Im looking at buying a new receiver and center channel. This is the receiver I was looking at. I dont need anything fancy, just something more updated from what I got with a little more power. I would love any other recommendations. As far as the receiver goes, Im not looking to spend more than about $250. I would like it to be one that Best Buy stocks too because they are sending me a $130 gift card that I am going to use towards it.
As for the center channel. I dont really have any idea what brand is good to go with. I dont wanna spend more than about $200 for a center channel but I can be flexable if its worth so. Any kind of recommendation would be great. I was looking at this one. On a seprate note, I have 2 questions. 1. If i unhook my subwoofer from my surround system, will the bass come out of my front 2 speakers instead because I have 2 rather large pioneer towers that have nice subs in them and sound great but they dont get any of the bass. 2. Is getting monster speaker wire worth the price???? Die young and save yourself.... @yontsey Last edited by Yontsey : 2006-09-17 at 23:27. |

Um...I have...a 20" Magnavox...but it has component input!
That's my dream TV right now. 23-inch, widescreen, 720p, HDMI...and it looks nice, to boot. If I can convince my dad to pay for half of it as a graduation present, I'll spring for it. As for a home theater system...I'll worry about that down the road. Like, never. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Monster Cable: Don't waste your money. Check out BlueJeansCable.com and Monoprice.com for cables. Subwoofer: Not necessarily. You have to go into your receiver's settings and turn off the subwoofer, otherwise you'll actually *lose* more low-end because of the crossover (it redirects low frequencies from the speakers to the sub). Unless your receiver has some sort of auto-detect, but that would probably require rerunning the auto-calibration. I don't even think my Yamaha RX-V2600 does that. (On a side note, auto-calibration doesn't work well. Spend the $20 on an SPL meter at Radioshack and do it right) |

Next month we'll be adding a Lumagen HDQ video processor and Prismasonic H1200 lens, to turn it into a constant height setup. At that point, we're also going to replace the DVD player with something modded for SDI. My parents decided they didn't trust me with picking out the equipment, which is why we didn't get much of the equipment I was going to get. The projector and speakers were my choice (not that I had one when it came to speakers, it was either Paradigm or M&K). They hired a local installer instead. It was hard enough just convincing the guy to order a 2.35:1 screen, much less to get a Mitsubishi projector. Edit: The screen is 46x110", BTW. |

AtomicBB: Yep, that's a winner. Matter of fact, the only "loser," is the poor dude on the screen. Well, there's always the Pro Bowl, Phyllis! |

So plans don't always play out. I've moved into my new house, but just hung the screen back on the wall and the speakers still sit on the cabinet. Oh well. I like it and it works. I still want the projector, but that's for the future.

My system that I'm ready to start building in my attic:
Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 235 Speakers: Onix Rocket X-LS (4) and X-CS (1) Infinite Baffle Subwoofer: >>Amp: BEHRINGER A500 Reference Power Amp 2 x 230W >>Drivers: Mach 5 Audio MJ-18 (2) This is right around $1K from the right places, and I'm seeing if my parents will upgrade our TV so I can get a hold of our 27" CRT (480p) I already own a nice 5 disk Yamaha CD changer, and some other AV stuff. Right now I'm running a Logitech z-5500 system, which sounds incredible for $210, but is nothing compared to the depth and power of an IB subwoofer and real speakers! |

it's a hookah for tobacco. i like orange or apple flavored....
very under appreciated in the US... everyone here thinks hookahs are just for pot.... the anti-arabic sentiment doesn't help with getting any legitimate hookah bars opened up in the US.... however raleigh, NC got their first on on Hillsborough street this past year.... if you've never tried one i recommend it..... |

So, I've decided to spend some of my hard earned second job dollars and start upgrading my home theater. My current one is only about 5 years old, but I went the bang for the buck route while still in undergrad. So I decided to build piece by piece this time. Purchased so far: - Harman/Kardon AVR 645 ($460) - Harman/Kardon DVD-37 upscaling (720p, 1080i) DVD player ($70) In the pipeline: - Panasonic 42" plasma (TH-42PX77U) - Infinity Beta 50 speakers (FL, FR) - Infinity Beta C360 (center) A work in progress and probably one future eviction notice due to noise complaints, but who the heck cares.
