I have Alpha 20s as my mains and front/rear centers. I have always been very happy with them. Driving them with a Yammy 2400. I would also look elsewhere for the problem.

The West Wing. Never seen an episode, but what a great show.

When it comes to The Beautiful South I must honestly say that nothing really surprises me. Thanks for the heads up!

Does anyone know if The Housemartins or The Beautiful South have released anything in DVD-A? I haven't seen anything. Are there any other bands out there with a similar sound that have? I know the Barenaked Ladies have one that is available, but what about their older stuff?

jacob, I can appreciate where you are coming from. I have a three year old daughter who loves watching movies with her dad, but I will not take her to see Shrek 2. My wife and I let her watch Shrek with us a couple of times and we found ourselves saying things like, "They're not talking very...

In our arrangement the host provides the snacks and drinks. Everyone ends up hosting so it all evens out in the end. There is really no reason why it couldn't be BYOB though.

Thanks for all of the input. I have actually purchased all three movies now, but have not listened to all of them yet. It looks like M&C will be my choice. As to the pyramid scheme, I don't actually think it is illegal because everyone must win once before we go through the cycle again. When...

It's based on the clothing parties my wife goes to. A group of my friends and I meet once a month. It costs $20 a month to be in the group. At the end of each meeting we draw a name and that person gets the cash. The deal is they must spend the money on DVDs and host the next month's...

Thanks for the input on the DSP modes everyone. Many of my questions have been answered here, and I have also had a chance to play with the modes a bit.:) Muneeb - how do you listen to 6.1 in straight mode? I though straight meant that there was no processing done. In order to engage the EX...

I am a part of a DVD "splurge" group. It is my turn to host this month and I have used my winnings to purchase Master and Commander , The Last Samurai , and The Return of the King . I do not have time to preview all of these movies before our meeting and I was wondering if anyone can tell me...

I have a Yamaha RX-V2400 (7.1) receiver, but I only have 6.1 speakers hooked up. Are there any advantages to using PLIIx instead of EX to decode the rear center channel. I have read the thread but I am still a little confused on this particular issue. (Sorry):b

Aaron, Thanks for the info. It is exactly what I was looking for. As usual when I do any reading about my HT I feel better informed and even more confused:D As always I'll just have to trust my own ears on each movie, but it is nice to see that other people have wondered about this topic too.

OK, So if THX processing on a receiver lessens the treble, does that mean that a DVD that has been mastered to strict THX standards has already been re-equalized for a home environment, or does it mean that it has been left as it was in the theater so that when THX processing is applied you...

Thanks for the link, but that was actually the first place I looked. I guess what I'm asking wondering is what are people's opinions on the re-equalizing that THX mode offers? Does it actually do what it claims (correcting the sound) or is it more like a DSP? I found that on Attack of the...

On my reciever I can select DD, DTS, DD-EX, or DTS-ES and then if I hit the THX button it will say DD-EX + THX, etc. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to this. Is it just another form of DSP? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. I never even thought to look on the DTS website for info on Neo6.:b So what are the general thoughts on PLIIx vs. Neo6 for music? I haven't had much time to play yet. What do people think? And can anyone tell me about the THX mode? Is it mainly meant for THX DVDs?

A few days ago I brought home a new Yamaha RX-V2400 to replace my dying reciever (which I won't rant about here). I am very impressed with it, but have some questions regarding the sound processing, which is new to me since my old receiver did not have DSP. I realize that most of the DSP...

I am looking at this set but have read on another forum of people having a problem with a horizontal twitch when viewing HD signals. Has anyone here noticed that problem?

I also like the way my HK sounds with my Infinity Alpha speakers. There has been some discussion about build quality of the HKs on this site so you may want to check that out.

Hasn't anyone seen this happen before? The locks on my van, motor on my treadmill, docking station for my camera, heater on my fishtank, and the DVD I bought last weekend have all broke in the last two weeks.:angry: Now with this I am thinking I am completely jinxed. Please tell me that I am...

My AVR 100 is about 5 years old and I have always been very happy with the sound. However, this morning I turned on my TV and the sound immediatly began cutting in and out at about 2 second intervals. At first I thought it was the satelite receiver which is connected to the AVR using analog...

Not necessarily in this order. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles There's Something About Mary Lawrence of Arabia Matrix It's a Wonderful Life Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi Godfather Ronin The Mummy

Actually I noticed the Dino thing as well. Even when you take into account the change in production/broadcast order, Dino is definately seen and mentioned by name in episode 4 (production episode 6). This is well before episode 18 (as listed on the trivia section of the box). I was wondering if...

I use Alpha 20s across the front of my HT. I am very impressed with them. They are amazingly detailed and Infinity speakers have a reputation as being very "flat". I chose the 20s more for budgetary reasons than anything else, but I have heard of others who actually prefer the 20s to the 50s...

I keep hoping the Barenaked Ladies will release a concert DVD. I know there is a video collection, but after seeing a concert on PPV I would like to have the concert so I can see the band interacting live. They are very funny. I am also constantly disappointed that there never seems to be any...

I agree. I bought season seven first thinking that most of the great episodes were from the last year. I was sure surprised by the number of duds. I guess I blocked them out of my memory. I think I have enjoyed every single episode of season 6 though. Maybe I saw many of the season 6 epsiodes...

Just watched this episode as I make my way through Season 6. This is the episode where they find the message from a previously existing life form which has been encoded on DNA from the various species around the galaxy. I have only ever seen it once, but it has always stuck with me as being one...

Wow! I used to think I was at least a little bit with it, but now I find out that the Pixies are playing 1 1/2 hours from my house and this is the first I've heard of it. I guess that's what a job, a wife, and two kids will do to you.;) I'd say it's really too bad that the tickets are sold...

I just finished season one a few weeks ago as well. I had to hold off on season 2 because my wife and I were finding it impossible to stop watching it (and our baby and toddler were not very accomodating in letting us sleep in).:) The only problem now is that I wish I hadn't been watching season...

Lance, Did you check Edmonton and Calgary? On *Choice it came on at 10:00 my time. All the others had it on at 7:00.
