SteveCoug, Have you calculated the brightness of your screen/pj setup? If it is overly bright (20+ ft-lamberts) then you are more likely to see the rainbows. The brightness is a function of lumen output, 600 (assume you are on low power due to the extremely loud fan on hi), screen gain and...

The Model B with CSR (controlled screen return) would be a good choice and not break the bank. Mine is 80" wide which gives a 92" diagonal. Keep in mind there is extra material for a black border around the screen, check the Da-Lite website for overall dimensions. My guess would be that the 80"...

Bill, You may want to take a closer look at the Samsung specs on the HDTV tuner, nowhere could I find any mention of DVI output. I know 7E4 lists it, but check the link directly to Samsung, they only list component, s-video and composite for video connections. If it did have DVI I would have...

Anthony, Especially considering your stated requirements of affordability and mainly dvd viewing, you should check out the InFocus SP4805, should fit both of your needs quite nicely. I'm about to pull the trigger on this myself and have the exact same requirements as you do, affordable and...

I too have been strongly considering the 4805 for my first projector. Just a word of caution to those of you looking for the best price, InFocus only authorizes a few etailers to sell the screenplay line on the web, and they are serious about not honoring warranty if bought from an unauthorized...

Well, I'm a couple hours ahead of you so I've had time to clear mine up! Been there, done that. ;) Tom

TimF Look a little closer, the 4th column, right after the diameter in inches, indicates the wall thickness. Looks like 1/4 inch for the 6 ply, up to 9/16 inch for 12 ply. These do look very interesting!! Tom

Aaron, Please post your findings on the DB830. I have that receiver as well and have always had it in the 8 ohm position, but since I really don't push it hard at all if I could switch it to the 4 ohm setting and get less heat output that would be beneficial as I have a somewhat enclosed...

Also check out Bettercables.com. There may even be a banner advertisement in this forum (I know they are in others withing HTF). I have several of their older offerings and feel they are comparable to much more costly cables. Even after 2 years the color on my Sony 32 inch direct view is...

Ryan, I am in a similar situation right now myself, except the timing is very good financially for me right now. I too am wondering if it would be a good idea to pick up a 5ES before they are gone. Anyone else want to comment on how the 4ES compares to the 5ES? BTW, my plan would be to...

Luis, I think what Sebastien is saying is there is no difference in the bass signal being processed by the receiver. Unless you have some extremely good full-range speakers and/or a weak sub you should "hear" a difference because the sub should be more efficient at processing the "same" bass...

Steve, If you think you could use more power, MCM Electronics has a 350w plate amp that is virtually identical to the PE plate amp except for power, of course, plus it has remote control for the volume and crossover. I am using it with my SVS 20-39CS+ with great results. Still needing to get...

Jim J, Will do. In the meantime, you might browse through this thread on the same topic, I think the amp I have is almost identical to Stryke Audio's AMP-350 and the P-E 350w amp. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=61552 You asked where I put the amp. I built a "very" temporary...

Jim J, Tom V turned me on to the 375w MCM amp that he mentioned to you and I feel it has plenty of power for my CS+. The first one I had ended up being defective but it was promptly and courteously replaced by MCM. My only question with this amp is that apparently, from other threads, it...

Did I just not see it on the GR Research website, or are the cabinet dimensions for the AV1+'s not listed? I really like these speakers but my space is limited. TIA Tom R

Oops, Meant to include GaryMore in my reply. Tom

TV, You recently referred me to MCM for a 350 watt plate amp, part number is 50-6282. Price is listed as $189 but you could get 10% off referencing coupon code OC24. If that one has expired, I think there is a 5% coupon, code OC27. I have seen elsewhere in the forum where this amp puts out...

JonWB, Many thanks for the links you provided. Although I still haven't found anything exactly like what I have, we are getting close enough for me to have some confidence of what to do to get rid of the boost. My amp is extremely similar to the Apex Senior and Stryke 350. The only...

David, Yes, the LED stays green all the time unless unplugged when of course it goes dark. The only time it was red was when I plugged it in for the first time (I had made sure the switch was in the off position first). Since then I have never seen the LED red again. I think I'm sending...

Kenny, I'm not familiar with your old sub, but give it some time for your ears to get used to the clean bass the SVS produces. At first I had some similar feelings, but as I listened carefully I started hearing nuances that enhanced the overall sound of my system. My ears had gotten so used...

Thanks Dave, I hadn't thought of it in the terms you bring forth. Hopefully I'll be able to check into it this weekend. The other issue I have is that the power switch (off-auto-on) seems to be on full time no matter what position the switch is in. I may send it back for replacement before...

TommP and Saurav, Thanks for your replies. I'll look into my amp soon to see what there is. My concern is that my amp is a little higher power than the ones being talked about, 350w @ 4 ohms vs. 250w, so it probably has different capacitors. Too bad we can't trust MCM's tech support. It...

Jeremy, I sent an email to Erik last night and of course he responded quickly (you come to expect that with SVS!) that they had determined during the final checkout that there was a problem with the driver of the B-stock I had ordered and they were waiting for another one to come in which would...

Jeremy! I think you got my B-stock 20-39CS+ !!!!!!!!!!!!:angry: :angry: Ordered mine 10 days ago, asked Erik to hold it until 3/21 as we were going on vacation, and come back to find out there is no shipping notice, just a generic email from Erik that some components were on backorder and the...

James, What's life without hope?? Good luck, and may the SVS gods smile down on you! :D
