HOME THEATER continued from page 22 speaker turns the movie sound of the DCS-994 from unpleasant to accept- able. Replace the center speaker, double the power in the surround and center channels to 30 watts per, and Fisher might have a product sonically competi- tive with an inexpensive, receiver-based system. Judging from the appearance and specs of the other rack/shelf systems I’ve seen, these comments would apply to most of them, too. The DCS-994 still has to be consid- ered a decent value, because even with its low performance, it offers a lot for $1,000. But I wondered how much extra you'd have to pay for a receiver-based WE’LL BEAT system that would offer truly satisfying ANY PRICE! performance. To find out, I consulted a JERROLD ¢ TOCOM e ZENITH OAK ¢ PIONEER @ HAMLIN few buyer’s guides. SCIENTIFIC ATLANTA For electronics, I found Sony’s $430 FOR ORDERS ONLY ALL SHIPPING & HANDLING FEES AT CUSTOMER’S EXPENSE STR-D711 receiver, which would offer Anyone implying theft of service will be denied assistance. much greater functionality — including CABLE WAREHOUSE video switching and music surround 10117 WEST OAKLAND PARK BLVD., SUITE 315, SUNRISE, FL 33351 modes —than the DCS-994. It matches NO FLORIDA SALES the DCS-994’s power in the main chan- Circle 34 on Reader Service Card. nels. But with 65 watts for the center channel and 20 watts for the surrounds, it offers enough power to achieve the volume levels action movies demand. To this, you could add Fisher’s $149 CRW-683 dual-cassette deck and Fish- er’s $399 DAC-2403 24-CD changer, which are practically the same as the units in the DCS-994. For speakers, I found Boston Acous- tics’ good-sounding $200/pair HD7s for the main speakers, $150/pair HD5s for surround and the $129 404V center speaker. These will offer dramatically higher performance than the DCS-994’s speakers. This system would clearly outper- form the DCS-994, although it would be more complicated to set up and operate. Of course, it would cost a lot more than the DCS-994: $1,439, a $440 difference. But the 30-percent discounts often available on this type of equipment would cut the difference to $307. For me, and I suspect for most people who are into audio and video, this would be $307 well spent. a TEG@AIPAMAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAALA A nice fit To protect video laserdisc jackets from dust and scratches use Jumbo Ziploc Freezer Bags, the size that’s 13 inches by 15 inches by 5/8-inch.
