I'm impressed with the quality of castings and machine ground surfaces. Nice satin chrome ruler with easy to read graduations. Can't go wrong for the price if you ask me, way better than dealing with aluminum junk and stamped rulers while you save up for a high dollar set.

Bought a Sub-1200 from Parts Express a few weeks ago to use in my garage, and I am very pleased with its performance so far.  Here's my setup:

Receiver: Realistic STA-2280 (60 watts/channel, no LFE output)
L/R Speakers:  NHT O2-ARC (60 Hz- 20 kHz)
Cable: Mediabridge 14AWG
Source:  256 kbps mp3 through Airplay
Setup use:  100% Music
Environment: Garage w/ 10' ceilings and concrete floor

I know this sub is primarily intended for home theatre (HT) use, and it definitely has the output to fill that role in a medium-sized room.  But I'm using this for music only.  Correctly integrating the Sub-1200 definitely took some trial and error.  Initially the bass was pretty muddy, and I was left unimpressed.  But after some experimenting I found setting the crossover to 95 Hz and the gain to about 35% to be ideal for my NHT O2-ARCs which seem to drop off around 80 Hz.  Kudos to Dayton for providing a crossover with 10Hz increments.

Once I got the crossover and gain set, I was getting the level of punch that I wanted from the sub, but it still didn't sound very clean.  So I plugged the port with a rolled up hand towel, and placed it on top of an Auralex Gramma iso pad, and those changes really tightened up the Sub-1200's response.  Without making those modifications, I think this sub would only be suitable for HT use, but now I can confidently say that the Sub-1200 can be used for a budget stereo setup.  And at $99 - $150, this is perfect for a garage.

There are some downsides to this sub, but they are to be expected for this price.  The power cord is not detachable.  The high-level connections do not take banana plugs.  Frequency response drops off a cliff at 40 - 45Hz.  The bottom feet on mine were not completely level.  And this sub is definitely not winning any beauty contests.

Those negative things aside, for your money this is a pretty solid purchase and it will substantially improve any setup that is lacking a subwoofer.  Highly recommended!

Excellent sound at this price range. No distortion  and bass is just right, not too much.

At onset, I am not a professional drummer. I wanted a set that will be elementary and something helps me learn basics of drumming. I looked through a lot of options (Including Pyle / Yamaha) on amazon - haven't auditioned the other competitors so have no references.

Though on lower end of cost spectrum, I did not chose pyle for two key reasons - It does not look like a drum set (Call me old school but stuff that I am beating should look like a drum) and some reviews talked about the sound quality not being great. Certainly, I did not wish to fork out as much as a Yamaha/Roland! So I decided on this one - also the reason that the ratings were fairly positive.

Now I have had this only for 2 days. But based on what I have seen so far, this looks a good set. My list of Pros/Cons below:

Pros:
*** Good set of inbuilt kits. 20 pre built kits are good. (Although, there are many overlaps between them)
*** Very sturdy set of equipment. The pads look sturdy and should go long.
*** The frame is sturdy and the shape is very ergonomic. It wraps around you and is very flexible in terms of setting the equipment up. This also is better than Pyle's very flat single sided frame.
*** I haven't yet connected this to an amp, but through headset I have tried and I must say that the sounds are not artificial sounding. Of course, I don't have a direct comparison with likes of Roland/Yamaha but this one certainly sounded genuine.

Cons:
*** I cant get used to High Hat Controller kit. It was too tight early, and does not register all hits. I am thinking this is still hardware setup issue or a user issue (Other users may find it okay)
*** Not all kits have a 'Rim shot' - 2nd zone on Snare drum configured. Although, this can be fixed easily.

I would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a nice not so expensive but at the same point in time the edrum that gives authentic feelings.

I will try and post more feedback, once I use this for some extended period of time.

I picked this up at best buy for $400 on a special.  It's now back at $600.  I hooked it up to my computer as a monitor, and it is fantastic.  The resolution is decent, and for a mid-range HDTV with 720p, I doubt you will find a better deal out there.  I run a DVI to HDMI cable from my computer to the TV and it works great.  I've also played DVDs and streaming HD on the TV and both look fantastic.  I wish I had enough money to purchase a 1080p TV with higher resolution, but for a HDTV on a budget, this is a great find.

There are other non-name brands out there that are basically Chinese pieces of crap, but there's no reason to buy something substandard when you can get one of these beauties.  Stay away from something like "Dynex".

I'll bet this TV goes on sale again or gets a price drop.

For the price, you really cannot complain. It is the best quality for this price range and even within a few hundred more. I've shot a number of weddings with my canon 6d and a 45mm lens. I haven't been above weight yet and the balancing is good.

Cons: it is sometimes difficult to fine tune the balancing and the screws are sometimes not tight and it will off set the balance. other than that, this is a really solid stabilizer.

First, let me say that I had a very difficult time choosing between 4 or 5 stars for this review.  This monitor isn't perfect, but it comes very close.  And for this price point, you'll really have a hard time finding something much better.  I've settled on 4 stars, but in all honesty the rating shouldn't make you reconsider buying this monitor, it should simply serve as a "heads up" to some of the things that you may have to get used to.

