Sony Home Theater Model# DAVDZ170, April 19, 2011

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA DAV-DZ170 Home Theater System (Electronics)

I was torn between this unit and a similar Samsung unit, and I decided to go with this Sony because I have alway6s been pleased with Sony products. Well, Sony definitely let me down on this one. First off this unit was easy to set up. It took longer to run the wires across the room than it did to actually hook it up. But the volume on this was sub-par. Even on the max level volume (35) it still wasn't that loud. The main problem was the amount of bass that it produces. The bass is so overpowering that you can barely even hear people talking in the movie, and there is no way to adjust the levels at all.

Really Nice Setup With Really Nice Price, December 1, 2010

C. Perry (USA) -

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA DAV-DZ170 Home Theater System (Electronics)

Sony's Bravia line has yet to disappoint me. This home theater in a box is a really nice setup. It doesn't have the flexibility of a high-end receiver like a Denon or Onkyo, but that's not really what a home theater in a box setup is supposed to do. It has one HDMI output, but no HDMI inputs, and only one optical input. If you've got a newer model tv, that's all you need most of the time. If you can run all of your HDMI sources into your tv, you can just run the one optical cable to this receiver and you're ready to go. It's plenty powerful for most living rooms and gets loud without losing much resolution. The subwoofer the weakest aspect of this set, but it's not that bad. You can turn it up in the settings if you want a little more bottom end. I take it back, the weakest aspect of this set is the proprietary input system for the speaker wires. Sony isn't the only company to do this, so it's hard to single them out here, but it's still annoying. I prefer to use lower gauge speaker wires, but the proprietary speaker plugs make that almost impossible.
Overall, I prefer this setup to most component systems because A) it doesn't take up much space B) it reproduces sounds evenly and accurately C) the DVD upconversion is pretty good and D) the price is very nice. I down-sized from a 7.1 component setup and don't regret it for a second.

Nice system, good price, fairly easy set up, August 17, 2010

Musicbookfan -

This review is from: Sony BRAVIA DAV-DZ170 Home Theater System (Electronics)

Purchased this system for our family room which is a little on the smaller side. The sound is rich and full, the subwoofer is better than expected, and overall we're very pleased. Good TV sound and excellent DVD and iPod sound. Moderately priced as well, which is a bonus. *NOTE: Fiber Optic audio and HDMI video cables are NOT included and must be purchased separately.* The system does include a cable for basic video connection. The Fiber Optic audio cable (recommended for best quality audio) is about $20-25 retail. [If purchasing the fiber optic cable, make sure to remove the small clear covers at each end of the cable before trying to connect it to the receiver and cable box or TV. Otherwise...yikes, you've plugged the jacks]. The remote is small, very handy and easy to use. Front connection for an iPod, which works great. There's an antennae for FM radio which we haven't connected yet so I can't comment on that.

Set up is easy but time consuming, so as with most electronic set ups buyers should allow enough time to run the wires, position the rear speakers, attach everything and run the tests. There's fairly generous amount of speaker wire [wish they could have included about 5' more for the back speakers]; depending on how the room is arranged buyers might need to figure out creative ways to run the speaker wires for the back speakers. If it's impossible to properly place two speakers in the back of the room there is a setting which adjusts the sound for a set up where all speakers are located in the front.

The system comes with a 1-2-3 Step easy set up guide and also the more detailed instruction booklet. Speaker cords, input jacks, and speakers are color coded and clearly labeled. There's a disc included to run as part of setting up the speakers and testing the system. For the most part the instructions are self explanatory and easy to follow. However, some of the steps are slightly more confusing than necessary because the drawings of various components [e.g. TV, Cable Box, Sony Receiver] aren't labeled. The person setting the system up can clearly see what needs to be connected, but it's not always clear to what component [cable box or TV].

We now use this system exclusively and keep the speakers on our TV turned down. We will probably purchase this system for use with our basement TV as well.

