    receiver went out, how long til hdmi 2.0?

    Trying to figure out if I should get a cheap receiver to get through til HDMI 2.0 comes out on most receivers. If it won't be horribly long, I'll probably just wait and use the time doing lots of stuff outdoors. If it will be a while, or next year, I'm going to have to buy something for like...

    do we know when all the 2014 receivers will be announced by?

    From the little reading I've done, release info seems sparse at best and significantly delayed compared to the normal cycle of things. Do we know when companies will have released all the models for the year?

    how to mix main/center brands

    I'm wondering what you need to know to effectively mix a different center from your mains. What factors come into play, what problems might arise, what concerns are there for doing so?

    computer sound card and DAC questions

    I can't imagine integrated sound does a good job, so I'm wondering what I should be looking at for a sound card. I'd almost certainly be streaming movies and music off my computer. I plan on running all audio and video through a denon 4311, which also makes me wonder if the card matters at all...

    does the denon 4311 still rein supreme?

    As far as no real sacrifice at a still affordable price, does it get better than the 4311?

    Onkyo: 818 vs 1010

    I don't care about the 5 watts. I don't care that the 818 is only THX select2, not ultra2. I have no idea what "PUSH-PULL" design means. Each offers more than enough inputs. Digital crossover processing network sounds useful, but far from vital. Pure mode doesn't sound vital either...

    Audyssey XT32 / Sub HT EQ or manual set up?

    Is there any merit to getting a receiver with Audyssey XT32 or Sub HT EQ? I'm planning on doing 2 subs, and going to be sure bass management is doable. I'd strongly prefer something that allows me to set the distances for the sub independently, if not require it. Can you achieve the...

    the .2....

    Is the .2 in a 7.2/9.2 receiver a separate channel, or is it just the same information going to 2 different subs? If so, is there any REAL advantage to having that done in the receiver, and not just splitting the signal?

    Comparison tool?

    Is there a tool out there that you can use to compare receivers other than going willy nilly to various websites and hoping to find everything? Something like phonescoop.com for phones, and using their phone finder?

    Looking to build a system, new to good sounds

    Hello. I'm brand new to the world of audio. I've mostly used stock equipment, but I recently bought a TV, and the sound was horrid. I bought a sound bar, which was an amazing upgrade, and started my curiosity and interest in what else I was missing out on in the sound world. Seems the tip of the...

    How many banana plugs do I need?

    For a 7.2 system, I need 14 pairs of plugs for the speakers, and none for the subs, right? Thank you for answering such a novice question.

    New to the scene, wanted to do a cinema bed.

    I'm wanting to custom build a bed frame that has a pseudo cinema built into it. From what I'm reading, this is a terrible, terrible idea. It seems like just about everything you'd do with a bed frame is terrible from the perspective of a sound system. The only nice thing I can think of is that...
