Trying to decide between this and the 8077, which would be better?

It depends on a couple of things. First, how strong is your interest in sewing? This may sound stupid, but if you are not sure you are going to enjoy the art of sewing I would buy the least expensive thing possible that will still yield good results. That is what I did. The Sewist 500 fit the bill perfectly for me to learn how to sew. It is basic and mechanical, so it is virtually indestructible for novice sewers. However, after about a year, I realized the machine was not going to meet my needs for the long term. At that point, I began investigating alternatives and purchased a mid-arm Juki that is specifically for quilting. I love it. It does exactly what I need it to do and does it beautifully. So, the second part for you to consider is what is your sewing interest and how accomplished are you? If you are a novice and are uncertain, then stick with the Sewist. It is very much a generalist machine. Does it have 30 different stitches? No. Do you need 30 different stitches? Not unless you plan to do embroidery. If that is your plan, you may find you outgrow the 8077 pretty quickly, too. If you already have an interest established, look for the machine that best sets you up to follow that passion. I also highly recommend going to fabric stores etc to test machines. Don't just read about them online and then buy. Seriously, each one has a different personality. Find the one that fits you.

However I would recommend getting an mk808 instead. I have both and the performance is WAY better on the 808, definitely worth the extra $10 even if you're only using it for powerpoint. Mk808: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009OX22B4/ref=pd_aw_sims_e_15

The only major differences between the 507 and 607 is that the 507 is 5.1 while the 607 supports 7.1. Also, the 607 has a Faroudja chip for video upscaling...but most professional reviews recommend using the passthrough feature and letting the tv do the work. The Faroudja chip was revolutionary when it came out about 10 years ago...but time has passed it by and most tv's these days do a better job of processing. If you don't need 7.1 then I would say the 507 is a better value..

It's the extra wattage, THX certification and sound modes (Cinema, Music, Game), Audyssey MultiEQ (6 positions vs 3 [on the 606]), 1080p HDMI and analog upconversion. I own both the 606 and 806. If you're looking for a more capable receiver that does indeed sound better than the other, get the 806. If you're okay with settling on something that fits your needs and don't need more, get the 606.

Even though I haven't listened to both, I thought I'd reply anyway. I combed thru the net for reviews on both. There are many for the 10.1 and only a couple for the 10.2. None compared the two. Obviously, 10.2 will produce more bass, but I was afraid that larger woofer wouldn't handle the upper midrange as well. No review discussed that, so it's my own supposition. I bought the 10.1, and the bass is very solid and goes lower than I anticipated. Very happy with it. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

I have made the decision to purchase the ln40a750, the only difference is the 750 has a subwoofer bass speaker in it. Worth it to me because I had no plans in hooking it up to stereo system.

I personally find the RAT a lot less noisy in my chain and I like the nuances I get from the filter knob and hence the different kinds of distortion I get from it. But then again I guess it's a matter of personal preference and taste. I personally would pick the RAT over the Big Muff anytime but I'm sure there are others out there who think otherwise. Also, if you play on-stage live I really appreciate the clear light on this RAT especially when it's dark on stage. It's a lot easier to change the battery too if you are not connected to a power source. I realise these are not sonic features but as I stated above I am hesitant to say one sounds better than another because it really depends on your taste. I'd recommend you try out a few candidates at the store first to figure out the sound you wanna get and go from there.

The Shures are good but can be a bit overpriced at times. The GTD G-787H has been good so far and once the eq is set properly, it is very clear and dynamic.

Absolutely. The 8060STs are GIANT ...Really too big for the room. You will be psyched with the 8040STs and save a lit of money in the process!

Definitely the Sundown SA-12. This is coming from someone that owns two at the moment. You will be receiving a quality sub that will be able to handle the power that you choose to throw at it.

Well, not being a technical person in the least, I'd assume that the PX780 can play at a louder volume. I will say with full confidence that the 750 has more than enough volume to be used in a home setting.

Sure, but you may not be satisfied with the bass. Has GREAT highs and mids but lacks a good low end. Has 1/4 inch & XLR inputs, as well, a mp3 input. I sent the 10 back and tried the 12 inch and still wasn't satisfied with the low end. Ended up going and listening to all kinds and walked away with a Harbinger 15 for close to the same price. Best sound for the price. If you only plan on using it for 1 thing you may be happy but I wanted it for guitar/vocals and to be able to plug in my iPhone for music. Harbinger won!

I had both and I think TS-808 has more "organic" sound. I think TS9 is more "hard", crispy. I changed my TS9 by a Way Huge Green Rihno...

For a room that size the 8040s would be much more suitable. My 8060s at times can be a little much in my 15 x 26 foot room. They sound amazing at every volume range and for a serious listener I highly recommend them.

Companion 20 are Desktop speakers while Music Monitor are more laptop/portable speakers. As for quality Companion 20 absolutely beats Music Monitor in all, volume, bass, frequency response so get those unless you have space limitation.

ended up getting the 608 instead, and VERY happy with it. the sound is simply incredible when paired with Mirage speakers.

I myself would buy the 700 model or if I were to think about purchasing the 880 model I would go on up the line and purchase the Harmony One which I also own for a Home Theater system in my home.
