    I am considering the new ae7000u, but wanted some feedback on the powered lens memory. Has anyone "stretched" an anamorphic movie with it and what are your opinions. I had a salesman say the quality is affected. Thx in advance

    Nick after looking at exact measurements and reading Jason's post, you need to decide what is more important tv and furniture set up or sound. Then you can work on speaker setup.

    Ideas wanted! Starting new media room soon

    I have 4 towers. My plan was to run one lfe to the sub and split the other to the front 2 towers. I also could run the back 2 off of the sub as slaves. Would you just hook up the 4 towers with no sub? I will probably pre-wire for 2 subs anyway if I don't like the sound. If I did that do you...

    Ideas wanted! Starting new media room soon

    If I prewire for a projector, should I go ahead and run the hdmi or just get some 3" conduit and try to snake it when I actually do it when/if I ever get a projector? (my thinking is the upgrades in cables change yearly) Thanks again!
