What you guys think about this?

Onkyo HT-RC260

Its between this and the denon-591.
The onkyo seems ideal...but i find im reading too many horror stories of HDMI inputs failing on the new onkyos...and id hate to put out this money only to have the receiver crap out.

[Humes]

I think somebody link that on the page before this one.

[2NR Smurf]

^thats the 608 linked on the prev page.
lots of bad reviews about build quality there too...

[ru$$ell]

i could vouch for the denon,i have the 590,basically same model,just no 3d support. No problems so far except one which i had to hard reset the microprocessor,other than that,works fine!

[2NR Smurf]

^how difficult is hard resetting the processor? and what caused the problem?

[ru$$ell]

^just hold down 3 buttons and it reset's. Had do do over the audyssey setup. For some reason it wasnt sending a signal through the LFE output to the sub.

[2NR Smurf]

Looks like i goin with the 591 yes...

I was thinking the samething

it would be perfect for me...

[X_Factor]

yeah it appears to be the same thing
i saw it in the Mausica branch but i dont have any info on the connectivity aspect of the reciever
wrt to hdmi inputs/outputs and its processing capabilities (HD sound)

[HCCA]

Well that model number there pertains to just a 5.1 speaker package, nuh seeing anything abt a
receiver.

Still that price for the speakers alone still nice.

[Lucian-2nr]

Wait it comes with a receiver

Didnt read that part

Bess i make a call tomorrow and find out the model numbers mehself yes.

[Lucian-2nr]

^^ Aye link me on info as soon as you find out!!!

[TheBoostLord]

Well now that i got my new tv, i can focus on upgrading receivers. i saw today pricesmart has the Harman Kardon AVR-1600 for $3000..good price but i can get a pioneer vsx-920k for that. Guess i know what my next move is.

i posted this info on the previous page

the receiver is sold separately from the speaker package.

[X_Factor]

yeah, u can call to confirm, or if anyone lives/works in the area pass tru to confirm...
remember its the mausica branch

hmmmm nicee thanks for the info...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

I know a guy who bought the Harmon Kardon 5.1 speaker setup in Pricesmart for his Pioneer VSX-23TXH and he's pretty impressed with the speakers. Seems like a damn good deal.

[crazybalhead]

The Amp looks like sheit though. Features little, little powah. And feels a little cheap. For $3000TT yuh could do better.

[ru$$ell]

Well looks like i'll keep the Klipsch for HT duty as no one wants em,currently building my BUDGET stereo system. Already picked up speakers some weeks ago,next on the list is stereo amp and CD Player,eventually Audioquest cable's and finally (yeah right) a record player.Was doing research since January and finally settled on what gear i'm going with and why.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ I want it - just can't buy it right now

my 58" 8 series Samsung reference quality plasma just got a horizontal line straight across the screen near the middle.
it's a very thin line, 1 pixel high. Seems to be one dead row. It came up and then went away once or twice. Now it's there permanently. I tried everything. I contacted Luxsam, the Samsung agents in T&T and a tech said it could be a faulty board and to bring it in for service. I hope it's not the panel itself has to change, that would be the price of a new TV!



this is not my TV in the pic, but the line is just like this one

[Chiney]

ohh
sucks to be you!!

[noshownogo]

you tried pausing a dvd or bluray on a black screen and gently taping the dead pixels, my guess is that this works for a single dead pixel versus a line tho...sucks

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ yup - no go

it's not a source issue either

fack Samsung yes. my LCD of less than a year old started flickering. have to carry it in as well.

Luxsam says i have to pay a $700 non-refundable downpayment.

Circuit Zone says i have to pay $350 down.

not sure if i want to go thru this stress nah...

[ru$$ell]

wow duane,that sucks@your tv having that dead pixel line.i'll let you have first dibs on them if you ever want to take it.After doing so much research on samsung tv's its a shame their still so much bad apples in the bunch.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

fack Samsung yes.

i disagree, their TV's are top notch - lots of panels from Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic etc etc have this same problem when you search it on the net. You can't say all HDTV's are crap

[Swisha]

yeah i agree there displays are top notch but is it worth it if they dont last?

my Sony lcd going strong bout 5 years now...

[RapToR]

i never had a return with LED TV's except for Sony cause of defective boards on the new models


had problems with samsung LCD and older plasma models
