I remember when "Lost in Space" and "The Outer Limits" aired in black and white. I remember watching the original, black & white version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still", starring Michael Rennie,...

I am a Trekkie, and that Voice Box looks a whole lot like a Borg cube. "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

I had a system which consisted of a Yamaha RX-v663, a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 50's, a Polk CSiA4, a pair of Polk RTi4's and a Polk PSW505. I can tell you from personal experience that my Monitor...

Give him a pair of oven mitts and a lifetime supply of marshmallows with the purchase of a 500-watt, class A mono amp.

I first got hooked on Polk speakers back in the spring of 1981. I was a college student in Washington, D.C. I went to Audiokrafters one Saturday afternoon to audition speakers. I heard a pair of...

Just pulled the trigger on a Hsu Research STF-2. I got it for $319, which is $30 less than the regular price of $349. I am extremely pleased with it. I never heard a speaker sound so good right...

Hi guys,
I am looking for a great deal on a pair of large floorstanders. I auditioned the RTiA5's, and I really liked them. I saw the RTi8's on Polk eBay for $400 for the pair. The RTiA5's are...

A three-legged dog in the Old West walked up to the sheriff and said, "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."

Thanks, mhardy6647. I was sweating bullets for a minute there. I thought that somehow I did something wrong.

What does "/\reported/\ "mean? I saw this as a reply to my last post.

Blast from the past.

Hi guys!! Thanks for all the input. I just saw 20 Million Miles to Earth a few days ago. It was interesting. Keep 'em coming.

Okay.

On several posts, I've seen the phrase, "modded by Trey". What does this mean?

Mylon LeFevre: Faith, Hope, and Love
The Imperials: A custom compilation cd that I made with songs such as "Let the Wind Blow", "Wings of Love", "Free the Fire", etc.

Hi guys!! I'm pleased to see such a variety of movies mentioned, some of which I've never seen, such as THX 1138 and Metropolis. Do you guys remember Soylent Green, which starred Charlton Heston? ...

I have the two titles that I mentioned in my OP. I got Forbidden Planet from J&R, and I got The Day the Earth Stood Still from Wal-Mart, of all places. And, although they aren't quite classics,...

Okay, there is no new movie genre called "classic sci=fi". I meant for it to read "classic sci-fi". OOPS!!

Hi guys!! I'm sure that this has been asked a jillion times, but I'd like to know what your favorite classic sci-fi movie is. I really like a bunch of them, but two of my favorites are Forbidden...

I REALLY enjoy cooking shows. Some of my favorites chefs/cooks are Paula Deen, Anne Burrell, Jacques Pepin, Lydia Bastianich, Alton Brown, Giada Delaurentis, Pat and Gina Neely, Mario Batali, Emeril...

One piece of info that I did not mention in my OP is that I will be using the speakers mentioned with an SVS PB12NSD sub.

The '8's are available for about $400, and the '70's are available for $335. How do the two compare soundwise? BTW, I am willing to pay the extra $65 for real wood. Thanks for your help.

I originally planned to have the following speakers:

Fronts: Polk Audio RTiA3's
Center: Polk Audio CSiA6
Surrounds: Polk Audio RTi4's
Sub: SVS PB12NSD

My thought was that when I...

As you can see by my name, I am a science fiction fan. I have been a Star Trek fan for more than 40 years. Like Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise 1701-D, I enjoy Earl Grey tea.

The main reason why I chose the Monitor 70's over the RTiA5' or 7's is cost. From what I've seen, the 5's cost about twice as much as the Monitor 70's. But, if you or anyone else can let me know...
