    Dedicated HT room (finally)

    We moved yet again, this time to a house that has a 'bonus' room, the only 'upstairs' on this ranch style house. NOTE: Furniture and current set in the shots are not mine but the current occupants. Sadly, as with my other homes that didn't have a dedicated room, this space is not ideal...

    XBOX360 DVD player?

    I wonder how good the image quality of the XB360's DVD player will be compares to $200-300 standalone DVD players. I've had a Panasonic RP56 for 3-4 years now, I'd hope that the chipset in the 360 would be of higher quality given the time passed. I guess this would be more geared to HTPC...

    Anyone in the Santa Monica/Westwood area no any place to get some Center Speaker stands? Every store around me has 24" or larger, I need a 10-15" (15" being ideal, but I know they are usually 10" or 12"). I'd rather not pay for shipping, so I'm looking for somewhere local.

    Do you adjust your brightness/contrast between movies and games?

    I've had my Panny 47WX49 for over a year now, calibrated 2 times. Been playing games in the 'calibrated' state, and to me they have seemed a little dark, not bad, but at times too dark to play. So after fighting the urge to up the 'picture' setting, I lost and finally did. I can finally...

    PS2/GC/Xbox - And Progressive output (poor PS2)

    OK, for those of you lucky enough to have all three consoles, you might know what I'm talking about. Now granted, not all Gamecube games support progressive (though all the Xbox games do 480 by default). The other day I was playing Devil May Cray and some THPS3 on the PS2 on my new Panny 47"...

    Klipsch RF-3 IIs?

    Ack! I just ordered and RC-3 (not II) and I was sent the new RC-3 II as a 'gift' due to a 'mis-communication! Is this going to sound 'different' compared to my RF3/RS3s as far as timbre goes? The specs of the RC-3 II appear to be the same as the RC-3 except...

    Center Surround, worth it?

    Hi all! I'm currently debating on whether or not to purchase a rear center surround channel (another RC-3) for my HT setup (Klipsch RF3s, RS3s, RC3, KSW12, Outlaw 1050). Cost is not the issue, but I'm really curious as to whether or not the improvment in sound is really worth it. Yes, the...