Another Great Timbuk2 Bag!, December 18, 2010

SeriouslyHappy -

This review is from: Timbuk2 Quickie Laptop Sleeve (Apparel)

I first found Timbuk2 while searching online about 6 years ago. Back then I purchased a messenger style bag. It is the best bag I've purchased. That bag went everywhere and has held up great. My parents gave me an early Christmas present of a new laptop this year and I was so excited because I knew that I would get to purchased another Timbuk2 bag. I came across the Quickie bag because I don't need another big one. I just needed one that I could tote around the house and also slip into my backpack if I did want to take it to class. The Quickie is perfect! The Medium holds my 15" snuggly and has room for my powerbrick and my mouse. I love how sleek it is and I was surprised to see how sturdy it is since it's such a thin bag. I have no doubts this bag will be just as impressive as my old messenger bag has been. I will not buy any other brand of bags for my computers!! Also, the price is great on here because it retails for 50 bucks plus shipping. I was willing to pay the retail but at the last minute decided to check ol' trusty Amazon and once again they delivered.

This review is from: Timbuk2 Quickie Laptop Sleeve (Sports)

I have the small size for my 13" MacBook and it fits perfectly. It is large enough to hold the charger and a few cords in one pocket in the front and my kindle in the other as well. It is water-resistant so I don't worry as much about walking in the rain anymore. Also, I can attest to how well it protects the computer: I fell on the ice this winter and my bag hit the ground pretty hard. Thankfully, my computer was just fine!
If you just need a computer bag and don't really need anything else to go in it, I'd say this is the perfect bag for you. Plus Timbuk2 bags hold up so well. I've had quite a few and have never had any trouble with damage.

For the 11" Macbook Air, December 20, 2010

Laurel (Illinois, USA) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Timbuk2 Quickie Laptop Sleeve (Apparel)

I love Timbuk2 bags, and I was thrilled to discover that the extra-small (XS) size Quickie would be a perfect fit for my new 11" Air.

The "bubble" orange foam interior feels sturdy enough to keep the laptop safe. There are flaps on the inside of the zipper to prevent scratches. The two exterior pockets under the flap seem generous and sturdy, though I don't use them much myself. Note that there is a typically noisy velcro closure over the exterior pockets. The main pocket has a nice, stealthy zipper, though.

The extra-small size has only the two hand-carrying handles, no shoulder strap. Little pockets allow you to tuck away the handles when they're not in use. I carry my Quickie sleeve inside a Timbuk2 Cargo Tote, where it's nice and sleek and convenient.

I realize it's a little pricey, but it's a really, really nice bag. Great quality, perfect fit.

Comment on Samsung Electronics HT-D6730W Home Theater System by Anonymous

Convenient, good bang for the buck, August 13, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Samsung Electronics HT-D6730W Home Theater System (Electronics)

Bought this mostly for three reasons:
1. So I wouldn't have any compatibility problems with my Samsung TV
2. Rear wireless speakers (although not true wireless, sure beats having wires or having to running wires across the living room)
3. Tallboy front speakers. (I have my TV mounted on the wall, so having these tall speakers helps the room look proportional. And I don't have to buy speaker stands for them)

Obviously if you are looking for a system with the best sound quality there are better products out there in this price range, but I was looking for a specific set of features.
During my research to find a stereo system that had the perfect blend of qualities, features, and price I came to the conclusion that this was the perfect one for what I was looking for.
I've had this product now for about a month, and have no complaints. The 3D blu-ray works well with my TV, I like the Ipod/Iphone cradle that it comes with to play my tunes, the sounds are rich and full, and am impressed with all the little online features the system offers.
The only thing I didn't like about this was the depth of the blu-ray player/receiver. I had to cut out the back of my display case/shelf, that I use to place all my electronics on, more than usual for this device. I thought drilling a hold in the back for all the wires would suffice, but had to cut a lot more to provide enough space for the device.
All in all, I would recommend this product for those looking for the above features.

Very good for the price, June 26, 2011

John Buchanan (Hillsboro, Ohio United States) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Samsung Electronics HT-D6730W Home Theater System (Electronics)

First, Amazon is one of the best out there for price, selection and shipping!

The HT-D6730w is very good for the price and seems to have corrected the problems that you may have read about by the end users of the HT-C6930W.

