Here are my components:
Unless otherwise noted, all the components came from Radiocrafts on 16th ave.
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR702
THX Select Certification. 100W x 7 channels. THX Surround EX, Dolby EX, Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES, 96/24, Neo:6. Video upconversion to component. Powered Zone 2 (JBL N24AWII pair outside on the patio).

Speakers:
Front: Klipsch RB-25
Center: Klipsch RC-25
Surrounds: Klipsch RS-25
Klipsch bookshelves. Great sound. Large woofer adds low end punch, and the horn loaded tweeters. The new center adds more voice depth. Even DTS Neo:6 material sounds tighter. The horn sure makes the high end sound quicker, and I don't mind the 'zippy' sound for movies and TV, which is most of my listening. Center tilts down, so sound feels like its coming from the TV, where it should be. The surrounds feature 2 horns at 90° from each other. They open the sound field, enveloping the listener much more than direct radiating. All very natural sounding.

Subwoofer: Pro-Linear Bass Cube 8
8" woofer, 250W Amplifier. Needed a new sub after the last one blew. Searched and found out about the Bass Cube from a Canadian company. The higher power output is noticable, and the smaller woofer is not noticed. (London Drugs)

Television: LG RU44SZ61D
44" Widescreen DLP HDTV, with the HD2+ TI chip. Excellent picture, Love watching everything. DLP is amazing, plus HD. Once you get 16x9 HD you'll never want anything else.

DVD Player: LG LGR435
This is a DVD Recorder model, capable of recording onto DVD ±R/RW. Can record in 16:9 or 4:3, and discs look good on other DVD players. Progressive Scan (480p) model, kicks the crap out of my old player. Much smoother picture, better color as well. No scan lines present. Used for CD player as well. No SACD/DVD-A plans as of yet. Nor HD DVD or Blu-ray.

Digital Cable Tuner: Motorola DCT6412
HDTV receiver, Dual Tuner PVR. Awesome. Component, DVI, Optical/Coaxial out. The 120GB hard drive is pretty good to hold most shows, about 15 hours HD. The HD channels come through nicely, although I wish Shaw carried some more, WGN and Discovery. Hopefully these come soon. (Shaw Cable)

Gaming Console: Sony PlayStation 2 and PSOne
Had a PSOne before a PS2, obviously. Had a choice between an XBOX and PS2 and went with the Sony mainly for backward compatability and I didn't want to support Microsoft, although with HDTV now, the HD pack is a little more enticing. I also have the network adapter for online gaming, especially good with Tony Hawk's Underground and Need for Speed Underground 2. (Wal-Mart)
