    OK, all you serious collectors out there... What should I keep?

    OK, all you serious collectors out there... Due to space restraints, I'm attempting to thin my collection (now approaching 2700 DVDs) of some doubles acquired due to updating/upgrading. The following have all been replaced with more recent editions. My question is for all you earnest...

    Front-firing sub in dedicated media room...

    I have been looking at various subwoofers for some time now to use in my dedicated media room. I have a theatre with 4 full-range (each w/ 12” powered subs) and a powered center speaker. I also listen to a lot of music (especially multi-cannel DVD-A and SACD). So non-boomy, tight bass is a must...

    My New Favorite Pop Super Audio CD is...

    David Bowie - "Heathen"... The multi-channel mix is phenomenal! I'm not even what you would call a David Bowie "fan", perhaps a casual follower of his hits and such... BUT... This album is extraordinary in every way; Sonically as well as from a compositional/lyrical/musical standpoint...

    Ok, all of you Wharfedalers out there... (you know who you are)

    For my third (yes, third... I know... I have a problem...;) ) system, I have 4 wharfe modus 1.6 and a modus centre. Did I get a bad batch of these (all 4 floor-standers) or is there a large gap in the lower mid-range of these speakers? Anyone else notice this? These are brand new...

    Criterion: Traffic- $24.99...

    I just bought Criterion: Traffic at Media Play (midnight Harry Potter special hours) for $24.99... Pretty good price for a Media Play/ Sam Goody/ Suncoast, whose prices are usually very close to retail. I think its on special all week. They had only 6-7, get'em while they're hot... Cheers, -JD

    I feel the need to express myself... I LOVE ANCHOR BAY!!!

    I was just looking over my DVD collection (now up to 1427 and counting...) and suddenly realized something; Most of my favorite DVDs are Anchor Bay releases. Not always the films themselves, but the treatment the Co. gives to presentation, packaging, and production. All of the tin, wood, and...

    Who remembers seeing Naked Gun 2.5 @ the theatre?

    It seems to me that the video has been altered... As I remember the ending at the theatre, R.Goulet flies out the window and we (the audience) hear "AAAAAhhhhhhhhhh(as in falling)...n a clear day..." (as in singing). I remember this vividly because I almost fell out of my seat laughing. In...

    The only reason to buy Superbit...

    Well, one of two... The DTS soundtrack, and the nifty stainless steel lookin' packaging. Well the new Dracula and Gattica disks don't have the "neato" looking packaging anymore, just the plain ol' regular cases. I don't want to offend anyone; If you like superbit, great. I, personally don't see...
