Alright, Per my previous thread, I'm replacing a Denon 2312 that I loved. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Onkyo TX-NR727 for $324 (Refurb) Am I going to have any regrets about the model (I'm not worried about refurb - I know the risks)? Is the sound quality going to be on par with the...

All, I'm looking for some pointers to get something that has sound quality and features similar to my old, trusty 2312. It gave me nearly 4 good years before a storm fried the HDMI board. Still powers on fine and can even do networked music, but no go on any HDMI in or out. I loved this...

I recently visited a museum that used clear glass projector screens mounted on the ceiling with a short throw projector behind them and am now obsessed. I really want this for my media room, but don't even know where to begin. Is there a special projector? I'm assuming it's special glass...

I've never heard of the Pyle brand of subs. Does anyone have any data or opinions on a PDSB15A (15" 250 W Ported). It's listed on sale for $150 right now and that just sounds too good to be true for a 15" sub. Someone keep me from spending money!! Keep in mind that I own an EMP 1010i that...

For Christmas, my dad gave me some old records that I used to love as a kid, but I don't own a record player. I want to buy one and am seriously considering some low end options with analog outputs. Do I REALLY care or need anything more than that?

Alright. I've repositioned and crawled until my knees were sore and have confirmed (by ear anyway) that from the floor to about 5 feet off the ground right at my main viewing position appears to be a near dead zone for bass in my room. As soon as I sit in any other chair in the room or even...

I'm planning on starting my DIY sub build this weekend and wanted to get an opinion on how my current sub (EMP 1010i - Dual 10s) will compare to my planned build (Ported Infinity 1262 DIY per...

Alright, I've finished up my basic media room and am ready to move on to my multi-room setup. I have a Denon 2312 receiver and would like to hook its zone 2 outs to my dream amp (decribed below)? Does said amp exist (or anything close)? Dream amp: Channels: 4-8 2-4 zones Configurable zones...

Alright. I'm ready to start saving for my second sub and am looking to stay under $600. I currently have an EMP 1010i and want something much better. I'm open to DIY or commercial. what are some of the best options in that price range? size and appearance aren't huge issues as its going in...

I recently started playing with my sub's dials and started turning the gain up. However, past about 50% the sub will start rattling during bass heavy scenes. It's not the cracking typical of overdriven speakers, but sounds like something is shaking. Any ideas? The sub is an EMP1010i and is...

I'm running my low voltage cabling from my TV to my media cabinet, but want to do so in flex conduit. I really like what I've read about the blue corrugated, flexible, Carlon conduit, but I need 1.5 to 2.0" diameters by the foot. The only place locally or online I can find that sells it by the...

I'm finishing my built in media center and will now have to move the center channel above the TV. I know I need to angle it down toward the listening position, but what other pitfalls do I need to look out for?

My cousin just moved into a new house and it's wired for surround, but I don't recognize the termination on the wires and the wires have four conductors rather than 2. I attached a picture of the connector for reference. What is this thing?

In the last couple days the Pandora functionality on my Denon 2312 stopped working. The system will pull up the login page, but when I hit "ok" to login it just amimates the button click, but nothing happens. No error message or incorrect login message or any other error message. The other...

I now have my base electronics and am ready to start on the aesthetics. The first thing I'm doing is building a custom, low profile entertainment center under the TV. I have a rack but happen to like the "base-only" type of entertainment centers. My question is this - what are my options...

Realized I should have started a new thread for this...sorry for the duplication. My Denon 2312CI arrived today only to quickly douse my excitement when I couldn't get the menu to display on my TV. I have confirmed that the HDMI cable is good by connecting it to my TV and PS3. However when I...

I just clicked "confirm" to purchase a Denon 2312CI 7.2 receiver and it provided the obligatory "you may also like...." screen. On that screen was a Onkyo HT-RC360 7.2 receiver. My curiosity took over and i cliked it and found very similar features, yet half the price. What am I missing...

I recently realized that my subwoofer is not turning off automatically. It works great in every other respect. I had the same issue with another sub on the same Denon 1912 receiver. I have ensured it's switched to "auto" rather than "on". Since my receiver only provides a single RCA sub...

Over the last couple months I built my whole 5.1 system from EMP speakers. This wasn't the plan, but they had such great sales and customer service, I ended up buying all my speakers and sub from them. I've been really impressed so far, but I'm ready to get serious about optimizing what I...
