    Paint question

    I'm going w/ a slate gray on the walls and doors, with black on the baseboards/trim and cabinentry/shelving. What should I do for the ceiling (it's vaulted, with some strange angles)? Same slate gray? Shades darker? Shades lighter? Black?

    I am stumped on my Theatre Room

    I have a 14x14' media room, totally enclosed. Will be for watching movies and football on the weekends. I had already wired it when the house was built to put in a 70"+ RPTV. (I figure seating distance from the screen to my eyes will probably be ~11') Should I stick with that, or redo all...

    So why shouldn't I buy the HD-A1

    Was just going to get an upconverting player. Sony 75 or the Oppo. Then realized I was paying ~$150 for a DVD player...maybe just drop down to a regular progressive scan (I think upconverters are mostly marketing). Well, the Panasonic S52 w/ upconversion (which works fine) is the same price as a...

    Is 14' x 14' too small for a projector?

    I was planning to do a projector but I looked at some specs and it looks like I would only get ~63" screen size, not the 90"+ I was hoping for. At that size a DLP or LCD is about the same price and I wouldn't have to rewire anything. Thoughts?

    Frequency Settings for the EQ

    Posted this on the Speaker/Subwoofer forum but maybe it belongs here My Thread So my Sony STR-DB930's equalizer for the front bass goes from 100Hz to 1KHz. Now, is this setting a MIN, MAX, or centering Frequency? I am feeding it a constant test tone signal (say 60 Hz or 150 Hz) and...

    Does anyone buy DVDs just for the movie?

    I know I've bought some DVDs MAINLY for the Audio or Video qualities, etc. but I've seen many posts on here where someone ask, "Should I buy movie X?" and I always find it funny that the response is never "yes, if you enjoy the film" but rather "yes, it's got a great anamorphic transfer and a a...

    Frequency Settings for the EQ

    So my Sony STR-DB930's equalizer for the front bass goes from 100Hz to 1KHz. Now, is this setting a MIN, MAX, or centering Frequency? I am feeding it a constant test tone signal (say 60 Hz or 150 Hz) and it doesn't seem to change no matter if I move the EQ setting from 100 Hz to 1KHz...

    Polyfill?

    Where do you get polyfill at? I assume this is just the polyester cotton-like material that is somtimes found in cushions, etc? Craft store? How full should you stuff a sub box? You don't want to cut off all air flow, right?
