Haha, no, but she did say she wished she knew beforehand so she could have told him not to buy it. She's only mildly superstitious so it's not *that* big of a deal to her she claims.
First off, thanks to Vivi for letting me sneak in at the last second! It was a scramble but I got it figured out!
My brother just married a girl from China. To elaborate on the numbers, apparently the Chinese pronunciation of 4 sounds similar to "die". I learned about this last weekend...
Congrats on the purchase, that's quite the upgrade! I honestly don't know what the hype is with 120Hz. I bought an Samsung LED a long time ago (like 10 years) and it was one of the first 1080p models. It's only 60Hz and the picture is still amazing and I love it. I've had zero issues...
I might be looking for a new HDTV (definitely not my first, though!) and I don't care for all the smart features either. Unfortunately all the higher end sets usually have those features, as you've mentioned. I don't understand how you will be "tracked" though? If you aren't using the smart...
Ok, after listening to a few different models at best buy I think I've decided to bump my budget up a little bit. I'm thinking speakers now in the 800-1k range for the pair. I listened to some Energy CF50's, and they said those are owned by Klipsch and apparently better than the Reference...
Awesome, thanks! Just yesterday it was 349 but I hadn't looked today. I'll order it up when I get home from work, and that will give me extra motivation to get my research done and other pieces picked out!
Fair enough, but I'm guessing with my luck I'll end up getting one with issues too. Is there a place where I can demo receivers to see if I even notice the quality difference with the nicer models? Does Best Buy carry enough variation of brands to where I'd see (hear) a difference? I don't...
Definitely. Even with my setup not coming close to yours it still registers as something that can't be an impulse buy. I've been casually browsing for awhile now, but never knew enough to know when/what was actually a good deal. Now that I have the space available I need to start getting my...
Yeah I was seeing the HDMI issue in a bunch of reviews too, but wasn't sure if it was just that one model or across all models. Still enough for cause to worry though. I don't see any of the 2112 for remotely that cheap, but I see a 1912 for $410 which still has the Audyssey MultEQ, with the...
Ah, I see. So if I got Klipsch RF 52 IIs (found display model for 269/each instead of 375/each) and that 809 receiver I'd be in business and not have to worry about the brightness?
That would be:
Onkyo 809 for $469
Klipsch RF52 II - $540 for the pair
Klipsch RW12d sub - $300 when it goes...
I think I kind of see (hear? haha) what you're saying, but it's still a little foreign to me. I google'd what "reference volume" was and think I have a decent understanding of it.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by high-efficiency (mid-high 90s) vs mid-efficiency 89. Is that the...
Ah, fair enough. I've got it bookmarked and will keep checking on it!
Amazon is showing it at $469. While it looks like it's a great deal, will it really make THAT much of a difference in SQ over a $250-350 receiver? Especially since I'm not going to be running top of the line speakers...
