Thanks for your replies. Frogpond and Eric, do you have any suggestions on what type of screen best fits the sanyo product. I'm looking to go with a 108" to 120" electric screen. Is the simple matte finish going to work okay or is there something better?

Jim, I've read the review by projectorcentral .com and I'll have to check out the other review you suggested. Thanks for your help again. There are some many nice units out there it is really difficult to choose. What are you running in your home, if I can ask.

Thanks for your help Jim. I was really hoping for the larger screen, but I very new to this stuff thats why I really need your input. Thanks

Sorry for this simple question, but how do you decide one a screen size. I want to put in as large a screen as possible, because bigger is always better. But I not want it to be so large that is uncomfortable. My Theater will be in the basement and has 7' ceiling. The first row of two rows...

I don't know if this helps any but I just finished building my basement also. I live in Northern Indiana so I am in the snow belt. I also have low ceilings of (7'). I just layed the pad (sun burst) and carpet right down on the floor. I went with a Shaw carpet that was made up of recycled...

Its time to take the projector plung, and having a time of making the final discission. For the past 6 months I've been able to see little but have been reading a lot of reviews and comments. I'm liking the Sanyo Z5 and in my room it could work well, since I'm able to control all the lighting...

John and Seth, Thanks for all your great help. I spoke with Eric over at SVS and I have a ( B/stock) PB12plus/2 on order. It should be here wednesday. Talking with Eric we decided it was still best to go with this model. I will be taking the bass plate off and laying on its side with the...

Thanks Seth, but will it be okay for the 704's to be just infornt of the 16-46's

I've been looking at SVS web site as I've read your suggestions. Checking out the cylinders and see how they would fit. Is there a problem if you lay these things down on the floor? Will it take any thing away from there performance? Or if I stood them up in opposing corners on either side...

I quite a Newbie when it comes to the HT experience. I have written a few threads and gotten a lot of great responses. I have completed the build on my HT room and need to put some new toys in there to play with. I thought I had the subwoofer issue figured out a month ago but the wife has...

Thanks Dennis, I'll check that out.

Iv'e been in the market for a front projector for a few months now. Iv'e run the through the maze of different units and finally getting it narrowed down. I have some questions and hopefully I can finally make a discission. In the case of the Optoma HD72 vs the HD7100 Is the Texas Inst...

Dave Like Rob I'm just finishing up a HT room. Other then all the B&w speakers for a 7.1 set up, I'm still in a quandary for the power to drive them. I was looking at the new releases from Marantz "SR8001 & SR7001". Since all I have right now is my old Denon PMA-500v ( 2 Channel) with a Luxman...

Thanks everyone for your response. As I try to piece my HT system together (with a great deal of education from this forum) I learn that the more I find out the more I really don't know. I was really looking hard at the Panasonic PT-AE900U but everyone was saying how DLP's are the way to go...

Does any one have any opinions on the Benq PB8250 projector. I was just at a Benq dealer and he was acting like he was doing me this great favor of selling me his projector for $1900. I just found it on line at the "projector people.com" for $1499. If any one has seen, used or owns one...

Thanks all for your input, it will help a lot. Arvin, since you've look and compared a few of the screens, wat qualities were you looking for and what screen fabric type did you choose? Thanks, John

Hi all, I'm still trying to feel my way around my HT build and trying to determine what kind of screen to get. I'm interested in a electric with an inferred remote. HDTV 106" (52"x92") screen size. This will be mounted into an open rafter in my basement. Which screen manufacture gives...

Thanks Tommy I will have to check that out. Just looking at it right now. How would you compare it to the AV123 Emotiva amp LPA-1. Right now with the cash I've been/will be dolling out,it seems to never stop (there is always something nicer for just another; one or two hundred bucks). I...

Looking for a high contrast ratio DLP Projector with a 1500 to 2000 lumins with a great imagery all wraped up for around $2000. Also would love to have a direct hook up from my PC to my HT audio ,for music down loads that could be interfaced by a lap top for programing lists. "Life is to...

Okay, you got me ready to drop my money on the Emotiva LPA-1; I read a bit about there processor and follow quite a few of the threads about it also. Most of the time they are talkig about the amp and not the processor. Is the LMC-1 pretty good. I know Adam Stoltz said in another thread that...

John, Thanks for the input, I would have reply sooner but I had to get through a list of "Honey Do's". I think I'm liking the Outlaw 970/7075. I was impressed with the Emovtiva LPA1 but was concerned with only 5 of the 7 channel pushing 125watts and channel 6&7 pushing 50watts. I"m just...

Thank you Adam and John for your reply. The speakers I have B&W 704's up front B&W Dipoles in the middle B&W in walls in the rear B&W HTM-7 for the center John, you gave me some good advice in my quest for the proper sub for my theater and will soon be ordering SVS PB12plus/2. Is...

I was just getting ready to purchase Marantz's SR8500 for my listening and Movie pleasure. Then someone suggested that I looking at separate components for just a little bit more . Outlaw was suggested. How would they stack up to each other and is there any other suggestions or ideas on...

Woo, I can feel the excitement and energy just flying at me from my monitor. Now you know why I labled this thread the "Madness", because after every turn, you say " that guys got something there". You guys are killing me and I would like to say thank you for that. The one end of my basement...

Jay, I just checked my e-mail and got a reply back from Eric at SVS. He gave me three very nice choices; PC Ultra, PB12 Ultra and the PB12plus/2. Pending the placement, I can probably work any of the three into my room. I personally don't mind the looks of the cylinder and all three are in...

Thanks to everyone. I shot a e-mail over to Erik @ SVS yesterday morning with my room dimensions, and had a response back already last night.... Man, if there subs work as hard as they do then I"m at the right place. I ended up faxing over a diagram of my room and can't wait to find out...

Sorry, that last line should have read "It doesn't have to blow me through the back wall"

I don't want to say that its the loudness but the fullness that I'm going after. The pecussion of the cannons from Tcycovskis 18th overture as it developes. The beating of the heart as Freddie Kruger removes it from some unsuspecting soul. It does have to blow me through the back wall, but...

Thank you to everyone who replied, the info and your opinions where great. This morning I did a quick sketch of the NSD/2 on the floor to get an Idea of how large it will be. I think the wife will want me to mock up a 3D cardboard version so she can get the full scope. John you commented that...
