George, When are we going to see you on "Cops" ? I haven't seen Batman or WOTW yet but I did see Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Its a great remake, very enjoyable. Life outside of HT:eek: Do not speak such blasphamy ! You mean I have to come up out of the basement, be sociable and...
Those room treatments should help. Getting them cheap is always good. I made my own and they seem to work pretty well and fit in with the room. For now all I have is a futon and a few chairs. I am hoping to get some Berkline 088 leather chairs. Maybe 8. I am not sure if 4 will fit on my...
Hey Mike, The dark red should look good. I used red from Home Depot called Rapture Red. It took 4-5 coats to get it to look right. It sounds like you need to move up to the PC-Ultra with the built in EQ.:D I did have the amp in mine partially fail. But an email to tech support, a...
Mike, I have all my stuff in the basement. I get pretty good sound. I did use 5/8 drywall, acoustic ceiling tiles--black of course--, fairly high end carpet and pad. But the Ultra still rattles everything just fine firing into the concrete floor. Are you really going to paint the whole...
George, I haven't even found out the "real" prices of what I am buying only MSRP. I am basing my budget on the MSRP. When I get the prices for the stuff I can hopefully buy I will PM you with all the details. I think Mike may beat me. I pulled one or two of those answers out of my...
Hey George, I am fine and everything is taken care of thanks. It looks like Scott and I missed a good time. I was measuring my front wall for a 103" or 110" Silverstar last night. My ceilings are not quite 7' so the 110" takes up a lot of wall space. Maybe the 103" is the way to go...
George, I have a family emergency to take care of so I will not be able to attend this Sat. I am not sure if Scott will attend of not. I will give him the directions in case he still planning on going. I have to catch you guys next time. thanks Kip
George, Scott and I should be there b/t 3 and 4. Pizza sausage and pepperoni DVD-RW will be fine I have the 1910. It only upconverts through DVI but the 2910 has both HDMI and DVI. No upconvert through component as it is not have HDCP. Doesn't Infocus use their own connector type...
George, Scott and I are in. I can pick up the audio visions guys on my way there :D Is there going to be enought room for everyone? I count 9 people. Where are the dogs going to sit? Don't forget to keep the remote control away from me-- remember what happened last time? :b Kip
George, I 'll check with Scott to see if he is interested. I am a maybe at this point. Too many family things going on to give a definitive answer at this point. Am I eligible for the screenshot contest since I won last time ? :D Kip
I already have an HD ready tv so when I buy a projector it will be an HD2+ or DC3 chip. I am waiting for Direct TV to add more HD channels. They are moving to MPEG-4 video soon so I will wait until then to buy new toys. I have aleady done 1 bathroom project and I know the other will come soon...
Hey George, No upgrades yet, I am still trying to finish up my basement while working on other home projects. How do you like the 4805 compared to the Scott's 8700? Its obviously a step up from the X1. Kip
I got the hint--I will have one but not yet I am almost done with my room. I read about the new BenQ PE7700 HD2+ $3300 street price I might be able to swing that in a few months--it isn't going to be out until March and I would like to see a few reviews. If I have a meet you need to...
who is the lucky soul who gets to host it? I don't think we can cram 20 people in George's family room--the dogs would no place drool. Now if everyone wants to donate large sums of cash to the "Kip needs a projector and screen fund" I could host it. :D
what meet ? I have a funny tidbit from this weekend. I was in the media room in the basement playing some demos for friends. Upstairs my wife was having a get together with 8-10 other women. I put in The Haunting as the first demo. After the first pounding on the door stopping. I hear a...
piping a trench--sounds about as much fun as I had on Friday my waterheater died so most of Friday was spent buying a new water heater and all associated parts. My parents were over on Thursday night. I played the Haunting for them. They were both very impressed. My dad is 99% of the time...
I haven't really tried it out with music. I played 1 or 2 cds last night. From my limited listening it sounded great to me. I will be trying out a variety of music. rock, classic, rap, new age, jazz etc etc maybe tonight or this weekend. Kip
I wasn't really trying to find the limits--it just happened. I turned the sub channel on my receiver up too many notches. It only happened with Cavalcade trailer. Now I can spend hours tweaking so I can get the most out of it for my room. I think I'll need to bribe Scott for some help as he is...
unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to be "sick" today--it must be the whole I want to continue to get a paycheck thing. first impressions-- it sucks worse than George's PB2 :D I tested to see how far I can push it and I found it. The only place I bottomed it was the THX Cavalcade...
the Ultra has landed :emoji_thumbsup: and I am stuck at work:angry: I ordered it Monday morning--I didn't expect it less than 2 days later--not that I am complaining. now if I can just win the mega-millions my day will be complete. I'll try to post my impressions tomorrow, if I am...
Well I finally got off my lazy butt and joined the HTF. Not trying to steal Ferdinand's moment of glory with his new toy but I getting ready to order my own SVS. I am looking at the PC-Ultra. Hopefully it won't sound as crappy as George's PB2.. ;);) Anyone have a suggestion for a...
