How much does a crappy receiver affect the sound on quality speakers?
I wondering if it's worth upgrading when it sounds pretty good to me.

@jacklalane
In my personal opinion, it affects it a lot. But, in the end, a crappy speaker is a crappy speaker. If you get a set of speakers with bigger power requirements and a flatter response, I highly recommend getting a receiver with comparable specs to give them the power they need. Upgrading to my new receiver definitely gave new life to old speakers, though.- I probably should upgrade since I have two speakers sets jammed into one output channel.
jacklalane - OMG, yes. That can't be good for the amps or the speakers. Too little/much power really stresses them.monospaced

- mmm, that would sound delicious.SunSunSun
- it does! I don't even need a subwoofer to get tooth-rattling bassmonospaced
- not that insane bass is good, my system is really all about sound accuracy and clear vocals/musicmonospaced

I'm shopping for a blu-ray disc player, because I want to see a truly uncompressed HD image on my television, but I just don't know what to get. I'm looking for something with the best sound and picture quality and fastest operational (boot, time to load disc, etc.) times. A good interface is always nice, but I don't need any 3D capabilities. Any suggestions?

does "truly uncompressed" even exist on blu ray? a feature-length movie would be over a terabyte in size uncompressed.

@acescence That's a damn good question. Besides blu-ray, the only other HD content I can view is through FiOS. Now, they provide a great signal, and Dolby Digital sound, but I can still see banding and jpeg compression when I pause and get up close (it's subtle, but it's there), but I can't help but feel that a blu-ray would be significantly better. Am I right in my assumptions?

This is the rig I currently have. Using with an xb360 w/ hdmi A/V.
No blu-ray but i'm not necessarily that concerned with running to get a blu-ray player to watch mostly shitty movies in 'HD'.

- thats like buying a pair of Dre Beats for the livingroomMiguex
- no offense..Miguex
- haha none taken. I'm not a huge audiophile so they might do ok. I just like the lack of wire clutter.bogue
- but it has nothing to do with being an audiophile, they market themselves as high end audio, but its only on the priceMiguex
- yeah, not that great of a sound with these unless in a tiny spacemonospaced
- cool.. thx for the advice fellas.bogue