What I like:
1) The screen itself.  It's sharp, clean, large and beautiful.  Exactly what I was hoping to receive.
2) Exceptionally easy to seat in its stand. And, once seated, is very stable.  It's also easier to disconnect from the stand than other monitors have been for me in the past, making those painful, thumb-pinching episodes a thing of the past.
3) Good looking monitor.  Ignoring the screen here, the monitor itself looks very nice.  Angular without being blocky, it really pulls off a modern look but not to the point where it will look very outdated.
4) Plenty of connectors in the box for use
5) Color settings were actually fairly good when first setting it up. I haven't fiddled around with them because I haven't had a need to as of yet.
6) Surprisingly lightweight for a monitor of this size. Everytime I pick it up I'm a little shocked at the low weight.
7) Great, fluid adjustability on the pitch axis.  Sturdy, yet easy to precisely adjust to the point that works best for you.

What I don't like:
1) Interface buttons.  They're not exactly intuitive, and it took me a few minutes to understand what I was doing. I can see this being a point of frustration initially, but to be honest how many of us use the buttons more than sparingly?
2) High gloss finish on the frame.  I usually don't care, but this monitor is so pretty that I do find myself getting a little sad at the finger smudges that show up. A lot of the fault lies on me for touching the glossy parts, but it is something to be aware of.
3) Some might think this a little trivial, but the box opens on its face.  This makes it much easier to take the monitor out of the box, but it is very inconvenient when trying to reuse the box to transport the monitor around.  Again, small gripe but when it comes to a product as great as this you're really grasping at straws.
4) Speakers work, but they're obviously not the selling point of this monitor.

My recommendation?  This is definitely a buy, but just be aware of some of the minor issues that you may run into.

I was really impressed with the mid-range and midbass response I got from these speakers. Probably the best option at this price point

These work and sound really nice for their price range. I am very impressed. The service from Amazon was swift and sure. I think very highly of Amazon. Back to the speaker system....They are currently in use in my apartment, and are very suitable for apartment living and listening to music at reasonable levels. In fact, i have the bass volume turned all the way down, and it provides enough 'oomph' for the rock and jazz I listen to. The mids are a little weak, but this can be expected of 2-way systems in this price range. The bright blue lights were a bit of a shock, but I am getting used to them. A drawback is that they are made in China, and all that that implies. But I will keep them, despite my feelings about sending money to that country. I like the speaker system a lot, and like their sound. They cannot do what studio class monitors do, but, hey, like it was stated....So, if you are looking for a 'good bang for the buck', and can stomach sending money to China, these are a great buy. Hookup was easy, and the sound is pleasing.

i don't think there is a better one out there for the price.  only complaint i have and its nit picky, is the sub woofer.  It tries to hard to be loud instead of thump-y.  but overall its great and a lot better than others in its price range.

Like many reviewers here, I auditioned the SRSX5 in a store. It stood out from most of the competition for its decent bass response,  well balanced mid range, and crisp  but not overly bright treble. It outperforms the other two Sony models in its range alsothe larger SRSX7 and smaller SRSX3. Setup was easy without consulting a manual. (I actually bought a refurb unit on Amazon for $80 that didn't come with one, but I see the supplier is currently sold out. You may want to check if they're available again.) Only quibble: The black touch-control surface quickly turns ugly with fingerprints, so plan to wipe it down pretty often. Otherwise, well designed and well ahead of any competition in the same price ballpark.

This is an excellent battle belt for the price.  While there are slightly nicer examples out there (HSGI, 5.11, etc) this does extremely well for the price.

I was originally leery of buying this belt, and leaning toward the other more expensive brands.  I really looked at the Condor version as a low cost way to test out the concept (and originally bought a medium which was too big for me), with plans to "upgrade" later.  However, I occasionally instruct at our LE academy, and observed several students using (really abusing) these belts.  They held up very well, to day in and day out use, on the range, in DT classes, full contact use of force scenarios (aka "Red Man" drills), etc.  If it can last for 6 months of that, it will do very well for the occasional use most of these belts will see.

I'm an investigator, not a full time SWAT or patrol guy, so the battle belt concept is great for the times we need to gear up, and gear up quickly.  It also keeps the gear low, so there isn't a give away when doing surveillance in a vehicle.  This allowed me get that setup, without breaking the bank.

Good bang for the buck and better quality than expected.

I bought this as a sort of introduction into more pricey displays for a computer that I've slowly been adding onto. Out of the box with no calibration, it's surprisingly accurate, and the anti-glare coating hasn't really shown, which was my main worry. The contrast is beautiful, and with a little bit of calibrations, this is one of the best monitors I've been able to see personally. I've seen better, but for what I paid at $200, this has more than enough to justify that. Packaging was what you would expect, and it comes with the two most basic, necessary cables (D-DVI and VGA). Setup was as simple as latching on the stand, then adjusting it how I please, which is easy to do on the go as well. I found myself altering the contrast/brightness for a while to get it exactly where I wanted, but I'm a little nitpicky. The viewing angles are a lot better than my last two monitors, and it perform well for all the games I've tried it on. I prefer the 1920x1080 16:9 over 16:10, so it was a nice jump up in resolution from what I had before. My only gripe was that the D-DVI cable that came with it is a bit flimsy, so I replaced it. I've just ordered my second one, so I'm definitely pleased.

I've got three of these now.  For the price, the performance can't be beat.

Although not *amazing* quality, I'm pleased with this for the price. Great bang for the buck. Secure, and easy to detach. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 star is the chrome attachment part looks cheap, but it has performed excellently so far after heavy use.
The shipping was very fast, well ahead of estimated arrival date. Pagkaged expertly too.
Overall I'd recommend this.