The sound is as good as my 8 year old Onkyo system which cost $1500. Although my Onkyo is better built with polished aluminum speakers/AV and a AC power sub (the Samsung is high gloss piano finished plastic) the processing for surround seems to work better with this Samsung system. (Modern technology) at it best ;-)

The system is very well packed in its box and took me as much time to unpack it as it did to set up, about an hour from start to finish and looks/sounds great with my 65 DLP TV.

I was a little confused looking at the picture and only counting 5 speakers plus sub; how could it be 7.1 The two front tower speakers is 2 separate speakers in 1. Therefore by counting them twice you come up with 7 plus the sub. The 2 rear wireless speakers have wires that go to the wireless AC power module and then it communicates with the AV receiver wireless across the room. The sub does not require a separate AC plug-in, which was surprising to me, however works very well.

The blue-ray player does not have a pop out tray, but direct feed like a CD player in a car. The up scaling works great and standard DVD's looks as good as HD. The 2D to 3D is not bad either. I put in Polar Express (standard DVD) movie and clicked on 2D to 3D along with the 3D sounds and my kids just loved it ;-). One button push on the remote to get to Netflix is another plus.

Again, for the price this is a very good system!

This review is from: Creative Wedding Album Design with Adobe Photoshop: Step-by-Step Techniques for Professional Digital Photographers (Paperback)

Mark's insight as both a creative photographer and Photoshop trainer are very evident in this book. It's a "must have" for any professional wedding or portrait photographer or anyone that wants to "push the envelope" of creative album design. Why settle for ordinary when extraordinary is easily within reach?

Having seen Mark's work first hand gave me a much deeper appreciation for the thought that went into this book. Mark will teach you how to show off the best of your photographs with embellishments that will "WOW" your customers, friends and family. His techniques are direct and timeless. He also shows what pitfalls and common mistakes to avoid when designing an album. Something that will save the price of the book many times over!

Well done Mr. Chen!

This review is from: Yamaha NS-SP1800BL 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker Package (Electronics)

It took me weeks of research before I purchased this product. I liked the idea of the Yamaha name, but was concerned the quality would be less than optimal because the price was so low. While I am not an audiophile I like to have the best my limited money can buy. The 6 Ohm rating was a big hiccup for me as well, as 8 ohm is what all receiver ratings are calculated on. But after looking closely at the manual for my receiver I found it supported 6-16 Ohm speakers. So we were good there. My receiver, a Pioneer VSK-519 showed up before my speakers so I hooked it up to some Sony book shelf speakers to "test it out". When the Yamaha speakers came I was only able to hook up three of the five speakers with the included speaker wire, so I used the Sony's as R and L. The Sony's put out noticeably more sound than the Yamaha's which was at first concerning to me. And once I got them out of the way I had to turn the receiver up higher to get the same output. I watch movies right around 50-52 when with the Sony speakers, I was quite happy at 40. I suspect this is related to the 82 db rating (and the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5). But turning the Amp up a little higher is not a big deal and the Receiver has been very happy in it's low ventilation area, and is in no danger of overheating.

I also upgraded my speaker wire to 16 gauge and have not noticed a difference.

Other thoughts, even though the Sub is a 100W amp, it only produces 50W of output, just like it says on the Manufacture site. So Amazon was a little misleading there. No big deal, because the Sub is quite adequate in my 1200 sqft house, it is everywhere, my poor wife.

My Brother who spent well over $1000 on his surround sound (Mine: $100.98 speakers, $165 receiver, $10 in speaker wire) said my setup sounded better than his, we were watching UP on Blu-ray. That made me very happy! So it was well worth it, and I have been very pleased with the whole set up.

On a side note I definitely recommend the Pioneer VSK-519. It is the only receiver in it's class (<$200) that accepts and uses audio via HDMI from your sources, where most do "pass through" and therefore make you bring your audio via digital coax or optical. This is great because you need HDMI or 5 pairs of RCA cables (My BD player only has HDMI out) to get true loss-less audio.

I definitely recommend these speakers for people on a budget, but if I had an extra $100 I would have gotten some Energy Take 5 speakers paired with a Polk sub. But no regrets and I don't plan on upgrading them anytime soon.

