    Are there any good deals on a new 7.1 receiver?

    I’m actually kicking myself that I didn’t know about this before I bought the X3300.

I tried a Pioneer Elite receiver and it gave me a NG...

    Would you consider refurbished? I just got a Denon X3300 from Accessories4less.com for your budgeted price and it’s amazing. It’ll have everything you’re looking for and more.

    Sub to compliment powered monitors - 600-700 dollar range.

    I have an HSU VTF3 MK3 (the previous version) and it's definitely a great sub for the electronic music that I listen to... it's also couch shaking for low frequency movie scenes. One of the good things about this sub is that you can tune the frequency by messing with the ports and the settings...

    Wireless headphones for use while watching TV?

    I have some real time info for you. I recently ordered both the RS 120 and the newer RS 160 with the Kleer transmission. There is a night and day's difference between the two. I purchased the RS 160 refurbished so the price wasn't very different compared to a new RS 120. The 120 had a good...

    VTF-3 MK4 Subwoofer VTF-3 MK4 I have the MK3 and it's amazing. But yes, to truly help you, we would need more information about the room that it's going into, what is the purpose of the sub and such.

    Need a receiver

    You'll get many different replies with suggestions depending on what receiver they have. All good suggestions so far. I have a Pioneer elite receiver and it's been awesome. If I were to do another one, I'd get the Pioneer Elite VSX-33 for well under $1000...

    Pioneer receiver doesn't do video pass through

    TLS Guy, thanks for your input. I will let him know. We finally had the setup working fully by sending his HDMI cable directly to the TV. I mean, it works just fine like that, but still, you want your receiver to do all the work and for the TV to do nothing but turn on, sit there and look...

    Pioneer receiver doesn't do video pass through

    I have a friend with a Pioneer receiver (vsx-1017txv-k). It has HDMI connections that only do Video pass through. It doesn't do any audio pass through and he has to use an optical cable for the Dolby Digital and DTS. It doesn't support any HD Audio, but that's not really the problem. He...

    Speakers for music without subwoofer - $1000ish or less

    So far, the MB Quartz seems to be a good option for you so far. I live in NYC also and in a studio, but it isn't necessarily a small studio. I actually have a Hsu VTF 3 MK3 sub in my place decoupled with an Auralux gramma pad. I haven't gotten any complaints so far, but the guy across the...

    Quick question about 5.1 receivers and stereo...

    MarkW, just read the link and yes, it's interesting to see how they rate the power of these receivers. It's a long time back when I took a statistics course in college when I first realized how it was possible for all the major toothpastes to claim to be the number one dentist recommended...

    Quick question about 5.1 receivers and stereo...

    Man, things are getting heated here. All I really wanted to know was whether a receiver will make more power for two channels than when powering for all 7 channels. I believe that question got answered for me. I am aware of the hopped up numbers a lot of manufacturers are giving out. I am...

    Quick question about 5.1 receivers and stereo...

    Haha. I like your method of explanation. Yes, I do believe that most manufacturers blotch up the numbers a bit. That being said, I'm quite happy with the amount of sound that my receiver puts out even though it's outdated. It's clean, quiet and makes me happy all over. I'd love to see the...

    Quick question about 5.1 receivers and stereo...

    So, I have a Pioneer VSX 90TXV receiver. I'm just curious about one thing. So, if I'm using the 5 channels, I should be getting around 110 Watts per speaker. If I only use 2 channels, does that mean that I still only get 110 watts for those two stereo speakers?

    What about the EMP E5CI?

    Wow! Thanks so much for the detailed impressions on your center. It doesn't sound that promising, though... but at the price point, I might as well try. If I don't like it or if I like my existing center, I'll just end up swapping it out and return the E5CI. By the way, what do you mean...

    What about the EMP E5CI?

    So, I'm really interested in getting myself the E5ti towers for my apartment. I have the TV up on the wall and the towers to the Rt and Lt with the center on a media cabinet. The speakers will be away from the wall so the ports will have enough space to "breath." You can click my sig to view...

    New Apartment, Need Advice for New AV Setup

    The TV stand is actually an inexpensive item from Ikea. It's the TOBO. I modified it in that the feet are removed and the cabinet is placed directly on the ground. The great thing about it is that all my components will work through the frosted glass.

    New Apartment, Need Advice for New AV Setup

    I had a very similar situation with moving into an apartment with equipment. You can click the link on my sig to see how I've set things up. I think that you're on the right track with regards to what you're choosing. Since you're leasing this space, I'm assuming that you'll have neighbors as...

    A2-300 for $250!!!

    Personally, I do believe that I'm happy with the VTF 3 because it does home theater and music so well, but at half the price, if this was available when I was looking, I would have snagged it. Its funny, I've started looking on craigslist in NYC but even after I got it, I look to see if anyone...
