Just bought a Hitachi 51S500 for US$1700 on the wkend. Best bang for the buck for a large screen until LCD/DLP prices drop and bugs get worked out....sure the direct view Sony 34" widescreen offers a better pic, but it's only 34"...hey, for us guys, bigger IS better! ;) Joe
It is my first foray into widescreen (large) and i can't afford the hitachi 57s500...plus i realize DLP sets will be only improving over the next few yrs and dropping in price, so thought this might tide me over in the mean time. Just found this floor model today for $US1200/Toshiba 42H83...
RE calibration: just found this out. Professionally calibrated, TV sets look even better. (Go to www.imagingscience.com or call 561/997-9073 to find a trained technician near you.) Not only can the color-temperature and color-decoder settings be improved, which makes images even more rich and...
RE: hiring a tv calibrator....that's interesting....under what services in the yellow pages would I find a tv calibrator...perhaps under tv repair or something like that?
Choices? want to buy my first 51 or 57 tv: is crt lcd/dlp or rpt crt the route to go? I have an older 26 flat screen sony (and high end audio gear) and want to buy my first 51" or 57" widescreen HT tv but am indecisive as to which venue to pursue: rpt lcd/ldp or rpt crt based tvs. I've done...
I'm unsure which way to go in terms of which speakers to purchase (i just may end up buying a pair of the mmg and a pair of the ascend acoustics 170 and comparing them in different venues). My room: 14 x 20 Equipment: sony 999es sacd player SVS 20-39pc+ sub ...just sold my 2 channel rig...
I cannot afford their own center channel ($1500 US)and wonder if anyone can make any recommendations who already have gibbon 8 floor speakers. Many thanks Joe
I have a Unico (2 channel stereo analogue integrated amp) hooked up to a pair of Devore Fidelity Gibbon 8 floor speakers and a sony 999es (dvd/sacd/cd player)...I am considering buying a processor or multichannel receiver along with a new set of front speakers with center (the axiom line, for...
This is from their website....which is located in their catalogue on line...it sells for US$300. I'm trying to get a device to integrate a newly received SVS 20-39pc+ subwoofer into my 2 channel system. (i have a unico 2 channel integrated amp, a pair of gibbon 8 speakers and a sony 999 es...
Just remember that the jacks of most amps SUCK and a separate dedicated headphone amp is the way to go. I must suggest a great guy in Ontario....Dr.Lloyd Pepperton who has a Ph.D in electrical engineering (he's actually an emeritus prof at a local university who started making tube gear on...
my room is 13 wide x 35 deep and i have a pretty good setup --unico hybrd tube/ss integrated amp by unison research in italy. --devore fidelity gibbon 8 (ported) speakers --sony 999es dvd/sacd player. i listen to alot of good music (sacds) and rock dvds (styx, rush) and about 40% of HT...
While into HT, I'm more into good sounding home audio (styx, rush dvds) and rock, jazz and classical music. My room is 13 wide x 40 deep. I was also considering the svs 20-35pci used or a new svs 20-39pc+, and a used HSU vtf-3, but I can get a PAIR of the ravas for $700. My speakers...
