I hadn't thought about the eBay thing. Not a bad thought. I may upgrade the whole rig anyway and then sell my 4 good ones on eBay or buy a fifth and sell it as a complete set. My wife had suggested selling the 4 as a front three with a spare ... but this could work. Does anyone here have the...

Ohh - no doubt about the Martin Logans! I am definitely impressed with them. However, I am kind of stuck with the room that I have and from left to right I have : a door to my utility room (washer/dryer/second refrigerator), my Mits tv and then the audio rack that contains all of my equipment...

OK - it is now time to begin replacing speakers. I had an Eosone sub/sat system that I bought 8 years ago when I worked at Best Buy. I replaced the sub with an SVS 20-39 3 years ago. The sound was incredible. I have been very happy with our setup. The size was nice (tiny) but the sound was big...

OK - I realize that I'm late in posting this, and for that I'm sorry. Out of the 15 or so people that I sent a personal email to in regards of this event and this date, Only one responded in the affirmative that this time worked for them. Therefore, I guess it's kind of obvious that we need to...

Allright - things are somewhat coming together. I'd like to ask for feedback on an October 5th date. This is a month from now - so it shouldn't be too short of notice. I would like to get any specific requests for the meet from you, as well as an estimation of attendance. Wives, children, etc...

Jeff - It was never supposed to be a "fair" comparison. I was under no illusions. We were just testing his new sub and it was my idea to give a comparison to my 20-39. BTW - I am still quite pleased with my 20-39 and have no desire to upgrade at this time. John

Thanks for all the great replies, folks. There's obviously a lot for me to learn and this has been most helpful. It seems that a subsonic filter should be my next purchase. Dustin - I'm not all that informed on many of the subwoofer options out there. I've heard several of the SVS CS series...

Ned - I do indeed have the improved driver for the SVS. I do not have a subsonic filter for it. Will - I did not "tune" the passive radiator. It belongs to a friend of mine and he hasn't even heard it yet! I don't want to make any changes to the unit itself because of that. I will also admit...

I'll start by saying this is only my opinion of a few hours this afternoon. I am also quite a newbie at direct comparisons. So if you're looking for a technical, feature filled, measurement taken review, look elsewhere! This was just a few guys having some fun and using their (untrained) ears...

Excellent! Glad to see that some people are responding. I'll definitely start doing some legwork towards this. If we do this in August, there is the possibility of a prerelease movie to screen, or those that are interested could stay and watch LOTR which will be out around then. My...

Actually - the first G4s were based on the old "yosemite" logic boards from blue and whites - the addition of the G4 processor made it an entirely new machine - codenamed "yikes". "Sawtooth" came shortly after that - with a redesigned motherboard to take advantage of the G4 processor - it also...

Thanks Vince - When I checked back, I saw that the buddy I had bought this from had cranked the bass up HUGE! I brought it down to normal levels and the tests went much smoother. I like rumble, but I'm really after the way it was mastered on the disc. If it wasn't intended to shake my...

I've been working on it more this evening. An example of my confusion would be the front right channel - I adjust the output level up and down (even took it to -15db) and it still registers as 86db on the SPL meter. It's all bass coming off of the SVS. With the sub turned on I am setting...

I'm calibrating my new equipment using AVIA and had a question. Should I have the amp/SVS turned on when setting 85db on my small satellite speakers? There is obviously a HUGE difference in sound levels. It seemed to reach the 85db too fast with the sub turned on, but with it turned off I really...

Last summer Greg Shanes of Richmond hosted a meet. Several people attended. And it was good. I have since moved to Fredericksburg and I am contemplating a meet in August. I'm just trying to gauge interest at this time. So - anybody interested in getting together? I now have a system that...

I too just returned from making the pilgrimage to the midnite showing. I went with my wife, our 3 young children (4,5, and 8) as well as one of my best friends. The kids loved it as did my wife and I. Mark - my friend hated it. He talked about predictability and plot and ... I don't understand...

This is a 3 connector component cable? Pardon the ignorance - I'm just getting into the realm of component cables. I am buying a Mits widescreen and Panny RP-91 - I need a cable to make em play nice together. Is this it? John

1. Toy Story - Ultimate Toy Box - transfer and sound - fun too 2. Saving Private Ryan - Picture and sound - go to Omaha Beach 3. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - Just Because!

Saving Private Ryan is gone. Thanks Grant for the trade. Anyone else interested?

I've not done trades before - just buying and selling. I'm not on the GTL - yet! But John Gates and Greg Shanes (other Virginia guys!) know me personally and can vouch for me. My email address is [email protected]. Anyway - I have the following for trade: DTS Demo # 5 Fox Demo Disc #1 (from Best...

Brandon, I was not meaning to imply that your comment was flamebait, but rather that Jeff's original post smelled like flamebait. I was not wanting to push Jeff away if he actually is serious in his inquiry. I actually bought Bose as my first speakers about 10 years ago. At the time, I...

I don't know - kinda looks like flamebait to me!!;)

Do any of you remember the trailer for Aliens 3 that ran on the front of the theatrical release for Point Break? Very ominously it announced that this time they're coming to earth. That would've been a fun concept to explore! Too bad it never panned out.

I was thinking back, and in The Breakfast Club, Ally Sheedy's character is never addressed by any name except in the credits (as Allison Reynolds according to IMDB) . I grew up in the 80's, so you'll have to excuse my reference to such common pop culture.

doing the official "me too" post! Thanks!! John

AndrewR - I am VERY interested in one of the Fox Demo DVDs. Will you take trade? Please contact me off-list at [email protected] . Thanks a bunch. I went to BB on Friday morning, but they werre all gone already. John

I'm in Fredericksburg, but I would travel to DC for a meet. Several of the guys in Richmond might be interested as well. Let me know... ------------------

Actually -to follow up on Kevin's comment - Don't hang out whith HTF members that have larger budgets than yours, either. I have this friend, a Mr. John Gates (he introduced me to this forum) who can attest that I was perfectly content with my Home Theater UNTIL he bought his!! Now I MUST spend...

So the big question for me now is what do I do with my Ridley Scott autographed snapper case Director's Cut when I buy the new one? ------------------

OK - does anyone have any other suggestions for me as to where I might sell them? ------------------
