    What projector to buy?

    There will be a cabinet shelf system beneath the screen that is 26" tall and very wide. So with 7 foot ceilings that allows about a 111" screen at max. This only allows the screen trim to be 2" and wouldn't allow anything to sit on top of the shelf at all. Thoughts? With a 7ft ceiling and the...

    What projector to buy?

    The room is very large. Seating can be very far back with plenty of room to wii in front of it. How far away from a 106" screen would people typically wii?

    What projector to buy?

    Looking for a projector for a client of mine. They want to spend anywhere from $1500-$2500 on just the projector and screen. Here are the facts. Projector will be ceiling mounted and can be mounted anywhere, so throw distance isn't really a concern although less distance would be better. 16:9...

    What projector should I buy?

    So what's the lowest I can pay for something that will produce a reasonable 3d 1080p picture at a throw distance of about 12.5 feet or less and a screen size of about 84"? Is this just not enough of a throw distance to get a good pic?

    What projector should I buy?

    So you're saying I have too far of a throw distance? Couldn't I just move the projector closer? It's ceiling mounted anyways. Is there something I'm missing? Does that degrade the picture quality?

    What projector should I buy?

    First off thanks for the help you guys provide! I want a 3D 1080p 16:9 projector. I saw an epson powerlite 3010 and it blew me away so now I must have one too. I'm looking to spend as little as possible to achieve decent/good performance. It doesn't have to be as perfect as the 3010 but I want...

    Oh man, guys. When i said party you thought i meant a mini rave or whole house party. I meant like 10-20 people dancing in my living room, which is seriously like 15x20 ft. Sound quality and looks is important. PA speakers won't do. What about this sub...

    $200 for mains in a 2 channel setup with no sub.

    Looking for some mains that will be used for music only. All sorts of music. There will be NO sub so i will probably need 8's to get the bass that i need. Right? Hoping to use these for parties in my front room. The amp has not been decided, so power requirements/impedance are irrelevant...

    Car speakers for home audio???

    First off dual sucks even for car audio. Second: a speaker is a speaker. The only big difference between them normally is the ohm. Car speakers are normally 4ohm. Home speakers are normally 8ohm. But there are many home speakers that are 4ohm and many car speakers that are 8ohm or 2ohm and even...
