What's the catch with these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beng-Channel-Theatre-Speaker-Mahogany/dp/B002QVOR8M/ref=sr_1_184?s=receiver-speakers&ie=UTF8&qid=1360714918&sr=1-184 This looks good and fits the budget...

Ignore. Thought I found something on amazon uk but it was the us site

Actually, I'm in that exact same situation. It's depressing. Running with 2 unused channels shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know if you just leave them open or put a terminator plug on the inputs. Whether you use two amps or one it will work the same. It's just more convenient, and costs...

Personally I would get one of the following: 1) XPA-5 + XPA-200 + another pair of surround speakers 2) Outlaw 7125 + another pair of surround speakers Either option leaves a lot of change from $2500

I agree with the others. The XPR is a bit of overkill. I'm using the UPA in an 18x25 room with 10 foot ceilings and even it will go as loud as you can stand.

Emotiva does sell trim plates in their accessories section that can change the silver endcaps on the XPA to black.

I can definitely relate to this. I spent 12 years with 1 Sony and 3 Yamaha receivers (budget to mid-range models) and never really felt I was getting all I should out of my setup. A couple of weeks ago I switched to 4 ohm speakers for my 5.1 setup. I knew my budget Yamaha receiver wasn't up...

Emotiva XPA-5 .1% THD Outlaw 7500 .03% THD If total harmonic distortion levels are a non-issue, Emotiva is the easy choice.

Can't say anything bad about Emotiva. I love my UPA-500. Just for comparison sake, take a peek at the highly regarded Outlaw amps. (outlawaudio.com) Emotiva XPA-5 .1% THD for $769 Outlaw 7500 .03% THD for $1599 Power output is same for both units. Which is the better option is strictly a...

Are the covers different depending on whether it's full screen or widescreen?

My definition hasn't changed, just trying to clarify it. The first time I recall that a consumer could walk into B&M retailer and walk out with a high definition diplay with an integrated or outboard ATSC tuner that he could go home an actually view hi def content with it was around 1997. Am...

For what it's worth, people using 1080i displays prior to 1997 would be categorized as innovators, not early adopters.

No need to get pissy. My definition is less narrow than the IT specific one you provided.

One more quibble. "Early Adopter" is not an IT term or a technology term. It is an economics termed coined by economists. The term in its intended use does not refer to a person's proclivities as in the phrase "this person is an early adopter and that person isn't". The term refers to a set of...

An early adopter doesn't have to be an early adopter on everything. If a "real" early adopter always buys the latest technology, then those "talking about hooking your HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players up to your $14,000 Sony Qualia" are not early adopters unless they have a hybrid vehicle in their...

By that definition, those who bought displays in the past few years aren't early adopters either because they haven't traded in for a display that accepts a 1080p input without deinterlacing to 1080i. In economics early adopters would be considered those who make an early switch to a new...

I think a significant portion of the consumer skepticism comes from the real world experience of the PS2 being a really lousy DVD player. Maybe the PS3 will be a better player/console combo than the PS2, but until Sony proves it in the real world , doubts will remain.

You clearly don't understand the concept of early adopter. The early adopters switched over to high definition displays in 1997. They didn't wait until 1999 to make the switch. At the time we were being told that you needed a firewire connection to be future proof. Then it was DVI, then HDMI...

Even in the theaters?

It appears that just the one line is chopped of. The rest of the cursing appears to all be there, but I can't guarantee it.

To Be Or Not To Be is a remake of a 1942 film starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. The '42 version was released on DVD last year.

I'll second this. The Mary Stewart trilogy is my absolute favorite version of the Arthurian legend. My dream is that someday this account will make it to the big screen.

The transfer is not stunning due to the age of the film. The story is universal enough that it still holds up well. For NASCAR fans there are a couple of nostalgic moments. The only complaint I have is a bad edit where a line is abruptly truncated. It goes "Does a bear sh" and cuts away mid...

There are a limited number of production lines available. Studios have to prioritize releases. For every release that is a repeat, that is a space in the production pipeline that can't be used for a title like this. As far as getting to it someday, it's been 10 years and I'm still waiting for...

Because they have found there is more demand for SE versions of titles that already exist. This forum is filled with "when is there going to be SE of..." threads. If people would stop all the double dipping maybe the studios would get around to releasing titles like this.

It doesn't matter how many whiz-bang features you get on a 1st gen machine (including 1080p output on BR players). Invariably, 2nd or 3rd gen players will likely have new features that will compel upgrades. When dvd came out, the machines didn't have components outs or progressive scan, yet...

Initial Blu-ray titles from Warner will possibly down -rez as well. The differences here are not between formats, but between studios. To infer an advantage to Blu-ray based on this is disingenuous.

They scrapped the dedicated BD player. They are still developing a dedicated HD-DVD player along with the universal player.

For those concerned about the 1080i adhesive just remember that you can buy a 1st gen 1080i Toshiba sticker AND a second gen 1080p Toshiba sticker for less total cost than a single first gen Sony 1080p sticker.

I agree. My purchase rate has dropped drastically since SE and TV mania has taken over the market. When the studios get back to getting their catalog titles out, I will start buying again. (For the record I'm at about 1500 titles in my collection)
