    Center Speaker Sensitivity Problem

    I have tried increasing the power going to my center speaker but it doesnt help much. Currently I have it on +8. I don't own a SPL meter so all my checks are by ear. I live in the UK and havent found anywhere where I can purchase a SPL meter at a reasonable price. Currently all my speakers...

    Center Speaker Sensitivity Problem

    Hi, I have been having problems with my center speaker. The Audio is very quite/muffled when there is lots going on in a movie. For example in the Pod Race seen in Star Wars Episode 1 you can't hear the two headed commentators and some other audio during the race. You can hear them...

    Why Home Theater Magazine is worthless drivel

    I also think that the majority of HT and Hi-Fi magazines arnt worthy of even being used as toilette paper. However over here in the UK I reguarly read "What Hi-Fi". This magazine whilst not being a dedicated HT magazine does reguarly cover HT equipment. This magazine does not mind calling an...

    Storage? To those with 200+ DVDs

    Chris Beveridge, You may have already figured this out but Ill let you know anyway. 1200 DVD's with lets say an average viewing time of 2 hours gives your (1200 * 120) 144000 Mins of Viewing which is (144000 / 60) 2400 Hours. With 24 Hours being in each day it would take you (2400 / 24) 100...

    Why doesn't George Lucas just reshoot Episodes IV-VI

    My opinion on TPM is this: 1) The film is good (watched it 3 times now) 2) The special effects are excellent but didnt integrate 100% with the actors (this is expecially noticable when watching the DVD) 3) Ja-Ja anoyed the hell out of me 4) Parts of the film had to much of a Disney feel to...

    Hannibal credits

    I do agree that the ending of the book did make me feel a little uneasy. But I put it down to the drugs!!! However I did think the Sub plot in the book was as intreging as the main storyline.

    Hannibal credits

    A bit off topic but relevant to the Hannibal movie. I watched this movie in the Cinema and quite liked it. I went away thinking not a bad film but it could have been better. A month or so later someone lent me the Hannibal book and so I thought it would only be polite to read it. After...

    Considering a region-free DVD player... a couple of questions:

    The region 4 release of Jackie Brown has got a anamorphic transfer (R1 hasnt) and is not a flipper (R2 is).

    SACD Players require special amp?

    Thanks for the info. I have got two stereo amps in mind, the NAD 370 as previosley suggested and the Sony TAFB940R. My personal preference would also be the NAD but as I can pick up the SONY TAFB940R for half the price of the NAD is it worth paying the extra (£200) for it ? Also as my SACD/CD...

    SACD Players require special amp?

    Do you need to buy a amplifier desighned to be used by SACD player or will you get the improved sound quality on any amplifier (in comparison to regular CD's). The reason I ask is because I have just purchaed a SACD player and I am currently running it through my Sony DB930 receiver. I know...

    Are the Region 2-6 versions of these movies 16X9 enhanced???

    From you list I only know of 'Private Parts' being available in anamorphic widescreen on R2 PAL. I don't think that 'The Abyss' will ever be available in any region sporting an anamorphic transfer. I think that both the 'Lion King 2'and 'Little Mermaid 2' are both presented in 4:3 and so arnt...

    The region 2 release of TERMINATOR is due out next week and the 2Disc special edition looks very impressive. My question is will this release have anything cut out of the film in comparison to the R1 release and when the special edition R1 version of TERMINATOR is released will it have any...
