    Anyone remember Nick Pearson from Showcase-Signs?

    I bought a sign way back in 2004 from him and I believe he went out of business in 2007. I am looking for someone that does similar work in acrylic. Anyone? Thanks, Ed

    Sub placement under Center?

    I know I'm gonna hafta try different locations, but I really only have 2 options. Towards front right of the room, or under center. Will placing it under center, less than a foot, interfere with dialog? My gut feeling says yes, so I my as well pull out some more cable for the other location.

    Problem with Neflix?

    I posted this on the Studio and Manufacturer board, but think it may be more appropriate here: Just watched the rental "The Aviator", from Netflix.

    Monster Power 5000/5100/7000 differences???

    OK, I'm shoppin' and confused. A few hundered dollars between each, but is there any real advantages of one over the other? I mean just how much protection and stabilization does one need?
