    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    I'd like to add Dolby Atmos to my home theater because I would appreciate a more accurate soundstage. Going from stereo to multichannel made a huge difference in drawing the audience into the movie and making it a thoroughly engaging experience. Dolby Atmos (along with a couple more speakers)...

    First impressions of the MC-8!

    Winfred, I'm using a pair of Citation 7.1s with my MC-8. Sounds awfully good to me, but someone was recently trying to sell me on the idea of the new Sherbourn seven channel amp as a replacement. I haven't done a Sherbourn demo yet. Anyone have any experience? -Gary

    Outlaw 950: review and discussions.

    Erik_C, The hiss you are experiencing sounds a lot like that described by Prefect back in May here that essentially kicked off the whole hiss hunt. Could they have possibly given you a non-modified unit by accident? Things like this DO happen. Mary, Thank you for your observations (as...

    Outlaw 950: review and discussions.

    OK, I'll chime in. I've been playing with the 950 for almost two weeks now. No 7.1 for me yet, but I've tried out almost all flavors of processing and non-processing on mono through 5.1 DD & DTS. I am VERY favorably impressed. Even for straight two channel listening (relative to my Conrad...

    New Baraka in Canada?

    Hi Tim, I would strongly recommend the new version. I had been waiting for the first release for years and was sorely disappointed by it. Audio quality was OK, but the video was painful to look at, especially given that it was shot on 70mm. The SE release is a huge improvement. Audio is at...

    Baraka - Anyone have the new one?

    Gord, I was just about to pose the same question when I saw your thread. I watched the original release again last week. Baraka certainly deserved better than it got in the original release! So, how good is good for the new release? Roger, are there any other current releases with comparable...

    "LaserLight" Hitchcock DVD Collection Quality?

    I haven't seen them all yet, but the ones I have seen are much better than Madacy. Given the age of some of these films, I thought they were quite good. No, they don't come close to what a major studio could do. As Ken points out, though, for the money they are a good way to investigate the...
