I had a set of Aerius i's and the Logos center running off the amp. I don't understand what you mean by "did they run hot with them". the amp never really over-heated, or at least in any way that I ever noticed, and the speakers played perfectly normal for a year or so. the last set of...

I've used the Acurus with a set of Martin Logan speakers with great results. I'm pretty sure it'll handle anything you want to use.

Sony HS20 LCD projector sold!! Acurus A200x3 $600 solid 3 channel amp with 200 watts of power per channel. perfect if you want your entire front soundstage to have the same amplification! it's a bit heavy so I'd prefer a SF area sale but I'll ship it if the buyer is willing to pay...

I've considered this but I don't think I want to rely on renting till HD DVD appears. there are just too many steps in the meantime: new displays, new hardware, new software, new pre-amps, etc... so I'll stick with what works in the hear-and-now instead of holding out for the future.

I agree that the earlier criterion stuff with film historians are extremely interesting.... this matrix selections just seem like a lark. it sounds like it'll be a savaging instead of just critiquing. oh well. I'm probably going to get it anyway.

I understand why W brothers are keeping silent on the commentary tracks... but the choice of the those two philosophers and the critics who disliked the films seem bizarre to me. I hope they'll at least get all the lit. references and such.

I was hoping that they would have investigated the time that CD-R and DVD-R/W's can last. but I'm glad that it was mentioned at least. but how many DVD/CD's has anyone lost to this kind of rot?

yup. have a few hits via craigslist and such already.. I just thought there might be a HTF in the area who wanted a decent deal on a HDTV. and while I appreciate the ease of shipping via it's separation capabilities.. it just won't fit in my new loft. and it gives me an excuse to...

65" Mitsubishi 65819 HDTV for sale in the Northern California area. $1500 I've already had this set ISF'd and it's gorgeous. I'm moving and it just won't fit in my new house.

neat thread! for ChrisBEA Best: Shaolin Soccer The Twins Effect: DTS Brazil Worst: Six String Samurai Kung Pow Thumb Wars: The Phantom Cuticle Needed: sex is zero the mission The Twilight Samurai

this is going to be shown at the SF international asian film festival on thrusday night. can't wait!

michael: I read a few months ago that Simmons actually did a script for a series of two hyperion/endimon movies. he compressed the whole thing into two movies by making some pretty big changes... but I'd rather have him do it than some other writer. who knows if it'll ever get made though.

how many more of the shows from our youth will the re-package? funny trailer though!

dome: I think the shift to front-load the lion's share of the profits to the studios happened before godzilla. jurassic park was pretty high, star wars ep.1, etc... and don't forget the shortened release window (started with batman). movies don't have "legs" too much anymore since so many...

I'd bet it's because the last vin movie tanked at the box office. so he doesn't have as much "clout" right now. so why make him the only draw for the movie?

john s: you are confused.... the 4802 has three HDTV (component based) inputs NOT three HDMI cory: I'd wait till HDMI v2 is out (late this spring) so you can get dvd-a, sacd audio on the same cable. HDMI v1 can't handle the high resolution audio... the big onkyo receiver looks nice...

yes yes yes. cut has more to do with the sparkle than anything else. I mispoke a bit. the cut is something shadier places like to hide faults and shortcomings. the math/history behind it is pretty nifty if you are into that kind of thing. but I'd still skimp on color of any of the four c's...

1) learn the four C's. everything is based off of those. 2) buy the biggest rock you can afford. they "shrink" on a girl's finger as the years get longer. you can say it's materialistic... so is the need for a big tv and a decent sub. nothing is better than the gleam a woman gets in her eye...

I have the sony hs20. damn nice projector. I went for it because of the extra lumens (on paper), HDMI input (and corresponding bit rate on the panel) and the MLA. go through the AVS forums for some serious in depth stuff on every projector. the sanyo has a nice lens shift and is a good...

woo! got a ticket for dublin, ca going to be quite the exhausting day..

Dune. I always chuckle when I hear those crappy power chords. good god that was a painful mix.

I've never walked out on a film but I did have to trun off the movie Irreversible. god that was a painful film to watch.

bump for a newly reduced price! $700 for this beauty.

what are you offering to trade? I'm open to something nifty...

UPDATED: newly reduced price!! For Sale: Parasound HCA-2200 MkII for $700. A heavy amp that is built like a tank. It'll handle any kind of difficult speaker load with ease! Designed by John Curl, this amp is an outstanding value for someone lookiing to getting into separates. I...

http://us.imdb.com/Title?0089823 Polish Vampire in Burbank. the lowest movie I've ever seen. certainly not a 'good movie' but it had some things that have stuck with me all these years since I first saw it... like the creative use of a skeleton from a med school, the queer-wolf (he...

I wouldn't look for a $20 bottle. this kind of alcohol costs a bit for you to sample the good stuff. spend a little more and taste something better.

did you know that the brewer for sierra nevada was originally a homebrewer in the san fernando valley? he was a member of the maltese falcons. (if memory serves me correctly) an amazing beer. almost the defacto standard in San Francisco (since it's made in Chico)

oky doky. here's a brief summary of what I have on my shelf: 10yr Bowmore an Islay malt. quite a bit of fire. 19yr Brora. highland but with pronounced peatiness. earthy. 10yr Ardberg. a little young. I wouldn't buy it again. 10yr Inverarity. my search for a replacement to the Aultmore...
