How does this compare to the 6000? Is it worth the jump in price to this model?

i can't tell you about the 6000 because i didn't test it. i like the 9000 especially for music. nice full sound without all the wires etc. easy set up and easy for the family to use. have to get used to the way it works with tv remote, but i am very happy with the unit.

one thing good about this soundbar is that it converts dts sterio, where the 6000 don't. They will supply a optical cable, but it's a thin cable, they only give you one, but if your also going to use it with a blue-ray, you will need two cables. Regular size optical cable will fit, but you won't be able to properly set up the soundbar

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

I never had a sound bar before. I was using the Energy - Take Classic 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System with 200W Subwoofer. These were fantastic for the price $399. I built a home with 18 foot ceilings so the energy speakers would not work in that room. I bought the Sharp 80" LED and put the 9000 under it. I feel the sound quality is great. The the whole package is a great addition to our house. If my room was compatible with the Energy speakers, I would have used them.

More power and a bigger subwoofer. Definitely a much better system. We like ours, very well. Hope this helps. Ted

It was disappointing. I returned it. I now have the sonos bar and other related sonos equipment. I like it.

The 6000 is good if you're on a budget, but you'll be happier watching movies with the 9000 if you connect the digital optical cable directly to a blue ray player or Directv receiver. The wireless subwoofer provides ample punch and the surround effects add enough realism to get a quasi theater feeling. In no way is the 9000 comparable to a true surround sound system, but for a small to medium size room it will do the job. If you plan to use an aftermarket optical cable installation becomes an issue because the soundbar will not sit flat on a shelf, because the optical cable plugs directly into the bottom.

Hi, You have been very informative. Which would you recommend: the p4400 or the p4460? Or is another product (under $25.00) better? I live in a delivery cost area, and am fairly careful already, so my likely savings will be less than $100 per year -- so I want to keep the cost of this item low.

I've never owned the UE 6000s, however, the HDJ 2000s are one of the best investments I have made as a DJ. I'm able to hear all the instruments in a song clearly. This makes my beat matching and mixing a easier. Check out a few of the mixes I have done using the HDJ 2000s on www.mixcrate.com/djosi

From what I have read the 65 is a better T.V. but is a couple hundred dollars more. I own the 65 and so far I am very impressed and would pay the extra money for the 65. Then again, I haven't seen the 61 but based on reviews that is what I would conclude. By the way, the price on the 65 fluctuates A LOT... I just bought it for 2164.99 August 5th. Two days later it was 2144.99 and a couple after that it was 2999.99 so I would be patient and wait until a good price comes around.

im pretty sure that the 6200 will upscale also. i have the 6200 and i really like it. i think speakers, 7.2 instead of 7.1 and one more hdmi port are the main differences. keep an eye out at hhgregg bc thats where i got my 6200 for 487 plus tax.

It's not the Panasonic, it's the Samsung. Many people go out and buy these LCD's with 120 refresh rates only to find themselves with the same thing you are talking about a nearly "too clear" or "soap opera" looking picture. Go out and read the reviews for the 120 refresh sets. Many people find themselves preferring a little extra judder from the 60 refresh than the picture being almost too realistic as you stated; others say it's worth the trade off, it all personal perference. I know for sure the Samsung LCD 600 series are 120 refresh for sure. Being you feed it such a nice clean 1080P signal with the panny and you get the result. Bottom line is that effect is not from your DVD player.

If you want a good technical review of both, check out Rtings.com. They reviewed the LN5700 last year and will have their review up of the LB6300 tomorrow. The review of the LB5800 series is already up and there are noticeable differences between that series and the LN5700 in terms of motion blur, uniformity, and bright room performance. All are important elements in terms of picture quality, and grey uniformity is particularly important if you want to minimize the "dirty screen effect" inherent to many LCD panel TVs (of course this can vary within the same model unit as well). If the review is similar for the LB6300 series as it is for the LB5800 series, I also think the LB6300 series is the easy choice unless your biggest concern is how it performs in a bright or sunlit room. Hope this helps.

I almost went with the 500 but decided the 700 was better for the slight upper cost, you can expand off the 700 much better in the future and it has more power which makes for a cleaner sound in music,etc.. I really enjoy my stereo.

I own both, the problem I have with the 600 Pro is that it does not turn off completely, the nice digital info remains on when the radio is turned off, which drains the battery if storied for any length of time. That is the only problem I have with this one. The 500 remains ready to even if storied for a time.

I upgraded from a 5003. Still a good receiver but not in the same class as the 6008. The biggest factor for me was 3D / 4K pass through. This unit is loaded with features and very easy to setup. The surround sound is amazing!

The 6000 keyboard is an older version of the 5000 keyboard. They are essentially the same product, but one reviewer said the older one was a bit more difficult to connect to a computer. I bought the 5000 model a year ago and it has worked fine for me.

I noticed that also. Right now the 650 is cheaper than the 630 model. I'm going with the 630 because of the matte finish on the screen. Great pricing for both.

Thanks Pat, In your opinion is the 650 worth the extra money over the 630? Does that extra 20,000 in contrast ratio really stand out? These two models seem to be the two choices that i have narrowed it down to.

I just sprang for the 607. Unbelievable! Without a doubt I made the right choice. The sound from this workhorse is incredible. You will not be dissapointed.

There are some quality concerns about the 425. I am very happy with the 1000. Catch it on sale and you can't go wrong. It is a little larger than the 425 so you need a little more room to store it height-wise - about 6 more inches.

Though I have never used the ATR2500, I did read the specs and it's a superior instrument compared to the 2100. The price tells the story as well. The 2500 is a condenser microphone where-as the 2100 is a dynamic type. The frequency response is wider with the 2500. I am very pleased with the performance of the ATR2100-USB using it for recording acoustic and electric guitar, percussion instruments, and vocals. For the price you can't go wrong. I am running Windows Vista home premium 32 bit with 2gb of ram on a 5 year old HP/Compaq Presario using Audacity sound editing free software and the results are fine.

The 350 is unfamiliar to me but I would trade up if I could , in most cases you will get a better unit with better options and performance . Having what you are use to using is also important but we always get familiar with new things everyday
