hurts enough to cause some hearing loss... gotta love that anger management though... we are all just cattle being prodded till we moo our asses off.

I'd say Meadow herself is aware of racial prejudices, doesn't try to deny them, but doesn't exploit them or harbor them as much as some of the others when she says "if you really want to know, it was two african american guys" not two "black guys". At any rate, yes, bravo for this episode...

Munee, one step at a time... Aaron, since you live in houston, if you want to set up a demonstration, just drop me a private message... Charlie, it'll be worth every second that you have to wait. Everybody else, thanks for the positive comments.

the room is 13x14... The equipment is: Denon AVR 4802 Denon DVD 2900 2xParasound HCA1500A (205x2 @ 8ohms, 315x2 @ 4ohms) Special HardDrive powered XBOX :) Canton ERGO 90 Mains B&W CDM CNT Center B&W CDM SNT Surrounds B&W VM1 Surround Back Sony Grand Wega II 65" LCD StraightWire...

actually keith... it sounds great shoeboxed in there... the fit is aesthetically pleasing, but there's just enough room for the sub to breathe... I experimented with pulling the sub out a bit but it was rattling the walls way too much... keep in mind that at Reference levels, I have the gain at...

well, after 3 missed UPS delivery attempts, I finally tracked decided to camp out at UPS and not leave till I had my SVS in the back of my SUV... and now... after over a month of waiting... it's finally here... nice snug and comfy in it's new home... and OMG!!! I think my walls are going to give...

looks comfy... is that a microwave i see? :) oooh... ahhh... popcorn...

RonnieT, based on the flash demonstration, you don't really have preset scenes per say, you have to manually create them by dimming or brightening each relay in series. This is a welcome alternative though, choice is good.

Gary, they will both respond to the same IR signal... so even though each spacer switch comes with it's own remote, you will only use one, or in your case neither with the mx700... so obviously, the x10 has the advantage in terms of control and flexibility.

ok. I'm one of those people that called the x10 stuff junk, but I admit that's harsh... what i meant to say is that they are not built as well as the lutron dimmers and from personal experience the wireless control part of it is extremely slow... that is I'll push a button to turn the lights off...

thank you everyone for the nice comments so far... this project has been amazingly fun... and now it's 95% complete, just need to: clean up a few wires and connections buy these theater chairs (1 row of 3 in front, single cushion sofa in back) put up drapes and acoustic diffusion/absorption...

John Curl who designs the parasound amps is a great amp builder. Don't really need to list some of the stuff he's built, just do a google search on his name... He knows what he's doing and Parasound's goals are to build amps with less of the really expensive exotic stuff that you don't really...

unless you are going to disable passive crossovers in the speakers and add active cross over between soure and amp, i don't think its worth it.
