Good luck meeting your 2 week deadline :) I am wrapping up my HT by mid next week. My project went over timewise by roughly 3 weeks and more so $$. This is my second go at it. I learned a lot doing it twice. Acessability to wiring is a must for future upgrades. Technology has change so much in...

Version 2

Bought new 2.5 years ago for dedicated home theater. They have been in a box for the last year. They are in immaculate condition with the mounting brackets. $300 for the pair plus shipping. If you have any reservations about me as a seller check out my feedback on EBAY under user "Muczen". I...

I checked the plug which is in the recesses of my wire closet. It was pulled out only slightly. After pushing it in I did not notice the problem that evening. I seems odd that this never happened before or how the plug would be loosened but for now it seems to have done the trick. One would...

I have not checked it today. The volume was not up loud. I will check it tonight.

Yesterday I was watching a movie and my receiver kept quickly turning off and on. It did it threee separate times. It was only on for a total of 45 minutes. We did just have a big lightning storm but the receiver is on a monster surge and non of my other connected equipment was failing...

Ok thats all the input I need I will relate the info to my friend. Jerry - thanks for the idea but he wants brand new.

The new version 3 ADP170's are slanted out instead off strickly to the sides. Since I bought the version 2's I am wondering if the new versions would create a more diffuse sound field. Any comments?

Ok 30 views and no opinions? My friend has been looking at a setup for over a year. He is very tight woth his money and would love someone to say " What a Deal" So for my benefit someone please say "What a Deal" Seriously, this seems like a decent package price but I thought I would ask...

Doing research for a friend. Is this a good deal/performance for the buck? Paradigm (2) Monitor 7's (2) Mini-Monitor w/ Stands (1) CC370 Total $1134 Add: $270 PDR10 Sub Thanks

I am wiring in my HT for 7.1. My left rear is 50 feet from my receiver. That is the farthest with the right rear being closest at 20 feet. Should all my runs be similiar in length. If I wire my right rear fifty feet I would have 30 feet excess. Would I just put it in the wall?

To jump into this thread - Is the $99 kit all I need if I just use the supplied remote? And Can I add 2 more dimmers to the set. One for sconces, and 2 for recessed lights? I bought the Lutron Maestro for 27 and need 2 more but for 99 plus the cost of 2 more switches it may be worth it...

Neither my Home Depot or Lowes carry any sound deadening material. They do carry 1/2" thick foam board ( kraft rmatte plus) that has outer covering material. If I where to put this between my studs and drywall would this help to sound proof the walls. Also, I am planning on just adding a new...

Yes, I think I will try to get some sort of ventilation in the plan while I am at it. On thing I did stumble across today at Lowes was a subfloor vent that opens when the temperature is 70F and closes at 38F. Granted this does not circulate air but it does permit heat to escape. I thought it...

Thanks for the input. I will incorporate your ideas in my plans.

Jimmy, could you explain how the Polk's match the pinnacles. I am searching for rear surrounds and I have not even considered polks until now. How is the bass.

I am going to locate my equipment in the wall with rear access to the back via the garage. Any suggestions on design. Obviously I want to protect the gear but I am concerned about insulating the box and keeping my equipment from overheating. So far I was considering building a 5'x 2'x2'...

I am also a proud owner of Pinnacle speakers. My first pair was purchased 13 years ago. At the time I never heard of Pinnacle but I was very inpressed. Currently I have the mini's, gold center and gold towers for my 5.1 setup. (sony sub). However, in my room I need diffused rears and will be...

Thanks for all the great ideas. I will be starting on my riser this week. I am going to incorporate a trap door to hide wires and coxial connections. Since I am leaning towards a dlp projector I need to start looking at models to get my specific room requirements. I like the conduit idea...

Thanks for the replies. A couple follow-ups. I will be also hooking up a PC and xbox. That is why I thought the the gear would be good near the seating position on the riser. Although It will be tight. Robert how is your computer connected to the projector. Are you running video to the...

Ok, I have nailed down the layout that works in my room. It all changed after I convinced my wife to go FPTV. Now I am nervous $$$. Anyway, Where is the best location to put my equipment. Next the seating area, up front , or to the side. What is the most expensive cable run? I assume it...

Well it seems like just whn I sort out one issue (dipoles vs monpoles) I come up with another. Let me start by saying my room is off the kitchen in our 2000sft home. Currently, there is a paastrhough window and an open walkthrough area. I plan one sealing that wall and adding a solid door...

Ok, now I am confused. Everywhere I was going locally I was hearing that FPTV was at least 7K to start for a good set-up. Even on these forums. However, now I am hearing people spending 2 or 3K for a decent projector. I was planning on spending 3-4K on a RPTV but would much rather go FPTV if...

Bernard, I can assure you that your French-English is alot better than my English-French. Your room is alot like mine except for my door is on the right. It is not a "French Door" either. My riser was going to be on the opposite end. On the door side I was going to put my equipment and...

Robert, Thanks for the reply. I have a couple of questions. First, what are your room dimensions. Secondly, I am also going to wire for 6.1/7.1. I have direct radiators for the center rear. Where should they be mounted? I thought directly behind the listener spaced evenly apart. I see...

Just finished deconstructing my new space for our HT room. The dimemsions are 11' x 17' with 8' ceilings. One end will have a new wall and door. The other three sides are solid frame. I have decided to install a riser from the back wall(11' wide) for seating. This is opposite the wall with...

Yes, Aestecally, they have thir differences. However, I can take any one. Other than sound what about build quality or any other intangibles.
