    Talk about a movie you can feel!!

    I agree that Revolution is superb in PQ and SQ. Because of "peer pressure," I broke down and bought the Hauting (1999) a couple of weeks ago. I think that the door knock scene there is the loudest LFE I have ever heard.

    SVS Lovers

    First, I had a JBL PB10. Upgraded to a 20-39 PCi to hear what the fuss was all about. Sent it back to SVS to exchange for a 16-46PC+ within 2 weeks. Looking to add another another one once opportunity provides.

    Subwoofer Decision crunchtime

    Guys, I have a related question. My HT room is a relatively small 14'x11'. I only use the system for movies and my listening level is about -10 from reference. What would be a better choice? A 16-46 PC+, a PC Ultra, or a PB2+? Is my understanding correct that a 16-46 PC+ will be able to go down...

    When will Toy Story 1&2 be available again?

    I gave up looking for an UTB and bought a region 3 Korean 1+2 pack last month. Couldn't justify paying $100 on eBay for an UTB. I can defer watching the extras until UTB is re-released again, hopefully, in HD-DVD format.

    DVD's Have they Lost their Luster?

    I am also up to the point where I would not buy any re-release unless it features kick-ass LFE. I do not watch extras any more except for deleted scenes. I still buy new releases but HDTV has completely taken the majority of my attention & time. I only turn to DVD when there is nothing else to...

    Is anyone looking forward to Matrix Revolutions DVD?

    I anticipate that the DVD will have abundance of bass judging by the last scene in Reloaded. Therefore, I am looking forward to shaking my house with Revolution on the release night.

    Any good B&M stores in NoVA?

    Austin Tech is a really good store. Their address is 45000 Underwood Ln # H, Sterling, VA 20166 Phone: (703) 796-9041 I live in Vienna and just 2 minutes drive from Micro Center but I still would recommend Austin Tech although they are all the way out near Dulles Airport. I bought...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Gothika

    I think I will buy this based on the comment on the LFE track alone. I am a bass addict.

    What subwoofer do you own? If not satisfied, what would you like to own?

    Originally had a SVS 20-39 PCi. Upgraded to 16-46 PC+. Now looking to upgrade the house so that I could justify adding another one or two 16-46 PC+. ;) I live in a townhouse now and the listening room is a quite small 15' x 11'.

    JBL Northridge and Studio Series

    Many people have mixed S and N series and have reported positive result. I went from S38ii, S Center II, and 2 pairs of S26 to S38II all around. The reason? The S38II are so great (to me at least) that the S26 integration did not sound "seamless" (again, to me at least). If you can find the room...

    Just another one of countless newbs that need a little advice(kinda long)

    Todd, sorry about that. I thought that the free shipping advertised applies to everything. $150 shipping cost is totally ridiculous.

    Really Low Frequency Movies

    I think that 2 Fast 2 Furious also have some good bass at the race scene in the beginning. Especially when the (riced-out) cars are passing by a static camera. It is not the lowest bass but I could certainly feel the air moved in those scenes.

    I need mental help: the bass bug has bitten. (SVS)

    Can I join the group? In December I bought a 20-39 PCi. I had it for three weeks and decided that I need more and ordered a 16-46 PC+ because I want the sub that will go the deepest. The gain knob in my PC+ is only at 2/3 and -4 over the center channel in my receiver. The PC+ now is tuned at...

    What about this Onkyo package? Looks like a reasonable deal.

    Just another one of countless newbs that need a little advice(kinda long)

    I would recommend that you get a decent receiver first like this Panasonic digital 5.1 receiver and only get one pair of speakers to use as main initially. When budget subsequently permits then buy the other matching center and surrounds.

    Losing my mind over cable decision to match system

    A lot of custom made speaker cables use Canare/Belden wires. The Canare Quad can be bought cheaply at $0.43 per foot at www.markertek.com. I personally can't hear any difference between speaker cables. But I bought the Canare any way just to appease my psyche. The Canare Quad is very well built...

    5.1 to 7.1 with JBL S-series

    I would spend the extra $50 and get another pair of S38. I originally had 2 pairs of S26 and bought a pair of S38ii to upgrade to 7.1. I wasn't very happy with the result as it didn't sound "seamless" to me. Ended up ordering 2 more pairs of S38ii. One pair is still in the box until I can figure...

    Where can I find the top-selling television series on DVD?

    I am surprised to find that, based on the link above, Family Guy Volume 1 is the best selling TV show on DVD based on the number of units sold (890,000 units). I have never seen the show but I think that I will pick one up this weekend.

    JBL Speaker Recommendations

    I recently upgraded to S38II fronts and move the S26 to surrounds + rears (center is Series II). I found that this combination is not as seamless as I would like it to be. Maybe it is the bass or the 3-way v. 2-way thing, I don't know. I just put in an order for 2 new pairs of S38II to complete...

    Dances With Wolves....4-Disc Release w/ DTS and Both Versions....Region 0??

    Thank you for the posts. DWW is one of my favorite movies ever (who can forget those highschool days). :) Just put in an order for the Korean version along with Toy Story 1+2 (can't justify paying $80 for region 1).

    Recommended Speaker Wire

    Based on the information here and at avs, Monster is overpriced. Kind of like Bose in that the general consumers assume that it is the best. For Coax digital connection, as long as the run is not too long (

    Recommended Speaker Wire

    I am using this 11 gauge Canare speaker wire. Basically two 14 gauge speaker wire twisted together. I bought it because it was not that more expensive than the Home Depot's wire and some claimed that the Canare Quad speaker wire make an improvement in the system. Personally, I could not hear any...
