I also have the Panny ub900 and it is a good player, but it does not play sacd's so I will buy the OPPO when back in stock. I do know the the construction on the Opposite is the Best! The Panny is very light as opposed to the Oppo 95 I sold. I think the Panny does a good job with HDR. You think...
I would do a 7.2.4 with the Denon being the brains. I would go with Triad Gold speakers all around, for subs I would let Power Sound Audio design 2 18" dual subs. I would have a Seymour acoustic 120" screen with a JVC 4K projector. GIK would handle the acoustic treatments. This system should...
Would be nice with 9 of the M & K new speakers or even the 150's and 2 of PSA new 18" subs. JVC new 4k projector and a Stewart firehawk 120" screen of course all in my media room! The Onkyo is a start though.
I live 25 miles from a theater so there is a $20 bill just to get there and back,add tics,drinks,munchies and your up to $60 for a movie. I have put at least $15000 in to my HT so I pre-order blu-rays and watch at home so I can pause and take breaks and grab an adult beverage some thing you can...

I have to agree when the Source speaks it shakes your insides. At -8 the PB2 Ultra and the Von Schweikert S/3 got a workout. I actually felt the pressure in the room change!:D Got my bass fix for the week. I wonder how Kill Bill will be? Steve
ED, How do you think the numbers would look on a PB2 Ultra as opposed to the PB2 plus? BTW installed the new amp just yesterday. Not using the notch filter letting the BFD do its thing. Yea, I was suckered in to taking a peek. Proud owner of a PB2 Ultra and lov'in it! Steve
I can't comment on the LCR 20 but I have the LCR35 and it is one of the better Centers on the market. Knowing Albert I would say the LCR20 is a very adept center. I used to have a Paradigm Reference 7.1 system. When I was searching for an upgrade I spent 9 months and demoed almost 20 lines of...
My mom is taking a month trip to the east was thinking prices might be cheaper on Front projectors. Anyone know of good AV shops in these areas? Also what type of savings might be had? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Steve
The 4805 has not been released yet. I can tell you that the throw ratio is 1.74-2.09. It is have 1 M1/DA, 1 component, 1 composit,and 1 S-video connector. The image offset is 127.3% in 16:9 mode. This means 27.3% of your image height will equal the distance between the center of the lens and...
I have pre-ordered the Infocus 4805 and will putting the PJ on a table 11 feet from a screen that will drop down in front of the RPTV. Infocus says the throw ratio is 1.74-2.09. I do have about 6 inches wiggle room. What is my maximum screen size? On another subject; Do to budget constraints...
I usually listen to movies at -6-10db's calibrated with internal tones on a Lex MC-8. I had to listen at -18db's with Underworld on a PB2 Ultra and VSA S/3. The bass did pressurize a 7500/3 room but it seems the mix was chaotic. I guess you could say over cooked.;) Steve
ED, Could you expound on the PEQ on the 2Ultra amp? I have had the PB2 Ultra for 4 months but it was a beta unit with a 900 watt bash amp with out the PEQ. I am replacing it with the new 1000 watt amp with PEQ is it for 1 peak or what? I have a bfd just wondering how I can incorporate the eq in...
I have a Dish 6000 which is connected to my Lexicon MC-8 for audio(optical). I was given a Tivo but can't decide how to connect it. I don't care if its only 2 channel for recordings but when I'm watching live I want 5.1 if it is available for that show. I have the HD connected directly to the...
Scot, I still use the aspect ratio and scaling features. I was curious if there were any new players that would do this and best the 91 in the Audio and Video department. You are right we are spoiled! Steve
Just to throw in another kudo for SVS, My room is 7500x3 and I had a hard time getting good bass in this size of room with 2 openings at each end. The PB2 Ultra solved this problem. I have it paired with a Von Schweikert S/3 and the bass in this huge room is astounding. It also does a great job...
If the review of the PB2 plus was a good review, I wonder if my PB2 Ultra is of the same ilk? I would assume it would be, with just a little more extension and output. Just curious. Steve
I had A Paradigm Studio set-up for 3 years 100's/cc450/adp's/Active 20's/Servo 15a sub. I auditioned Def Techs,PSB's.Mirage,Vienna Acoustics, Dynaudio, ML's, and about 10 other lines. I went from Dallas to Austin to Houston and in between and heard a old but new line the VR3.5 HT set-up from Von...
I would try the Parasound amps. There are some good buys for used 2205a's and if you get lucky you might find a couple of 2003a's for a 6 channel set-up. Steve
I used to have the Paradigm Studio 100's/cc450/adp's/Active 20's with a Servo 15a sub. I mated them with a MC-1 and Parasound 2205a and 2003a in a 7.1 system. The sound that I had was very good for both Music and Movies. I sold my Servo15a and went with an SVS and the bass dynamics rerally...
John,I'm shocked the Lex is history. Yet like you say it's a lot of mula sitting on the rack! I still love the MC-8 and think it was an improvement over the Mc-1. Before I went the seperate route I owned a DSP-A1 then the RX-V1 and have to say they were very solid pieces! People kept talking...
All I know is that the PB2 Ultra is worth the wait. I think I have the only beta model so far. It is in the same finish as the PB2+. It does not include the Parametric EQ but SVS has assured me that if this is included I will be able to install it. This sub has cured my upgradeitis! I went from...
I was given a Tivo when my Mom switched to a Direct TV Tivo.I have the Dish 6000 HD receiver.If I connect the Tivo do I lose 5.1 audio in Standard Definition? Also is the signal going to be degraded seeing how I have to run the 6000 to the Tivo then connect to the MC-8? Trying to figure out if...
I have a Dish 6000 receiver connected with S-video to the Sat input on the MC-8. The component cables run directly from the 6000 to the Monitor.Audio is via toslink to the MC-8. The VCR is connected directly to the Lex. The Panny RP-91 is connected directly to the Monitor to via component...
EricN 156 pounds, WOW! When I took delivery of the PB2 Ultra it came in at 196 pounds. It came to my place of bussiness and the delivery guy helped me transfer it from the truck to my SUV. I was so excited when I got home I unloaded it onto a piece of cardboard and drug it 30 yards from the...
