*Sold to a buddy*

I'm looking to sell my 16-46 PCi due to my moving into a location that probably wouldn't like it. Packaged with it is a Behringer Feedback Destroyer + needed hookup cables. I also have the product manuals and the box for the BFD (but not the SVS). I'm asking $600 for the total package, but will...

Al, I think they mean Bad Boys II was a sucess compared to most other summer movies. It seems this year breaking $100 million is a feat for the few. Nearly all the major releases fell short of it: Full Throttle, Tomb Raider, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, etc...

I don't think Disney is realizing the core of the problem with it's animation division: bad writing. Treasure Planet was an entertaining movie in it's own right, but the awkward mismatch of genre's made the story damn near incomprehensible. Pixar is a winner because it's films have a magic and...

Since this has become the year of the bad movie, I thought it would be fun to hold an amateur version of the Raspberry awards, the industry's leading support group for mediocrity. Anybody who has an idea can feel free to submit a nomination. Anything's eligible, from acting to writing to...

Paramount executives blamed the poor sales of the latest Tomb Raider game for sinking the movie. I was laughing so hard...... It's like the classic exchange between a mother and her chocolate-covered kid: "Timmy, did you eat the cookies?" "I didn't do it, it was Susie!"

The Haunting was a pretty notable dual release. I believe the DTS version followed the Dolby by over a year. When it was finally released, it completely plowed the Dolby version away, to the point where my local Best Buy only has the DTS prints. It's usually the other way around.

Chu, To answer your question, nearly every action movie released in the last 4 years has material at 15 Hz and under. Also, the tuning point of my sub is 16 Hz, so I'd just like to cut out everthing below it, to avoid bottoming the driver with some of the extremely deep bass in some movies.

I'm looking to stick a subsonic filter on my SVS to get rid of all the stuff that overloads my woofer. I'm looking for it to cut off in and around 15 Hz, maybe a little lower. I don't need a full EQ or amp, so does anybody know where I could get a relatively inexpensive stand alone subsonic...

I smell a future drinking game sprouting up around this nightmare. While Affleck was never that good to begin with (aside from Chasing Amy), J.Lo used to be a respected actress. Apparently that actress no longer exists. Sad that she's so willing to flush her reputation away on these stupid 'pop...

Derek, if I read your post right, you're askking if, in two channel mode, a signal will be sent to your sub? If you have the size of the speakers set to 'small' then yes. The crossovers that strip low bass from the main channels in movie soundtracks work the same way with 2 channel music.

Dave, On my disc, the D2R2 label is on the 'silver ring' as you called it, except it was on the label side, not the data. Of course, listening to it *is* always a good way to find out :D . BTW, I just remembered. If you stick the disc in a DVD-ROM drive and check the modification dates on any...

I just realized I may have not been very clear on what I meant by saying the DD was 'correct'. It was bad grammar on my part. I meant to say that Dan's opinion that the DD disc had fairly low bass was correct, as many other listeners shared the same feeling. I honestly have no idea which version...

Dan, You're noticing another big controversy from a few years back: which version of JP is more 'accurate' to the theatrical track. While the original DTS disc was very anemic, bass wise, the DD wasn't all that much better. When the repressed DTS came out, DTS listeners were ecstatic, but DD...

Dan, it's pretty much up to you whether to send it back in or just keep checking around for the repressing. It is out there, but may take a little digging to find. If you're happy with the sound of your current DVD though, it may not matter. The original DTS disc did have a low LFE, but it...
