Onkyo HT-S6200, A Great HTIB!

A Great HTIB!
Pros
* Has the latest HD Decoders for Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio (lossless audio for bluray movies).
* HDMI passes through sound, therefore no need for extra audio cables (unlike the HT-S5200)
* Sound gets very loud, but maintains clarity. Bass response, tonal balance, dynamic range are very good.
* Several [...]

Sharp HTSB200 2.1 Sound, Great Sound!

Great Sound!
I just received this sound bar today. Took it out of the box and hook-up was a breeze! It looks bigger in the picture but it’s only 31 1/2 inches long, perfect for my TV and stand. It does come with wall mounting hardware also.
Once I turned it on, what a difference! The [...]

Good value, but be forewarned
Overall, this receiver is a good value for the money, but don’t assume anything. Many of the features you’d expect from an A/V receiver are cobbled together in this unit. For example - the HDMI inputs only support pass-through, meaning that they’ll pass the signal on to your TV [...]

Sony HT7200DH Component, Solid entry level receiver..

Solid entry level receiver with great features.
As my first big box Home Theater system, I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I feel the price was worth it.
The system looks great. The speakers are a decent size, and when set up, can look very attractive in a modern themed room. [...]

InFocus SP-LAMP-021, Easiest Replacement Ever

Easiest Replacement Ever
Was able to replace this in a matter of minutes. Cover pops off and then you need to loosen two flat head screws. The old bulb casing slides out, this slides in and you connect one cable. We got thousands of hours of enjoyment out of our first bulb, and as soon as [...]

Versatile receiver for HD and music - Good Value
I’ve had the RX-v465 for over a month now, so i’ve had plenty of time to get comfortable with the receiver. I purchased this b/c it seemed like the best value. My major goals were to find a receiver that had HDMI vid and audio pass-thru and [...]

Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar, A Perfect Fit

A Perfect Fit
I tried several 2.1 speaker systems to enhance the sound from our LCD HDTV. The 2.1 speaker systems used the RCA audio output from the TV but I was never satisfied with the quality of the sound, even from the Bose Companion system. I think part of the problem is with the low-level [...]

Coby CSP96 300-Watt, Step up from tv speakers

Step up from tv speakers
This system arrived as ordered. The system looks good, and performs way better than my TV speakers. While I do not get real surround sound (see below), having speakers all around the room definitely makes you feel in the movie, game, show, etc. I don’t get real surround [...]

Great system, with a couple exceptions
I own a new 40″ Sony Bravia LCD that I hooked this system up to. I was very impressed with its sound and its wide range of features for the price! However, there were a couple areas that I feel need to be addressed.
PROS:
- Excellent sound, especially the Movie DCS [...]

Mac Mini low end model. A much better buy!
So I got one of these little bad boys (the cheaper model) from the apple store the day after they came out. With a student discount it came out to be just under $600 after tax, so I figured why wait for it to be available on [...]
