Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1's across the front and the 170's elevated front and 200's in surround capacity. My VMPS Original (powered) Sub should do the trick in my present HT room...that would be my ideal HTPC utilizing Dolbly Atmos to its utmost.
Haven't seen it, not even the first. But I am gonna sit down with the Mrs. and watch front to back....the Director's cut 1 and 2 in the box set. I would imagine full color in all scenes as well, since I have read that the bloody scenes in USA are B&W while in Asia colour.
Grey is supposed to be the best for DLP projectors because it shows the blackest blacks. Do a search here and at AVS. The best of course is a screen, but that can come later as $$$ allow. Check out EighthNerve for acoustic dampening intel
Get an AcendAcoustics system w/o sub (>$900) Purchase a ($700) receiver, figure out what kind of sound you like, and what gizmos you want. I like the strong neutral sound of Harman Kardon. VMPS original subwoofer ($750) Use an old receiver to power it. Pioneer 563as ($145) DVD-A/SACD player...
Keaton was not big enough. Kilmer did not want to do it. Though he he could have been excellent. Cooney was to old, and not the right intensity needed. The bat is a brooding hulk of a guy. Affleck is just not a good choice for any leading man. His buddy Mr. Damon is much better in that role...
Awesome movie, I had a smile on my face the whole time. Can't wait to get the DVD so I can see it clearer, I hate when they have a near sighted prjectionist. The sound on DTS was fantastic.
I enjoyed the flick, until the last 15 minutes. It's almost as if they a timeline, and it only went to 90 min :thumbsdown: Maybe the DVD will have the director's cut ;)
Sorry, I did not end this thread. Stupid me, actually put my ear to the ribbon mid...nothing. Quick email to B. Cheney and a week later I installed a new midrange panel in about 5 minutes ;) Audio Nirvana :emoji_thumbsup:
That was the problem. Problem solved, tells me that the tweeter and...
I believe he is trying to have a player recognize a dvd-a over an SACD and distinguish what play mode the user actually prefers, without manually setting up speaker parameters each and everytime. ie;
dvd-a=5.1 music
SACD/CD=2.1
DVD=5.1 movie
DTS option on DVD automatically choose DTS...I...

Buy it for about $520 from an authorized dealer In California
The New Original Subwoofer

I got the 520 for $520 at Ubid (refurbished/1 year warranty)...my machine has been running 12hrs a day for 3 mos without a problem!!!
A hell of a deal. Saving for the AKSA nirvana 3x100watt DIY amplifier from the land down under.:emoji_thumbsup:
You know what, tonights Sopranos sounded just fine. Zero bar scene or road noise. Let me be clear, these speakers are fantastic. With all other movies and soundtracks the LRC is great. It is not the dispersion that was causing the trouble. It was the ambiant sounds. With VMPS the sound is...
Yes, I have spl'd it. I just need to get rid of some of the ambiant sounds (really only from Tony and the boys in the strip club)that is also coming along with the dialogue. Thanks
I am having difficulty in setting up my center channel so that dialogue is distinct from ambient sounds in movies and esp ‘The Sopranos’. I have the Harman Kardon 520 using their Logic 7 surround sound. My center channel (VMPS large ribbon center) has 2 6.5 midwoofs, a 7 inch neodynum midrange...
Anthony Hopkins is the only Hannibal the Cannibal, period. Manhunter was not that good of a movie, neither was Hannibal. I hope they come out with a one disk version of Red Dragon with a skip feature to go right into Silence of the Lambs. I give Red Dragon :star: :star: :star: :star: .5/:star...
I just had a nice discussion with the distributer of Integra models in Columbus, Oh. He stated, the-do- everything Integra 8.3 DVD player will be available for demonstration in October.:emoji_thumbsup:
I can essentially get all these for around the same price, 2 new and one off audiogon. I will be using very revealing speakers and want excellent 2ch sound and ease (WAF) of use HT, good bass management. In a year will be getting a tube amp. So it comes to whether Pioneer 47tx or Integra or...
Sorry Jack, I was not trying to give you any measurements, just that it would appear by impartial judges that Mr. Cheney manufactures award winning speakers, that presumably would equal his proclamations. Have a great day! It was the best I could manage (at this time):b
Professionals rate them decent
If you cannot trust your ears, as I look down to my hands that only holds a remote, which are the only things that I can subjectively tell me what are the lowest and precise tones I have heard. Remember that our hearing recall is the 2nd strongest of all. Far...
Jack, my first statement that should have jumped out at you was getting hold of an owner in New Jersey, duh. Do your own investigation before flinging insults and doubts.
Ok, I will get the Radio Shack meter, but what disc is the end all beat all? By the end of August you will get your answers! I will include room dimensions and equipment used. Anything else?:alien:
Jack, go on Harmonic Discord and ask for someone in the Jersey area to let you listen to their VMPS subwoofers or even RM2's or 40's. I know there are some very satisfied owners in New Jersey. You will not know the facts unless you hear them for yourself. I am going right to the source in...
