If you got a stereo system then hook it up to that. You need the right cable for it. I get great sound from doing this.

The best way is of course to listen for yourself.I've got Klipsch on my home theatre and came within a breath of getting then for my computer but like here I found the low end was somewhat lacking.Excellent speakers though.

What have you got for your AV setup, Idol?

I was a bit stuck for space, so I bought the RF-35 system (same as the RF-82, now).

Bass is not a problem, but nevertheless, I'm gonna pick up a pair SVS PC Ultras once I soften up Ms. J. a bit more.

I've also come to the conclusion a good home theater system can really only be properly evaluated with hardwood floors.

Carpeting basically sucks.

That sub with the ProMedia setup kicks ass, btw.

I was lucky to come into a very small inheritance when a neighbor/client passed away and since all my stuff was at least a decade old I treated myself to what I thought was the best within the funds available.

For receiver I looked primarily for how well it handled video more than audio hence the Pioneer.

For the TV in a relatively bright room (although seriously overpriced )nothing matched LED so the Samsung.

Samsung 46" Series 8000 260mMHZ LED HDTV

Klipsch F1/C1/S-1/SW-350 Sub

Pioneer Elite VSX-23TXH receiver

Also running a Cogeco(Motorola) HD PVR and a PS3 for the blu-ray

[j2k4]

Nice!

I've always been partial to the Elite series...I don't think they get enough respect.

My flat-screen is a 40" atm; gonna shop 55"s as soon as tax season is tied-up.

Still need to decide on a Blu-ray - can't wrap my mind around buying a PS3 to get it; I'm not sure I want people saying, "Hey, I'll bring some games over!".

Thinking about changing out my old receiver, too, but.

[IdolEyes787]

Yeah I went back and forth on the blu-ray but after reading a lot of opinions and considering the cost would be more or less the same it seemed to make the most sense to get the PS3.Only downside is you have to purchase a separate remote and the PS3 remote is poorly laid out and not even backlit.
Of course if you are planning to go with a unified remote like one of the Logictech Harmonies then it isn't a factor.
That and the PS3 isn't as dead silent as a dedicated blu-ray player.

Btw I have found it to be true that the cheaper HDMI cables purchased through NewEgg do just as good a job as the Monster ones .Of course I have all the cables fairly neatly aligned if that makes any difference.
Also don't see any noticeable benefit to the 260 Hz.

[j2k4]

Yeah, I've been on Newegg's HDMI cables for a while now; I've stocked about ten of them 'cuz they're cheap, and the ones I've got in use work flawlessly.

Can't figure how people are still conned into spending stupid money on the bloody things.

I appreciate your commentary re: the PS3 - I prefer silence, and, on the other hand, I really liked my sister's Harmony when I visited - money well-spent, I think.

I've also been looking at (or rather, Ms. J has been looking at) a line of flat-screens with nice specs and (reportedly) reliable wireless streaming performance into the bargain.

My PC is only about twenty feet away, with line-of-sight.

Thinking about that, too.
