Getting a part time job at Best Buy was probably one of the dumber things I have done. All I seem to do is spend money on HT products. I have recently purchased a Sharp 52" 810 Quattron Aquos, Monster HTS 1650, and a Pioneer Elite VSX-32.
I freaking love the TV, after staring at them all day long at work I have no doubt that the sharp has the most accurate display of color out of the box, for a mid level tv. After having it professional calibrated Its just plain amazing.
I am on the fence about the monster power conditioner, I Understand what it does and I know it works, but I cant say if I have really noticed a visual or audible difference. At the very least I feel confident that my equipment is protected.
The receiver is a WOW for sure . So far I am very pleased. Its amazing how much i was missing with my other AVR. The funny thing is I thought the same thing when i upgraded to my Yamaha for my old HITB sony AVR.
I still use the first few minutes of Dark Knight for testing new settings and equipment, but now Inception is my new favorite for this.
The movie is great but the score on the extra blu ray disc is incredible. The pioneer really makes my Rtia5's sing. Track 3 is my favorite. When I turn the volume up I really feel immersed in the score. You can really feel the power of the brass, it sends shivers up my spine every time.
I loved my yamaha but I wanted something that decoded the newer HD sound tracks and had preouts for future upgrades.
I am very pleased with my HT so far. The only thing i have left to do is dump my cheap $50 polk book shelfs that I use as surrounds and get some timber matched surrounds. And see if i cant get my dad to sell me his old carver amp.
This site has been an invaluable resource, pretty much everything i have learned has been from here, and for that I say Thank You.
