    Rear projection TV size and advice needed

    IMHO, 65" is perfect for a veiwing distance of 10 to 12 feet. But the choice is really up to you and your preferences. Go view one on display at that distance. Just remember when you first get a much larger television than what you currently own, it will appear mammoth. Then as you get used to...

    Is this sub damaged?

    Well, I live in an apartment complex so I'm not trying to drive the thing to excessive levels. The rattling was most noticeable when I was using the AVIA disc and tried the frequency sweep. When it started getting down to 50hz or so, the rattling seemed to set in. The Sub is a powered sub so...

    Is this sub damaged?

    I purchased an Atlantic Technology 272 powered sub to go with the rest of my AT 270 set. I bought it used and it was supposed to be in excellent condition. Anyway, it just arrived today and I set it up and calibrated it. The problem I am noticing is that I seem to be getting quite a bit of...

    Need help/advice on speaker placement

    OK, here is kind of a crude version of how my HT is setup. Its an apartment and not the most ideal place to have a setup but its what I've gotta work with. I'm just looking for any suggestions to improve my sound setup which would include rearranging. The system is used for 90% hometheater, 10%...

    Atlantic Technology: anyone care anymore?

    Is Atlantic Tech really mostly internet-only sales?? I didnt realize that. I bought mine from a local dealer that carried the line. I just thought that Atlantic Tech werent carried in retail chains and only in specialty audio/video shops.

    Anamorphic DVDs On 4:3 TVs

    The only way an anamorphic DVD can look better than a non-anamorphic DVD on a 4:3 display is if the display has a squeeze mode like on the Sony Wegas.

    When will the 1080p tvs start to come out?

    Aaron, I wouldnt worry too much since there is no current 1080p programming available. HD programming that is available now is 1080i (the i being for interlaced).
