Plasmas do better with ****tier signals. I agree, there are some good lcds for SD, but 90% of it is the signal you are feeding it. If you have a very low compression and no noise in your signal,...

There are still some other good high-end plasmas out there, like Runco and Fujitsu. Hitachi, another good brand, had a very impressive plasma, that got upstaged by Pioneer at the CES show because...

I think you've got your facts a little mixed up:

1.)Don't trust what you see on a showroom. Plasmas absolutely kill lcds on standard def. I'm a supervisor for one of Circuit City's tv/home audio...

I really want the panel or something just like the one in the Polk Momo Subaru WRX Show car. Does anyone know where I could procure something like it? I believe it replaces where the clock goes...

possibly. I know the digital audio selector on onkyo's with HDMI cycles through Fiber Optic, Digital Coax, and HDMI as a digital audio source in the same menu. So in theory, you would use both...

Classic problem: HDMI is digital, Component is analog. You do need a tv with HDMI, cause receivers won't downscale HDMI to component, or a device that will do that and maintain the proper...

lol, I definately checked that. The menu of the DVD says "DTS-HD", but it only comes out as DTS. And while HDMI has 10 wires, a bunch of that is for video, HDCP handshaking, and Two-way device...

Ok, check this out: I hooked up a panasonic bluray player, which will bitstream out the DTS-HD track, up to an Onkyo TX-SR605 today, and could not get the receiver to play in DTS-HD. Tried all...

as far as I know, the onkyo receivers that decode trueHD and dts hd will accept over fiber optic and digital coax. Whether or not your player will output the bitstream out of those connections is...

I run the TV/Home Audio department at my Circuit City, and have those Sonys, and Monitor Series Polks on display, nearly side by side running through a Denon DRA-37 Stereo Receiver on a speaker...

yeah, I'm curious too; how the hell did you blow those tweeters out, and on 3 different speakers? I run an Onkyo TX-SR703, with Rti6s, 4s, and a CSi3. I've cranked the amp full tilt, and never even...

yeah, I agree, for basic users, the monster one is waaay overkill. It may be a rip off if you have a single room system where all the components will be line of sight, and you don't need lighting...

ok, I've had 2 659s, one for myself and one for my dad. he's had two buttons just pop off, and I had a few that just stopped working. Reliabilty aside, the feel of the 550 is better, in terms of...

The 880 is good, thats what I use. The chargers on the 880 and 890s seem to develop problems with the contacts quite often. The fix is to put something on top of the remote when its on the charger....

the 659 is a piece of ****. The buttons will stop working in about 8 months, and the display is hard to read with extended text. So is the 670. The only advantage to the 659/670s is that they have...

Here's the deal: I have a Pioneer DEH-P6900UB with a Seagate 120gb usb powered drive. There were several obsticales that I ran into, but I got it to work with common sense. This will probably help...

Ok, just got my SR124 DVC sub and my momo c500.1 on accommodation from polk. My question is on the speaker wire hookup from the sub to the amp. The manual only mentions the connection of a single...

Ghetto:
Running your amp power leads from the back of your cigarette lighter because you are too lazy to drill a hole through your firewall.

Thats the problem with people who've only heard Bose in an HT setup. They don't know what they are missing, or how much they got raped up the a$$. Learn something about HT, and read this:
...

Bose stands for "Buy Other Sound Equipment".

Well, for one, it has a built-in crossover, like most halfway decent subs. I can cut it down to 40hz, and sub has 5 built-in DSP EQ effects. I believe the wattage ratings; this is a Velodyne, not a...

Or here's an idea: it wouldn't solve the mystery, but put a switch in-line on the main power line that goes to your amp. Wait for the truck to turnover, and then flip the switch.

I've got a Velodyne DPS-12 sub, and since I've upgraded my Polk RTi6s in the front of my home theater setup to 2 Polk SDA-2s, the Velodyne is really not all that necessary.

I'm wondering how well...

if you have a wall behind your TV, get a simple shelf or do something with angle brackets.
