How long is too long of a throw? I don't want SDE to be a bother...which if I notice it, I am sure it will be. How far back vs. how small a screen will I need to be able to have it NOT be a problem?

I am looking at replacing my Sony 46" set. I am sitting 7.5' from my screen now, but would be around 11-12'. from the projection screen (screen would be around 96"). My ceiling is around 7'. My room is roughly 20' long. I am thinking I would need the projector around 3-4' behind me. How is...

Rolando - I don't know if thye have fixed the ghost line (raster ringing issue). I had it with my Tosh and it was returned almost 2 years after purchasing it...with many e-mails and phone calls with my store. I saw the line on all Toshiba sets at the time, and it got to the point where I was...

SD viewing will be less than 5%...if that even. Generally speaking, I am not so concerned about being too close to the screen. Just being too close to the physical TV (the psycho-visual effect of being too close). I guess I won't know until I do it...but I was looking at the environmental...

Here is my dilemma. I currently own a 46" RPTV and sit 7.5' away. I had to get something that "small" while in my last house. I have since moved and I am in a larger dedicated room with complete light control. While this set still looks good, I want MORE of the HT experiece and I want to go...

I know you are supposed to try and keep your tweeters at or near ear height/height of your mains. I am on top of my 46" RPTV (on stand). It is fine for me now. Question is, how high is too high? I am looking at picking up an LCD or DLP in the 60-62" range and sitting about 8' away. That...

Dan - I completely agree...but this is farther away from anything I have seen before after setting it with the disc.

A friend of mine just got a 50" Samsung DLP delivered to his house. He was all set up, and asked me to come over with Avia to tweak it (I do the tweaks on my buddies' gear). I went over there, turned the lights down...and BOOM! I got hit with train headlights. That set is BRIGHT at standard...

I made some homemade wall treatments out of foam, cotton batting, wood and a canvas type cloth (beige/natural). Since filling out the room with them, my darker walls are lighter...and the side walls are now a little refelctive from my RPTV. Any idea if black speaker cloth would be very...

6.1

That helps visually...but how do I translate my environment into degrees from sweetspot?

Searched but couldn't quite find an answer. I have my surrounds essentially in a null posisiton (beside me...perhaps back 6 inches or so). Unfortunately, with my room placement, I can't get a fantastic front stereo image where my seating is. If I move my seating forward, my soundstage improves...

Wayne - I am have JM Labs Cobalt 816 S up front, the SR 800 at the rear, and the CC800 for the center. I have a Paradigm PW-2200 sub. You are correct in your assumption of speaker distances. I am sitting 8.5 ft. from the fronts, and 6 from the rears. I too think that reducing their treble...

I am always tweaking my system and moving speakers around looking for the best configuration. Recently, I have started making my own accoustic panels and setting them up around the room. I have drawn a diagram of my room, and I have shown the panels in grey. The ones near my fronts are 2x4...

I have had my HD receiver for about 10 days now. I have been blown away by HD content for the most part. I am absolutely in love with Monday Night Football...it is unbelievable quality. Coming off watching a game of MNF last night, I was wondering if the poor looking HD broadcast on Fox was...
