HDMI vs Component Cables

Forums
Cables
Submitted by Johnhol on

I've purchased several new system components for my home theater in the past few days. I've purchased the new Denon 2807 A/V receiver and a new HDTV LCD TV - Sony Bravia. These will be hooked up to a Comcast Digital cable box supporting HD as well as my REL subwoofer and Vienna Acousitcs speakers. My question is about the use of HDMI cables vs component. The store manager is telling me that I don't need to use HDMI cables to connect the Denon, TV, and Cable box that instead it's better to use component. This seems to fly in the face of all of the hype about HDMI though.

Great writing in <I>The New Yorker</I> on a great musician singing some real "adult" music. I offer Britten as the refutation to those who say that there can be no great vocal music in English&mdash;I can't think of any of his operas or art songs that aren't immensely musical and moving. And did I mention dramatic?

Mid 70's Marantz 7 Imperial question

I know they were Marantz's answer (that failed badly) to the JBL L100. My question: Did marantz make a blue colored 12" woofer for the 7 Imperial? I cannot find a pic on the internet.

I ask because I can get a pair of 7s free if I just pick them up from a guy. He told me the woofers are blue and if they are 'replacements' then I dont want to make the drive.

Thanks

I've been paying more attention to my trembling hands. I wonder if they shake while I'm playing guitar. Does it contribute to my style? Has it determined the way I fret and strum?
