    Revisited: Terminator 2 - Ultimate Ed.

    A buddy of mine has never seen T2 ***hold the phone!!! don't spill the coffee!! It's true...*** and so he came to my place with his wife and kids (they've seen it). I've had this DVD since it came out in 2000. I didn't own a surround system then and so I never experienced the aural tour de...

    Ive already upgraded... opinions?

    I don't play too loud but my receiver handles everything clean. If you want more power, I'd spend a bit more and get the Denon 3805.

    Why no reviews on Polk?

    I would review the RTi8s, but I'm pretty new to HT so it wouldn't be from someone very knowledgable.

    Ive already upgraded... opinions?

    Both the RTi4 and FX are perfect matches for the RTi8s. I run a 7.1 system and no way can I afford for of those speakers so I opted to with 4 R15s. They do the job well enough.

    RANT: Lack of DTS ES or 7.1 discrete DVDs.

    Do people even buy 5.1 receivers anymore? So why do studios produce DVDs with 5.1 DD or even DTS? Let's face it, only folks with any interest in the audio side of things will take advantage of surround sound, and I think most have upgraded to at least a 6.1 receiver. 6.1 discrete should now be...

    our current mcintosh rig

    If I can make a suggestion, those Sovtek 6550s are about some of the worst quality 6550s made today. Look into SED 6550s, or better yet, the JJ KT88s. The JJ is IMO top class tube for the money. It has exceptional headroom and a smooth delivery.

    Finally Purchased

    Rocky, please let me know how much it costs you total (taxes, brokerage, etc) to have the SVS delivered to your house. I love my Velodyne DPS-12, but the SVS PB10 is something on my mind for the future.

    Just ordered it

    I'm still in awe of what this unit can do. So much for so little compared to other amps.

    Is my 7.1 setup ok for 16ga speaker cable?

    The Home Depots in Canada doesn't carry 12ga wires in spools. They do have 14ga in 250feet - which it too much. So I ended up getting 14ga cut to specs.

    Is my 7.1 setup ok for 16ga speaker cable?

    I get staff discount at Best Buy and we only carry 16ga stuff here. I looked at Rona, Walmart, Home Depot, and Walmart sells 14ga for $50can, Rona has 12ga for $50 as well. Using my discount, either Monster or Acoustic Research 16ga wires from BB is far cheaper. I need about 6 feet for my...

    Domino

    Keira Knightley looks nice normally, but she looks like a cracked out dyke in Domino. I feel like I'd catching STDs by just watching the DVD commercials.

    Pioneer VSX-1015TX

    No it's not exactly the same. The Elite is more "honest" about its power rating. While it's not "all channels driven", it's certainly more powerful than the 1015 with a 7.1 setup. A buddy of mine has the Elite and I have the 1015, we compared them.

    Pioneer VSX-1015TX

    Is your heart set on a small surround package? If it's possible, try and get the best Floor standing towers as you can. IMO, those are the most crucial sounding devices for home theater. I loath small speakers for mains. No matter how good they are, big mains just sounds fuller. Get the...

    Pioneer VSX-1015TX

    If you're going to be running micro speakers, or small bookshelves, the 1015 will do so with power to spare.

    Pioneer VSX-1015TX

    If you like playing loud and want a 7.1 setup, I think (depending on how power hungry your speakers are) the Elite series is more up your alley. They'll do a better job at driving all the speakers with power than the 1015TX. In stereo mode, the 1015 is strong, but as you add center and rears...

    Rant: Canadian Prices on AVRs!

    Picked up the 1015 today. I wanted the black but Best Buy only carries the Silver version. Ugh.

    what do you think of this setup?

    I don't know what Polk Recommends, but I've owned both the CSi5 and own the CSi3. To me, unless you're playing at reference levels, I see no reason to pop the extra cash for the 5. It sounds meatier and more focused, but it's not worth double the price. It's also frikken big as hell. Almost...

    VTF-3 Mk2 vs Athena P6000/Velodyne DPS 12

    The DPS-12 was selling for $429 at FS earlier this week. I picked one up. You can always return it within 30 days if you didn't like it.
