Hi, I have narrowed my HT upgrade to the following receivers. I currently have an HK AVR5550 (7x75watt) which I want to upgrade. Both receivers would use the manufactures DVD players Denon AVR-3806 using DVD-1920 DVD Player Power Output; Watts Per Channel 120, features include...
Well Ive finally made the decision to sell my projector, in view to going travelling around the world for a few years and by the time I get back the projector will be outdated. Im thinking of going for plasma next time, as when I get back my new place my not be able to handle a projector etc.
Chris Brock: Ive since purchased some new curtains with blockout backings. Without this I would have to wait until the early evening before watching. Now I can watch it anytime during the day. Actually Im thinking of upgrading my AE500 to the AE700.
Ron-P: AE500 is fantastic, I run pretty much everything in low mode as I find the only need for high is if the movie is extremely dark. If I had the choice all over again I would still go for the AE500, absolutly great! What size room are you putting your projector to be in?
BrianKR, I must say your room is very impressive! I love what you have done with the lighting on the top of your curtains and ofcourse the speakers look great and really offset the room adding to it the white chairs & sofa give the room a nice contrast. :)
David, Good idea. Only one problem with screen almost going right to the top of the ceiling it mite cause a problem. However I will have a think about it. Thanks!
Tod: Thanks, I am planning on heading down to the nursery this weekend to check out a few things. Also I was either thinking some movie posters in nice frames or some art on the wall. Im trying to keep a very trendy looking room :)
I have the Panasonic AE-500, excellent picture quality. Very happy with it for the price. Sony I used to love however I find they are overpriced for what you get.
BrianKR: Thanks dude, I see other peoples and think now what else can I add to mine! ehehe.... WOW, now yours is very impressive. Sexy B&W Speakers uh. I was thinking of upgrading to those. Alittle pricey for me at the time. Your seats look very nice and comfy. Excellent job.
Drew, thanks for the info. Ive now placed everything back to normal as showen in picture 2. I will just play around with the sub when I get my Dolby Digital & DTS Demo DVD. I found the speakers sounded good on the sides, however did not give a full range surround feeling. Anyway its...
Chris: thanks for the idea. As I say I love posting on here becuase with everyones help it betters all our HT rooms. I will do some testing. Im also waiting on my Dolby & DTS Demo DVD to do some testing.
howdy, Picture 2, is how I had it setup. However I found the subwoofer was not pushing out alot of bass. It is a 2x10" subwoofer. **Please note this is an old pic with my 68cm tv. I used to have it in the corner or close to it; now with my new projector screen I cannot do that...
Howdy, Im testing at the moment running my front speakers on there side as this means with my room size I can put my subwoofer in the corner which has totally increased the bass responce. I will post a pic later this afternoon; however I was wondering if anyone has every tried this before...
Ron-P - Thanks I will consider it, at the moment Im just going to kick back and enjoy it for awhile. Glenise - I like just the surrounding still keeps my room nice and neat.
