I have been slowly upgrading my entire home theater setup and its finally time to get a new receiver. I've been using a JPB receiver that came with my original HTIAB. I decided on the HTR-5760 a while ago, because of the features and price, but I was wondering if (with the new year), Yamaha will...
question for SVS-Ron: The response to this sub seems to be pretty huge (fir a very good reason!) - For those of us who placed our orders this week / last week, will we be seeing our new PB10's shipped as soon as they are released? Or is there already a backorder-type-list because of the...
I can't say anything about Kilpsch since I've never owned anything from them... but I love my JBL E90's! I also have a center similar to the EC35 (the S-Center II) and I can't say enough good things about it. I got it like two years ago for something like $130 and it sounds awesome in movies...
I just wanted to say thanks to Edward J M for all of the great comments on the SVS PB10. You definitely know your stuff! I have been waiting to buy a new subwoofer, and have heard nothing but good things about SVS in general. All of your comments on this forum have convinced me to 'take the...
Thanks for the review! This is my favorite movie of the year, and ranks up on my favorite movies of all time list. I'm *really* looking forward to that commentary track.
Etronics is a great store that I've bought from multiple times... but their price on the E90's is still $20 more than Best Buy (on each speaker), plust with Best Buy if you get one thats damaged you can return it to the store instead of shipping them back which would cost a fortune. Plus, no...
It's true, Best Buy usually has outrageous prices on speakers... but not in this case. I bought these a few weeks ago from Bestbuy.com... The online price was $100 cheaper than the in-store price, and I got to pick them up from the store anyway! They are still this price on the site, so...
You mean this, Gerry? I'm sure they pop up on eBay from time to time... but more popular movies that have been out of theaters for a while will be more expensive. Still, if it's in perfect condition and is one of your favorite posters, it's worth it. :)
Nice comparison Eddie. :emoji_thumbsup: That definitely shows how the single sided posters look washed-out, although the digital camera made the shot of the double sided poster look over-saturated. Still, I think people will get the idea that double sided posters look a lot better :D
Gerry - the best source for double sided posters that I've found is eBay. Usually you can get them at about $15 each unless they are older movies or rare posters. If you have a movie theater near you that will sell / give you their used posters, that works too. I have about twenty posters, half...
Eric, your home theater looks *great*! I have the same projector, except it's the Studio Experience version. Isn't it great? :) I think I'm around 300 hours on mine. I love how you've created your screen. Right now I am using a DIY screen made out of blackout cloth that I just roll up when not...
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Demo-quality sound....check! Non-mainstream........check! This is a GREAT cd and an equally great surround mix :)
I watched this last night. Awesome movie, I liked it better than the second, but for some reason the sound was only average... In the beginning of the movie, like in the scene where they are fighting on the ceiling, the bass sounded very muffled to me... in fact I wasn't that impressed with the...
Eddie, I'd love to see photos of your lightbox... the links in your post don't seem to be working :frowning: I had the same problem with being able to see the lights a lot more clearly in the photos than in real life... like you said, it must be a strange camera thing.
Thanks for the nice comments everyone! Eddie - the bulbs don't get very hot at all. I doubt there is more chance of a fire hazard if the lightbox in the wall, rather than in a box hanging on the wall. Just be sure to make all your wiring safe and it'll be fine! I think that recessing...
Testing the rant tag... why would a rant need its own tag? I will see soon.
Sorry to use this thread as an actual place to test something - it looks like it's turned into a huge ongoing discussion somewhere in the last 121 pages :eek:
Hello everyone, I'm new here at Home Theater Forum. I've been hanging around DVD message boards and AVSforum and just realized that this forum exists. It looks like a great place :) I recently made my own movie poster lightbox using the amazing DIY instructions available here. I did make some...
Thats crazy! I've once bought a box set of an anime where I got two of the same disc, but never had discs completely missing before. A side note: Did anyone manage to get a Futurama Season 3 DVD without the bottom being crushed? Every copy in my local Best Buy has had some pretty bad wrinkles...
We recently got one in my small town. The town sent an 'instruction manual' out to all of the residents to tell us the proper way to use the traffic circle :D I couldn't believe it, it's not that hard! I think they are fine, but I don't see how they are any more safe than just a 4-way stop or a...
I bought this movie blind and was very impressed with it. Very lighthearted and fun... and Jack Black was hillarious :D I don't think he will ever top is performance in this movie, only because the part was written specifically for his personality. He was soooo much better than all the other...
I recently saw the movie for a 2nd time. What an amazing film, I can't wait until the EE is out on DVD! I have to hold myself together when Aragorn says the line 'Friends, you bow to no one' near the end. This scene is incredibly moving to me :D I love scenes in movies where characters get their...
