Ideally, my ideal Atmos setup would be one that fit in my house.
I prefer 7 channel surround to 5. I feel like the sound field is more enveloping in a 7 channel setup. In that way, I feel like the .4 Atmos setup would be the best. So I guess I would like the 7.1.4 setup.
I have extensive time in with the R20's and they are an excellent speaker. When I bought them 3 years ago, I liked them better than the R15's. I thought they were a little cleaner. I thought I could hear detail better. Still, the R15 is a nice speaker. Very good for the money. I doubt you can...
Tom here, checking in from Bangkok. I just wanted to thank Mark and all the people at AV123. I cannot wait to get back to the U.S. and have fun with these speakers.
It can be tough trying to decide on a projector. If you are just going to do mainly DVD's, I would probably go for the LG. Why pay for the extra resolution if you do not intend to use it? If you have seen the LG and like the picture, I would just go for it.
I have a soft spot for two different arcade games for very different reasons.
1. Wizard of Wor: This game came out when I was about 11. My mom would always drag me to the mall but she would let me hang out in the arcade while she shopped for a few hours. I was only 11 so I didn't have any...
You know, it's kind of funny...I never thought my HTF board would have on WoW nerds. Of course I am one myself. I got the game a few months ago and play a bit, but not a ton. I play on the Dragonblight server (not PVP). I have a 38th lvl gnome mage. I have really been enjoying the game. One of...
ProjectorCentral doesn't really have any products, they just link to dealers who sell projectors. I have a Sanyo Z3 which I purchased for 1795 and I like it. I haven't had any experience with customer service because I haven't had any issues.
If you want good quality cables for a decent price, you may want to check out cablewholesale.com I have purchased almost all of my cables there. I have had very good service from them.
I got a DVR from my cable provider and I can record about 12 hours of HD. It works great for me. They aren't afraid to charge me 10$ a month for the DVR, but it is a small price to pay for being able to record HD....oh and Discovery has the best HD out there. You should check out Lost and Alias...
I have owned the Z3 for a couple of months and I love it. HD is great. It was easy to setup and install. I would try to look at them if you can. If you live close to a HTF member, most of them would be happy to have you over for a viewing (I would think).
I have only used mine to control the receiver. Sometimes I accidentally hit a different input and then I cannot control the volume until I hit the AVR button again. I have used this remote on and off. I had to move my system once I started building my theater so I have been using the receivers...
I have 4 Polk R20's and a CSi Center Channel which I purchased for just under 500$. Sounds spectacular. I would go check them out. Listen to as much as you can before you purchase and don't forget to take your favorite CD's with you.
ps, you can throw in a Dayton subwoofer for just over 100$...
If anyone is looking at stands, I can strongly recommend the Sanus Steel Foundation (SF) series. I bought a pair and a center channel stand and they are very impressive. I mass loaded them with sand. They look great and are very stable. I don't have a 2 year old, but I do have cats and they have...
It has finally started. I was going to wait to buy a better subwoofer until they came out with the rosewood pb12 plus 2, but I couldn't wait. I got a PB10. I love that thing but now I am coveting the big boy. I hate SVS....making me want to part with hard earned money.
Well, I ordered a PB10 this morning and am going to give it a go. I realized that Steve was correct and IF I don't like it, I can sell it and get the PB 12 Plus/2 I am lusting for....maybe when they get their wood finishes.....
I have almost completed my first dedicated HT. It is a small room (13.5 X 16 X 7.5). One of the things I really wanted to do was upgrade my sub(Dayton Tiny Mighty, which I love but....). I want 'Face-Melting' bass. I want every movie to make me feel like the scene near the end of Raiders of the...
Bill,
That is a great story. I have two cats who are hell on everything as well. My story is a bit different. I have had cats before and have always been able to deflect their scratching 'needs'. Posts and other measures have always helped. With my two boys now, they were scratching hellions...