For the price I didn't expect much from these speakers, and when I got them they definitely exceeded my expectations. I have always been a fan of Yamaha audio equipment and when I was looking for a decent (cheap) set of 5.1 speakers for my Onkyo SR606 I came across this set and thought I'd give them a try. Much to my pleasure they work great! I am only using 3.1 right now but the sound is far superior to any pre-packaged HTS that I have looked at.

PROS - Price, quality of build, sound quality
CONS - plastic casing/style (not the greatest for displaying around your house) This is a very minor con!

Except for broken center channel and flimsy cable, works fine..., February 23, 2009

Paradux (Eastern NY) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Yamaha NS-SP1800BL 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker Package (Electronics)

Using this with a Sony BD player and Onkyo 5.1 amp linked via coax audio; TV via HDMI. After all settings were completed, the action and big explosions sounded great. If you listen to movies using TV speakers, you don't know what you're missing.

BUT I couldn't hear dialog. Checked all settings, and searched online forums. I tried to boost the dB for the center but still couldn't hear. Speakers are connected via Monster Cable instead of the flimsy speaker cable provided (so small the connectors won't even hold it). Then I used the test tone from the amp to find out the center channel speaker doesn't work. I'm using an existing bookshelf speaker for center for now.

Otherwise, the bases sound fine and rest of the speakers seem more than powerful enough for my tiny home theater room. Watched Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3-D with 6-year old, and the combination 3-D video and 3-D audio were a winner with him.

For a small room, with a decent amp and proper cables (do yourself a favor, and get at least 16-gauge) this set should work just fine for most movie lovers. Audiophiles should look elsewhere. And test all speakers before you throw out the packaging (as I did).

UPDATE: after mentioning to Amazon the center channel was not working but I didn't want to pack everything up, they promptly shipped me a new set FOC - with pre-paid return as well. Next day. New center channel works great, and sound has greatly improved. Nicely done!

Luxurious sound for an amazing price, February 15, 2009

Pace Picante (New York City) -

This review is from: Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black) (Electronics)

I recently plunged into the HD market -- bought a Samsung LCD (A550), a Sony Blu-ray player (350 model), an Onkyo TX-SR606, and these speakers. I did tons of research on TVs, BDPs, receivers, and speakers. I found 3 audio/video websites that had reviewed the Energy speakers. Google "Energy 5.1 Take Classic review" and you'll find them.

Aside from what the reviews say, I fell in love with these speakers for their elegantly simple design (they look great with my TV). They are nothing flashy, and since I've owned them (about 6 months now), none of my friends have commented on my "cool-looking speakers." But they HAVE commented on the sound. They sound very fresh, alive, and well-rounded. Movies sound terrific -- the multi-channels blend seamlessly together and create this living, breathing soundfield. And like the professional reviewers say, music sounds especially good. In 5-channel stereo mode, it is bliss for my ears.

I live in an apartment in New York City, so my living room isn't exactly huge. These speakers fill my space wonderfully. I'm not sure how far you could push the volume in a bigger room, but I have yet to push these too far, and I've listened to many movies at a pretty loud volume (my poor neighbors...).

After living with these for half a year, I couldn't be happier. This just might be your best bet at getting amazing 5.1-channel sound without buying large expensive speakers.

This review is from: Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black) (Electronics)

Paired with the inexpensive, high-quality Monoprice 16 gauge speaker wires, these speakers provide amazing sound at a price that can't be beat.

I recently installed an entirely new media center consisting of the Samsung LN46B650 LCD TV, an Onkyo TX-SR606 AV Receiver, these speakers (with the Monoprice 16 gauge speaker wires), these inexpensive speaker mounts, HDMI cables that cost less than a dollar each, and a PS3. All I can say is "WOW"!

I am so glad I didn't buy more expensive speakers than these, because these sound awesome. I was a little hesitant at first because I had never heard of the Energy brand, but after reading the reviews here and on CNET, I gave it a shot and I'm so glad that I did!

Crisp sound, powerful bass... I couldn't ask for anything more. The only complaint I have about these speakers is that the positioning, size, and angle of the 5-way speaker wire connections on the back makes it difficult to use regular sized banana plugs. But I didn't even deduct a star for that because the sound was excellent when I just twisted the wire ends and inserted them bare.

Regular TV sounds awesome. Movies sound awesome. PS3 games like Rock Band sound awesome. Music streamed from my PC to my PS3 sounds awesome.

