    BOSE=BLOSE-

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    This is standard procedure for Boze. Do you think they want to put on paper how bad their speakers really are?

    That is exactly what I told them after they refused to give me any specs several years ago. They didn't even have anything to say to me after that, they just hung up. I was even asking almost the exact same question as you concerning the bass cut off for using a sub.

    I have also pi$$ed off a car dealer because of Blose. I wanted to get one of their vehicles but didn't want to pay for the standard audio system which had Blose speakers. I asked him why I should pay for something I was going to have to rip out and replace. I was asked to please leave the lot.11.gif

    Denon 2805/3805 for music

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    From what I have been reading the Denon recievers are some of the best HT receivers. I have noticed they include a phono input. This got me to thinking, how do these units do for music? (I listen mainly to rock). I currently have an Onkyo TX-SR500 and it does pretty good for HT but really lacks in music.

    Thanks

    Consumer Reports: cheap Panny beats H-K

    First off let me say that Panasonic makes some good stuff. Yes my RP82 DVD died on me last week, but I know of 3 friends who have Pannys some that are older than mine and havent had any problems.

    I still remember consumer reports blasting the Rotel 855 just because it didnt have a headphone jack. That was probably one of the best CD players I have ever owned.

    Hi, everybody. I am still here. I work a job with alot of long hours away from home, so I am not around much anymore.

    This may not be the longest thread out there, but it has to be one of the oldest at over 4 years now. I still have my V2.400s and use them when ever I am home. (I do have to wonder how much these famous speakers would bring on eBay.)

    I had made a page on geocities with all the pictures but was taken down for some reason. My other one of the CueCat is still up and it is older. Go figure. Someone did a screen capture of that page , I'll see if I can link to it for your viewing pleasure.

    Boiled Linseed oil

    So, flat black WalMart spray point wont cut it?3.gif

    I have used linseed oil on a pair of walnut finished Bose speakers. 6.gif atleast they looked good.

    All kidding aside, the best thing about oil is if you mess up or are not happy with the finish, a little steel wool and you start over fresh again.

    I asked her. She replied, what else would you hook up? She will have a DVD player and a Satellite tuner. That's it. Tape deck? No. Turntable? no again. VCR? Nope. Most people have already gotten rid of their turntables and tape decks. More and more people are getting rid of their VCRs also. I can see her point.

    I looked at my HT set up. All I have hooked to my Onkyo receiver is my DVD, Satellite, and VCR. I haven't used my VCR in at-least 3 years. I do have a separate set up for 2 channel audio only, but that just a CD player and a Turntable hooked into it.

    So now I am really thinking, too. What else would one hook up to their HT? Maybe streaming in .mp3s is about the only thing I can think of. Do manufactures have an inferiority complex? Do they need to put in all the extra jacks to show, "Look how big mine is"? While I continue to search for the receiver she wants, think about it.

    Yikes $4000 for the Bel Canto! 6.gif That kind of blows the budget.

    On the low end of things I have found the Pioneer VSX-C301. Perfect set up on inputs. It however lacks S video, Component video, and good binding posts (just has the cheap spring clips).

    The search goes on.
