    ??? EVO DFS or Diamond 8 DFS ???

    I have EVO DFS and the Diamond 8.4 towers. They sound great to me. I'm not sure what the difference between the DIAMOND and EVO DFS speakers are though. You may want to call Wharfedale and ask, because they might be the same speaker.

    SVS 25-31CS vs PB10-ISD

    No, by certainly no means am I all that concerned about the 11-13% difference. However, if the CS will be the better bet in the long run, (and I'm partial to the cylinders) I was wondering which would be the better bet.

    Thanks Ron! Good to know these things... I appreciate it!

    SVS 25-31CS vs PB10-ISD

    Thanks for the info all..... I'll send an email to Tom and see what he thinks. The concern at the moment is the total cost, as the more expensive (and heavy) PB-10 will put me over my spending limit. If I can get by for a while using an old amp (Pioneer 100W), then eventually buy a more powerful...

    SVS 25-31CS vs PB10-ISD

    Alright, this may be a dumb question, or beating a dead horse, but I'm a noob and looking to upgrade my sub. Right now I'm looking to buy a SVS, and have a question. Which of these two subs would be the better buy? I know the CS ($379) is a passive sub, but I would plan on running it with an...

    $200 Sub Options

    I second that question... right now it's $399 STF-2 and $299 for the STF-1. http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/ Am I missing something?

    wharfedale?

    I ended up getting a screaming deal on Wharfedale Diamond 8's with the DFS surrounds. All I can say is that I love them. Especially the DFS surrounds, they are really an exceptional pair of speakers. The Diamond 9s are supposed to be even better, but if you can find a deal on the 8s, I'd say do it.

    InFocus 4805 + 76"' screen $1,399 at Costco

    I'm with you guys on this one. I just found (and immediately bought) one of the last remaining original X1 projectors from CC for $799. Bought a 92" High Contrast Matte White Deluxe Screen (Da Lite) and two 35' cables and my total cost was well under $1100. I laugh when I go to the local store...

    Wharfedale Diamond 8 Series (8.1, 8.4, 8 Center) vs Infinty Primus brand

    Do a search on this forum. Most people love their Wharfedales...... Same could be said for the Infinity set as well.

    Random "popping" noise from speakers...help!

    Ok, this is going to sound strange, but I had a similar problem and found out this was happening when a large appliance in my house turned on that was on the same breaker. (Sump pump in my basement).

    X1 and Component Lines

    I have recently bought a X1 projector, and at the moment I have it connected to an older Pioneer DVD player (not a progressive-scan player) via a long S-video cable. My Pioneer has component video output (that is how it is connected to my TV) and I was wondering if it would be worth...

    Front projector thoughts...

    I was actually quite amazed by the quality from my front projector (I've had it for 1 week now). The only trade-off is the light issue, but if you have an enclosed room, you shoud be fine.

    Wrinkles in a screen

    Jimi Thanks for the info.... left it overnight with a weight tied to the pull handle..... didn't help much, they're pretty severe creases. Considering it was a free screen, I may try some alternative methods and see what happens. If I can't get them out, I'll probably end up using my wall...

    Wrinkles in a screen

    Ok. I finally pulled the trigger on a Infocus X1. I managed to track down one of the last remaining new X1s in my area. A Circuit City had one for $799 so I drove 75 miles to buy it. And man, oh man... I'm so glad that I did. The quality of the image was impressive, even displayed on my wall. Of...
