    Powered tower as my center channel?

    I have an opportunity to use a matching powered tower as my center channel speaker. Is this a good idea? It is the same tower I have as my left and right front channel speakers. All three towers fit perfectly under my screen. But is it a good idea to use a full range tower as a center? They...

    What size/gain screen for NEC LT150?

    Thank you Huey and Greg. Huey, So you suggest a 4:3 screen rather than 16:9. I know the native of this projector is 4:3, but if it's primary use is going to be prog DVD, then wouldn't it be better to go with a 16:9 screen? Or do I not know what the heck I'm talking about at all? I'm...

    What size/gain screen for NEC LT150?

    I'm a little confused. What is the difference between an 80" x 45" and a 80" x 60" screen as far as how a widescreen presentation in 2:35 or 1:85 will look? Using a Panasonic rp56 prog DVD player to view material. Maybe I should just ask which screen would be used for what purpose? Ex: 80"...

    What size/gain screen for NEC LT150?

    Ok. I bought the NEC LT150 for my Dad (xmas gift). Now what screen would be best to use with this projector? Please be specific....how much gain or what size. He'll be approximately 11 feet from the screen. You think an 8 foot diagnol screen would be too big? I think I read or heard...

    Best projector for around $2500 delivered?

    Charles, I believe there is a conversion plug that converts an RGB to a component video plug. I've heard that it has absolutley no effect on picture quality as far as loss or degradation. I'm not sure if the "conversion plug" comes with the LT150. Anybody know? I haven't seen the lt150...

    Best projector for around $2500 delivered?

    The subject says it all. It's a Christmas gift for my Dad. I was think of buying him a Toshiba 57hx81 tv until I noticed that some decent projectors can be had for the same price. Any suggestions? I'm gearing more towards LCD since it's less of a set up for him and I don't really want to go...

    Ruined the SHREK case trying to remove "Instant Win Card"

    I didn't even peel mine. I just rubbed it completely out with Goo Gone. Not one spot of residue left.

    Wish you were here

    You're right guys. The CD I saw was "GOD BLESS AMERICA - VARIOUS ARTISTS" not "Tribute to Heroes". "Tribute" hasn't been released yet but I heard it was supposed to be released on October 16th. Nobody knows anything yet and I can't find any info on it. For now...If anyone's interested, you...

    Beastmaster

    I found that easter egg....man I love Tanya, she is amazing. Oh and I didn't pay $12.99 for BEASTMASTER, it was 14.99, sorry, confused it with BOOGEYMEN which I paid $12.99 for.

    Wish you were here

    A "Tribute to Heros" featured Johnny Reznik and Fred Durst singing a rendition of Floyd's "Wish you were here". In no way does it come close to Floyd, but it was still a good rendition and I can't find it anywhere. It's not on the "Tribute" CD. I downloaded the song from KAZAA.com but I want...

    Beastmaster

    I had no idea this DVD was even out. I picked it up on Tuesday and I finally watched it last night....I have not seen this movie since I was about 10 years old (I think it came out in 1982)....and what a treat it was. It reminded of being a kid again....this is a great hobby we have. And get...

    2 channel audio set up

    Thank you all for the suggestions. Using my Lexicon is not an option as the theater is in a different part of the house. 2 speakers, a pre/pro, and an amp is what I'm looking for. I love tubed amps but they go beyond my budget. Maybe I'll put this system together a bit at a time. Thanks again.

    2 channel audio set up

    I'm looking to purchase a 2 channel audio setup for my living room. My budget is around $5,000 and I'm looking for a pre/pro and amp or receiver, and 2 speakers. I'm using a turntable and cd player as sources. Again, this is for 2 channel music only. I already have the HT base covered. My...

    Sony or Sanyo?

    In the $4000 range, should I purchase a Sanyo PLV-60HT or a Sony VW10HT? Is there a better projector than these in this price range? Anyone have experience with either of these and can make a recomendation? Also, what screen would be best for use with either of these LCD projectors, to bring...

    Your favorite Mobster / Mafia character on dvd

    James Conway (DeNiro) from GOODFELLAS. And Tommy DeVito (Pesci) also from GOODFELLAS. It's a little too real at times. Bullet Tooth Tony (Vinne Jones) from SNATCH deserves an honorable mention just because he's a cool mofo' and an underrated actor.

    Denon 3802 and sep. amp for towers

    Hello everyone. This is my first post, though I've been reading on here for months. Anyway, I'm using a Denon 3802 receiver with a Denon poa 5200 amp for my front towers. The 3802 is rated at 110 watts x 7 channels, and the 5200 amp is rated at 120 watts x 2. Do I need to calibrate my system...
