With the (seeming) rise in popularity of 3D movies, assuming they have the same standard across all theaters, is there a market for premium 3D glasses? While you will probably end up paying extra no matter what, it would be nice to have a pair of 'studio' grade glasses to use when watching these...
Progressive scan was/is on. Now the funny thing is - after wristing this post, I watched 'Blades of Glory' and 'Shooter' and both were flawless. No clue.
We have had a 720p Mitsubishi RPTV for about 2 years and its been fine. Used a Denon 1720 DVD player with component video out and things have looked fine. However, bought a Denon 1730 for $50 because we needed the 1720 for elsewhere. Hooked up the 1730 with HDMI to the Mits and got everything...
I have yet to see any bookshelf speaker that could simply handle loud electronic music without the woofer just 'giving in'. Sure, just fine on a HT receiver where you can throw a 60, 80 Hz. hi-pass in there, but my Primare is definetly full-range and even gives my big towers a workout, I...
Thanks guys! Like I said already, a few times, is I am 100% SATISFIED with the bass I am getting and the only requirement is the new speakers be able to produce the same sort of levels. Now in terms of efficientcy, I am very aware that my Klipsch are ultra-efficient, and this amp is able...
Thanks guys. I do understand, fairly well, how speakers work (I am into DIY, spend plenty of time in WinISD and such). Like I said, I am happy with the amount of bass I get now, all I am after is sound quality with the SAME GENERAL AMOUNT of bass - I just don't want to take a step...
Huh? I have nice amp and CD player, my speakers have plenty of output and bass, I want the same amount of output and bass, but in a better quality speaker to take advantage of my CD player and amp.
...and CD player (Primare I21 and CD21). Despite the modest power rating, this little integrated is a monster. The #1 requirement is that I can beat the snot out of the speakers, in that they can handle a lot of power on very demanding music (lots of electronic music with bone-crushing bass)...
Wayne, are you crazy!? It is $700 to my house and that seems cheap. How would you ship something like that, its ***HUGE***. You would basically have to get a freight company to pick it up and deliver it to the person without it leaving the truck/container, almost a courier service.
Oh, and about US vs. foreign builders. I could get a cheap SW flight to anywhere in the USA, stay in a cheap hotel, and eat a Taco Bell - no big deal, few hundred bucks. Compare that with just one trip to China, which would be a few thousands bucks probably and is a big deal (I guess there is...
If someone can point me in the right direction for domestic options, I am all ears. And yes, you are correct, QC would be an issue, but I need to take things one step at a time, and as of now, there are other issues in terms of costs of goods and other finance issues.
Well, I am not looking for 'CHEAP', I am looking for a company that makes hi-quality goods, and I just want them to build something VERY simple and no-frills. Think of it like a company that normally makes hi-end, complex, expensive, quality goods. Some of these companies also make a line of...
Well, I would expect to do business with a company that could tell me what to expect! If I just grabbed any ol guy off the street and said, "Make me 500 of these", then I would be worried. The companies I have been contacting have been in business for 10-30 years and 90% of their work is...
At this point, all I am worried about is figuring out if my target prices are realistic. I have found I can get some VERY nice drivers in reasonable quantities for the prices I want. The next step is the cabinet! As far as QC, I would expect a sample piece and expect the products would meet...
Chu, that link you gave me was very useful, thanks. I would imagine filling a cargo container would make things a bit more affordable (1 year production run in a container!) My other question would be assembly. Sure, I could order parts (assembled and finished cabinet, drivers, assembled...
All I am looking for right now is a '5 minute quote' - trying to see roughly how much it would cost for what I am looking for. I already have an idea about driver manufacturers (talked to about a half-dozen), but just need to take things one step at a time. I am still in the 'feasibility...
From my observations, Bose seems to have been slipping. They used to be the talk of the town and all that. Go into a store (BB, CC, Sears, Radio Shack, etc.) - it used to be Bose was everywhere and everything. Now, they just have a few locations around the department, and are kinda taking a...
...assembles products, boxes/packs them, etc. I am looking for low-cost companies to make some products (cabinet/grill in particular) and am having a hard time finding anything. I would assume Mexico or China. It does not need to be anything fancy, it needs to be basic and affordable. This would...
How do you learn HOW to design a crossover so you can use the design software? Thats the sticking point! It seems once you get the basics down, there are tons of resources available (software, books, parts, etc.)
Agh! Sorry, my bad :frowning: Yeah, the issue I am seeing is the software will show me the output when I feed it crossover designs...but I need to learn about how to make a crossover first! I still can't figure out if it is more of a art or a science! Thanks!
Having 2, 8-ohm drivers together (making either a 4 or 16-ohm load I guess) and then having a 8-ohm tweeter in the mix? The amp would be able to handle any sort of load I threw at it (other than maybe a half-dozen 15" woofers). Two of these (or similar 8-ohm driver)...
I would target $750ish for a 5.1 system. They price could go up or down. Again, I am just looking at the feasibility, getting some prices, that stuff. What I would do first is build some speakers with some better parts (Dayton drivers, for example), and then try the same thing will less...
