Oppo makes a 3 input HDMI device as does Impact Acoustics. I really like the Radiient HDMI switchers that have models with at least 4 HDMI inputs. Greg

I would rather watch paint dry or flies mate than watch a movie on a cell phone. Greg

"Dusty" has stayed too long I have own a four-tiered black metal stand from many years ago--I believe it was made by Sanus. The positives are everything is accessible and air circulates easily to cool the equipment. The negatives are that since it is open the dust has an easy path to get in...

I'm usually pretty good at performing standard 5.1 to 7.1 set-ups. Other than an SPL meter I don't have any advanced electronics to test everything or an ISF certifcation:-)

There is nothing preventing a couple of manufacturers from adding Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and HDMI 1.3 in the future to universal players. But I bet there is little desire for companiesto do that, as both DVD-A and SACD are dying formats (and I own a Pioneer 59avi and Denon 2910). Heck, Sony's Blu...

Gene- Not to sound like a shameless shill, but an excellent article and quite refreshing to see an honest and straightforward company like APC take a leadership position in the audio/video power conditioning/surge protecting, and battery back-up field. Using advanced engioneering/design...

In a medium sized room direct radiators probably make more sense. Even more sense wold be direct radiators that are built to be bi-amped or tri-amped (or are already bi and tri-amped). That said, I would also love having a good-sized line array in my living room where I'm sitting back at least...

I am building a second surround system. I could spend up to $2,000 on a subwoofer, or more likely, 2 x $1,000. This should yield better dispersal of sound and help avoid nulls.

The XL-S speaker is a steal at the price. It has a great looking pale shadow maple finish, as opposed to many competitors vinyl or black paint models. It has excellent drivers at this price point (probably untouchable by competitors) and sounds great. For most people with small to medium-sized...

I have a 15 wide x 22 long x 10 foot high media room. It would be great to get 2 subwoofers to put in each of the front corners. I currently have a pair of Monitor Audio GR10's in both the front and back, along with a Monitor Audio Gold center channel speaker. My current MA subwoofer is...

The highest the 84TXSi, or any other current receiver will upconvert is 1080i. You'd need to get a fancy Gennum, DVDO, or Lumagen scaler to do 1080p The new expensive Anthem D2 preamp/av surround controller has Gennum and does 1080p, but it costs north of $6K. If you have one of the few...
