You guys need to look at the model number of the plasma.  Thats an older model elite plasma meaning the job was probably done some time ago.  You all know how much plasma has dropped in the last few years.  I have a 50” samsung thats 3 years old that used to retail for $8500.  If the $3000 included programming…

Nonsense article… If you have a PC and an XBOX 360 you can do this anyway… If you have a Mac and an XBOX 360 you can get Nullriver’s Connect 360 and do the same thing. So, yes, you can get video material and stuff from your computer to the TV. Apple TV is bought by those people who want…

I installed a real home theater before, a dedicated media room.  This guy got ripped off, for $25k he could have had a construction crew build him a new addition to his house ($5-7k), running all the wires during construction (post construction wiring costs alot more - like 3x the price), and sound proofing everything.  Along with that, he could…

If I pulled this kind of stunt I think my wife would kill me. Best Buy is a rip to begin with, it’s like the Wal-mart of electronic stores.He could have contacted Crutchfields and gotten more for his money

I have to question the 3K labor charge. To hook up the equipment, mount the plasma, feed some wire through drywall and program the remote costs 3K? How much does that come out to per hour? And I’ve never seen a “home theatre” so close to a kitchen before. Couldn’t find a better spot?

If this is an ad for Magnolia it’s not a very good one.  Anyone considering installing a “Home Theater” who saw what was spent here to have that dinky screen on the wall, would probably resign themselves to sticking with their 24” CRT for a long time.  That is the most unimpressive $20K theater I’ve ever seen. Granted, the equipment…

LaRaza, do you work for Magnolia?  It is so clear to anyone in the HT hobby that the guy got the shaft from Magnolia.  Another reason why if you plan on building an HT, at the least, do a little homework.

For the comment about the Athenas sounding simmilar to the Martin Logans....I comment and ask, have you heard the two in a comparison?  If so, are you partially def in assuming the quality of the logans?  Please, if you have opinions, at least have empirical evidence backing them up. And to calibrate with an Avia disc?  Are you serious?  That…

I have to agree with all the above posters. This guy got ripped off by Magnolia big and I mean big time. I bet he probably bought quite a few Monster cables as well to get the price that high. However to each his own. If they are happy with spending that much, and they enjoy their new HDTV setup..…

this is just an ad for magnolia.
