They are exact in every respect, regardless of what others may say.

Parker, Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize the gallery existed. Also, it has a really sweet upload and edit program. Kudos to the web developers of this forum! So check out my humble theater. Everything was constructed by yours truly. However, it will be someone else's to enjoy as I...

Hey Scott, Where in Canton are you? I'm off Sixes Road in Lake Sovereign (for now). Completed my HT a year ago. Seems to be the latest crave in our area. I'd love to see the finished product if it's okay. You're welcome to visit my HT anytime (preview at AVSforum in gallery). I have the...

Troy, I have the MKIV-12. It has to be the most powerfull sub I have ever heard. I was going to purchase one of the two grand REL models or maybe a Sunfire until I heard this beast. Granted, I use this sub only for HT so I can't provide an opinion as to it's musical abilities. Also, I...

I was actually viewing Monsters, Inc. last night and didn't see the chroma bug. But again, Ive had limited viewing with it. I am hopeful that Sony fixed that problem on their newer machines, especially with the ES line. I will try to run some test flicks and let you know.

Mike, I just plugged in my Sony DVP-CX777ES and it seems to be everything I wanted in a DVD changer. I purchased it for well below MSRP so look around. My primary concern with a large changer is the indexing system. This appears to be a little more complicated than I would like, but again...

Erik, Again, remember the Sony ES line has a 5-year warranty as opposed to the standard one. Also, elegantaudiovideo has the 1000ES for $425, and the HK 320 for $538. Ben

Erik, I just purchased the Sony 1000ES. I know many people are critical of Sony, but I have always had good service out of their products. I really like the 1000ES. It is a very heavy unit, and workmanship seems to be top notch. Very clean with no gimmicky plastic buttons. It seems to have...

Here is a less expensive alternative. I emailed this place (lighttape.com)and they gave me a quick response to a few questions. Also gave me a price of $1.50/foot for the 1/4 inch stuff. Ben 1.) The base lamp is natural/blue color when "illuminated" and a white color when "off" 2.)...

Nathan, Call Andy at projectorshopper.com ([email protected]). The $100 mail-in rebate and extended warranty are available at the Infocus website http://www.infocus.com/x1promo/index...site_region=1& Also, Andy sold me the ceiling mount for $200, and a VGA breakout cable for $30...

Michael, Guess I need to read the instructions! Can't help but ignoring them as I'm an engineer. I'll try to "light-up" the remote tonight! Thanks! Ben

Here is a brief review of the X1 for those considering a DLP: 1. Picture is awesome at any price under $10K. Although the only thing I could compare it to side by side is my Toshiba MT-2, it is clearly a superior picture. The image is also much sharper than what I have seen from the Yamaha...

Thanks Craig & Nick. I ordered the 2ES this morning. Also picked up the SONY HAR-D1000 digital jukebox as it was only $150. Should be an interesting piece of something!

A relative of mine works for Sony and can get me the following at a really good price: Sony STR-DA2ES - $365.00 Sony STR-DA3ES - $415.00 I was wondering which one is the better of the two? Doesn't the DA2ES have more features than the DA3ES? This receiver is to be dedicated to home...

Ted, I have the Earthquake Supernova MKIV-12, and it is absolutely amazing. Far superior to the Sunfire Signature it replaced. I paid $1,500 for mine, but I recently found it for $865, which is an absolute steal. Here is the link: http://www.discount-electronic.com/ Trust me, you will not...
