    Universal Remote that you guys recommend?

    Yeah the harmony's are limited. Joey, the MX-3000 is $1000 retail, but can be had on ebay for under $400. Its really a great remote if you can get your hands on one. Try the Harmony 1000 and if you feel it is too limited, upgrade to the MX-3000.

    Universal Remote that you guys recommend?

    Joey, for your system, just get the Universal MX-3000. Not as easy to program as the Harmony remotes but A LOT more options and just overall a much more flexible remote. Its the remote of choice for the SERIOUS home theater enthhusiast. Harmony's are cool if you have family that doesn't know...

    Home Theater Receiver Advice

    Denon 4308 will give you all the latest and greatest features and give you decent quality sound. I think it is probably the best receiver in that price range.

    HD DVD players... :(

    I see this TV 5 days a week. I sell them. I also sell Pioneer plasmas. LCD technology has come a long way, but 120hz using 3:2 pulldown is sad to watch. Local dimming is frustrating. Macroblocking is barely tolerable. LCDs at 52 or larger consume more energy than plasmas. I sell these things...

    HD DVD players... :(

    Why so many people buying LCDs over Plasma?? :( It boggles the mind that people with such an appetite for high-end sound will succumb to a washed out, blurry picture of an LCD. The glare argument is way overhyped too, LCDs still give glare, and nice plasmas give very little glare.. example...

    Subwoofer (Depth i) placement/settings question

    First of all congrats on your new ML system, you're going to love it once you have it set up properly. What you want to do is reposition your Depth i and then change some of the settings on your RX-V2500.. Go ahead and move the sub to the corner for now. Put it about 1 foot from each of the...

    Crossover settings-Bass Management

    No problems with your settings at all. Some of my MLs at my store are setup using Denon equipment and I use similar settings to you. For your reference, the standard of setting all speakers to small, crossover at 80, etc. is the THX standard for THX certified systems and THX films. It has...

    Vista vs Source

    Honestly I think you are looking at the wrong speakers, why not go right in the middle between the Source and the Vista and get the Purity. The panel on it is more similar to the Vista than to the Source and it's still an affordable solution and not hard to drive at all. You will need a clean...

    Rears: SL3,Aeons,Scripts

    I'd personally go with the Script i's. Find a pair and install them in your system, I think they are the best match for you. And get an ML center to match your Prodigy's also, or just use no center if a narrow sweet spot is okay.

    Phantom center vs real

    I think you're better off going without a center if you do get Vantages. The Fresco i will not match very well, especially at higher volumes. Get yourself the Vantages and save up for a Stage or Motif and put that on the wall.

    Need opinions on Source or Purity

    Yes the Purity is the better speaker, from my experience in our demo rooms it has slightly tighter bass response, and a more dynamic sound all the way through. You have to take into account that the Purity uses a larger panel with clear-spar technology while the Source uses solid spar spacers...

    Matinee Center unveiled

    No it does have one preout.. its a pair of white and red analog per channel. The Purity only has the input for the white (half the pair). Maybe I am not hooking it up right?

    SACD, DVD-A, vs CD

    Is there a list of which universal players or sacd players transfer through dsd? This is important to me in my shopping for a good player.
