First off, this is a fan-effing-tastic center. period. end of story. I have either owned or demo'd just about every (worthwhile) high-end center speaker, and the CC400 is the king of all kings. BG has a new CC500 coming out soon that will be the new "ultimate" center, to go with the updated...

Posting my Integra 80.1 processor for sale, $1500 Shipped to anywhere in USA – 6 months old and like new in every way, box / papers etc and latest firmware installed. Not a mark on it, remote is still in the plastic. all books still in plastic. Cost new was $2600 plus tax. Any takers? I...

Sold!! Sold!!

cool deal- sent you an email so let me know if you get it.

Sure, just tack on $20 USD for the insured shipping. I'll send you a PM with my contact info. (UPDATE) - Looks like I can't send you a PM, probably because your registration here is still waiting on confirmation.

FS- Just got it two weeks ago. I am selling this, new in box with all accessories as new, with only 5 hours on it of CD playback only, for $745 shipped via Fedex to anywhere in the 48 States. I am going to pick up a BDP-95 instead since I would prefer to have the XLR analog hookups for...

Latest firmware, dust free and used for 4 months. Model BDP-320. Total of about 25 movies watched on it. Original box, manuals, remote etc as new. Absolutely no complaints, extremely good picture quality. Analogue CD quality is marginal, but hey it's not meant to be a reference CD transport. I...

Just purchased a BDP-93 Nuforce Edition, I'm hoping it will serve well as a CD transport and save me some space in the equipment rack. All I have right now is a Pioneer Elite BD player and it is ok for movies but horrid for CD or HD audio. Anyone who presently owns a 93NE, let me know your...

No longer available- Consider this deal "gone", the Samsung is getting picked up by my dealer tomorrow afternoon for return.

Integra DTR-80.2 will fit your budget and deliver a superior experience. Check the specs / features on Integra website, and of course the many reviews on the internet. If you don't need XLR capability, the 40.2 is the same without XLR at a lower price. However, you'll get the best upgrade by...

Thanks- Definitely a good suggestion. I had planned on it (been a member there since 2008) but just haven't made time. [UPDATE] - Apparently I am losing my mind, I listed them there on 4/23. ;p

If those speakers sound half as good as they look, at that price it's looking like a definite winner. They look like they cost twice that, especially with details such as spiked feet and flared base.

I think there is a lot of truth and good points in your clarification of that- Compromises, no doubt. Choosing the 'best speakers' are a very subjective and personal thing irrespective of price point. Spending a lot of time auditioning speakers before buying is an absolute must. Buying speakers...

+1 on the SPL meter suggestion- Get one at RatShack for $50. Use "C" weighting and "Slow" reponse, set the DB range wheel to 85db. Tone the system using the built in test tones on the receiver (level settings menu) and gain to 65db at all speakers, or, if you can gain it enough I would prefer...

Yep that will work fine, have been guilty of that myself in the past. Upgrade your processor and go digital when you can, especially a newer processor that has the latest surround modes and HD decoders. You'll be pleasantly surprised on the difference. Onkyo gives you pretty strong bang for the...

Nice speakers especially at that price - good luck w/ sale

Wow- nice 'non committal' response from Denon. I suppose though that is the best you'll get on the subject from them. Have you tried posing this question on AVS Forums? There are a number of electronics gurus over there, may be of some help.

Only purchase a better quality amp if you plan on upgrading everything else later as well. A good amp will give you more volume as mrtycrafts stated, but will not do a single drop for sound quality. A good amp does what it is supposed to do- take input and output it exactly as it was input. My...

I'd suggest starting with a good preamp/processor and separate amplifier vs a combo receiver/amplifier, and using XLR interconnects for a starting point. Shop on audiogon, check ebay occasionally, and of course the forum classifieds here. I really like the Integra 80.2, a lot of quality for the...

What, we can't abuse you here?? you just took all the fun out of it (kidding). Sounds to me like you got stuck with a lemon, unless it failed after 2 years or so- It happens, especially with low-to-mid-end electronics. Overall Onkyo is a very good brand and as you said, a heck of a bang for the...
