Difference between Pro Cinema 600, 800 and 1000 Is there really that big of a difference in sound that makes it worth the price difference?

Extra watts per channel which adds wide range...600 series speakers are really small and as you go to 800 and 1000 they are larger by couple of inches...you can check website for exact details. They are great speakers. Make sure you compare and listen to them before you make final decision.

I got the b650 for 999 (in store only) at fry's, so it was much cheaper then the the b630 (don't go on sale as much). Actually I got it at 1199 and they dropped the price, so I got the discount a week later. I like the shiny screen, so yes, the color on the 650 is better if you have no reflection. If you have lots of windows then maybe the 630, but I don't think it is a big deal. The 630 looks amost like the cheaper sony v5100, so you might as well just get that. I spent a lot of time at the store looking at these. Your eyes will be your judgement and my eyes liked the 650 more. Spec different: 650 is 100,000 vs 630 80,000 dynamic contrast ratio.

Not sure it you have purchased the product already. Wanted to replay as the 500s are on 'Today's deal' and the difference is 30 now. hope you get email for this reply. I compared both the system when I bought them year ago and chose 500. The difference was not 200 for me in a local electronics store. If you listen to lot of music, I guess the difference is justified.

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.......

Let me list you some: 1) The price; 6200 is more expensive. 2) 5300 is newer; 3) Sound quality is subjective, but 6200 should be better by its wood sound box. 5300 has plastic sound box.

I have had the YSP2200 for over a year and half now. No complaints. Awesome sound. I have never heard the 1100 or the 3000 so I can't compare. But speaking only for the 2200. It is well worth the money. The sound blows away any brand that are priced within $300.00 to $600.00. I always find that the 2200 has a cleaner sound then any other... great base sound (not muddy) and very clear. I would recommend the 2200.

I would say 80 is really pushing it. With a crowd that big, it'll be difficult to overcome the crowd noise. And the area needed for a party that size will probably be a bit beyond the range of what this system can deliver. The system is geared more towards home theater, so for your specific needs I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

This model seems to have better sound response and seems to be more eficient. I have it as the front speakers in my living and the rc80i as the surround and it's a good combination. In my opinion. Hope this helps!!

Though you have likely made your decision, I upgraded from a 3602 (a model that's superior to the 3080 on paper) and could tell the difference with the 3908. It was night and day. I would even wager that this system is superior to a more expensive setup, like a Bose Companion 3 (from what I've heard in person) for instance. Though some would tell you Bose is overpriced/average quality, it's one of the few premium sets I have listened to.

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.

CMR 1200 on the 8000 only 950 on the 7500 so better "clear motion" and $300! May or may not be worth it!

Well, taking a quick look to the PreSonus FireStudio Project, the only difference (just talking about IO) is that the Saffire PRO40 offers you an expandable option with the Optical input and output. Depending on your needs you could take the right choice. I can't talk about quality, because I've only tested the Saffire. But I can tell PreSonus has nothing to envy to Focusrite. Personally, I like this expandable option. You can take an OctoPre and then you have 8 additional inputs. Or if I buy, let's say, an UA Apollo, I can take mi Saffire as additional inputs to that system. I hope this informantion helps you to make a choice.

Not to hijack your thread but I'm kind of in the same situation. I want to get a TV for Bluray but am not sure to wait or buy now.Also, is the extra 150$ worth it from the 61 to 65 model? The only difference I can see is the 5,000 point difference in Contrast Ratio, is that worth the extra money?Thanks.

the b640 has most of the specs of the b630, but with the glossy finish of the b650. I am a fan of the 120hz and you notices the different with your blu-ray player or PS3 and the dead HD-DVD. It makes things pop-out a little and look a little unatural, but is like 3D on some movies. When you turn it way too high you get the halo effect and some blocking on fast scenes. Most people will buy a blu-ray player sooner or later so I say just go with the 120hz for the future. If you turn it off it is just like watching the b550. Most antenna broadcast will not pop out as much, since the source is not as good.

As stated, the difference has to do with the sound features between the 540 and 550, but that would not matter if you decide to use a sound system with the television. I would go with the 540 and put the extra money you save toward a nice home theatre system...Happy holidays,

Yes JSL, DD+, DTHD and DTS-master are much better sounding than the standard DD and DTS. Once you hear it, you won't regret spending the extra $100. It makes quite a difference with movies, but it makes a HUGE difference with concert Blu-rays. Some recommendations are Heart Alive in Seattle, U2 Rattle and Hum, Toto Live in Amsterdam and David Gilmour Remember that Night, among others. Make sure you get a nice set of RCA cables with gold plating so you don't miss any fidelity.

800 is fine....add a second subwoofer if you have the room in your theatre.....
