    Marantz SR5010 - any feedback yet?

    Schan, I don't know what is an adequate amount of power to make these speakers sound decent. Sorry if I don't have your level of expertise...that's why I have come to HTF over the past ten years to learn from those who know more than I do.

    Help installing my first projector

    I pulled the pre drywall photos and took a closer look. There's about 12" of clearance between the roof insulation and the drywall where I need to hang it, so I guess it'll either be an external plywood mount or possibly a combination of lag bolts and toggle bolts? I'm learning the...

    Help installing my first projector

    Hi. I'm attempting to install my first projector. It's a Sony 40ES. I got it with the Chief Universal Mount based on a recommendation from ProjectorPeople. Here are my issues: How do I make sure I project straight on? This mount doesn't seem to have a way to correct for yaw if I don't...

    Marantz SR5010 - any feedback yet?

    I'm looking at pairing a Marantz SR5010 with Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers. I haven't found any information by someone who has actually used the new SR5010, or if this will provide enough power to adequately power these speakers. Can anyone give me feedback on how this receiver is, and...

    Carada vs Silver ticket vs Elite screen?

    I'm debating getting a 100" screen and looking at Carada, Silver Ticket, and Elite. Does anyone have feedback on how these compare?

    Receiver recommendations

    I'm setting up a home theater in a room that is roughly 16'x19'. It's not acoustically perfect, but I'll worry about adding acoustic treatments later. The room is prewired for 5.1, but I'd like to keep the option open for at least an upgrade to 7.1 at some point. I think Atmos would be...

    Looking for Projector advice

    Thanks for the input. I've read Ron's thread extensively over the past two months. I guess I get flustered when half of the comparison reviews say the Epson beats the Sony and the other half say the Sony is a better projector. I've got the wall space to do CIH but can't justify the anamorphic...

    Looking for Projector advice

    I'm moving into a new house next week, and am considering my options for the theater room. The speaker pre-wire allows for about 3 feet from the floor for a center channel, and with the pre-wires on the left and right speakers and the height of the room, I could probably maximum do a 120"...

    Hardware Review Sony VPL-HW55ES Projector Review

    I'm looking seriously at this projector. However, I'd like to do a ceiling mount, 16' throw, and about a 110" 2.40:1 screen. Is this feasible, or am I going to be up on a ladder adjusting the manual zoom every time I turn this on?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Wizard of Oz -- in Blu-ray

    I couldn't believe that I had to debate the issue with the manager. They "fixed it" finally - with a severe window boxing that could have easily been corrected by someone adjusting the projector lens. At that point I was too upset with the manager to deal with it. I came straight home to...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Wizard of Oz -- in Blu-ray

    Just got back from my Fathom screening of Oz. NEVER AGAIN. The theater was showing it zoomed to 1.85:1. When I asked the projectionist about this, I was told "it looks right". I told him it was wrong. He replied "It'd be too small...like watching it on TV." I finally told him to get his...

    Abel Gance's Napoleon - Optimum R2 DVD coming on May 28th?

    Any updated Napoleon news recently? I can't find anything giving an update on the Brownlow/Coppola/Universal/BFI/Photoplay rights issue. I saw the Coppola version once at the AFI in the Kennedy Center in 2004, and have been dying to see it again (hopefully in the 5 1/2 hour cut instead of the...

    Vertigo: Ridiculously complicated or complicatedly ridiculous? *SPOILERS*

    Would the film have been better if Hitch had left out Judy/Madeleine's flashback, and left the viewer to wonder until the climax to figure out what was going on? I'm not sure, but I thought Paramount asked Hitch to clarify the film because it was too confusing, which would have merited the...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: THE MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH

    If I remember correctly, the animation was made in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1. Disney typically matted their animation for theatrical presentation, but the proper ratio is not 1.75:1. I don't believe Disney typically animated for widescreen until the 1980s - Sleeping Beauty (Technirama), Lady...
