    My Home Theatre - 12 Pictures

    Nick, i'm currently using a Sony STR-DB940 which works OK. I'll be upgrading to a Yamaha RX-V1400 sometime in the not too distant future. I'm looking forward to going back to a Yamaha! I'll have to look into the ATS2s and 3s when the time comes to get decent rears. Thanks.

    Fr.Spkr. Stands? or No Fr.Spkr. Stands?

    I'd do it. I have Aaron ATS5s which are large speakers raised using some 1.5 inch spikes to get the tweeter in just the right spot. It works great. Some good stands will likely isolate the speakers from the floor anyway, and you may notice an increase in sound quality, and not just because of...

    My Home Theatre - 12 Pictures

    Hey Nick, That's a very nice looking setup you have there. I too am using Aarons, except i'm using ATS5s with a CC240 for the front stage. How are the ATS3s for rears? I don't have good rears yet (just crappy speakers), so i'm interested to know. I was thinking another set of ATS5s in teh...

    Buffy "Once more ..." pitch observations..

    PAL speedup is not a problem. Of course, i've never seen any NTSC Buffy,so I can't really say for sure. :) It alls seems fine to me though. As for S6, I liked it. Sure it was dark and pretty depressing half the time, but it's still Buffy and that puts it way ahead of most other shows on TV. I...

    Buffy Season 6 Extras

    I can't wait for this. I've got the R4 set in the mail, and i've managed to not see any of the series on TV. Very exciting! :D

    Watching Angel Season 3 and Buffy Season 6.

    Just a very quick question for ya's. I've recently picked up season 3 of Angel here in Oz, and I'm just wondering if it's critical to watch it with season 6 of Buffy? Is anything going to be ruined story wise if I watch it now, with Season 6 of Buffy not out for another few weeks? I've...

    Blood: The last vampire. Beautiful!

    Yep, it's awesome alright. Another Anime with great visuals is 'Macross Plus' which is a few years old now, but still one of my favourite series. It's got excellent music too. 'Ghost In The Shell' is good as well.

    Also, the R4 release is announced for March 18th priced at AU$150. WooHoo! I've ignored this series on TV while waiting for the DVDs, so i'm happy.

    A Question about the upcoming Buffy and Angel Sets

    Well, all points raised are good ones, and everyone is entitled to an opinion. Despite it all though, the sets will more than likely be 16x9, and it really isn't all that bad. Between S3 and S4 my enjoyment of the show on DVD hasn't reduced at all because of the aspect ratio. It's still an...

    A Question about the upcoming Buffy and Angel Sets

    The widescreen of season 5 (R4) looks fine. I certainly didn't notice anything bad while watching it. Edit: Come to think of it, season 4 was fine too. There was only one episode where I noticed a problem. In ep 'Goodbye Iowa' there are two shots where Buffy and Riley are talking at the...

    Angel Season 3?

    Thanks dude, I knew you'd help. BTW, I just watched 'The Body' for the first time. OMG, what an amazing piece of television. Can't wait for Season 6 now, I wanna see 'Once More With Feeling'. See ya's.

    Angel Season 3?

    Hi, I know this is a sort of a repost, but the other threads all deal with R2. What I'd like to know is, when will this be released in R4? If anybody has any idea I'd appreciate it. Thanks. On another note. What seasons are currently (or recently) showing in the US, of both Buffy and...

    Buffy Season 5 (R4)

    Nah, just your usual stuffed lines and the like. It's pretty funny though, and I've only seen those on the first part of the series. I'm not sure how R1 handles the releases but for R4 you get 2 boxes of three discs, and I'm pretty sure there are some more on the second disc (maybe) :) I...

    Buffy Season 5 (R4)

    I grabbed a copy of part 1 today (the first 11 eps) and had enough time to throw in disc 3 and check out the long awaited outtakes. It went for about 2 minutes and had a couple of really funny ones. I also managed to watch the first episode and everything is on par with the previous sets video...

    Finally an Australian 16:9 Harry Potter, but.....

    I very, very rarely see imported DVDs for sale in Aus.

    S-video vs. Component

    The difference between the two on my setup is down to brightness. When using the component outputs the picture is brighter without changing any settings on the TV. Brighter pictures will look better - that's just how the eyes work. So it looks better to me. Having said that though, the...

    Could Somebody Help me Please?

    Do you have a calibration disc? Such as Video Essentials. If not grab one of those and work through it. Then enjoy the results.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Blade 2" (Highly Recommended) (with screenshots)

    I haven't actually seen the movie yet, but I've got the first one on DVD so I figured I'd add this one to the collection as well. After reading Ron's reveiw I can't wait for it to arrive. It shipped last week, so I should get it by the end of this week. WooHoo!!! :)

    Sony SA-WM40 subwoofer

    Hi, Is your receiver 5.1? If it is, then connect it using an RCA to your LFE output on the receiver. Set the cutoff up high because chances are your receiver will set this anyway. As for the level, it should be set 10Db higher than the other channels using an SPL meter, otherwise just set it...

    Australian Pearl harbour DC a Joke!

    I decided to go with the R1 version mainly because of the DTS track based on Ron's review that it was very good. I don't mind the movie being over 2 discs, 'cause it's sooo long that an intermission isn't a bad thing. I must admit that I haven't even looked at the R4 version to compare.

    R4 punters return P&S Harry Potter

    Yeah, now were talkin' I didn't even bother looking at it, and was planning on getting the R1 version down the track. I may just wait for the WS version in November. I'm in no rush, although it was a pretty cool movie, it's something I can wait to own. Later Christian

    Fast and Furious Cars? Huh...

    In Japan, tough Skylines will happily run high 7s or low 8s. That makes them very freaking fast! This is without nitrous, they just use very big turbos, tough internals and scary tuning. They also do this on street legal tyres, admittedly they wouldn't be legal in a lot of other countries -...

    Buffy S4 R2 Specs

    R4 gets widescreen in june. So I'd bet R1 will get widescreen when the time comes.
