To get back to the topic at hand, I have a question. So far, what I really love about the velodyne 5000r is the SLAM it produces. I'm probably using about 1/2 volume and it really outclasses my Energy S10.3 in tactile effects on loud explosions and electronic music. The S10.3 felt weak...

You forgot this badboy.

Coming friend. In fact, I think I'm doing a full review with comparisons. I'm not that technically sound in terms of measurement but I do have a good ear and will compare my Energy S10.3 to the 5000r. Pics are coming as well. I'm waiting for my GF to get back from her Montreal trip (Friend's...

For Blu-ray, Samsung 1400 and Panasonic BD30 (get this one). For HD DVD, A35 and XA2 (get this one).

In consumerland, Honda = reliability. In F1 land, Honda = exploding engines. :D

I would go with the HSU here. I'd be weary about the PB10's 10 inch driver in a room that big.

My general rule has been -5dbls from my fronts. Even then, the sub is quite loud for my room size. I just wish I could have more tactile bass shaking me, not the floor.

Pics are coming. I have to say I'm sort of mixed about this sub. I just had it setup. It certainly pounds MUCH harder than my Energy S10.3 and I can feel the floor shake. So far, I've only listened to music. And I feel for my tiny room (14x11x11), it's massive overkill. The S10.3 seemed...

With the A30, it makes absolutely no difference if you buy a HDMI 1.3 receiver with decoders. The A30 is not HDMI 1.3 and it cannot pass the HD audio bitstream to the receiver. So a 6060 is fine with the A30.

People are always talking about "so and so amp has Burr Brown DACs" or whatnot. If you're going HDMI and optical only, with no analog audio at all, does the type of DACs in an amp matter?

Huh? Are you talking about the AVR line? The Denon 788 is the 1908. And it has no preouts. Denon really dropped the ball here. The 788 or 1908 have amazing preamp sections, but you can't add an amp to it.

The panasonic BD30 passes True HD and DTS MA to your 1.3 receiver. It is also fully Blu-ray Java 1.1 ready, for those picture in picture titles coming up. If you're buying a standalone over the PS3, this is the one.

The PB13 is a killer. $460can it is not. :D

Yea, the S10.3 is an amazing sub for music. For HT it's not so hot. It just doesn't have the output and High SPL you'd want. Especially with 12 feet ceilings like mine. I'm waiting for my GF to get home so we can try to bring it upstairs.

Future Shop just delivered this sucker to my door. Bought it for $460can online during the Boxing day sale. I've never seen the sub in person and the box is a frikken giant. I'm afraid of hauling it upstairs to the bedroom theater by myself. Impressions coming later. It dwarfs my...

Are you American, then don't bother. I don't believe Future Shop ships outside of Canada.

How does this one compare to the PB10 NSD? I was considering getting the PB10, but with the 5000R at $450 bucks, it's decision time.

You can't. You want to do that, get the HK 247 or Yamaha 6080.

At this point I don't trust Onkyo's quality. Yes, their specs for the money is really good. However, all the people complaining about breakdowns lead me to believe Onkyo cut corners on build quality to satisfy the price.

This is right up my alley. Has there been any confirmation of this?
