Don't forget that small whole (sic) in the one speaker. It can easily be filled to perfect condition lol.

I am running an Yamaha HTR-5560, does that count? It does everything I need and then some. I'm not such an expert that it makes a difference.

Hey, let's get on that part 2 review, can you! :D

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I got some BASE for sale...

I just have one small observation: It appears in the cantina scene between Han and Greedo that Greedo actually shots first. That can't be right, can it?

How about the X-Men? I also think The Lion King is in 6.1 DD EX

I don't recommend using a soldering gun....

My understanding is the DTS ES Discrete is indeed a true 6.1 environment. In "Matrixed" environments (DTS as well as DD) the receiver takes sounds equal in both rear speakers and puts them in the center rear.

I'm glad I read that. I wasn't aware that "Old Yeller" sucked. :laugh:

Darby O'Gill!! Hooray, Hooray!

Jon: Agreed. I thought it was as funny as "Seinfeld". 100% George, thought. :laugh:

A great DVD. What upset me though, was that Blockbuster rented only the first disk. I missed episodes 7-10. :angry:

Breakin' III :D

Tim gave the advice (unfortunately for those seeking help) that best sums it up: go to a store with a wide selection and listen for yourself. I was overwhelmed when I started, there are so many brands! For speakers the following are most talked about here: Klipsch, JBL, Acoustic Research...

Yeah, but French? How many French speakers are there in the US vs Spanish? I'd be willing to be 3 or 4 to 1.

A complaint and an observation: Complaint: Why not a Spanish language track? French and English only? Wha? Observation: It appears to be Dolby Digital EX. My A/V picks up a 6.1 matrix signal and puts out sound on my center back speaker. Yet it doesn't say anything on the box. Hmmmmm...

Great review. My wife pre-ordered "The Lion King" and "Finding Nemo" for our kids a few weeks ago and that's beginning to look like a great move! I can't wait to try the EFHT track. Thanks for the great review.

Murthy: If you are looking for ratings, try http://www.audioreview.com. They have user ratings from just about every piece of AV equipment under the sun. Good Luck.

I'm looking to mount my 2 JBL S38IIs in the corners of my HT room. To that end, I'm looking for a pair of corner shelves to put them on. I've looked on the web for "corner shelves" and got a staggering 3800 web sites. Does anyone have any experience to share in this? Thanks!

The good folks right here at HTF have compiled a list of the movies out in 6.1. Check it out: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...ighlight=dtses I have it bookmarked :)

Thanks, Geoff, I appreciate it. I will look into getting one of these. I mean, $32.00 isn't much to spend to get the most out of a system I sank quite a bit in, right? "It's Lower-Orbital Propulsion Engineering, it's not Rocket Science"

Geoff: No I haven't. I've seen it recommended, but am afraid I don't know enough about it to be able to glean any meaningful info from it. I've pretty much stood in the middle of the room the HT is in and used the receiver settings for each speaker until it sounded good. Are these things...

I don't know why that didn't come up with my search. I tried "test" and "test my home theater". I guess "demo" would have been better. Thanks for the responses all.

I did a search and didn't see anything so here is goes: I just got done assembling my new home theater and I'm looking for advise on movies that will really "test" it. In other words, movies with good surround effects, deep base (for the subwoofer) etc. All opinions are welcome! Thanks.

I have S38IIs for my mains and N24s for my surrounds and couldn't be happier. I don't fancy myself an expert in all music, but my movies and Classical pieces (along with a little Rock N Roll) all sound excellent from these speakers. I felt it was well worth the money I spent, your opinions...

I have S38IIs as mains and N24s as surrounds in a 20x12 room and they absolutely rock. I use them for movies and music, about 50/50. All types of movies, all types of music. I don't think you could go wrong with any of your choices as you outlined them above. Good luck and have fun!

I have a question about Digital Dolby EX. My understanding is that DD EX is a 6.1 (matrix) format. My receiver a Yamaha HTR-5560, is supposedly DD EX compatible. However, I never get any sound out of the middle back speaker with DD EX movies. I've tried Monster's Inc, Toy Story 2, and Cast Away...

My S38IIs kick serious booty. I love mine.
