In case you didn't know
 

Bose sucks.


Here is yet anothetr example. There is a web site called hometheaterspot that has a lot of discussion about different brands. Here is what they put under Bose. Of course they don't have to say this about any other brands.

Information about Bose products, performance and trouble shooting. NO BOSE BASHING ALLOWED. This is their SPot.

Re: In case you didn't know
 

that is one of many, I love home audio, I was actually given a pair of BOSE 901s (thier top of the line home speakers-$1500 msrp) and I THROUGH them away, I tried to add a tweeter for some highs and a sub for the lows, in the end I threw them in the trash (that was before I discovered ebay, I guess I lost out and could have sold them), but they were JUNK!!!

go to Hometheaterforum.com, audioasylum.com, HTguide.com, and just pop in and ask opinions of Bose, you will start a FIRE STORM.

Here is what I have for HT

Kenwood DD/DTS receiver
Sony XBR40 HD TV
Hughes E-86 HD Directv reciever
NHT speakers all the way around
Yamaha Sub
cheap dvd player

rodh, that reminds me of a saying that installers in the car audio industry have about bose, "no highs, no lows, gotta be bose" lol

very very true

HT I run

Rotel RSP-1066 pre-pro
Marsh 2X200 amp (mains) 400s-bi-wired
Rotel 976 3X150 amp Biamped for center channel
NAD 214 2X80 amp for rears
Sony scd-333es SACD player
Technics A10 DVD-A player
Rotel power conditioner
B&W N804 speakers mains
B&W HTM2 center channel
B&W 601 rears
SVS sub

the system is a JOKE compared to some on audioasylum, but it does pretty well for me;)

Looks pretty impresive to me.

Do you thinks it's a good time to buy an SACD or DVD-A player? Is there one out yet that plays both? I'd really like a combo DVD, SACD, and DVD-A.

I wouldn't call that system a joke. It looks awesome to me. I love my SVS sub. I really wish I had gone with B&W's when I first got into this.

Here's my set up:
AV Receiver - Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX
DVD - Pioneer Elite DV-09
CD - (2) Pioneer Elite PD-F19
Cassette - Harman/Kardon TD4400
Turntable - Technics SL-J33
TV - Mitsubishi VS-50805
SAT/DVR - Sony SAT-T60
VCR - JVC HR-S4600U
Line Doubler - Silicon Image iScan Pro
Power Conditioner - Monster Power HTS2500
Main Speakers - PSB Stratus Silver I
Center - PSB Stratus C6
Surround Side - PSB Alpha Mini
Surround Back - PSB Alpha Mite
Subwoofer - SVS 20-39PC
Remote Control - Marantz RC5200

Cool to see other HT geeks out there...

Here's a pic of my system:

Sub: Haven't yet felt the need for a sub, what with the performande of the 2.9s.

Wow, two Outlaw Audio references! I bought my 1050 ~2 years ago and love it. That said, I'm still thinking about taking the 950 /7100 combo for $1698 plunge...
