I do feel though that for the true HT experience you must have the rear speakers. Not for the phoney stuff that some discs use. But for Stalones Cliffhanger. When the helicopters come from the rear speakers before anything shows up on the screen i...

Thanks for the input. That really isn't an option for me because my 2 channel system is tubed based Rogue Magnum M120 mono's. I don't want to power them up unless needed. That is why I am thinking SS for the base system.

Okay, thank you. I had tried the 16:9 set up in the xbox menu but it still cuts off the top and bottom. I am running Madden 2006 and maybe the game won't allow the 16:9 format. I will try some other games. Thanks again.Scott

More info please? What sat box, what connection? 
Too much bass
Just got up after a good nights sleep and thought about the power tube issue. If the KT88's could cause this then that is likely my problem. The Rogues are the original 120's with the internal dip switches. I bought them several years ago as they ...
