RX-V750 or RX-V1400 for my new speakers
I had the RX-V1400 as the pre/pro, and I loved it, especially the upconversion feature for kids and wife to use w/ a single macro function on the Sony remote control. I sold it to upgraded to a dedicated Fosgate pre/pro. At the time, it held its r... 
HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music
The setup for the Ventroloquist is somewhat unfriendly. All the speakers need to be hooked up to the center. Similar to Bose setup, where all cubes are plugged to the rear of the subwoofer, it does not sound like Bose however. It is impressive for... 
Permanently sealing a vented subwoofer??
Why permanent? Why not plug the vent? If it does not work out well, remove the plug. That is what the Hsu woofer has, i.e. foam to plug and unplug the port. If it works well, you can seal it permanently, if you still insists. Always try to have a ...

Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker?
Chuck,I would love to have your system, but it will take me a long time before I get up to your par. I would love to be able to experience what you described, i.e. the singer sitting on a stool playing a guitar in front of you. I recognize and ack... 
Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker?
Hi all,Thank you very much for your responses. I really enjoy reading all these interesting responses. My current HT setup is a 5.2, and I do have a dedicated center. Similar to the B&W wall series, my full range speakers are the AR Phantom 8.... 
Front- vs. Down-Firing Subs and Amp Issue
I have a Hsu VTF2MK sub, 10" down firing w/ rear dual ports. According the to the manual, if I want to play loud, dual ports need to be opened. If I want deep bass, one port needs to be plugged up. Back to the point, I guess that seal sub can achi... 
Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions
Three years ago, I took the leap of faith to purchase a Panasonic plasma. Up until now, I don't see any burn in. I watch HD channels on cable, but not that much b/c my box keeps getting tiling, i.e. trying locking in signals as signals do get drop... 
Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000.
How about the new Martin Logan Summit @ $10K each. Wow, that would leave little money left for ML Theater i, cables, and tax -- no subwoofer at all. The HT setup would be 3.0 :> )Just Kidding. 
Bitstream of PCM on my DVD player
For DVD-A, which would A'gon members use, digital audio (such as coaxial or optical)cable OR 6 RCA cables for 5.1 setup? 
Martin Logan Script as main speakers?
I copied and pasted the same question on such website on the same day, and still no response like A'gon. I guesed that no one has ever done it before. For an audiophile, main speakers usually have to be full range and bigger than the Script to bri... 
fosgate fap t-1 processor
I have one, and I like it. Because it is my first separate pre/pro, my experience is limited to only Fosgate Fap T1. Prior to that, I was using the Yamaha RX-V1400 as a pre/pro. Not to be bias or to demonstrate the halo effect, I can tell the impr...

CTE500, visit Best Buy stores that have Magnolia HiFi if you are looking for Pioneer Elite plasma.Aroc is right. Every thing is negotiable. Besides, Best Buy offers the 10% coupon to its Reward Zone members all the time. If you are not a member, m... 
Yamaha HT Receiver&Sony DVD player = No DTS
Yeah, if the source (dvd) does not encoded DTS info, you can't get DTS sound output. Yamaha receiver detects DD or DTS automotically each time the DVD player shoots out either DD or DTS. If both formats, DD & DTS, are availabe on the DVD, the ... 
Does the power of an amplifier really matter?
So when the cannon goes off in the 1812 Overture, you guys don't use the subwoofer to take over? Does any body know what's the frequency of that canon in the Overture? Your full size speakers can deliver such power and such low frequency? I am jus...
