    My Home Theater is Complete!! Almost?

    Hey, sorry it took me so long to respond. I thought I checked the box that would email me after responses. I kept checking my email thinking, I can't believe nobody has responded. First of all LaMarcus, thanks for the compliments. My wife does absolutely love it, I would have never thought...

    My Home Theater is Complete!! Almost?

    Yeah sorry I forgot to include the Sub on the original post. I've got the Paradigm PDR 12. Anyway, the sound is unheard on the outside. We insulated the garage VERY well and put in a new insulated door. Our old garage is now the nicest part of our house.

    My Home Theater is Complete!! Almost?

    Please view the pictures and give me your thoughts if you have time. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've finally finished my Home Theater to the point where I could post some pictures. This project took me about 1 month of actual work, the rest of the time I was just putting this project...

    Z1 and Z2 question

    Roveen_A As a current owner of the Z1, I really think that you would be thrilled with either projector. Like David said, if you have the money go for the Z2, but for 1000 less and the Z1 you would be thrilled. The main differences in the two models seems to be the 1300:1 Contrast ratio on the...

    Help, My Girlfriend Is Sick (alcohol related)

    In response to Jack Shappa, try either drinking a gallon of milk or possibly your urine. The bleeding should stop immediately. HOwever, if you puke green slime head straight to the ER

    Recording from Tivo to VCR

    Carl, its my experience that anything you can get onto Tivo will be easily transferred to VCR. After you record on Tivo, there is simply a “Save to VCR” link and you do it through the Tivo. Its so simple, my mom has an entire Wiggles collection of VCR tapes now for all my nieces and nephews.

    Axiom and Paradigm

    Cabreau, I compared those two speakers cause that’s what my father and I own. All I know is that for the money, the Axiom is a better performer. BASED ON PRICE ALONE, I believe you would have to compare the Paradigm Mini Monitor or something from the Performance line of Paradigm to the M22ti’s...

    Axiom and Paradigm

    John, I just posted a thread about Paradigm and Axiom then I read this. I currently own the Paradigm Monitor 7, and my dad owns the Axiom M22ti’s. He came by to set them up cause he’s still adding components, and I was disappointed in my speakers. Head to head, yeah they are probably about the...

    Paradigm Monitor 7's

    I currently have a pair of Paradigm Monitor 7 speakers, with the CC370 Center Channel powered only with a Denon 2803. My dad just received his set of Axiom M22ti (bookshelf) speakers the other night and he came over to set them up at my house so that we could compare. To me, the difference...

    Ok, how's this for my first 5.1 setup?

    Alan, I have seen a problem that probably will occur with your system that you have chosen. I don't know if you did all the research or you just through this thing together, but a huge problem is on the verge. Friends and family are going to spend way too much time at your house now...

    American Chopper on Discovery

    Give it time and Mikey will be the star of the show. Early on, you could see that this cat had a great sense of humor. Lately it seems he’s getting more air time, and he’s hilarious. I’m sure Paul Jr gets frustrated knowing that Mikey can get away with murder, and his dad just laughs. Paul...

    Video Switching and Upconversion??

    Denis, As most of my posts are, I can only comment on the stuff that I either have or have heard. I purchased the Denon 2803 AVR and have loved the ability to switch the audio and video simultaneously through the receiver. In my setup I havc my DVD player and my HDTV (Digital Cable) box both...

    An out of the box system or a component system?

    Check out the Axiom Audio website. My dad just got a set of speakers in and they are amazing for the price.

    Receiver as video switcher?

    Al, I currently have a Denon 2803 and use the component video switching through it. It does the switching at 100MHZ, and for my eyes, I have seen no loss in quality. I may be wrong but I think HDTV needs to be transmitted at 36MHZ?? Don't quote me on that, so it seems the 100MHZ my Denon has...

    What would you add to your theater?

    Well, I wasn’t expecting so many people to respond. That’s why I love this forum more so than all the other forums, because it seems that people here are willing to help others and not just compare one another’s home theater system. Each and every one of you gave a great suggestion, so thank...

    Paradigm ADP 370 vs AXIOM QS4 or QS8 Surround Speakers

    Still debating on what route to go for my surround sound speakers. As my current system consists of Monitor 7’s CC 370 Paradigm obviously suggests the ADP 370 speakers for a completion of this setup. However, if I would add the ADP 370’s, what speaker would I use for the 6.1 rear center...

    Denon 2803 vs Onkyo TX-SR601

    Thank you all very much for the responses. After doing further research I found that the Onkyo is definitely not worth the switch. You all made some great points, such as the fact that there is no pre-out in the scenario where I would use separate amps. Anyway, I always wanted to have a Denon...

    Denon 2803 vs Onkyo TX-SR601

    You think it would be worth the upgrade from the 2803 to the 3803? I wish I could sell the 2803 for anything close to what I paid, but I doubt that will happen.

    Denon 2803 vs Onkyo TX-SR601

    I just recently purchased the Denon AVR 2803. It is a great receiver and I've completely enjoyed it, that was until this weekend when I made a return trip to the store that sold me the Paradigm Speakers. I started looking at some of the Onkyo Receivers, and found that maybe I should have bought...

    Home Theater Packages

    Dan, as a former owner of a HTIB I would definitely say that it would be worth the buy. The system that I owned was the Panasonic SC HT80. When I added this to my 47" 16:9 TV, I really thought I was the Big Man On Campus. I enjoyed hundreds of movies with that system and my friends all loved...

    What would you add to your theater?

    For the past few months, I've been working on my Home Theater. Throughout this time, I've frequented the site and just now decided to register and post. In my construction, I always come to the thought of what am I going to wish I had done 6 month to 5 years down the road. What would I wish that...

    Best HDTV projector under $1400?

    Daniel, take a look at the Sanyo PLV Z1. True 16:9 projecter, can be had for around $1000. It is really great, and with reference to games. XBOX looks amazing. DVD and HDTV look incredible also. Check that one out and I can give you the email address of the guy I ordered it from. He works for an...

    Paradigm speaker suggestions?

    I was under the impression that in a 7.1 system, your sides should be dipole, and then have direct radiating speakers for your back surrounds. What about using the mini monitors for surrounds on a 5.1 system until I can afford the ADP 370's for the side surrounds on the 7.1 system? Then it would...

    infocus x1 or other projector?

    Fred, as I can't comment on the X1, I'll just stick with what I know of. The Sanyo PLV Z1. If you haven't looked into this projector, I would strongly recommend it. It is native 16:9, which IMO is the future. Cable looks decent, DVD's look awesome, and HDTV is hard to describe. Perfect? That...
