Anyone know how this compares to the mythos 7 or procenter 1000?

I don't know how much difference you will notice between the mythos 3 and 7. I have installed both and can tell you that the difference is marginal. The procenter is ok for small rooms, but the front left and right speakers will also determine which center you should get. Do yourself a favor and don't cheap out. The center channel is the single most important speaker in your system.

I bought the Mythos 7 with the Mythos 4 towers. The seven did good but I wanted more than good so I returned and bought the Mythos 3. Night and day. But now I have to raise my tv for this to fit but the hassel is worth it to me.

Hi. Never tried the 7 but I can tell you it sounds way better than the procenter 1000. I've got it paired with a couple promonitor 1000s and they are great. Before purchasing it, I realized it is more sensitive than the mythos 7 so it's posible that the drivers are better. When the 3 was new, it was more expensive than mythos 7 today.

I just ordered the HP W2207. I went back and forth trying to decide on both, because Samsung has a really great reputation. However, the HP W2207 seemed to have better reviews. No bleeding, tilts for both landscape and portrait views, etc. I saw over and over again where people said it was by far the best display out there right now at this size and price. I saw lots of consistent negatives for the Samsung 226BW: Bleeding; the VERY annoying blue light on the power button which stays on even in sleep mode; the loud, constant buzzing noise after adjusting brightness (most all said it's default brightness is WAY too bright and needs to be dimmed- which means there'll always be the buzzing); no tilting to portrait view; and no height adjustment. Although it can be mounted on the wall, the mounting equipment must be bought separately. The only negative comments I saw repeated with the HP were the possible glare if light hits the screen (because of the glossy screen), and it is more compatible with a PC than a Mac, although it works fine with Macs, there were comments that it is truly best suited for a PC. So it seems as if the HP2207 is probably newer and is overall a better buy. So we'll see how great it is when it gets here. Hope this helps...if you've not already made your decision.

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences.50PZ700U - My preferred right now50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well.50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar. I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u.

Both sound great. In my opinion the HK sounds slightly better. The power output difference is not what it seams (90w vs 75w), I'd wager if properly tested they are equal in power or the HK actually has a little more. HK is very conservative in their watt ratings and push higher amps than most. The HK seams to match well with the warm sound I like and my Paradigm speakers (older models w/ silk tweeters). The HK will be easier to set up if you don't have much experience. The Denon has more surround processing modes that you may or may not like. Sound is very subjective and depends on your room acoustics, your speakers, and most importantly your preferences. If you are using a Blu ray player that bitstreams the new uncompressed surround formats (Dolby Digital HD, DTS Master Audio), then they will both decode them for you. If you use a PS3 remember that it can't bitstream these HD audio formats, but must decode them internally and send them via LPCM. If you need a good speaker set check out the Energy Take Five Classics sold on Amazon for less than $600 last I checked. You are going to be happy with either unit. Good luck! ps. The included iPod dock with the HK is a really nice free addition if you have an iPod. If I had chosen the Denon, I would have bought their model dock eventually.

This is a bit late, but if you have not yet decided, the Compaq CQ61-313 seems to be a better machine. Elsewhere I have seen it selling for over US$500. Looking at the specs, the Compaq has built-in webcam and Lightscribe technology for direct disc labeling. These are absent from the Emachine. Given a choice of both machines going at the same price, I would definitely go for the Compaq.

Yeah it is.. Even the 7000Series is cheaper than the 6000!!! What is up with that!?

No I haven't done any comparisons. But I will say for the money it's hard to beat a fosgate sub. I'm very happy with mine.

SU7300 is way better since it supports Intel Virtualization and has an extra 1 MB L2 Cache. Performance depends a lot on L2 Cache. I would go with SU7300 for an extra $50

Thanks for your reply. I bought the 270 a few weeks back. The interface is still the old 200-series interface, not the newer 205 interface, with faster screen refresh.

Since you plan on keeping it a long time (more than 5 years), it might be best to get the i7. However the difference between them does not appear to be significant. I too am about to buy a Pro. I was gonna get the i7 but after watching countless Youtube videos and reading reviews about it I decided paying $400 more from the 2.4 ghz i5 was not worth the miniscule bump in power. From what I gather on youtube, the 2.4ghz is capable of playing all current games on high or close to high settings (not extremely high though). I've seen videos of people playing everything from Modern Warfare 2 to Mass Effect 2 to Crysis with relative ease. I've also seen a video of someone testing how capable the i5 was at multitasking by running multiple programs at the same time. He had 3 VMware windows open + itunes + email + Dreamweaver and a few others open and it ran very smoothly. If you are planing on keeping your Pro for at least 10 years (not impossible) then you may as well get the i7. If like me you predict you might upgrade in 5 years or so, then I would get the 2.4 ghz i5. The difference between that and the i7 is rather small and not worth the extra $400. Check out this video for more info: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0-l37pgqa0 In case the link isn't working just go to Youtube and type in "2.4 GHz Core i5 or Core i7 2.66 GHz MacBook Pro". Also, according to this review, the 2.4 ghz i5 is faster than the 2.8 ghz mid 2009 macbook pro: www.macworld.com/article/150146/2010/04/15inch_macbookpro_corei5i7.html

Whoops I forgot 1 thing. The newer Epson 85HD is a nice projector, it has a 3000:1 Contrast Ration (the MM72 only has 1000:1) and the 85HD has 2500 Lumens, compared to the MM72 1200, BUT the 85HD has zero vertical or horizontal Lens Shift. Meaning that it has to be placed pretty much right in front and at the right height of the screen. This may be a non issue with some, but for me it was the deciding factor in my getting the MM72 over the newer 85HD. Also, the 85HD only has 2 built in speakers, where the MM72 has 4! Just somethings to consider when looking at these.

Quasar is my favorite, I've tried numerous devices and this is the only one that worked, but I didnt notice any difference between the pro and the cheaper quasar

d7100 is far better, but its also more money, if you are just starting out 5300 is great, lots of features like toy camera mode, painting mode , it also has wifi and gps built in, my wife is just starting out so I opted for this instead of the more advanced 7100,also d7100 was named most stolen camera in the world!

I'm don't know how the performance of the Paradigm 100ct stacksup but, The Definitive Pro 600 is top notch. The Pro 600 is a lower end set up by Definitive standards yet the performance i feel is unmatched for the price range. I have given home theater demos for fmaily and friends that are knowledgable in home audio and time after time they are impressed with the sound quality.......

Why not consider the People's Champ, the Asus 1000HE? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QTXL82?ie=UTF8&tag=epc1000he-20

I Cannot answer your question, because I have never tried the Proteus...I do however like the Procyon, it has many sessions to choose from and really helps you get into that meditative state fast...and the goggles are great..the lights, sound and everything is worth the price...so far so good...and I noticed I can remember my dreams more clearly than before..not sure that is suppose to happen but that happened for me...so thats kind of nice..hope this helped...I have only used it a few times since I bought it..so still a newbie with it really....

Maybe because they are so similar? I've had the 1000 for about four years and still love it. The 1500 looks very tempting :)
