Since I'm looking for something similar in a receiver, I'll piggyback this thread. I'm going to use a Sanyo PLV-Z4 projector for my display. I already have my cables ran (1 hdmi, 1 component, 1 composite, and conduit for future cables). I'd prefer to just send as much as possible through the...

I decided to go with putting in dricore for my theater room. I would have liked to put it througout the whole basement but didn't need the added cost at this time. It's not in yet, but we'll see how it goes. I'm hearing nothing but positive things on this stuff (here and elsewhere), so I'm sure...

I hadn't thought about adding a floating floor previously and only just started thinking about one (walls and platforms are up, carpet yet to be laid). To get something in fast, I was wondering if Dricore would work as a somewhat effective floating floor. I realize it wouldn't be as good as this...

That's really impressive looking. My wife had no problem accomodating my want for a dark room, so we got a really dark (very dark) purple, paired with an almost black ceiling, and a rather dark gray carpet. Using flat for the paint. The theater isn't finished, but I really like the purple so far.

I'm currently eyeing the pioneer elite 74, and it has most all of the input/output options I want (no dvi, but I can work around it). I really like the upconversion to hdmi, and I plan on pushing most of my video to my projector through that. What it can't do though is upscale and neither does...

I'm considering the Sanyo PLV-Z4 for my future projector purchase (and maybe the Panny 900 as well). Due to low-hanging bulkheads in my basement HT, I've got around 10' - 11' distance from the screen to projector when centered. I can gain an extra 1' in distance though by mounting the projector...

Is he willing to go used? Something like audiogon.com can net some decent stuff cheap. Maybe a '~$400/$500 receiver' there could be had for around half off and some low to mid end bookshelves from a decent brand could come to around $1K. My current HT setup has a Yamaha receiver that was used...

Ok, that helps. As for recommendations, what do you think is best for a new HT - stick with 5.1 or go with a 7.1 setup?

I'm wondering if I could use my HT receiver to also drive other speakers spread out across the house for music or whatever. Is that even possible? (I don't have a particular receiver yet, but take something like the Pioneer VSX-74TXVi for example) Is it possible to output audio to just the other...

My current living room setup is 5.1 so I'm familar up to that point, but I haven't followed up on the current spec regarding 6.1 and even 7.1. I know a few movies have 6.1 available. And I've seen 7.1 mentioned on some receivers although I'm confused as to whether that's an actual DD or DTS...

The framing is going up in our HT room in the basement. I plan on using a projector, so I need to figure out what cables to run to it. Now, I'm also planning on getting a receiver that upconverts to HDMI, so theoretically I shouldn't need anything other than one HDMI cable. I can also run a...

I just got my PSB speakers, and I'm going to use 1Bs for the rears, which will be wall mounted. PSB is kind enough to recommend a few different mounts, and even a template on where to drill the holes for the different brands. The types they recommend for the 1B are: - L & M Flushmount - Vogel...

Ok, I have settled on my mains now - PSB Image 2B (this will be for a more 'budget-orientated' HT setup). I plan to add a pair of PSB Image 1B speakers for my rears, and the Image 8C for the center. That would then leave the subwoofer. I was previously thinking about getting a 10" one. But now...

If it's ok, I'll ask a similar question: What is the best DVD player out there for $200 or under? My mom is thinking about delving into the DVD world, but price is a big concern for her. I doubt she'll go any higher than $200, as that would be stretching it for her. Progressive isn't an issue...

Decided to do some looking around today for speakers and receiver to turn my 'system' into an actual HT system (just have a TV and DVD & VCR players right now). In Indy, I had heard good things about Sound Pro, which was advertising a 50% off sale on demo equipment, so I stopped by there. I...
