    sony vpl-hw50es or sony vpl-hw95es or ?, and with which screen?

    I can't overemphasis the importance of dark/flat paint colours, as BMX has said. I have the HW50 and I installed it into what used to be a bedroom with dirty white walls and white ceiling. While the picture quality was good, the light reflectance in the room was unbearable. I have since torn...

    Onkyo vs Sherbourn

    Ok, thanks for the input. I will pass on his offer. I was fairly impressed with my equipment anyway, and it should be even better when I finish renovating the home theater room and add acoustic treatments.

    Onkyo vs Sherbourn

    Through my continued work on my home theater, I have come into contact with a local audio specialist with whom I've been bouncing ideas off of. He also has a small shop where he sells (in his opinion) only high end equipment. I am currently running an Onkyo NR5010, and he is trying to push a...

    HT Layout

    It's not so much about looks as it is about getting a larger screen. I just want to make sure I'm not significantly sacrificing audio performance for 20" more screen. I'll check out these articles you've linked. Thanks!

    HT Layout

    To clarify, I would like to have 120-130" screen, which I would mount to the face of the bulkhead, it would be AT, and come down infront of the center channel. I would then have a TV on the wall behind the screen.

    HT Layout

    I am currently in the process of gutting what was briefly my home theater room so I could rebuild with sound proofing, hiding all the wires etc. I have the opportunity to try a few different layouts and wanted to get the opinion of some people here. The pic shows 3 scenarios, I tried to use...

    Dedicated HT Room advice

    Thanks for the advice. I'm currently in the process of completely gutting the room down to the foundation. I uncovered some water issues so I'm glad I did. My plan is to insulate the exterior walls with Roxul R14, and the interior walls and ceiling with safe and sound. I'll use a 5/8" fire...

    Dedicated HT Room advice

    I wanted to reach out again to the Audioholics community for some advice on my HT room. As some of you may recall, a few months ago I purchased a bunch of equipment (see sig) for a new HT room (22x14x7.5) approx. My original plan was to get the equipment, enjoy the room as is for a while and...

    How to cope with waiting...

    Yea, Ill stick to some light gaming and shows for now, I have a few movies I'm saving until it's all ready to go though (3D Avengers, Star Trek, LOTR etc). I've got a 4 and 2 year old that are helping keep me busy too. My dad saw some of my stuff and now he wants to buy new equipment too, that...

    How to cope with waiting...

    Just wondering how you guys cope with the wait on your equipment orders??? I know I'm not nearly as committed as some people on the board and having to wait weeks/months for stuff to arrive is just killing me a little each day, can't imagine what it does to audiophiles? I'm still missing my...

    New projector, setup question

    World of difference! It's nearly perfect now, thanks for the info. I feel kinda dumb, as soon as you mentioned not being square, I looked at it from that POV and it was noticeably off to the left (when looking straight on). Made all the difference. Do you happen to know if that 3D mode...

    New projector, setup question

    Just purchased a Sony HW50 projector, installed it tonight. I'm curious about a couple things... 1. When I'm using 3D mode on the projector, there is an extra little whine from the projector, it doesn't sound like a fan, more like a quiet, but noticeable squeal. After watching a movie for a...

    Side speaker shelving

    Ah perfect, I had a track light installed with those things in the ceiling, should have thought of that. The speaker is 16lb so these will do the trick. Thanks!

    Side speaker shelving

    Well, the way I have it now is because the stud spacing in the room is so far apart, I screwed a 3 foot trim board to the wall from stud to stud and then put a couple screws into that to hold the speaker up, but I have a friend who builds cabinets and was going to make me some shelves which...

    Side speaker shelving

    Quick question... If you have a shelf that is longer (wider) then the dipole speaker, would this compromise your output? There will be about 4 inches of shelf on both sides of the speaker. Thanks!

    Running cable to a conditioner

    If I install a GF breaker, would this accomplish the same thing for the whole circuit vs just the outlet?

    Running cable to a conditioner

    I'm currently in the process of setting up my equipment (as it arrives), and I do have a question about the APC conditioner and running lines to it. I have a typical 7.1 set up, LCR and sub at the front, sides and rear surrounds, and my AV equipment is on a stand at the back of the room behind...

    Need Advice, new HT 15k budget

    Installed the screen from my brother, 98" manual pull down. I still couldn't center it in the room at that size while using the face of the bulkhead, but it's close. Will surely get the job done until I renovate the room and I've got about 30" for the center speaker and sub underneath...
