Noob question here so feel free to smite me down with your superior knowledge: If he's using the SP4805, which has the Faroujida (whatever) de-interlacing chip in it, why should he care much about how well the DVD player does 480p? Shouldn't he focus on a player that has a decent 480i output...

Just wanted to let people know that InFocus got me my screen and s-video cable in less than a month, making it the fastest turnaround on any rebate I've ever sent in. The screen rocks and is way better than the patched-up drywall in my apartment. I still love the projector and think it's a sure...

Haha nope, I will check that out though. Wow, looks like there's a fan club for "me" out there. Greg

Well, after about six hours straight of watching movies and Twin Peaks episodes, I can honestly say I didn't notice the noise at all. I agree with Evan, when we pull something new out of a box we want to be happy with it but chances are we're going to criticize anything that's not perfect. The...

Kin was right. My 4805 came in today and I'm just about in tears of joy over the picture quality, size of the screen, ease of use, etc. Freaking amazing. My biggest complaint by far is the noise level of the fan in the projector, but that is a price I knew I was going to pay for portability...

Just ordered one from TV Authority today. Definitely the best deal out there right now. Call Kin: 888-286-5353 Ext 522 Greg

Kin, I emailed you with these questions earlier today but it probably makes some sense to have them answered for everyone at once: 1) What is the "computer cable" that comes with the 4805? I imagine it converts the M1 port into a VGA cable; if so, is the VGA end male or female? 2) How...

Great, thanks for the reply and the link to the post. I had looked through some of the older pages of the IB forum but not all. I am going to re-evaluate whether I should be doing IB at all and will likely take your advice on the Daytons if I do it. Thanks again, Greg

Are 2 15s really necessary in an IB setup? Also, can anyone comment on if and why you'd need more displacement in an IB setup than a sealed one? Greg

I'm new to IB setups and really speaker building in general; however, my first project is underway. I'm building a 5.1 setup and am now working on the subwoofer. My budget is $350-$400 max, and I was decided on a Tempest in a sealed box with the 250W parts express plate amp, until I heard about...

Thomas, Can you elaborate on this? Did you attempt to run 4 ohm speakers on the Onkyo? I actually just found an open box model from an authorized dealer and ordered it; if it can't deal with 4 ohm speakers it'll probably be going back. Hell, it's even got a specific selector switch for...

Unfortunately, I need a receiver that can deal with a 4ohm/channel load. These two appear to be rare in their price class with that feature. Thanks though. Anyone else?

Title says it all. I'm looking for an Onkyo SR595 or NAD 751. It must be in good shape, perfect working order, and come at a reasonable price. Let me know what you have!

Thanks for the responses, that clears things up.

Does anyone know whether NAD integrated amps have built-in xovers? I'm going to make some calls and send emails as well, because their product sheets and manuals are unimformative. Here's the DIY part of the question. I'm talking about high pass filters that are built into HT receivers at...

Well, I'm starting off with a pair of speakers, then some day I'll finish the set. It's a wedding gift for my brother, but since I'm in college it's tough to find the time and money for the project. What I build depends on what WinISD and Unibox tell me about different drivers in my price...

Jonathan, Thanks for the reply. I just read the manual for the receiver I'm considering (Denon AVR1603) and it has Large/Small speaker settings for each channel. So that answers my question! I wish they explicitly stated where the over point is for each setting though. WinISD is also free...

Here's my first post at HTF... I've finished my car audio project and am now moving onto some form of an HT system, though it'll be audio only for now. I'm getting into a DIY speaker project, currently using WinISD to help me choose drivers and design the box. It's a hell of a lot of fun...