I recommend these speakers to everyone!

Additional specs you may find useful:
- Satellite speakers weigh 2.9 lbs. each, center speaker weighs 3.2 lbs.
- Speakers are all magnetically shielded
- Recommended crossover frequency on receivers is 100Hz-120Hz. Satellite speakers have frequency response of 115Hz-20kHz, and center speaker 110Hz-20kHz
- Speakers rated at 8 ohms, 100 watts
- Speakers have 1/4"-20 TPI threaded inserts AND old school keyholes for mounting
- Tweeters in all speakers are 3/4 inch Hyperbolic aluminum-dome
- Woofers in all speakers are 3 inch poly-titanium
- Crossover points are 2.9kHz, efficiency room rated 89dB
- Subwoofer has separate volume level, low-pass filter 40Hz-150Hz @ 18dB/octive, Phase setting 0 degrees to 180 degrees, and a power mode switch for ON/OFF/Auto-Off
- Subwoofer is 200 watts with an 8" MPP Cone

Absolutely Astonishing!, April 9, 2008

btgawedz "btgawedz" (St. Louis) -

This review is from: Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black) (Electronics)

I have recently purchased this system paired with a Denon AVR1508. And all I can say is WOW!

I originally purchased the POLK RM705 package, and kept them all of 2 days, brought those back and got the Klipsch Quintet III paired with the KSW10 subwoofer, on both systems all the satellites' did was nothing but scream at you and the subwoofer distorted at low to medium levels regardless of what I threw at it, music or home theater (KSW10 not quite as bad). Needless to say they went back as well, I know I am picky! I was going to give up on the 5.1 package and go get bookshelf speakers or towers.

However ENERGY has changed my view on the 5.1 kit! ENERGY has also made very nice high end speakers for a while now, which have always been very efficient, crisp and clean, and they have done it again! Music and Home Theater purely sound superb! The satellites' do not scream which helps the subwoofer compliment the overall sound, hence not missing the mid range. This helps in accomplishing the full sound that I believe we all desire.

I do only have one small complaint. I do have to turn the subwoofer down when jamming normal music (stereo 2.1) or there will be slight distortion from the subwoofer, however for the money and the fact the 5.1 systems are pretty much entirely designed for movies... top notch! And a slight turn of the knob once or twice a year when the time calls for really cranking up the volume, not a huge issue!

As far as home theater no subwoofer issues there! The subwoofer produces extremely clean, tight, deep bass, which makes any explosion or thunder shake the couch. The satellites' in any listening configuration are absolutely unbelievable, clean, clear, crisp, enabling you to hear fingers actually sliding over the guitar strings as they are being strummed, incredible!

Do yourself a favor and go listen to these if you are in the market for a 5.1 system and make sure to bring the check book as you will need it, I did!

I hope this helps as this is a fairly new HT system and there are not a whole lot of reviews out there, but the ones that are, seem to agree with mine!

The lapcaddy has an extremely firm foam bottom for your lap. This is precisely why I bought the product....no bean bag type soft bottom. It has a lip on one side so laptop and papers will not slide off. It can be turned around if you don't want a lip in the front. Pockets on the left and right side are for ink pens, etc. with velcro closings. Has a carrying handle, but have never used it. The hard plastic top can be removed from the foam base. The plastic top attaches to the foam at the 4 corners with elastic. Only problem I have had is the elastic will need to be replaced soon. I never take the top off, but the elastic is stretching out. This is a perfect laptop desk or table for home or the car. Cover unzips for cleaning, but haven't had to clean it yet.

I actually originally bought the Opetek CFT80 Carbon Fiber tripod and thought that was an awesome deal already for about $100, but afterwards I found the Ravelli Carbon Fiber version and this aluminum version. Both these products look and feel exactly the same as the more pricier Opetek version and work exactly the same. I now regret buying the first Optek tripod because I could get 3 or these for the price of one of those. I currently now own 1 carbon fiber Opetek and Ravelli tripod and 2 of these aluminum tripods. In comparison I would just buy this over the carbon fiber tripods because there is basically no difference in the weights and quality of the tripods. I recommend this product to anyone.
