Well, I guess someone should start it, seeing as it might be June before anyone does. Random thoughts: Barring injuries, the Lakers and Spurs appear to be on a collision course for the Western Conference Finals. Just one number for you Spurs fans, and get ready for the decimal: .04 The...

Anybody else open up their Sunday paper today and see the Parade Magazine cover/article on Benazir Bhutto? Geez, these people need to get their QC in order.

Come on, wusses! :) Throw down your Super Bowl predictions, so we can bask in the glory of how smart we are! Or, we can be ridiculed by how off the mark we were. If those geeks (all due respect) in the Oscar prediction thread can do it, why can't we? Based on the NFL Playoff Thread, the only...

Wow, can't believe there's no discussion about this yet. To all of you Brits, ex-pats, and vacationers that get to see these guys live at the Royal Albert in May, I extend a hearty middle finger. Short of Zeppelin with Jason Bonham and the Who with the ghosts of Moon and Entwistle, this has got...

With the powered woofers having to be plugged in, they are becoming logistically difficult to deal with, though they are the best speaker I've ever owned, and the best I've heard under 3K. I don't expect to be blown away by whatever my next speaker set-up is in comparison to the 25's, but...

Now, even in my most out-of-control college days, I can't match this guy: http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/08/1...eut/index.html Hmm, makes me thirsty. :)

(Admin note - Please post all Olympics results/discussion in this thread. Thanks!) Olympic fever, you've got to love it! Or not. I always loved the Olympics and have been glued to the tube during every one since 1984 (saw the heavyweight weightlifting final live. YAY!) but this year I'm down...

At Amazon UK, the info states that the MBB box set is Region 0 PAL, but everywhere else I've looked (eBay, etc), says it's R2. Can anyone confirm this before I buy? This is a very funny show, but so few in the US know about it, that I fear it'll never get released over here. I'm thinking about...

If ESPN's report is correct, Gary Payton will sign with the Lakers on July 16. Karl Malone has said he will also join the club if Payton is on board. If true, this is a glorious day for Laker fans. Especially welcome, in light of the Kobe situation. With 4 Hall-of-Famers in the starting line-up...

When one of the greatest living filmmakers, Werner Herzog, releases his first English-language movie, one would think that would be cause for celebration. But, tragically, 'Invincible' got almost zero publicity upon its release (and I live in the 2nd biggest market in the U.S.) and, even worse...

Good Guys financing meant that I couldn't resist the temptation to pick this bad boy up. My Tosh 65H80 was calibrated in late April by Gregg Loewen using my Tosh 9200 DVD player. I told Gregg then that I was thinking about buying this model, and he said it made a big difference which DVD player...

Polls have kind of lost their allure in the wake of all of the fun drafts and tourneys that we've had recently. So give me a list of the top-5 greatest years in the history of cinema with a list (of whatever length you choose) of some of your faves from that year. Off the top of my head, mine...

The Bard has been a passion of mine for years, but I've found that film adaptations of his plays are strangely under-discussed on this forum. I want to find out which film version of a Shakespeare play is the greatest of them all. TV versions (I.E. the two great King Lears with Olivier and Ian...

I emailed tech support at SVS a few days ago, but have yet to hear from them, so I thought I'd shoot this question/problem to any experts out there. While watching Attack of the Clones at fairly low levels the sub stopped playing the LFE, and starting thumping. It was fairly rhythmic (like a...

This is easily one of the best films from last year, but is the new DVD ever disappointing. It has more grain than Nebraska! Thoughts?

7 months old, purchased at The Good Guys, USED SOLELY AS A PRE-AMP, the amp section has never been touched. Strongly prefer local sale, as it is under the 3-year service plan, and all warranty issues can be easily dealt with, but will ship well. The unit is in mint condition, comes with original...

As an adjunct to the Crackademy Awards tourney, I thought it would be cool to ask for a list of 5 Best Picture Oscar-winning films that you are either proud or ashamed to admit you've never seen. Mitty and Evan are exempted, of course. My 5: 1. The Best Years of Our Lives - Both 2. The...

I need to clear out some space so I have the following DVD's for trade. All are in mint condition, non-rentals: Seven Samurai: Criterion Collection (2nd printing) Dances with Wolves DTS Fifth Element Superbits Mulholland Drive Monster's Ball Dumb and Dumber Caddyshack White Men...

This is not intended to be a tournament, but I was moved by the passing of the remarkable Chick Hearn. For those of us who grew up and/or live in the L.A. area, Chick Hearn was like a part of the skyline. His death leaves a hole in the hearts of Laker fans everywhere. Rest easy, Chick. I...

I've owned the EAD PM 1000 for a year and I love it, however the greater power resources of the Cinenova have been tempting me. I'm running Polk LSi 25's, LSiC, and LSIFX's all around (4 ohms) and the 1000 gives them 375w per. Sounds great to my ears, but the Cinenova pushes 600w per (4 ohms)...

Need to clear out space so I'm letting this go for $50 shipped. Also check out my laserdiscs for sale. Regards, Jan.

Can anyone supply a link or a copy of the review in the new S&V? I subscribe, but I don't usually receive mine in the mail until about the 15th of the month. I'd like to read as much feedback as possible about it before I make the final decision to buy (not that any opinion in S&V is worth all...

I have a Tosh 65h80 TV and have thoroughly enjoyed DVD's on it for over a year. Now, it's time to take the next step, as my cable feed has gotten unbearably bad. I don't have a preference for Dish or DirecTV. I don't need a second room setup, either. Which one to buy: Samsung, Toshiba, Dish...

Asking $40 + shipping.

Purchased new in September from the Good Guys in Southern California with a three-year warranty, these awesome speakers are in excellent condition (several nearly invisible scuff marks (not scratches) on the bottom of ONE of the speakers where it was resting on a bookshelf. Only selling to try...

Tom, Ron, Erik, etc., Thanks for the great deal on a superb sub! I was prepared to drop $1500 on a Velo, but why????? I've got to admit that it hurt a little bit to turn the PSB Goldi's from Large to Small on the Denon 3300, at first, but after a quick listen to U-571, 'nuff said. Kudos...

Hi all, and thanks for the great forum. I'm looking for opinions regarding the following subs, all of which I am considering to replace my MA ASW 210 (fast, but not enough slam for my PSB Goldi's, C6i, and Energy Veritas surrounds): Velodyne HGS-15, SVS CS-Ultra, Earthquake Supernova IV, and...
