Wouldn't the obvious solution be to purchase a center speaker? Also, don't most AVR's have preset modes that include settings that are optimized by purpose such as sports, movies, general tv? At least that's my premise as I do some...

I am looking to replace a NAD 712 conventional stereo receiver with something that supports 5.1 or 7.1 audio. Although for the foreseeable future, we will most likely just use it as a 3.0 system. I plan to use my existing speakers...

Thanks, re no dialog enhancement. What about the ability to limit loud sounds such as the commercial volume reduction techniques some devices have? Does it have any features along that line?

What, you bose owners ashamed to answer on this board ;-) I just want to know if there's dialog enhancement capabilities on these things. The 1SR is highly overpriced but I have yet to see something that form factor and sound wise I...

I used the output of my cable box to get audio into my powered speakers. Works fine.

Polk, BW, Golden Ear, etc seem to offer these >$1500 un powered sound bars. I'm sure they're good quality and all that. Just wonder if there's any meaningful value to them or if they're just the usual audio hoodoo where people equate...
