| Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price" Yesterday I go to a friends house to see his new plasma. He turns up his Sony receiver pushing his Bose speakers that are jammed up behind his hearth and tv stand. "Listen to that!" - with a big smile on his face. Is that a clue? | |
| Plasma owners any problems?? I am happy with my Philips plasma. Only issue is the HDMI signal sometimes has trouble syncing with the TV and you have to turn off/on the sat box to get it locked up. After that, no issues. | |
| What 'entrance' music? Great thread. I am a baseball fan and often players pick music to play as they come from the on deck circle to the batters box. I haven't seen any of their picks listed so far! | |
| sunfier seperates or one unit I bought a sunfire ultimare receiver back a couple of years ago and couldn't justify spending almost double for essentially the same amplifiers in a different box. What you are getting is a seperate power supply and the ability to buy more interco... | |

| Wish list of higher quality recordings There is an interesting documentary called Kurt and Courtney I think. The premise is to prove that Courtney killed Kurt, they interviewed a bunch of people and attempted to confront Courtney. Is there any good uncompressed ELO material? | |

| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? It would be worth borrowing a sub to see what if any difference exists. | |

| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? If you were watching sitcoms and sports it would be acceptable, but for movies a sub is a must. In fact, ROTS is out tomorrow and I can't wait to watch it and hear it - with the sub. | |
| Need sub recommendations for vr4 jr's The VRS-1 mates extremely well with 4JRs. It is important to fully explore placement (can make a big difference), lead-shot loading, bi-wiring, and good spikes, not to mention amplification with the 4JRs, they are capable of very good bass on thei... | |
| Confusion reigns - tube amp,ss amp, integrated..?? I have a good receiver in a HT setup and wanted to get to a much higher level of 2 channel performance. I decided to go for an integrated with a HT pass through so the integrated would be literally "integrated" and the amp section can be used for ... | |
| I fell victim to a scam That's a bummer. I looked at using an escrow account, it's expensive but may be worth peace of mind. I also like to talk on the phone with the buyer, verify their address, and verify the origin of the gear with the dealer and or manufacturer. I go... | |
| Music Recommendation: Feist - Let It Die I see on amazon that there is an import version as well. Anybody have that - is it worth the extra $10? | |
