In the market for a plasma.........suggestions?
I have to add that Panasonic and Pioneer have always topped the ratings/reviews. Personally I chose the Panasonic Professional series, since it is much cheaper than the consumer models and ships without a lot of extras I don't need (e.g. speakers,... 
Anthem AVM30 and D1 Statement Upgrades
I emailed support about D1 upgrades when the D2 info hit their site. Customer service assured me that upgrades would be forthcoming, but they would come after the complete D2 roll out. There was not specified time frame and the response seemed a b... 
Whaat does Consumer Reports say?
Why don't you just sign-up for their online subscription and read it there. 
Intel Mac Mini
I'm considering getting the new Intel Mac Mini as a HT media server. I am planning on adding an external HD to up the storage to 500 Gigs (to start). Has anyone done this already?I'm curious on what kind of DVI to Component (or DVI to HDMI) cable ... 
What ever happened to...
Yes: Gallo keeps saying they are on the way... "coming in about a month" is the pat answer I've been getting since the summer. Anthem's web site hasn't been updated in almost a year, and their CSR said back in May that it was scheduled by Q3 of 20... 
Harmony Remote Control
I have the older version, and have to say it is the best remote I've used. Programming is easy via the web-based system. As I have upgraded or swapped out components updating the device was very simple. Yes the buttons are a bit small, and the lay... 
DAC with AirTunes?
I've been looking for a similar solution. I've read about Scott Nixon's TubeDAC+ which is a low-cost DAC with a tube output stage. There are good threads on A'gon about it. If anyone has any personal experience with it, I'd be interested to hear a... 
"Professional" or "Commerical" Display Monitors
I went with the Professional model Panasonic 42" EDTV model, and have been extremely pleased with it. Make sure it has the inputs you need, or purchase the add-on boards to satisfy your current and future needs. Each year when the new models come ... 
Quick clarification
I would disagree with Chadnliz. Having run my full-range speakers with HT and also with a Sub, the sound is much better with a sub. There are numerous threads here that argue back and forth as to the best way to integrate a subwoofer. My personal ... 
Home Theater In a Box?
I second the Gallo speaker recommendation (www.roundsound.com). Although you may be better off with a non-Gallo subwoofer. The speakers have amazing sound, small package, versatile mounting options and aesthetically will complement your LCD TV qui... 
Velodyne DD: 10 or 12?
I will add that the DD-12 should be fine. The onboard digital EQ should equalize most of the bumps and dips. I've got my room nearly flat all the way to 22hz. 
Gallo 3 Reference Center - Anyone got one?
Been waiting as well. Got an email from Gallo saying they're hoping to have them in by the end of November. Not sure how real that date is, given it was supposed to be end of September then mid-October, etc.The Gallo UK web site has better informa... 
Gallo Ref3 Subwoofer Amplifier
I drove the second coil via 2 unused channels on a multi-channel SS amp, through an ICBM crossover for about 7 months. I did notice some more depth on the bottom end, but not the WOW factor that I experienced when I switched to a Velodyne DD-15 su... 
Hybrid system with separates vs. receiver
I had a similar set up as I transitioned from a receiver to separates. I used the receiver to power the center and surrounds and passed-through the L/R to an external amp. It worked fine.However, because the Arcam and McCormack have different powe...
