how much is my "DURABRAND DVD home theater system", model # STS96 worth ?

Question by bunny: how much is my “DURABRAND DVD home theater system”, model # STS96 worth ?
i have the Durabrand dvd home theater system, cant find it anywhere online, and id like to know how much it costs, and how does it sound compared to other systems.

Best answer:

Answer by fezbob
To be honest, they aren’t worth a thing. Durabrand is super cheap and the only thing id use a Durabrand surround for is on a computer, or in a kids room. But if you really want one, they go for around 60 bucks. For the price, you will not find another surround sound really. And the actual “surround sound” on them is rubbish, as sound is always coming from all the speakers, even in 5.1 movies. Id just spend the extra 60 bucks and get an RCA from walmart. Its a MUCH better deal.. Also, the RCA comes with a seperate receiver and it has 200watts vs the 100watt Durabrand. So the RCA is the better choice.

Q&A: I am looking for a reasonable home theater system for my 13×22 room. How much do I have to spend?

Posted in General with tags , , , , , , , , on August 3, 2010 by unlimitedtechsupport

Question by nbct99: I am looking for a reasonable home theater system for my 13×22 room. How much do I have to spend?
I have a DVD player. Maybe a new receiver, a powered subwoofer and 5 speakers? What about watts? How will I know if I’m looking at a system that will not sound “full” enough to suit my large room? What are the minimum requirements for a decent sounding system for my 62″ TV? Can I do this for 0? I do not want a small sound. What will it take to make me happy but not spend myself into oblivion? I’m afraid I know little about what to look for.

Best answer:

Answer by XenonAudio
Hsu Research has perhaps one of the best values for a home
theater speaker system for small to large rooms. Prices for a entry-level high performance system start at about 0 for 5-6
speakers and a powered subwoofer.

You want to find a good receiver like from Onkyo or Yamaha or
Pioneer for the price range you’re considering. Power should be
at least 60 watts per channel driven from at least 20Hz-20,000Hz.

Your speakers should have at least a sensitivity of 88dB @
1w/1m, and should be able to handle 100 watts RMS or more.
The higher the sensitivity, the lower the watts can be to achieve
the same loudness level.

Your powered subwoofer should be able to play bass down to at
least 30Hz flat (i.e. -3dB or less) and preferably 20Hz-25Hz or
better is ideal. Along with the low bass capabilities, the powered
sub needs to be able to play these frequencies at high levels. A
good sub will play a 30Hz tone at no less than 100dB with no
more than 10% distortion (i.e. maximum level before clipping).

The system I would specifically recommend for your room and
criteria would be the following…

Receiver – Onkyo TX-SR604

Speakers – Hsu Research HB-1 (x5) or VT-12

Powered Subwoofer – Hsu Research STF-2

As a couple of alternatives, SVS has a bunch of nice speaker
with powered subwoofer set-ups. Also, another great value,
go to Parts Express and look up Proficient and Dayton Audio.
They also carry a fine Pioneer surround sound receiver as well.
And one honerable mention goes out to the BIC Acoustech 5-
piece high-sensitivity home theater loudspeaker system with
a 12″ powered subwoofer. If you’re considering Klipsch for a
home theater system, Acoustech is a better choice for less $.

Does a built in home theater system add much resale value to condo or home?

Posted in General with tags , , , , , , , on August 3, 2010 by unlimitedtechsupport

Question by William S: Does a built in home theater system add much resale value to condo or home?
I want to install a 7.1 channel speaker system in my condo. This would include 7 speakers mounted in the ceiling and a flat screen tv mounted on the wall. I want to know if this will increase the resale value of my condo very much in the midwest. Will the resale value increase the same or more than the amount I put into the system?

Will the sound change to much if I put my home theater speakers horizontally?

Posted in General with tags , , , , , , on August 3, 2010 by unlimitedtechsupport

Question by JC: Will the sound change to much if I put my home theater speakers horizontally?
I bought a home theater system and works great. The problem is that the speakers are a little bit tall and get on the way and they kinda cut into the image. Now, If I put them on their sides (horizontally), would that affect the sound experience? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Bill K
I should not make a difference. I have had my speakers both ways, and could not tell the difference

How much of a difference between 300W and 1000W home theater systems?

Posted in General with tags , , , , , , , on August 2, 2010 by unlimitedtechsupport

Question by musicguy: How much of a difference between 300W and 1000W home theater systems?
There are two “home theaters in a box” I am considering. One has 300W of power and has a DVD and VHS player built in (Insignia NS-H3005). The other has 1000W of power and can only play DVDs (Philips HTS3450). I would like to play both, but I don’t want a huge sacrifice in quality or volume.

:: Both are for sale at bestbuy.com ::

Answer by ddnc_dave
Well, there is a big difference there but you have to consider the environment you will be using it in. Is it a big room or a small room? How loud do you really need it? If this is your first unit I’d go with the one with more options. Always check around for better prices though!

Nowadays, How much do 5 piece Sony home theater systems cost?

Question by Husain: Nowadays, How much do 5 piece Sony home theater systems cost?
My cousin is selling a 5 piece Sony Home theathre system for 0. It is about 4 years old. It is in good condition, but should I buy it?

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by The Eagle Keeper
If it’s one of those all in one home theaters in a box, then no. It was outdated the day they designed it. A good theater consists on the newest surround formats, Dolby HD & DTS – Master Audio that only a good receiver can decode and sound. A matching 5.1 speaker system with a powered sub is the only way to go & Blu-ray video playback too. No need to buy 4-5 year old technology when it can’t be supported in today’s hi-def media. However, if you want something that will make a lot of noise, then by all means get it. But expect disappointment.
