I just did now. They just review this projector fairly recently. They're saying its very similar to the 5010, but comes with all those extra goodies I would of had to buy separately, and is THX certified, which I like. Projectorreviews.com said in THX mode, you'll get a better more accurate...

I have looked for LED projectors and was wondering why I didn't see more LED projectors when I first starting looking. I do like them, but for the cost of them right now, I can't really swing it. I've decided on the Epson Pro Cinema 6010. I saw it in action on a 103 inch screen in Eco mode and...

Started work in my basement. It really is a bare basement right now, I bought lumber for the beams which I didn't put up yet and just finished putting up some sealant on the concrete walls. As far as a projector, I've decided on the Epson Pro Cinema 6010 that will be shinning on a 110-120 inch...

Good info, thanks. The bulbs for the Epson are 100 bucks cheaper then the Panasonics as well. I'm definitely more into the Epson now thanks to Jim and what you just told me. You guys are a huge help, thanks a million. Also with regards to my other question, what the difference between the 5010...

Nevermind, I found the 5010 on Epsons website. Which leads me to my next question. What the hell is the difference between the Pro Cinema 6010 and Home Cinema 5010? Specs are identical, except the 6010 comes with 3D glasses, ceiling mount, and is black.

Why isn't the 5010 on Epson's website? They only have a 6010???

Yes I have and more. I've also read that the brightness is greatly reduced in 3D mode with the 3D glasses on which is why I'm asking about the screen gain. I'd say probably 12-15 feet from the screen. The room is 27 feet in length, but unfortunately has low 7.5 foot ceilings.

oooh I see. I've been looking at the Epson 5010 you mentioned and I like it a lot. How do you think that would handle 3D at a screen size that big? What type of screen do you recommend? What gain rating? I was thinking 1.3-2.0 but I have no idea really lol

You greatly caught my attention lol. Why wouldn't it be recommended if it's the better projector? I'm very curious

So you'd recommend the PT-AR100U over the PT-AE7000U? While the PT-AR100U has a higher lumins rating, the PT-AE7000U has a much higher contrast ratio. I also like the 3D that comes with the PT-AE7000U and the 480Hz refresh. If this isn't bright enough, are their any other projectors with...

Thanks for the reply. The specs on the panasonic site said up to 300 inches. The projector will probably be 13-14 feet from the screen, in a dark, dedicated home theater room. Would getting a screen with a higher gain rating help with this? It won't be used on a consistent basis, so 1200 hours...

My budget for a home theater projector is 3 grand. I've been looking at the Panasonic PT-AE7000U. It fits the bill nicely, seems to be getting A LOT of great reviews, but I'd like to hear what you guys think about it or if there is something better for the price. Secondly, what screen do you...

Oh god. Odd's I probably won't be doing that. That's 4 times the cost I planned on spending. Other's will just have to deal with the sound in the house lol. If I had the money, I definitely would, but that's A LOT more then then the anticipated 10-12 grand

Double Drywall = double the cost, no? If that add's up to be too expensive, then it looks like everybody in the house is gonna have to deal and brace down the china cabinet lmao. Tomorrow I'm gonna start cleaning out the basement and taking everything out of it and buy the lumber. I'll take a...

This room certainly sucks lol. My equipment is a pair of Paradigm Monitor 7 v3's, paradigm CC-370 v3, with ADP-370 v3 surrounds, PW2200 v2 subwoofer, and a Marantz SR 7500 receiver. I'm not too worried about this room anymore since I'm gonna be building a theater room in my basement hopefully...

The walls and ceiling will certainly be heavily insulated. I'm talking more about the design of the room itself that would make the room better acoustically for the sound in the room, rather then preventing the sound traveling to other rooms.

Okay, that makes everything a lot easier. The video attached below is a good idea of how I'd want the room to look, minus the lighting in the floor and under the screen etc. The speakers won't be built into the walls either. The room in the video is about the same size as the room I'm going to...

Okay awesome, I'm gonna be determining how about how much I'm gonna need as far as lumber and drywall tomorrow. The room is gonna be fairly basic, I just want the acoustics of the room to be as good as I can get them. I'd say having 1 or 2 slightly raised levels for seating is the most elaborate...

My basement is completely unfinished, so it needs a lot of work. The basement will likely be split into 2 rooms since the stairs come down right in the center of the basement and I'd like one room dedicated for the home theater while the other half will be for whatever else we need. I just got...

Are they really? How about that lol. What models use L.E.D and how much do they run?

Pardon my ignorance, but this is something I have been wondering. I know the bulbs on projectors only last a certain amount of time until they blow, and they aren't the cheapest things to replace. I can't help but wonder, why don't projector manufacturers use L.E.D bulbs in projectors? A 60 watt...

The room I currently have my home theater system in completely and utterly sucks as far as acoustics go. There are so many dead spots and hot spots it's ridiculous. With the layout of the room, it's nearly impossible to find a good location for the entire system. One wall has a door right smack...

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm gonna look into it for sure. Maybe when I get it underway, I'll post some pictures for critiquing

I hear ya. Everybody has to profit with anything retail. I have a co-worker that used to deliver the meet to where wendy's made it's burgers. What he told me was unbelievable. The cost of a 10 dollar meal at wendy's actually cost them about 1/16th of a penny to make!!! You sir, are the man. I...

That's very good and comforting to hear. Especially since a pair of the S6 speakers would be a tad under 6 grand, and the S8's would be 9 grand. I guess the biggest difference is price.

That's why I want my main speakers to play all but the lowest frequencies. Depending on the speakers, I'd like the crossover frequency at 60Hz, 80Hz max. I'm enjoying this conversation, I'm learning quite a bit. My current set up are a pair of monitor 7 v.3's, matching center (CC-370 I believe)...

Now that one in the link looks monstrous! Is their a trade off with extreme high excursion? There usually always is a catch with these things sealed boxes offer tighter more accurate sound at the expense of SPL, ported gives more SPL but USUALLY not as good sound quality, larger drives tend to...

I know six 8" drivers have more cone area then a single 15, thus should be able to move more air, creating more bass, but like you said, cone area isn't the be-all end-all of drivers, which is why I am asking that question, hoping maybe somebody would know the driver's peak to peak excursion on...

My first question is regarding 2 Paradigm subs that are very similar in cost, by seem vastly different in design. The Sub 25 using a single 15" driver and the Sub 1 using six 8" drivers. They would be used for both music and movies pretty evenly. Which of these 2 subs would you guys say comes...

Actually awesome you posted that. Eventually at some point, I'm gonna want/need to add to 60' displays to my DJ rig, that Panasonic seems to fit the bill nicely.
