looks like a old bose system amp. if it is you will need the "control unit" to run sources through it!

From looking at the specs and features of both it seems that if you want more power go with the Denon. Other than that you would have to decide which feature set suits you best. I do like the 4 port ethernet switch on the Sony. Both have zone 2 hdmi (nice feature). Different command structures...

Three identical speakers is how they do it in theaters. It will provide a more uniform front sound stage. But the design of the infinity is a great compromise! The one that corrects most of the issues that MTM horizontal center designs inherently have. Most if not all matching higher end...

I've done hundreds of installs and have never done anything like that. It was common for us to go opposite walls, within a foot of the ceiling and in opposite corners for best coverage in the room. You are installing in room volume control so you set the musical mood for the room. Depending on...

As already stated, it is best to stay with a particular brand and series within that brand for a front stage. Of course I have seen many that don't with varied results some good and some not so good. The point being that for best most consistent results stick with what works. All my speakers are...

I watch a lot of movies! We use netflix,hulu plus,amazon vod and vudu. I will say vudu is the closest to bluray quality video that I've experienced. We just watched Prometheus and I was very impressed with the pq. Although $6 a movie could get expensive for us. I mostly use nexflix and wait for...

I've heard a lot of in wall/ ceiling speakers (Triad, Atlantic Technologies, Episode, Speaker Craft) and if placed correctly they can produce quality sound. That being said I do prefer in room floor standing speakers. Sometimes just moving a speaker a inch or two can make a difference in what...

Well said gentlemen, anyone who doesn't know A/V could go crazy reading about hype and snake oil. It is really a shame, but it's been like this for so long. Fortunately good forums like this exist to help try to keep the path clear, well, somewhat clear. Some people want to believe what they...

Guys don't get me wrong I'm all for progress of our common hobbie, addiction, love or whatever you want to call it. I just think ok, 3D has been around since the 20's and every so often it makes a comeback, and to be honest I for one don't enjoy the experience, even with todays technology it is...

The way I see it is it's just another fad hollywood is trying to force down our throats to make more money. I live in 3D and I enjoy my movies in 2D. It takes away from the experience of what a movie should be, which to me should be emotional, a escape from the day to day drama of modern life...

I would have to say a Emotiva XPA-5, Aperion 6 series spks all the way around, and a set of Axiom EP800 subs, Richard Grey pwr cords and Blue Jean XLR cables for stocking stuffers. Also would like to be employed again (just a after thought).

Good thread with all points covered, that's what I like about this site. I am a Onkyo fan. They give the most bang for your buck. I must say though a fire is pretty serious no matter how it happens. I have to say most customer service sucks today, from any major manufacturer. Case-n-point I...

Got my Atlantic tech sub for $400 it was to big for customers cabinet retails at $1300. Bought my Onkyo PR-SC885 for $800 from work retails for $1400-1600. Got a 42" samsung plasma monitor for free, also a Onkyo stereo receiver for free guy thought it was dead , only had blown fuse. My 13 yr old...

Good review, Harmony is the easiest remote on the market. I've owned the One for almost a year, after I saw it at last years EHX I had to get it. I have a dual display system and my 6 year old can operate it without issue. Best remote on the market in it's price range. It's big brother the 9000...

Congrats, no other way to watch a movie or game. Dark room with BIG screen!!!

I'm interested to see where this thread goes. I'm still using a 200u and it runs like a champ, even though the original one had issues, had to fight for a while with panny but they sent me a new one with latest firmware from japan so no complaints. also was the first one in Florida to install a...

Hey guys, it's possible that your recivers run above 40k infra red wich is the limit for most repeater systems,and most devices also. I know Russound makes a 56k mod for their repeater system that resolves this problem. Iv'e seen HK recievers that had the same issue also scientific atlanta...

I have mine about 3' behind main sitting area 12' apart aiming at a 45 degree angle into listening area. My tweeters are 2" above ear height on stands, it's really all relative to what we have to work with. By the way it sounds great!!!!

KASR, lol, that's great where can I get one?
