that won't break the bank...

Guys (or even Gals) - My family room measures 20.5' wide and 17' deep with 9' ceilings. But here's the curveball: It's sort of an open floor plan that has almost no back wall because it opens into the kitchen/dinette area. I am going to install a larger plasma, 5.1 surround (for now...7.x...

My current AVR is a Yamaha RX-V861. I need something with more than two HDMI inputs on the back so I am shopping for a new amp. I do 50% music and 50% movies. I really covet the Denon AVR-3312CI, but I am short on cash and considering the two models below it, which are the AVR-2312CI and...

My PS3 has stopped working today. I'm OK with this since the PS3 was way too loud and the need to adapt the bluetooth remote with an adapter was frankly a pain. I bought the PS3 because (at the time) it was the fastest loading and best pic quality you could get in a reasonably priced blu ray...

So I replaced my 42" panny with a 46" panny plasma in my family room, and I moved the 42" panny up to the master bedroom. This led to a problem... ...my wife wants good sound, a Roku, cable TV box, and Blu Ray too in the master bedroom. She wants it to be compact, simple and not visually...

I have a 42" panasonic plasma and love it. I am space limited and can fit a 46" so I am going to buy a new one and move the old 42" to my bedroom. Question: There are 4 models of 46" panny plasmas all in the $1200 price range when I check and compare on electrozone. The models are: 1...

I just ordered my PS3 so that I can watch Blu Ray movies. My question is this: Do I need to upgrade my receiver to take advantage of all that the PS3 offers? My current amp is a Yamaha RX-V861. I have a Panasonic 42" 1080p plasma TV as well. Any help is much appreciated.

I have finally decided to get a PS3 for gaming and, more importantly, blu ray movies. Question - What are the advantages to buying the 80GB version vs the 40GB version? Is it worth the extra money?

I'm an audio/video newbie just starting out, so I am writing for some advice. I had an installer run wiring through my walls for a new home theater about two weeks ago. I upgraded from my old bose system, and now have a yamaha power am and deftech cinemapro speakers (and loving it...not ever...

I am new to this forum but have been reading for about a month to learn as much as I could before going out and just plopping down a ton of money on stuff at the local Bose outlet store. In the end, I wound up buying from a small "boutique" audio store that helped me piece together a system...
