Vote for Pedro Have you guys seen the clip of Napoleon Dynamite doing the top 10 countdown on Letterman? That's some funny stuff.

www.amusicdirect.com has one of the best selections of hi res discs and vinyl anywhere.

Thanks. I'm planning on a 56TXI and 59TXI combo. But I am waiting till sometime in the summer to purchase. For one so I can put the money together to get everything at once, speakers, sub, and Tv. And second for the very reason you stated above.

I have had a Samsung 30" crt for 2 years. I love it. Great picture quality. I hven't had any problems with it and it has a lot of inputs including 2 high def comp inputs. I bought mine before hdmi so there is no input for that but I think all of the newer models have it. The only thing you might want to consider is later this year Samsung is releaseing thinner crt TVs that will be about as deep as a dlp rear projection TV.

Could be no different because you are running a crt instead of some form of digital projection. I've heard before that hdmi doesn't make a difference on crt based TVs.

If you have a 7.1 system and use i link capable equipment, can you select the rear speakers for DVDA/SACD instead of the sides. I ask because I'm thinking of getting a receiver and DVD player with i link and I don't have mono poles on the sides. Just in the back.

He already has separates. He said he needs a receiver because his needs are changing.

Help from you guys pointing out things I don't think to look or listen for. Mr McGoo if you play a CD over i link does the Pioneer play it in 2 channel automatically or does it apply DPL2x to it?

Well if Yamaha doesn't include i link on anything but the RXZ9 then Pioneer would be my next choice anyway. But it's good to hear from a Klipsch owner about how good Pioneer with i link sounds.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is part of a whole system upgrade. Since I'm one of the Yamaha+Klipsch fans I'm waiting on Yamaha to include i link on more of thier receivers. Then I will get a new receiver and universal player with this Klipsch setup. I've decided on a SVS PB12-ISD/2 for sub duties and probably a Sony 34" XBR TV. I'm a tube guy when it comes to video.

Would it be an upgrade to replace RF, C, S 3-II setup with 4 RB75s and RC7?

I see this on forums a lot. I am in the Yamaha+Klipsch camp. I love the way my setup sounds on music and movies. As far as Klipsch bashing and people with agendas. That's why this forum is the only one I read. I got tired of people talking other people out of Klipsch because that person didn't like them.

I have a 5760 with RF-II setup that I love.

Talk to the store manager. Or report them to Klipsch.

You have too much bass when it causes your kidneys to hurt

I have a 5760 running RF 3-IIs. It sounds awesome.

Alpine has a unit out that controls the ipod through the head unit. It also powers the ipod. Other than that any head unit with an aux input will work. I have a Blaupunkt and my wife has an Alpine and the ipod sounds good through both on the aux in. check out www.ipodlounge.com.

The newer Yamahas have a smoother sound and are not as bright as in the past. I have a 5760 that replaced a Denon 3802 and I love it.

I think its almost human nature to think if you pay more, you get better performance. ---------------- It's worked for blose for a long time now.

I would have complained to his manager about how rude he was. Busted buy salesmen don't know you or what you do or don't know.

Great movie

If he likes Yamaha tell him to order a 5790 from www.jr.com. they are closing them out and J&R is a big reputable company.

You'll have to give us a review. I wish I was going to see them again.
