    Help in choosing Axiom 60, Energy C9, PSB or Paradigm

    I have the Axiom 60's paired with a Yamaha 3300. The combo is pretty good by itself, but once I added an amp the 60's showed me all they could do...........an excellent speaker.I have to disagree with an earlier opinion on their imaging. I listened to the Paradigm Studio 60's & loved them but...

    The idea of buying a demo HDTV..........

    Thanks Pat & Pl.....................haven't been back to the store since Tuesday when I 1st entertained the thought of this deal, but by the look on the salesmans' face I could tell he was skeptical although he didn't poo-poo the idea. I trust the guy but I have to remember that he's trying to...

    "burn In"

    I have no proof or belief either way.................... Would be interesting to hear an A/B test with a new unit & an older one to find out if what Odyssey claims is true.

    Best Sound in Movies

    I'm not much for animateds but the "Lion King" has some great sound to it. Also the gunfight at the end of "Open Range" is spectacular. Not just the gunshots themselves but the way they seem to echo..........."Independence Day" is pretty cool but I think it could have been better. Has anyone...

    Worst Movie Ever Made?

    Caddyshack 2..........perhaps the worst attempt at a sequel ever 28 days later..........this was so bad I started laughing during it & absolutely roared at the ending Can we give an honorable mention to "Rocky 5" ?

    "burn In"

    If you've ever read anything about Odyssey amps, you'll get an example of "burn in" recommendations. The manufactorer gives guidelines for it & most of the owners swear by the change they've heard from out-of-the-box to 100+ hours or so.

    Favorite Metal/Rock band

    JUDAS PRIEST............................no nonsense,unadulterated,kick-a$$ rockers who produce pure metal, not noise. :eek: Pat Travers was great when he had Pat Thrall with him..................still pretty good. Love Queenryches' debut CD............if only it was recorded better.

    RLA.......................the store in question is a Magnolia Hi-Fi that I pop in to 1-2 times a month & have a good rapport with a particular salesman..........good guy. Will bs with me for an hour if not busy & never tries to sell me anything. He has actually steered me toward less expensive...

    The idea of buying a demo HDTV..........

    Thanks for the reply BMX.................I've never dealt with the innards of a RP Tv. My ex has the 60" Pioneer Elite(which is fine because I hated the reflection on that thing) & we never had a lick of trouble with it. How involved is it to change out a bulb? I'm no EE but I do have a bit of...

    The idea of buying a demo HDTV..........

    Thanks Ray..............................my gut feeling is to agree with you. This thing could have anywhere from 1000-3000 hrs on it already, so unless they were willing to change out the bulb at no cost before I took it, it is probably not enough of a discount. That doesn't even take into acct...

    The idea of buying a demo HDTV..........

    After reading the thread on X'ed warranties,I was curious of how good/bad of an idea it would be to buy a demo(LYs model) on sale. I have a chance to get a 56" Samsung DLP at about $2700 out the door($3500 list). I can kind of figure the pros & cons a bit, a pro(?) being that if the unit had...

    If you could buy Monster cables...

    The USA Today article is in the "Steam Vent" forum................... I certainly wouldn't buy any speaker wire bearing their name & only interconnects if I had absolutely no other choice...............hasn't been an issue so far.

    Yamaha reciever

    I was at the Bellevue store last year looking at a pair of Studio 60's(80's?) for $1600 & the guy wouldn't budge a penny. If he could have got me out the door at $1600(just cover tax) he would have had a sale. It was that close. Being in Bellevue I'm sure he probably feels he could sell them any...

    Which 5ch Amp?

    Depends on what you like. I have a Yamaha & have amped the 2 fronts. I don't like listening to music with a center on, so I listen in either 2 or 4 ch stereo(all speakers large). The Yammy does a decent job for music if it doesn't have to push 5-7 speakers. Whether you set the speakers to...
