The back support only supports the entertainment center stand. It is about 2' wide and attaches to all three shelves. Ii has two heavy duty bolts running through it into each shelf frame. The bolts are 18" apart. Based on what I have seen on other stands with brackets, I was hoping to bolt...

The TV Model is a Samsung LN40C630K1FXZA. Question: Can you attach heavy duty brackets to the back of the entertainment center and attach them to a wall bracket? The TV is 39 lbs. The entertainment center is much heavier, especially with the receiver and components on it.

I have no idea how I can upload photos here. The icons don't appear to be related to photos. Here are 4 pics: http://s191.photobucket.com/user/classactparty/library/Home%20Entertainment%20Center?sort=3&page=1

I have a 5' x 2' x 26" glass and steel entertainment center. It has a very heavy duty poly-resin back panel with the bolts 18" apart from center on each of the three shelves. I want to mount the TV to the back so it can be a little higher and have one or 2 small shelves under the TV for the...

They're the same mix. SACDs have the capability of sounding better than DTS-HD Master Audio. The question on this recording is whether you will honestly be able to tell the difference. I have the SACD and am astonished at the sound quality. That does you no good, however if you don't have...

Paul, It turns out this was a promo item that Monster, Inc. provided to Best Buy to be given away with the purchase of their high end in-ear headphones. How ironic. The UPC is 0 50644 79109 3. It does sound very nice though.

Robert, When movies are played back in a theater, they are mastered for a sound system that covers 200 people at minimum, and up to 600 on average. The volume levels do not translate well to a much smaller system in a 15' x 20' living room, or even a dedicated home theater close to that size. I...

RobertR, In some movies, the issue is not dynamic range. The issue is mastering the movie as one audio track instead of many little ones. In the theater, I had absolutely no problem hearing the dialogue to Thor. On my BD, I have to increase the center channel by 9 db.. I have a very balanced...

I recommend this: |http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882290130 It's a Polk PSW-505 460W 12" NewEgg is currently out of stock on these, but they usually put them on sale for 199.00 plus free shipping. I have purchased all of my Polk home theater speakers from NewEgg, and have...

I picked up a DTS disc of Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain from a online auction. I did not realize this was a Monster Promo item. The original recording was 3 channel. This DVD has a 5.1 mic as well as a hi-rez stereo mix. The 5.1 was mixed based on the location of the musicians in the...

I recently did some mods on my HT setup. Recently started going through my 5.1 music collection. Today's selection is the SACD of The Moody Blues' Seventh Sojourn. It's quad. I think I like the DTS version better, but it's still a nice listen.

I'm sorry, but the issue with the master tapes appears to be a problem I doubt will be overcome.. I can't conceive of the idea of them "baking the tapes"> I doubt anyone will have the guts to try this. Perhaps that is a major reason why many albums have not been converted to 5.1. As far as the...

Mike, Beware. Not all Deluxe Editions include 5.1 or Hi-Rez layers.

The WYWH SACD is indeed a beautiful package. The 5.1 mix is fantastic. It's not obsessive with panning or discrete effects. It allows the music to fully wash all over. The bass is full and warm. To compare it to the DSOTM 5.1, I'd have to say the DSOTM is the gourmet meal, and WYWH is the...
