I'm starting to feel the need for a projector upgrade. I'm currently using an Optoma H79 720p DLP which I've had for a couple of years now. It throws a pretty good image and I've always said I wouldn't be interested in changing it until something came...

Hi,A couple of months ago I asked for opinions on rear surround speakers to match n-sats, n-cent and n-sub, and although no suitable answers were put forward one or two others appeared to have the same requirement.I have finally set up the system with...

All in the title I guess, it's just I noticed the SBLs that a have replaced the Keosas now "pull" some of the colour on my CRT. As we are looking to replace it I wondered if the same thing applies the newer stuff.

Hi guys;I just acquired a 122x/150x combo to replace the 112/90.3 demo pieces I had. They were connected in conjunction with a NAD AV receiver (T753) and REL subwoofer. I had the NAD's sub out connected to the REL's low level input while the NAP's...
