Thanks for the input everyone, Im glad I am getting pretty consistent answers from multiple forums. Originally I was torn between the Onkyo 708 and the Marantz 5005, but I have decided to fork out the extra money for the Onkyo 709 and the Multi eq XT as well as a few other features that came...

Thanks for the response Gene. I was pretty worried that 5.1 and high-end would be contradictory, but you certainly confirmed it for me. I noticed that the 709 was the only Onkyo model that had the Multi EQ that you're referring to, but I guess I didn't know very much about the technology itself...

Greetings all, I will try to be short since I am in the process of learning a heck of a lot from the different posters around these forums. Here is the link to my original post in the newbie board. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/314807/our-3000-man-cave-looking-for-construvtive-criticism My...

Thanks Jim, I just assumed the contrast ratio meant that the 8350 would have slightly deeper blacks than the 3010, I didn't mean to quantify the difference since you're right in saying that those specs are usually meaningless when it comes to the advertised rating. After doing a little more...

Jim, I wanted to ask why you would prefer more brightness in a projector over contrast ratio. I only asked based on the specs of the 3010 since it has a higher lumens rating. 10% gain in luminosity is worth the 20% loss in contrast ratio?

This thread isnt too old so I thought I would post my words of encouragement. First of all I think we are going to have an extremely similar setup. I will probably get the exact same projector if not one of their new ones coming out next month. The speakers and even the design of the room is...

Robert, I'll probably build the screen if it isn't too complicated, but after reading that thread you linked, I really don't have much confidence in my DIY capabilities anymore. The most I've done is create a ported box for some subwoofers for my car with some installers from Best Buy when I...

Thanks for the responses guys. Jim: 1) What is your budget for projector? I had originally budgeted $1300 because that was how much the 8350 costs, but I'm really not in a hurry to complete this because I want it to be an awesome setup. We wouldn't be putting any of this together until November...

Alright, First and foremost, I want to extend a thank you to the active posters here. Before making this post, I certainly spent a few hours just reading through some of the posts and I have already learned an incredible amount compared to what I knew yesterday :) With that being said, let me...
