Am I on the right track

[Dwain]

I have working on my sytem for about 6- months. Its hard to get information from a sales person so I threw myself in and this is what I have assembled. Am I on the right track or do I need some help?

Dwain,

I would say you are on the right track alright. Looks like you got a fairly decent home-theater rig shaping up there. Dont believe you choose anything wrong, Polk, Denon, Velo, great stuff!

Only suggestions I have is perhaps an upgrade to the tv.

It may also be worth checking into higher grade interconnects!

So far - so good...

[Dwain]

A new tv is in the works but I can't decide on which brand to go with. I have looked at the pioneer elite series and mitsibishi. What would you recomend?

[Dwain]

And what do you mean by interconnects.

[MxStYlEpOlKmAn]

wire, and the wire tips (ie the part that goes into the binding post...my guess...

[Zero]

I am not the TV man, I am afraid... I guess it all depends on what type of TV your looking for.....tube, projection, hdtv, plasma,...

Im sure someone else can make suggestions. I enjoyed JVC and Hitachi tubes.

Interconnect cables- are the cables that are used to link your DVD/CD player and the reciever.

TVS -
MITSUBISHI
JVC
HITACHI
RCA

*Takes Mx's list and scratches JVC and RCA off*

Also include Toshiba cinema series.

I'm sorry to put your shoes out but RCA makes very nice and reliable TV's. Direct and projection. I know this first hand. That is why they cost a little extra but not insanly priced like Sony's.

[MxStYlEpOlKmAn]

Eh...Ive seen JVC tv's. They make nice stuff. Maybe not your standards. But *I* think they make nice TVS. lol Toshiba also makes awesome tvs. I agree. I myself own a magnavox. Its ok. But im not a huge video fan in the first place.

My .02 on the RCA comments, one of the worst repair records in the industry, sorry Scott.

I have a Mitsubishi 65" Very happy with it. I would also upgrade the Center Channel, but that's a personal preference.

[goingganzo]

and switch the surounds and rear surounds the side surounds should be the bi/di polar and the rear should be direct or bi/di if the regular suround is bi/di.

i also seccond the mits tv i have a 65 also and it is a dream if i ever upgrade this tv will be my main tv watching tv when i get the 125in diag front projector.

My RCA TV has been utterly reliable and has a very good picture.

[Dwain]

Thanks for the suggestion Gonzo. I will try it switching them tonight.

I'll second the Mitsu and the Hitachi TV's.

Anyone got any opinions on the new Samsung TV equipment. I was floored when I saw the new Samsung 50" Widescreen DLP-HDTV Monitor at BestBuy the other day.
I got a nice new Samsung SyncMaster 191T LCD monitor for the PC that utterly RoCKs!
