    Def Tech PowerMonitors

    I think the reason a lot of people in this forum don't take Def Tech speakers seriously is because of the mentality that the more marketing a company does, the worst their product is. You can't deny that DT does do a lot of marketing in magazines. As far as I am concerned their products are...

    Early thoughts on the Panny PT-L200u LCD FP

    Hey Ron, Looks great! Were you able to attach your ceiling plate mounting bolts to a rafter or did you use anchor bolts?

    Front projectors in rooms with lots of ambient light? Need help.

    I guess I'll chime in with my experiences. I have been enjoying my L300U and a 96" Firehawk for the better part of a month now. My home theater is also the family room. It's an "open room" concept with the family room sharing an eating nook and kitchen. Ambient light was of primary concern...

    Front Projector...Room, light, and screen size questions?

    Gabe, I just PM'd you. I would be glad to show you my setup. I can't do it for a couple of weeks since my wife just got out of the hospital and I'll be rather busy for the next week or so. But anytime after that should be fine. I saw the screen at a guy's house in Beaverton that I met...

    Front Projector...Room, light, and screen size questions?

    Outlaw 755 vs. Rotel 1095?

    I've done some searches and haven't found comparisons of these two amps. I've heard the Rotel in demos at my local dealer, but have never heard the Outlaw. Has anybody had a chance to listen to both of them? I am considering both of them, but the obvious price difference ($1,299 vs. $1,999)...

    Def Tech dilemma or?

    I would sit tight with your current equipment/speaker combo and maybe just try to get a capable subwoofer (or two). I know the BP3000's will definitely have a lot low end, but you should really get a dedicated subwoofer. That way you can move your speakers around to get even better soundstage...

    Anyone own La Bamba?

    It's beeen a while since I've watched this DVD but I recall that the transfer in certain parts looked great, while in others it didn't. It does have a lot of extras and a very entertaining commentary with the director and Lou Diamond Phillips. I'll have to give it a spin tonight because I don't...

    Best Sound on a DVD?

    Saving Private Ryan. It doesn't matter how many times I put that DVD in, it never ceases to amaze me. The best use of surround sound and LFE effects so far in a movie.
