I heard that too. While no seat in the venue is poor, I would advise avoiding the first 2 or 3 rows, far sides and all but the front of the upper level. We sat 16th row center and were directly under the enormous chandelier. We could clearly see the actors expressions, costume details etc. Even...

The parking garage entrance is the quickest route. Out of the elevator, make a left and you'll be heading down a long walkway. At the end bear left and the escalators down will be a few steps away. At the bottom make a u turn and you will be looking into the foyer of the Phantom theater. I would...

The Romantic Manifesto - by Ayn Rand The unifiying theroy of art. The topics include: Art and cognition Psycho-epistemology of art Art and sense of life Hope you find it rewarding as it was to me.

Mark, I wanted a dual role monitor as well and after considerable research and tire kicking bought a 27 inch Olevia. One of majors had for $499 a current model (careful here, lot of places advertise older or lesser units). After setting it up and spinning a few DVDs, checking out my...

Marc, Careful now! It starts with wainscoting or baseboard, next thing you know you are deep into crown moulding! The main issue I stumbled over a few years ago on my first crown/trim project was angle of the cuts. Your miter saw may be perfectly set, the most care taken but when you put it...

How about a 4 sq.ft. footprint, chest high, 7th order, tunable, 13 hz. response capable box that will accommodate 1,2,3, or 4 woofers as your needs require? 14 tuning options. yadda-yadda. The feature that hooked me; removable top and bottom so you may change driver configurations at will. Plus...

Sand is occasionally used as ballast inside the loudspeaker cabinet itself. Lead shot is often used as well. In some speakers this idea is part of the design. The Monitor Audio Silver series are great examples. The Silver 5i had a plug on the back that provided access to the cabinet interior...

You can find info about this at Link RemovedLook in the Technical section where you will find the customer forums. In the meantime Dmitry, flip the leads on your AC-2 and give a listen. By the way, this does not apply to the VT series to my knowledge.

Kernal X, I cherish my Silver 5's as well. They are not in daily use, but come out of the closet during all night listening sessions, when friends bring over a new piece of gear, etc. They always shine and perform on a level that is simply impossible for their modest design. Adding ballast to...

A couple of months ago while wandering around our neighborhood Costco, I spotted a Sony DVP-NS501 for $79.00. Having paid 10 times that amount for the Marantz in my theater system, I could not resist buying the little Sony to see what it was (or was not) capable of doing. It has become a...

Derek, Surround wires are going to either go up and over or under and up. If the joist in your ceiling are parallel to the side walls, they may well be open from front to back. Then all that remains is dropping down the wall. If it's an outside wall, fire breaks and supports make it absurd...

Dave, The under cabinet halogen lights you mention are now available in 120v. I recently bought 4 6-packs from home depot. I've had experience with the low volts and found working with dimmers unsatisfactory. I've just hard wired a set of 5 under my kitchen cabinets illuminating white tiles...

That figures. It's in sequence with other helicopter and bomber pics of the initial defense of the Arrowhead Rim of the World area. Thanks for letting me know!

This is on the ridge of the canyon that the Crestline/Lake Arrowhead/Cedar Park/Big Bear fire started in. A couple of minutes later a 150 to 200 ft. wall of flame roared up over the edge. The firefighters (12,000) that saved our so many of our homes and did their best for others are true heros...

If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.

I run my business from home and find the wee hours to my liking. Often on line and purusing HTF at 3-4 a.m. The stillness and deep quiet of midnight to dawn seem to enhance concentration and focus. Plus when I take a break, I get to walk outside and gaze at a sparkling sky.

Bob, Lovan makes center channel stands of various sizes. They are a triangle shape with 3 spiked feet about 3/4" long, the back one is threaded allowing tilt adjustment. Included are 3 metal discs to place under the feet to secure the stand and prevent damage to your TV. They work great, just...

francisco-a, Set up on the Dual is basic but differs from most tables. - Make sure the shipping bolts on the base are loose. This releases the suspension springs underneath. - Level the entire table. Be accurate. - With cartridge mounted, stylus guard in place, turn the small wheel on the...

Ed, When we checking out the Costco seating, we thought that purchase of an extra arm package was mandatory too. (It does say that in the ad.) But they offer several combinations, 3 chairs, 2 chairs and a chaise, 4 chairs, whatever, as a package. Not only does a discount apply, but all arms and...

Sorry John, I edited the link to the manufacturer. Also, check out e-bay catagory "leather recliners" and you'll see Discount Leather Chairs. "the Ethan" is shown in red. Wish I could use red, it looks sweeeet.

David, We are on the downhill side of a full family room / theater remodel. Deciding which seating technology would offer the highest performance in our system became the most difficult and most researched aspect of the project. As Mark mentions above, Costco has a killer deal on a...

The Tempurpedic seems to be the king (punny!) of the foam bed industry. Just about all the other brands claim theirs are "just as good for less money." The foamies offer qualities that one definitely wants in a bed, but have a few drawbacks, most important to me the ability to make any...

ahhhh!

Kyle, Your first priority is insurance. If some nimrod you make a speaker cable for sticks it in a AC outlet and ignites his big toe, or during a house call the homeowners chihuahua bites your ankle and you punt it through a view window (taking out a Ming vase on it's flight), you may be held...

I hope we manage to load the U-Haul and find new lodging before the inevitable "smack" Julie K. spoke of. But let's tell the French we're just going away for the week-end. Several years ago I managed a couple of hi-fi stores in the San Diego area. One beautiful spring morning the guy who ran...

"Cats flattened while U wait." "CAT - the other white meat" "Bang Your Head!"

Gary, Congrats! I just got the same 2 pieces yesterday! But paid $45 more with delivery (knew I was getting hosed!). There are a lot of choices to make and modes to experiment with for connection and viewing preferences. Think it's going to take a while to sort out. When you find what works...

Easter Joke: Jesus whispers from up on his cross "Bring me...St. John." Upon hearing of the request, St. John rushes only to find Jesus unconscious, so returns home. Hours later, he is told that Jesus has again whispered "Bring me...St. John." He hurries back only to find Jesus has again...

Costco displays the 42" plasma occasionally. Seem to recall pricing in the 2800.00 area.
