I suggest that you get the PSB Image T6 speakers for your fronts; they have been judged the best in their price class by Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, Home Theater, etc. etc. Read the reviews. They have nice bass response, down to...

If you really MUST have inwall speakers rather than speakers on shelves...look at the PSB CW363 and CW383. They will give you something approaching good sound quality; the Monoprice speakers will NOT!

This may come as a shock, but for 50 years people just had L/R speakers and NO center...gasp...and got along just fine. Many of us are running 2.1 systems to this very day that sound wonderful. Speaker height should be determined by...

I suggest that you check out the Harman-Kardon 1700 receiver. IMO it is the best-sounding receiver in its price range (under $500). It also has superb connectivity and interfacing for streaming etc.

You can get the Harman-Kardon 1700 receiver for around $350 at Amazon. Music Direct sells the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers for $350 per pair. The Klipsch RW12D subwoofer should cost you around $300 from Amazon. That would be my...

You are implying that DSP must be on at all times in the 3490, which is not true. Read more carefully. When the STEREO position is selected, there is NO digital signal processing. The DSP only takes place when a Dolby mode is...
