I currently have a t.v. setup in my living room above the fireplace with a pair of Focal 836v beside it. After thinking about how I can achieve surround sound and how big a television I can fit above my fireplace I came to the conclusion that the space was terrible for achieving good immersion...

Hi after some searching it all came out to looks, my wife wont approve other speakers that are not all glossy black. She did not like the vi-nil looking black ones. They would be paired to the Classia C255es surrounds...

 I'm trying to do a speaker comparison in the ~$2,000 price range. Unfortunately, no one within any kind of reasonable driving distance carries the ones I am looking at, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Here are the models I am considering (leaning towards one of the first two listed due...

 Hi guys,   I'm looking to buy a Cambridge Azur 351R ($700) and a couple towers to start a new system. Looking at Cambridge S70 ($260 pr) or Focal Chorus 717V ($750 pr).   Are the Focals worth the near $500 extra?    Is the Cambridge Azur 351R (70 w/p/c) really better than the...

My father in law asked me to pick out a new complete 5.1 HT system for him. He gave me a $2000 budget. I am partial to Polk speakers and Yamaha receiver, but only because that is all I have ever had. He really likes how my setup sounds, so not sure if I should stick with what what he has heard...

 Hi All!   What a dilemma! Which pair would you advice me to get? I will be using a Marantz AV 8801 in my living room (25 square meters). Any thoughts, pros, cons?

I heard the Sierra towers courtesy Holt (and that was months ago) and I am going to listen to the 836w hopefully this week. Now as much as I would love to listen to these things at reference levels, I have a 17 month old and my booming home theater days are def put on hold. So I would say now...
