    Scenes That Gave You A Chill...

    I'll just put the movies since most of you know the scenes. *All 3 Matrix movies. *All of Gladiator. *Last scene of Usual Suspects. *Last scene of Sixth Sense. *All of Unbreakable. *All of Signs. *The Bourne Identity, where Jason kills that guy in the field and asks who he works for and...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    I pretty much have broken down the matrix to 3 words: Control, Choice, and Purpose. We've all seen how these all play the main themes in the movies. The two that are hardest to define are Choice and Purpose. We understand why machines want to control humans. They need energy, pretty simple...

    Who can claim to be the "biggest and baddest" sub?

    I have a TV-12 in my Ultra. I can only imagine (maybe not even :confused: ) what you guys are planning on with this bad boy. I love the idea of the B4 and Everest in that they have multiple drivers/pr's but there's just something about having a sub with one driver that rocks the house. If you...

    Anyone planning on picking up Unreal 2 tomorrow?

    The Thief 1 and 2 are, in my opinion, on my top five favorite games and should be up high on the alltime list. Splinter Cell reminds me a lot of it but there is nothing like Thief. As for Unreal II, I'll pass. It's just 10 hours. I can put 10 of gameplay in one night, ofcourse with little sleep...

    My enthusiasm for 'THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 2' just dropped.

    I heard a couple of months back that he wanted 20 million for FATF2. Since the new director (John Singleton) didn't believe he was worth that much money for the role, he began casting for someone else. That is when Vin decided to stick with FATF director Rob Cohen for XXX2. It's all about the...

    Superman finally may be getting off the ground

    Spiderman is a perfect example of leaving the original storyline alone. Sure there were some minor adjustments to the story but the actual backbone of the story was left intact. Superman is a very simple story and that is why so many people can relate to it. 1. His home planet is destroyed by...

    *** Official "SIGNS" Review Thread

    Saw it Sunday and it was great. I had a great time just being taken away into the story. Everyone did a great job of acting. I feel the negative comments on Mel's part about him being too stiff aren't fair. He was an ex-priest, pretty much cornered himself away from most of society on his farm...

    Ctr Channel Question (specifically Axiom VP150 related)

    Jason Co, I did that too. But the top of my tv is a bit narrow and i can't angle it down enough without worrying about it actally falling off. Being that far back is actally pretty cool. Once all the lights are out you can't tell how far away the speakers are and sound just starts coming at...

    Ctr Channel Question (specifically Axiom VP150 related)

    Robertto, Right now i am about 11'-12' from the center. But again you won't know until you actually put the center in your room. I think the reason I have to move so far back is also because the center channel is placed high on top of the tv and I have low ceilings. My theater room ceiling...

    Ctr Channel Question (specifically Axiom VP150 related)

    The VP150 is a great center channel speaker. It matches the M22's perfectly. But I will tell you when I first got it, I did experience that "boxy" sound people talk about. But after playing around with room placement I figured out what it was. My seating area is too close to the speaker. In my...

    Wall mounting Axiom M22 speakers.

    Bob-N, I was just looking at that page and then I realized that the sides of the M-22's are not parallel. The enclosure in the front then the back. Would the BT-77 be able to grip the speaker properly?

    Wall mounting Axiom M22 speakers.

    I saw a post a few days ago of nice wall mounts for bookshelf speakers. Ofcourse now that I would like to purchase wall mounts I can't find that post. Does anyone have/recommend any wall mounts for the M22's. I don't want to drill into the actual speaker.

    Got my 4 Axiom M22's, VP150 center, Outlaw 1050 receiver, and my SVS Ultra without hearing any of it. Was the best purchase i've ever made. :D

    Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

    Saw the DLP version at the Midnight showing. Yes I made it to work 4 hours later. Yes I am hurting since I am so tired. AND HELL YES IT WAS WORTH IT!!!! :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: I think some people are worrying too much on little things on this movie. Ebert's...

    Outlaw/Axiom/SVS combo.

    Hey Marc. Didn't know you were on this forum. I really do love the Axioms. The VP150 is really a great center channel. Dialogue is clear and off axis sound is great. The M22Tise are wonderful with music and movies. I can't say enough good things about them. Soon I will be moving and...

    Outlaw/Axiom/SVS combo.

    Frank, Yep, it's the new TV-12 driver. And yes it is probably the best deal out there. The journey to hometheater happiness was very long and hard to make a final decision but the Ultra is the gem in my system. And not matter what system I upgrade to (:) ) it will always be there. It is...

    Outlaw/Axiom/SVS combo.

    Hello everyone. I have had my setup long enough to make a few comments on how it is working out. I am very very happy with the results. I ended up with 4 Axiom M22TI's, 1 Axiom VP150, Outlaw 1050 receiver and SVS Ultra/Samson1000 combo. After breaking it all in for over a month I have no...

    SVS first encounter and a question.

    ;) It was pretty funny. Actually I got kind of embarrassed. I never imagined that sort of stuff was possible. I have read many posts about subs being able to "rip up the floorboards" and ofcourse you just laugh and think this guy is really exaggerating. But when i experienced it for myself...

    SVS first encounter and a question.

    I received the single Ultra/S1000 package. I invited some friends over and we did some listening. Material used: Diana Krall in Paris Eagles Hell Freezes Over Phantom Menace Jurassic Park 3 Unbreakable I pretty much jumped to the scenes where bass would be the main material...

    SVS CS-Ultra/S-1000 question

    A long weekend indeed. Hang in there. I just got my Ultra/S1000 a few days ago and calibrated lastnight. I say leave the amp in Stereo mode and use one channel with the gain all the way up and use your receiver to calibrate the sub volume. I can't imagine needing more power than the one...

    Outlaw 1050 Speaker adjusting.

    Thanx for the kind words Patrick. I just got into work, late ofcourse, stood up late calibrating with VE. Big difference now. I got everything to 75db and my sub around 79-80db. So far the 1050 is pretty impressive. The only problem so far was JP3 but I heard that is a problem with the dvd...

    Outlaw 1050 Speaker adjusting.

    Thanks for the info. I thought that was right. I am going to rent Video Essentials this weekend but am ordering Avia for myself. I find the 1050 manual to be a little confusing, but I guess I just to have pay more attention. My head is in a fog right now, got my whole system deliered the...

    Outlaw 1050 Speaker adjusting.

    Just got my 1050 yesterday and I am a little confused. When I used the internal test tones (getting avia/ve today) I can't add/subtract db's from the front main channels. So I am assuming that I set the front channels to 75db and then add/subtract the center and surrounds accordingly. Or is...

    Just got my Ultra yesterday. Couldn't really calibrate everything properly because I don't have Avia yet. Just used the internal test tones but I am highly impressed. I had the HGS 18, that is/was a great sub. The Ultra just feels different though. Powerful doesn't describe the experience...

    I know what you guys are feeling. I'm order number 3128 for an Ultra package. I kept hitting send/receive on my email hoping i'll see that it has been shipped. :frowning:

    SVS loud but not very accurate

    Doesn't bass just bring out the best in everyone?! :D I had the HGS 18 in my home for about 3 weeks. Really beautiful looking. Sounded very good but sent it back, now waiting for my Ultra. Simply put I could not justify buying it when I knew that I was missing the bottom end because of the...
