Hey Thomas: Congratulations.............Hope they are working out for you. How's everyone doing? Alan: Did you finally sell that amp? We need to get together. Looking at our schedule - I could schedule a get together sometime in Jan or Feb. Anyway, the Circleville Pumpkin Show is up...
Hi all: Last night I had a friend of my son bring over the Crossroads Festival DVD to check out. What a treat! The guitar's were fantastic. My paradigms sound pretty good when DTS_ES or DD is enabled on music. I think the setup hurts for 2 channel because of the room. Anyway that DVD is...
You guys are God Hosts! I've never seen so much great equipment at all three houses. I've really come away with the thought of how I would choose a 2 channel system when I get ready to upgrade my basement. All three sets of speakers had different characteristics but in the end all sounded...
Pat: Send me the directions at [email protected]. Alan: I'm seriously considering the DVD Player to match my 45TX and give my DVR-7000 a rest from duties. I really like this recorder and hope to keep it a while. $200 bucks the low end? Mike
Hey guys could you do me a favor? I'm selling a trumpet to a Music Teacher. He seems very nice and we have consummated the deal. However, he's sending me a cashiers check for a substantial amount of cash and I just want him to be comfortable. He lives a long way from here. If a couple...
Alan: Just would like to thank you for your hospitality today. Well, you guys have me a believer in the two channel stuff. That Maynard song about brought tears to my eyes. I brought it home and my system ain't even close. Well, maybe someday. Hope you guys had enough summer sausage...
Alan: Is 20 amps enough for all that gear you have? You might need two 20 amp circuits for all that stuff you have at peak load. How much current does that amp pull? I'll be busy most of the week. If my schedule clears up before Dre - I'll be over. Mike Mike
Erik: 92 inch? 80x45 ? Is it the Cinema Vision? If not which one? Does the frame attach easily to the wall? I have a a Hitachi Home 1. Currently using a homemade 80 by 48 screen made of frosty white formica. Think I'll like this better? I'm concerned my PJ may not have enough lumens...
This would be better for me because I was going to have to miss this weekend because of my Mom's birthday. See in February! Alan: My Dad has dealt with this illness for years also. I'm afraid I'll get it too. Anyway, I eat almost nothing with seeds in it because of this possbility. Dad...
Dre: I see how you are........just keep me coming back for a little more information......yeah.......Ha I have the corssover on the receiver set at 50 Hz for the sub. Do you think this is sufficient? I know it's sick but I miss you too LaMarcus! Mike
LaMarcus: I would have been like you had I not experienced Dre's theater. I was not going to use bass shakers becuase I did not want to mount the to the furniture that my wife seem to move from time to time. I set the bass according to I believe what I remember of Dre's instructions -...
Hi guys........ Well I finally got the bug and added two Paradigm Atoms to the rear of my upstairs theater and also added the bass shakers (4) in the middle of the room underneath the floor. I hooked the bass shakers up to an old prologic Kenwood receiver and set it on the prologic mode...
I agree with the others here........I rfecommend adding an amp before buying new speakers. You'll be suprised what an adequate amp can do for speakers. Then decide on speakers........also I picked Paradigm two years ago instead of B&W becasue I felt the B&W speakers - and I considered the...
Hi All: Yes, Alan...........I promise I'll have plenty of food - just for you and Dre. LaMarcus: Hope you had a happy new year also! Can't wait to see your theater. Hey Dre - what was the name of the greyscale calibration equipment you had? I forgot as usual. See ya all soon. Mike
I need to have you guys over to look at my Home 1. I'm not as discriminating a viewer so I'd be interested in what you guys think the weaknesses are......... Mike
Dre: I enjoyed your system very much and IF ONLY my wife could have seen it! Loved those bass shakers so much, I went up to Parts express and bought 4. Haven't told the wife. I'm going to mount them as you suggested in the middle of the room together. They were on sale. I got 4 and 100ft...
Alan: You might want to get a price form the guy who built mine. He's an a GIS specialist at the City and builds in basements on the side. If your not in a hurry and want a guy who will work with you on the design and changes as you go - he works. For the price, I couldn't beat him...
Alan: I've heard the Owens system is very good but it is pricey. If I was putting in a permanent home theater I would give it serious consideration. I briefly looked at it when I constucted my basement. Will the system be able to easily give you a false wall where you can get you gear put...
