I'm one of the guys around here who harps on about the importance of your room. I declare it to be a full 50% of your sound system. I espouse how your speakers are the only piece of gear that comes anywhere close to being as important as the room itself. And most controversially, I frequently...

If you're someone who's looking for the absolute best Bang-For-Your-Buck complete home theater system that you can buy right now (July 2012), you've come to the right place! I pieced together this system for a new forum member in another thread. I went through a bunch of recommendations. And...

onkyousa.com has posted the official user's manual for the new TX-NR818 receiver, indicating that this new model should be shipping to retailers very soon. Some interesting tid-bits that might not be apparent just from the previously available product sheet or the specs and features listed on...

Just having a bit of fun here. Not meant to be a serious thread or comprehensive in any way. I just wanted to share my list of favourite headphones and earphones and why I like each of them :) Let's begin! 1) My Favourite Inexpensive Earphones: Shure SE215 In-Ear Monitors For me...

I recently brought home a 5 speaker set of Revel On-Wall M10 Front, C10 Center and M8 Surround speakers for an audition. I'm planning on some theatre changes this year and the plan includes on-wall speakers so that I can have a wall-mounted 70" LCD for lights-on TV and videogame viewing with a...

Hi folks. I'm pretty much just thinking "out loud" in this thread. Trying to make a decision. I've a chance to buy the Sharp 70" LC-70LE735U that I want rather strongly for my theatre. It's a local store. Only one in stock. And they're selling it off at a rather good price. Especially up...

SVSound's subs are big. They've got their sealed subs, which are more compact. But no matter how you slice it, SVSound's subs are sometimes just too physically large to fit into the space that you've got. Their cyliner subs are often a great option. Being only about 16" in diameter, the...

So I've got 3 displays. I really only use two of them. I've got my LG 55" 55LH90 in the living room, which serves me very well for gaming and casual TV watching with its full-array, local-dimming LED backlight and wonderful matte (not stupid mirror-finish glossy) screen! Given that my living...

Well I'll be interested to see how these interviews and the main article go, 'cause I'll be honest, I really don't understand what's going on between Gene and Paul and other critics and reviewers and Axiom these days. I really wish someone would just come out and speak plainly, because I'm...

Hey all. Just a bit of a rant/open topic for discussion here. Did I miss something, or are there ZERO matte screen displays anymore? For the person with a pitch black room, life is easy! You can get a front projection setup, you can use a plasma or, if you don't care about image...

I live just outside of Vancouver, BC, Canada. I recently had to visit a local Emergency Room. I won't get into all the details, but it wasn't life-threatening, so I wasn't a "rush" patient or anything. Just needed to see a doctor. So I had to wait about 2.5 hours from the time I arrived at...

So I'm just about ready to order a Pioneer KRP-600M. Price is good, but still pretty darn high (it's a 60" Kuro, afterall!) I'm basically just doing a double-check to make sure that I really, REALLY want this TV :p It's tough to commit to spending this much! (around $3500) So I'm thinking...

Copying DVDs and Blu-rays is easy. We know it. The Studios know it. Everybody knows it. Pop a disc into your PC's drive, rip an ISO with AnyDVD HD and you can have a perfect 1:1 copy on a blank DL disc or you can mount the ISO on a virtual drive and watch it straight off of the hard drive...

Man, I'd really like to gut my entire apartment. Strip it right down to the concrete and just rebuild and rearrange the whole layout! I'll be able to renovate at some point, but probably not as much as I'd like and certainly not right now! So if anybody would like to give me about $120,000...

If this is what 3D is going to be like, count me out! I am VERY glad that the IMAX 3D portion only lasted for the first 12 minutes of the film. There are some slightly (and I stress slightly ) cool moments with the 3D effect, but the technology is just not good enough, IMO. I've seen this...

Hey all. Before I get started, I just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to do or talk about anything illegal here. Recently, I lent some of my Pixar and Disney DVDs to my sister for her nephew to watch. I'm strongly into Blu-ray now - a HD snob really - so I'm lending out my DVDs...

Hey all. This topic I'm posting is more for a bit of fun discussion than really trying to seriously tackle this topic. So don't get too hot under the collar, ok? :p Basically, I take a gander at the video side of the home theater equation and notice all sorts of industry standards. Primary...
