    Just ordered these to upgrade from my ML Ethos mains

    My room has a lot of natural traps by no real design effort from me. I built the room above a two story hallway and formal dining room but it worked out audio-wise very well. The imaging is stellar but yes, there is a sweet spot. I’ve never had a setup that didn’t have one spot that’s better...

    Just ordered these to upgrade from my ML Ethos mains

    My two strong boys and I finally got them upstairs into the theater. All I can say is: WOW!!!! Of course I expected an improvement over the previous Ethos mains. I didn’t expect anything like this. Too late to blast a movie but the 2 channel music was incredible. So good that now I’m thinking...

    Just ordered these to upgrade from my ML Ethos mains

    I was fortunate enough to secure a great deal on a pair of Martin Logan Expression ESL13A speakers. Can’t wait to pick them up and install them!! The finish is piano black which matches my BF210 subwoofers.

    You only get to watch the creations of 5 directors…. Deserted island

    Just 5 isn’t easy is it??? Most have “honorable” mentions or the like because as enthusiasts it’s so hard to exclude those who have made what we love. I expected this. (Except for jcroy lol) Great reading at least for me. Cheers!!

    You only get to watch the creations of 5 directors…. Deserted island

    OK, you are limited to only viewing the creations from 5 different directors. Not talking about Producers, composers, etc…. Just content that was directed by these talented folks…. What’s your five? Explain or don’t explain. It’s YOUR choices. Me? In no particular order: Steven Spielberg...

    Instead of starting a new thread I would like to try and revive this one. Here is the list I’m just starting to build. I’m not talking about the artistic quality of the movie…. just about the “wow” factor. Audio+Video Here is the start of my list: Jurassic Park 4k UHD T-Rex paddock 13...

    Hello John - Thank you for the kind words! On the retractable screen question. Initially I thought my kids would want to play video games in the theater but I didn’t want them to have to use the projector nor have to play in a dark room. Therefor I designed the soffit so the screen could sit a...

    Hello all! I’ve been working on my theater room for years now. Those who remember me would probably remember me for my passion for Home Theater and my not-for-everyone personality. Lol Here is the current setup: JVC DLA-NX5B projector Da-Lite 110” Contour Motorized tensioned screen Marantz...

    I will admit that I have not read through this thread. That being said I have noticed, tested, and consequently made purchases of 4k UHD discs since the audio quality of these streaming platforms seems to be the sacrificial lamb. The audio is always of less quality as compared to the 4K UHD...

    JVC DLA-RS1000 (DLA-NX5) 4K UHD Projector Review

    I cannot speak for the Sony but compared to my previous JVC models (570R and X35A) this projector stands in a completely different class. Not all upgrades are worth their associated costs. This one is without question.

    JVC DLA-RS1000 (DLA-NX5) 4K UHD Projector Review

    I can’t express enough of how much the NX5 is a monstrous upgrade over the 570R or prior/lesser projectors. The NX5 is (obviously) in my opinion a HUGE upgrade. I can’t say if the NX7 would have been worth the additional coin. It’s hard to find a place to compare them side by side or even...

    JVC DLA-RS1000 (DLA-NX5) 4K UHD Projector Review

    I’ve had my NX5 installed for 3 days now. It is exceeding my expectations in every aspect. My previous 570R doesn’t even compare. I’m watching 4K and HDR content again like it’s the first time.
