My ideal set with which to enjoy Atmos soundtracks would be, first, located in a dedicated home theater room so my wife doesn't mind the "extra" speakers! I'm getting by with my old Outlaw 1050 and 5.1 for now so this would certainly be a welcome upgrade (and an excuse to set up that dedicated...
Atmos would be a huge jump forward for my home theater since I am still watching (and enjoying!) movies using the "latest" early-2000s technology. I'd love to have an excuse to spend some time experimenting to find the best configuration.
I'm currently using an early-2000s era Outlaw 1050 to reproduce the movie soundtracks that my family and I enjoy. The quality of the audio produced is still great after all these years but connectivity is the biggest issue for me. There's no HDMI on that old receiver so I've had to invest in a...

Jeff, The text is a little small to read easily. The text on the bottom appears to be a copyright/trademark notice for the logo and scrolling feature of the watches. I was able to make out the english words [METRO DELIGHT]. When I Googled ["metro delight" watches], I came up with a single...
todd s, I posted this in another thread, but I'll put it here with some additions: I was sceptical of Apple and the iPod so when I started looking at the various MP3 player offerings, I did a LOT of research into other alternatives. After speaking with coworkers who have different players...
My wife and I keep separate accounts - it was just easier to do that than consolidate everything into a single checking and savings account. But, we handle our household budget as a single item. My wife is really great at organizing (we call her "The Spreadsheet Queen") and not long after we...
I was sceptical of Apple and the iPod so when I started looking at the various MP3 player offerings, I did a LOT of research into other alternatives. After speaking with coworkers who have different players I found that my decision didn't get much easier. There are pros and cons for each...
My wife and I drove from LV to the Canyon on our honeymoon. We left at about noon and arrived at the Canyon about 3 or 4 hours later (I don't remember exactly how long it took). It was an easy drive - probably only three or four turns the whole way. The scenery is pretty amazing and it's well...
Don't be a scumbag...pay the rent. You signed a lease contract in which you agreed to pay the rent. At least explain your situation to the apartment manager/owner. I don't own any rental properties, but I have friends who have in the past or do now and they rely on the rent paid in order to...
I've been a Netflix user for over 3 years. I used to live in an apartment complex where I think our regular mailman caught on to the fact that he could pick up some free DVDs if he just grabbed those pretty red mailers. I'm not accusing the US Postal Service of illegal activities here...this...
Carl, That's a great site. I was going to point that out, but I figured that anyone doing any research on the web would eventually run across Zen Garden. The diversity of interpretation and display of the same content is really amazing.
Joe, I am a web programmer by day (using mostly PHP, MySQL, Linux, etc) - not a web designer per se, although I end up designing the majority of the "look and feel" of my company's internal web applications just because there's no one else to do that sort of stuff! Anyway, I used to rely on...
I'd have to go with the P-38 as the coolest Allied fighter. It's just such an unusual form! Something about the double tail and the little cockpit "pod" just appeals to me. I guess I have a thing for "double tails" because I the B-24 was definitely my favorite WWII bomber!
Joshua, I may be able to offer some assistance as well. I work with this type of stuff all day. The only issue may be the amount of time it takes for me to get it done. Let me know the details and we'll go from there.
I have to admit, I haven't read through all the posts in this thread - it has gotten too big - but here's my list: Brazil - finally rented the DVD after hearing so many good things about it. I guess it wasn't what I was expecting and I drifted off to sleep a couple of times. Moulin Rouge -...
I've been noticing something over the past six weeks or so on my JVC 32D302 tube TV. I'll do my best to describe the issue: Whenever a scene comes on with a lot of white color near the top of the screen (a landscape shot where the ground is dark and the sky is very light, for example)...
Once passed a woman in her early 20s driving a HUGE SUV. As I pulled up along side her vehicle, I looked up to see... ...she was holding her cell phone to her ear with one hand while putting makeup on with the other. She must have been using her knees to steer - which is kind of scary at 65...
Thanks for your input MatthewK and Brian! I played around with the placement of the speaker last night after I posted my last message. I noticed that the interference became less as I moved the speaker further back from the front edge of the TV, but not all the way to the back of the cabinet...
My N Center II arrived today from Onecall. I excitedly unpacked it and set it up on top of my TV. The first thing I noticed was a little blue tinge on the top of the screen just below where each driver is located! drats! Just what I feared! I moved the speaker towards the back of the TV a...
Never had a problem with my Archetype 5.0 and it's been through a move as well as being rolled around (I have casters on the bottom of each leg to facilitate easier access to the back of my components) quite a bit. I picked up mine from Audio Advisor, too! If I remember correctly, the...
I'm free! My Wednesdays are finally free from having to watch this show! My wife and I have been regular viewers of "The Creek" since the very first episode - back then she was just my girlfriend! It was a bittersweet ending to a long journey. I thought for sure Joey would pick Dawson. I was...
I've been looking for a low cost center channel and I was checking out the JBL N Center reviews on Audioreview.com. I saw that several people posted that they encountered some problems with the video shielding on the N Centers. I'm going to be placing whatever center channel I decide on atop...
I loved this film when I saw it in the theater. I bought the extended version Laserdisc back in '96. I liked it even more with the extra scenes. I'm buying this on DVD when it's released!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I received my re-edging kit from www.speakerrepair.com on Monday. The directions were easy to follow and I finished the final steps last evening (after waiting the recommended amount of time for the glue to dry, etc). Everything looks great - better than...
