    You need to find a center to match your left and right. I dint see any center speakers from Athena at the web site you ordered from but there should be some one that sales them.

    Any Dish Nework Turbo HD subscribers?

    Yea I called Dish up and talked to the tech support, we spent a lot of time tiring to figure out why none of the HD channels other than some paid per view should up as Dolby. He did a lot of research and found that there was another company that put the info on the channel and that they were in...

    120Hz?

    Dose your TV support 120hz ? Very few did when I bought my Samy plasma and it was one of the reasons I bought it over a Pany. I havent looked at the Plasma or LCD Tv's for a couple years so I don't no if they all support 120hz now or not.

    5.1 System Upgrade - Need Help

    If you want to feel the base you will probably need need to spend more than $400 for a new 5.1 system. $400 may be about enough to get you a sub that will let you feel the base when watching movies like the Transformers. Depending on how big you room is and the lay out of it will...

    After milling around Best Buy today a bit, I'm starting to consider a Plasma

    If you already have a HD TV look at buying a 720p or 1080p projector. Use the Tv for standard tv viewing to save bulb life and the Projector for everything else. I will be buying one next year just spent all and borrowed a little on a new HT Audio set up. have a Samsung 1080p Plasma for now...

    The best choice for a 50" 1080p Plasma?

    If you have kids that will be using a xbox a lot. Or if you use the xbox for hours and hours at a time then even though the plasma tv's usually have a little better picture then go with a LCD or even a rear protection LCD they will never have a permanent burn in image. You can get a Rear...

    The best choice for a 50" 1080p Plasma?

    Might also consider a projector that is 720p think they are a not to much now, use it for movies and your Xbox. then when you watch regular TV just use the one you have, I have read a lot about how much others love there Projector over a plasma makes it much more like you are at a movie.

    The best choice for a 50" 1080p Plasma?

    Samsung makes a pretty good Plasma also I got a 50" 5084 a little more than 2 years ago and like it a lot still it had 120hz when the others didn't. That and I liked the way it look better than Panasonic back then but is was hard to tell when looking at them in the display.

    does anyone here actually have a standalone Bluray player?

    Actually it will broadcast those formats you just need to set your PS3 to PCM or linear not Bitstream. The PS3 decodes the formats before the receiver so you wont see the nice light's telling you that you are in Dolby THD or DTS, but if you press one of the buttons on the PS3 control I think it...

    Diablo 3

    Read a article were they may make it for a console also. I sure hope so one thing they said that may hold it back from being done was making it working with the controler. This kinda grips me because with the PS 3 you can get a blue tooth keyboard and mouse to work just like one will for the...

    When will Quad cores be the main CPU's

    Quad cores have been out for a long time, Intel and AMD both seem to be putting most of there time into core that have more than 2 cpu's. Yet not may programs really take advantage of more than 2 core's. That being said why so much time spent developing them if there is not much call for them.
