Count me in for the boycott. I think unification is a good goal, nothing like witholding profits to affect corporate idiocies. I own a 46 and 65 inch hdtv's with only component inputs, so I'm concerned with the HDMI only specs, but I know I can upgrade my equipment at anytime soon if I really...

JeffMc, Point taken and I absolutely agree with the attempt to maket this film as a next Blair Witch, I guess they were hoping to bottle the same lightning bolt. And as you said, to each his own, I hardly go to the theaters anymore unless there's something compeling that I can't wait for the...

Yeah, I liked this movie as well. Being an avid scuba diver, I was a little hesitant to see something that in some ways took a valid fear and realized it through film. Not that it happens all that often, but it does happen, people have been left by dive boats and the angst that this couple show...

Ed, I agree on how small a number gets cited by ISF. I believe that the first rating is for the piture and the second for sound. As for newer releases, if you look at ISF ads in HT magazines you'll find that they always come with a DVD/Scene number for new releases, it looks like they just...

Brent, This may not satisfy your request, but try the ISF list, I know they only reference certain scenes, but it fits the bill. I show off my system with some of their suggestions. http://www.filmsondisc.com/ISF_Refer...VD_Program.htm Andrew

Does BASEketball count? :laugh:

Try looking into Paradigms. They have a fantastic line from top to bottom, then get yourself an SVS sub as already mentioned. Are you limiting yourself on cubes/small speakers for a particular reason?

Chris, I can almost understand your post and your desire to be "informative", I think you're also missing the point on all the response to your original post... Really, the only information you provided is that these white van speakers are available on the net. Understand that we here at...

Ernest, You've got the v3's? How do you like em? I thought about getting the cc v3's but I'm hedging a little, since I'm not sure if they're sonically equal to the v2's. Paradigm first said they we not, then I read else where that they are...I need to make a trip to my local dealer and get...

Ernest, Don't know if it matters since I use the spikes, but I have my 100's set with the smaller against the speakers, and the spikes are anchoring them to my carpeted floor. Andrew

Jeremy, Congrats, I have Paradigm Ref. speakers and absolutely love them. As for setup, there are a variety of DVD's for calibration out there, AVIA, and Essentials are the ones that come to mind. To properly calibrate, go get yourself a Radioshack SPL meter and use one of the above...

James, You might want to check out the ISF reference list on: http://www.filmsondisc.com/ISF_Refer...VD_Program.htm Ever since I got my display calibrated, I've used this list plus some of the newer dvd's since this list isn't updated as often as I would hope. The list also enumerates...

For its price point, upgradeability, and commmitment to keep their software tweaked by what the buyers want, Anthem's AVM-20 is really hard to beat. I demoed the Aragon Stage One and the Anthem at the same time (my dealer let me take both home) and the Anthem matched the Stage One in all the...

Add my $.02 on the side of more power with amps. I own Paradigm's studio 100's and the corresponding center and surrounds. I just added Outlaw's M200 monoblocks for my Mains and I'm completely blown away by the extra power, both for 2-channel music and HT usage. I'm adding 5 more once the check...
