I've found a pretty sweet deal on this unit. It's got power, 7 channels and zone 2, but I can't find any info on its upconverting capabilites. Also, it has upgradability to add say, Logic IIx. How is that done?

At first I thought you said HK 3300, but 7300? Dude, it's like comparing a 911 GT2 to a 350zx. Both the Pioneer and HK are nice, but we know which outclasses the other. The 7300 is one of the most expensive amps you can buy and the damn thing still has a plastic front end :eek: :mad: . Very...

I just picked up a pair of Polk RTi8s and CSi3 from Future Shop. A friend of mine works there and gave me staff discount on them, so I basically paid half of what they retail for. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys buy the extended warranty, I didn't get it but I plan on using the RTi8s...

I've noticed this same thing on my TV. I have a Samsung Upconverting (HA!) DVD player and when I use the Picture in picture with Components and HDMI, the HDMI looks sharper, but the colors are flat and washed out compared to Components. Might return both TV and DVD player and wait for...

You know the drill. If you're looking to upgrade to the 12 or something else and just want to get rid of that ugly, smelly, crappy sounding SVS PB10, drop me a line. :D

Tha's precisely what I'm thinking. There was a reason why DTS was not on the initial release - it couldn't fit on the DD version. Also, Spielberg, like Lucas is an audio-nut. All of his movies are mixed well, and sound good. So it doesn't surprise me that he released sole DTS versions of...

There's are almost NO proprietary DTS discs anymore. Is it because the compression change to fit both DTS and Dolby onto a disc,while sacrificing quality? I own Saving Private Ryan on DTS, which I must have bought 5 years ago. A friend of mine, who has a nice 7.1 setup in his basement with KEF...

Yea Hans Zimmer kicks ***! I love Crimson Tide. Very nice piece. Unfortunately, Danny Elfman has lost his touch. I can't recall anything memorable by him in recent years. Lord of the Ring's flute score is sweet and fitting as well.

Woah! That portion of the THX article really made me think. I did not know this. The Pioneer 1015TX seems like a shoe-in choice for me now.

I'm not talking about songs here and there. I'm refering to the main theme, or opening scores.

I find that in the last few years, the opening scores have been subpar or just flat-out lame. I watched X-men 1, 2 yesterday for the first time. After both movies ended I couldn't recall what the score sounded like. Went back to the titles to listen again and it was a whole lot of nothing...

Considering my budget, I figured that a simple amp like the HK 135 would probably suit me well, to drive Polk RTi8s. However, the Pioneer 1015 is soo appealing with the 7.1 and THX. Now, I don't plan on buying another receiver for a few more years until HDMI is commonplace on AVRs and...

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a black Onkyo. I've read all the reviews, compared the prices and it seems the 603 is the best bet for a great starter/mid priced receiver. I've found it for $350us on ebay. If anyone knows where I can get it cheaper or want to throw in some other...

I bought a pair of them from a small store near Niagara Falls. They were supposed to be delivered to me but they claim the package was damaged and are refunding me back my money. Anywho.... I'm now again in search of these speakers. I've listened to them, like their size, looks (the black...

I bought a pair of Polk Audio RTi8 towers for my apartment. It was such a good deal ($400can) that I couldn't pass it up. Now I need a receiver to do the job. A friend of mine is telling me to get the HK AVR 135. I'm not looking to spend a ton and the HK is right up my alley price-wise. Any...
