    Crossover question

    When setting the crossover on a sub, are you setting the upperbound limit, or lower bound? That is, if you set the crossover to say, 75, the sub-woofer won't play frequencies above that? Or do subs come with both upper bound and lower bound knobs?

    Lens system question

    I have had 3 projectors, 2 Sanyo and 1 Optima. With the 2 Sanyos, once I had it focused I could adjust the zoom and it would stay in focus. On the Optima, if I adjust the zoom I have to re-focus. I assume this is a difference in the lens system but I can't find any info on it. If I get another...

    A Question for 3D Nuts Who Have Given Up 3D

    We were there for some shopping and we checked out the 4K LEDs and OLEDs. I've always considered Visio to be the brand you buy if you don't have the bucks for better. They've raised their game, though the Samsungs and LGs are still better. The LCDs for Samsung and LG seem better than what my...
