I'm not expert here, but I'm in the same boat. Awaiting delivery of a 500m, and decided to go with just bookshelves for now, plugged directly into the monitor (two Polk Monitor 30's). They are not powered speakers, as I've read you...

Escoffier, B&H has been good to me in the past, so I called them to see if they had any 500's in stock. This was this past Monday. They had one left. Hopefully you'll get a replacement. I'm awaiting shipment of one myself (not...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think those audioengine's are powered speakers, which would require a leveler with that display. I do have an old sony receiver here at the house. Guess I could use that in the meantime. Thx!

I realize now it probably was not a good question, especially considering the difference in size between the speakers. My room size is about 18x20, so I'm thinking the Energy's might be small for the space. I'm not an audiophile, but I...

Don't want to start a war, just looking for more seasoned feedback. Just bought a Pioneer KRP-500M, which does not have speakers, so I was all set to buy a pair of Polk Monitor 30's and plug directly into the panel, just keep the volume...

Sorry for the noob question, but just wondering how critical it is to have a panel that has internet connectivity? I know there are different flavors of widgets and on demand content available, but assuming you buy a blue ray player...

Quick question from an av noob. I know it is not recommended to use powered speakers with this panel without a leveler. I am still considering purchasing the 500m, but can I simply plug in my Polk m30's to the back of this set? Will...

Dang, this thread has me skittish. I was set on buying a 500m, but now I'm thinking that even if it gets here in 1 piece, putting it in my family room with 4 kids running around might be a bad idea. Wouldn't hurt as bad if a lower end...

Still in the process of making a decision on a 50" plasma. Was pretty close to settled on the 50V10 (even though I still haven't found one locally), when I got to thinking about last years model, the 50PZ850U. I know that set got very...

OK -not trying to stir the pot here. We're pretty much settled on 50", but was just looking for some honest opinions, that's all.
