Here's what I'm not understanding about the HDR spec- we need much brighter projectors than currently available to meet the nits requirement needed. The thing is, in my completely blacked out theater room with my JVC rs400 at -10 iris on a 131" wide 2.35:1 screen it can still be blindingly...

Wow, I haven't been on this forum in years, but have great memories of getting sucked into home theater and speaker/sub building here ages ago. I owe my entire home theater to this form... Just popped up in my email today, don't know why. Anyway, I agree, I would wait a while before shelling...

Hi, Haven't been here in a long time! I was going to build a sub for a friend, and copy one I built a while ago. I'm using a first gen SVS 12" driver (very similar to the Shiva) and I had used the Adire white paper for the sub design, basically the mid-sized sealed box design. Adire is...

Felix, By the way, my IB is in, with 4 15" Dayton IB drivers in my little room. Pretty amazing. We'll have to do our Rochester sub adventure sometime. . . Wes

I have a Sony WEGA 27" TV and an Infocus 4805 running an 82" diagonal screen, both in a dedicated basement HT room. The TV is in one front diagonal corner. We don't watch a lot of TV, and what we do watch turned out to mostly be available on HD over cable. Needless to say, we haven't...

I have the OPPO. It does not have HDCP, so it will play on any display, whether the display is HDCP compliant or not. I have a 318, and it would lock up with my Infocus 4805 over DVI. The OPPO works great. Wes

No banding for me, either. Can you link to the avs thread? Maybe it's display dependant like the macroblocking problem. Wes ps I'm on a 4805 over component at 1080i

Robert V, Where are you in NY? How much for the Isobar shipped to Rochester, NY 14625? Is the Isobar in good condition? Thanks, Wes

Hi, I have a 4805, and love it, but I don't think it's going to work for you. You really need to sit back 2x the screen width for the pixel structure to work, and also, it's not really a high enough resolution projector to do a ton of computer stuff. You need at least a 720p projector, but...

Mike, I have a 4805, running a HD DVR box from Time Warner. Granted the resolution on the 4805 is not 720p, but it's got such great contrast and colors, that it looks great. I can really tell whether a source is giving a good signal or not. That said, you will miss some resolution compared...

elMalloc, Where did you get a $20 HDMI to DVI adapter? I paid $40 for mine! Wes

Kevin, I'm using the Stryke CD to generate tones as well, and don't have the Excel chops to change it around. Could I get you to post a link to your edited Excel sheet or email it to me? I'd like to see the response down to 12.5 hz, etc. Thanks! Wes Nance

We're here in the US! What would be your best price for all the 8529 and the 2 sets of plugs *shipped* to Rochester, NY (14625)? (In US $$) Too bad you can't slip them aboard the fast ferry! Thanks, Wes

John, Thanks for stopping in, and basically answering a lot of questions. These are really great looking drivers for the $$, and part of me wishes I'd waited on the Daytons, as these look so much cooler! Too one of the big points of an IB is that you don't see anything! Good to know that the...

Aaron, That's the question. These are premium level drivers, and I think would be a good deal at $199 each, so $100 each seems really cheap. You can see just by looking at the pic that it has the nice cast aluminum basket, instead of the stamped steel basket, etc. I'm going to post on the...
