I thought my HT was great so far with an older 7.1 system. Ideally adding additional ceiling speakers to immerse my family and friends in a sound rich world that would allow them to experience a virtual reality of extreme proportions. Yup, that would be ideal.

Nothing wrong with the H/K and Klipsch match, what is nice about Klipsch speakers is the small amount of wattage they need to produce amazing sound. This allows you to drop back on the power of the amp and save some dough for the other necessities.

Chris, read all about it Here This should help you get started with HD on over the air antennas. Mac

Hi MarkWC, I recently borrowed one of the LT240K projectors and found it to be a very bright machine. I was using it from about 12 ft from the screen with seating at about 15 ft, so you should have plenty of light at the 20 ft mark. I did notice some dithering, but I was only able to view...

Appreciate all the links, makes shopping so much easier. I guess I better make sure it is :) stain resistant :) Mac aka Jim

The chairs look a little over stuffed and soft. Need to sit in them,before I would purchase. The lazy-boys are about 625.00 each for microfiber, so at those prices you are getting one free. I thought I saw the red version over at a local Sofa Express and they were priced about the same as the...

Rutgar, Yes, black leather and black fabric. I was just recently at a local La-z-boy furniture gallery. The chairs are quite comfortable and I found them a little better than the Berk line and Lane versions.

I have been searching for some theaterish-looking carpet, something with a design, swirls or something, to put in the basement ht. Haven't found too many choices, most dealers only carry "normal" home carpeting. I did find a dark green popcorn/reel design. Anyone having luck finding this type of...

Your audio looks fine, so enjoy the high end of things. The extra features such as HDCP, higher contrast and lumens, pixels for HD, will make for a great show.

I am letting the wife pick the chairs, open wallet and :D

I purchased Punch Home Design Suite for about $59 quite a while ago. Program has a few quirks, but pretty easy to understand and you can throw together a room in a few minutes. You can also add furniture, screens and render the full room view in 3-D, You can fly over or walk through the rooms...

Yes, projector people has some decent prices/free shipping and such. The only thing I noticed was when browsing their link - .http://www.dealtime.com/dealtime2000...0.html?from=sr There were a couple of unhappy campers over at dealtime and only 10 ratings total. Thanks for the input...

Since you only notice it during movies, it is a normal feature of movies that the surrounds are not always used. They will cut out but not dramatically, depends a lot on what the director wanted you to hear. Try running a cd through all channels with a digital processing setting on the amp. If...

Ah, I now understand what true love is. Still looking at bare walls & can't find a contractor that has a clue. But, 2 years does not sound so bad after seeing that room. I needed that inspiration, to continue on my quest. Thanks, Mac

Have been researching front projectors, looks like I will need to purchase on line. Just wondering if anyone has had a good/bad experience from any of the on line sites. Looking for a site with a good return policy, no restocking fee, reasonable prices and just all around good service. Can...
