    Any good 18" drivers available at reasonable price?

    Elemental Design is bringing out an 18" driver. They produce a very nice quality driver, and appear to be moving from strictly car audio into the HT end as well. As a direct internet retailer, their prices are excellent. http://edesignaudio.com/product.php?...pid=35&cur=USD

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Underworld: Evolution

    I was most disappointed with this sequel. The original was a nice mixture of monster movies and the underlying theme of racism [which led to the killing of Viktor's daughter in ancient times]. The forbidden love and in interesting take on vampires & werewolves. OTOH, this movie just didn't...

    M. Night Shyamalan Blasts Disney in New Tell-All Book

    Interesting reading...he clearly has had some interesting ideas. Unbreakable was a superb idea, but then again "Bruno" made the film [as he seems to do frequently]. I strongly agree w/ the 'get back behind the camera' remarks. Hitch did it just right...MNS seemed a bit ridiculous in the...

    Movie sequences that UNNERVED YOU...

    Just came across this thread...after watching Requiem for a Dream last night... A movie from many years ago...WAIT UNTIL DARK. Absolutely riveting scenes of a blind woman (Audrey Hepburn) trying to survive the "bad guys" (led by Alan Arkin). I don't know what prompted this, as I hadn't seen...

    Donnie Darko...a very strange movie

    Whew...watched this movie last night...through Netflix I have stumbled onto more great movies. I was so taken by this film that I decided to poke around online and see what was out there. Imagine my surprise to see a thread begun over a year and a half ago STILL ON PAGE 1!!! Amazing! Even...

    Bizarre! Lost main dialogue in 3801 in DD and DTS

    DING! DING! DING! We have a winner...PLEASE nominate me for moron of the year! I had swapped some cables around, and the pre-out for the center channel is directly above a surround pre-out. BANISH ME FROM THE HUMAN RACE FOR STUPIDITY!!! But don't make me turn in my HT equipment!

    Bizarre! Lost main dialogue in 3801 in DD and DTS

    Thanks, Paul. That was my thought, but I am getting center channel output. There is some intermittant hum so I suspect something may be loose in the receiver. BTW I am running the front three on an Acurus A200x3. Great amp! Anyone have any other thoughts? This is TOO WIERD!

    Bizarre! Lost main dialogue in 3801 in DD and DTS

    I have a year old Denon 3801 that has developed the most unusual symptom...when listening in Dolby Digital, the main characters vocals AREN'T THERE! All the good digital effects play, background voices can be heard, and there is output from all channels. Everything seems fine except that I...

    Are there any complete system kits available?

    Having assembled the Audax HT system, I PROMISE you won't be disappointed. I've had the front 3 speakers running for a couple of months (not THAT much usage), and my wife and I were commenting tonight how GOOD they sound for music (break in time passes!). Yeah, the center channel is big...but...

    3 channel amps (Parasound/Anthem/or Acurus)

    I recently bought an Acurus A200x3 on ebay ($560) to power the front three channels of my home theater. I have a Denon 3801 and have built the Audax Home Theater speakers. The difference the Acurus makes is unbelievable. Very clean and natural. I have the bass cranked up a bit for home...
