Jeff, thanks for the info on the 6200. It is interesting that you saw rainbows on the BenQ but not so much on the Sharp. If the black levels really are that bad (I use 3200's at work all the time) then it's not an option at all, rainbows or not. I'm not gonna give up a CRT for LCD-like black levels. The 4:3 vs 16:9 issue I could get around with my HTPC. Too bad I can't get a Matterhorn pj or a closeout NEC HT1000 for less than $2K. Why, oh why does life have to be so hard!!!

I did the first two, and thanks to the couples!
350 HP just lept off the page and caught my attention. I haven't had 350 PURE HP since my 1972 Z28 (last year of Chevy's 4-bolt main bearings, aluminum intake manifold with Holley carb and solid lifters) and of course I had to apply a set of headers. What is this EVO thing? Hopefully not a rice-burner.
Jacob: you might want to rethink your college guy idea. The clientele you need (big disposable income figures) don't necessarily warm up to college age salespeople. I grew up in retail and know a bit about it. No, I'm not looking for a job, just trying to help.
Anyway folks, a nice HT tour and I hope it won't be so long between tours as this past one.

Hank- I have a complete staff except for one salesperson and I'd like them to be a musician/golden ear type with a love of audio equipment. I have the videophiles covered. Age doesn't really matter to me, passion for the product does. My staff currently doesn't have anyone under 30, so having one in the store can't hurt.

Hank:
I worked at Progessive Audio when I was in college (age 22ish, but I looked 16  ) and did quite well selling high-end stuff to the big $$$ folks. I don't think age is an issue so much as demonstrable product knowledge, a passion for A/V, and the willingness to take the time to help.
I think Jacob will do fine with a good young salesperson.

Well actually I have an incredible urge to order one!

| Covering your front wall in fibreglas won't give you a dead room. The overall "deadness" of a room can be assesed in a number of ways, one of which is an RT60 curve. Covering only your front wall will still put you in the mid to upper range of decay time. Now if you did your front wall and a wainscoating, then you'd have a dead room. Plus, with a screen as big as yours, you're not really covering the whole wall, only about half of it. You're still going to get a lot of reflection off that screen once you toe in your speakers for better imaging. The best way to find out is to just experiment. |
Ya just don't see it do ya Johathan?? The better half is not having it, nope, nada, none of it. Period. Thanks for your help on the front wall though.

Hank,
The Evo is the Mitsubishi Evolution 8, it is their Rally car and its a little Rocket ship. So, yes it is an import but it kicks some serious butt. By the way, that 350hp is to the wheels! Be advised, there are 500hp Evo's out there sneaking around, if you pull up next to one at a stop light......best use caution. (Actually I just had a guy with a Mini S challenge me to a drag race!! Told me he's gona spank my azz, he has even added the performance exhaust. Lunch time......) Right off the showroom floor it is capable of doing the 1/4mi in about 13 seconds(some less, some more depending on the driver). Comes stock with 13" Brembo brakes, complete forged Aluminum suspension, large front mounted intercooler, intercooler sprayer, Custom Recaro seats front and back, Advan damn sticky tires, and more. It's a great little car for a super price. One of them happened to just recently place 3rd in the Cannon Ball Run(I just happen to know the owner). The Subaru WRX STI is also in the same league but it doesn't take to well to modifications, motor go boom! 
Dave,
Just wanted to let you know that Gillman down south has a brand new Evo(Yellow)with the small fin like mine for $24,900 right now!!
