What price range are you talking? Music Hall makes some very nice 'tables at a pretty good price. You could get something pretty good for $200, and of course you could spend enough on a 'table to buy the top Porche.;)

It's hard to go wrong with Hsu Research. They make some great subs in your price range. SVS makes very good subs, too. I think there's a link to them from AH. Velodyne is a solid brand, as is Def Tech & Paradigm. Axiom & Outlaw make nice subs, the latter being designed as a collaboration...

Will Fry's allow you to return them if you don't like them? If so I'd say it's worth a shot. If not...well, that's a bit more problematic. You can read reviews and surf these forums til you're blue in the face and not be any closer to an answer. Don't get me wrong- research is an important...

That's the really funny part. People think you've lost your mind for buying a $650 DVD player, but those same guys will drop a grand on a set of golf clubs that I view as completely uselss.

Perhaps at the real low end speakers are 'genre specific' but a good speaker will cleanly & accurately reproduce whatever you throw at it. My Bronze B2s do a great job of heavy metal (from Metallica & Slayer to old school Priest & Maiden). But I also play a lot of folk, indie rock & jazz on...

I'd do cartwheels over a $1k Denon pre-pro, or I might. But Denon has never made prepros for that market/price point. I'd fully expect $3k. Better would be an "entry" model roughly based upon the 3806 sans amps, with a more high end model, too. That's where the whole thing starts to get...

I'll come right out and identify myself as a Monitor Audio fanboy!:D That said, I'd take the Bronze B1's over all comers in that price range. I have a pair of Bronze B2's in front of me hooked up to my computer; the sound is hard to believe at the price.

The SVS will no more 'require' EQ than any other sub. It is designed for flat response without equalization. Perhaps you're thinking of the HSU TN-1220; it's an underdamped design with a deliberate slight roll off in the lowest end. The HSU tube does require their EQ module to flatten the...

It's hard to make a diagnosis based on the slender info provided, but there's a lot of factors in the sound. Especially with a receiver as sophisticated as that Denon. A lot of flexibilty= a lot of complexity, unfortunately.:)

I think they will unveil an 'AE-1080' at CEDIA. While I agree the AX-100 is neat, it's just a gussied up '900U. It would be appealing to those that were about to pull the trigger on a 900U, but I'm more interested in a 1080P model.:cool:

Ironically though the prepro's are generally more expensive than the receivers. When I ask why I usually get a lecture on macroeconomics and economy of scale. Still, you'd think it would be extraordinarily easy to make one- at the least they could take all the guts of a reciever & put it into...

I for one love the 3805 remote. It took some getting used to, but I'd say the poster who advised you to try new batteries is spot on. My remote is a friggin' light cannon! One thing I really love about it is that you can choose how long it will stay lit- that's a nice feature. I opt to have...

The number of the volume setting is completely arbitrary- it doesn't correspond to any actual acoustic value. I wouldn't worry at all about the setting provided you're not hearing distortions or running overly hot. Different brands have different interfaces, nothing to worry about. I'm on my...

Back in the day Denon made a pretty high end proc called the AVP-8000. But to the best of my knowledge they've never released an A/V prepro since then. I know recievers are their bread & butter, but I wonder why they haven't tossed their hat into the ring again? Is it that some of the other...

This peice got pretty good reviews when it came out, and I think it is nearly identical to the Outlaw. I wish I needed a new pre pro!

The question has been asked before but I'm sorry to say I can't really tell you right off. Not that I don't want to, I just can't remember.:o Seems like we initially set it at 10 or 15 or something. There's no rule as to what the posts must be, but we don't like people to simply spam to...

I don't normally repost from other forums, but I thought I'd copy a quick mini review I posted to AC an hour ago: After considerable hemming and hawing (as they say in these parts) I finally pulled the trigger on some Adapt corners for my music/HT room. I'm an inveterate cheapskate, and am...

RLA makes an excellent point- PJs, like most displays, are set up too bright out of the box most of the time. You really will need to calibrate most of them to get a really nice picture. The advantage of the Brilliant White is that the extra gain should allow you to run the PJ in 'eco mode'...

I didn't say it didn't take skill, just that those sports are dull as dishwater to watch. At least to me. Certainly you could play golf til you're 110- it's silly to even call it a sport. It's a game. I'd put it up there with lawn darts & bocci ball. I definately don't understand the...

Can't beat advice right from M&K! And a bargain you really can't afford isn't a great deal. There's always good deals popping up.
