@Martino: lol, probably one of the positive things to old subwoofers. Not a lot of gadgets on those things. It's doesn't have an "auto on" On the other hand... That also results in increased power usage! :rolleyes:

Tom Lowe (producer) made that choice, and IMO made this movie future proof. Also the fact that a large portion of the film is made with a Canon 5D II, - and the images are 5616 x 3744 (21.0 MP) so much larger than needed. But if anyone has 2K resolution, try it in comparison with the 1080p...

If anyone is interested in 4K movies. (or just a very beautiful 2K or 1080p movie) TimeScapes. Just bought the Blue-ray version, and it looks A-ma-zing! The size is a little disturbing though 4096 x 2304, 140Gb, 12-bit, hard drive TimeScapes ------ (@admin/mod's: didn't quite know in what...

Thanks, very informative. I'm learning as i go along! yes, i thought as much, during my first calibration i forgot to turn down the SW volume (was 100%) and the result was a setting of -18dB. second calibration was with the volume knob turned to half & now a result of -6dB But i do think i'll...

I ran MCACC with the SW volume turned half way. the system then saved the SW to -6dB (so still to loud (for the system)) So i could try to calibrate with the volume to only 20%. This SW does not have a Cross-over dial. But the standard system settings where 80hz. Is my reasoning correct?: My...

How can i determine if the ?cross-over frequency? settings are wrong or if my subwoofer is not enough for my system? In my previous system/setup my subwoofer was to loud. so, for my new system they advised me to keep my subwoofer (and if needed, it could be changed in the future) Receiver...

I've always preferred Bookshelves, easier to tuck away on top of a bookcase or screw in the top corner of a room. Strange, I would have suspected it would be preferred to get all from the same Co. i.e. Speakers from company X aren't the best around at lower freq. ranges. But they calibrated...

We moved to tv to the center of that wall to test for a few days. (fingers crossed) Today i will try to look around for a new receiver. should i look around for a kit? (receiver + speakers) Or keep my current speakers?

All i want is to get a pleasant experience for everyone. I understand that it is impossible to get optimal conditions in this situation. (now person A hears 70% left speaker , person B 80% right) A- There is a radiator against that wall. the couch has a full backside (closed from the bottom up...

i'm kinda interested in the AVR-1713 because of the location/calibration via smartphone. Is this worth the extra money? The AVR-21xx seems overkill with it's 7.1! Since i'm probably gonna use 3.1 not even gonna use 5.1. Will my current speakers be enough? ---------------------------------...

Don't really have a budget. i'll buy what gets the job done. (reasonably priced of course.. no $ 3000 receiver for a simple living room) :rolleyes: My problem is that a new receiver wont fix the fact that there are 2 seats (hope the image comes through) So one person would need the left...

i upgraded my profile, the speakers i have are the once that came with the receiver (kenwood): 5x KS-205ht - 100W SW-39ht - 70w (but I'm not using the 2rear because i don't know how to calibrate it in this room) I was thinking about possibly getting a receiver+Blue ray...

Hi everyone I just moved and re-installed my old system. Due to the characteristics of the living room my old system isn't working to good. and due to it's age and everything connected to it I could really use some help, or some hints on what I should buy as an upgrade. --------- 47" Philips tv...
