    not too happy with Sirius

    Thanks for the tip, maybe I should step up to the Anthem, also. I have two viewing rooms in my house. And, of course, everyone likes to hang out in the room with the cheaper system. I want to get one of those Brookstone massage chairs and plop it right in the middle of my HDTV, blast the...

    not too happy with Sirius

    For front speakers I have the 803S floor standing (B&W). My rear speakers are different b/c Stereo Exchange didn't have the 800 series in stock for the rear. And the Rotel processor is the one with the separate power amp I'm not sure which one b/c I am not home. I looked at the Anthem and it...

    not too happy with Sirius

    Let me start by saying I have returned my equipment, and Sirius wasn't for me. And I do believe if I installed it in my car, I probably would have been a lot happier. That being said, you can't deny the facts. Satellite radio is not being broadcast with a high bitrate (unless you get it thru...

    not too happy with Sirius

    I just want to say the customer service is excellent with Sirius, I just cancelled my subscription, and they waived the $15 signup fee. So you use XM in your car? I heard the music selection wasn't as good on XM, or their programming was more eclectic and not mainstream. Just what I heard...

    not too happy with Sirius

    I think it is appalling, personally. To charge for a service, to charge for the receiver (esp those of us who spend the money to buy the higher end receiver for $200+ dollars!). And the technology is available to them. According to Formerx, thru the dish network you get a much higher quality...

    not too happy with Sirius

    I tried Chill 64, but it isn't what I need. I am just returning everything (about $420 in total). And I think I am going to invest in DVD-audio. I have a bunch of discs but I am listening to it in dolby surround or dts, and it sounds great, and that isn't even taking full advantage of the dvd...

    not too happy with Sirius

    You know, I almost subscribed on a whim. I wanted to have it in my home, get a feel for it and then maybe get a portable one. I have Time Warner cable and they have a bunch of music stations. They don't sound quite as good as my Sirius/kenwood connection, but it is close and I think I am...

    Are you in NY? Have you tried listening to krock and switching back to Sirius. The quality is noticeably different. Could it be that my $300 Kenwood receiver just doesn't sound that good?

    not too happy with Sirius

    I just purchased the Kenwood receiver for Sirius (the 7000S). I hooked it up to my surround sound system (I have a really great system, Rotel processor with B&W speakers). I activated the service. And the first thing I noticed was sound quality. It wasn't as good as regular radio. I am here...
