FWIW, my RXA3010 I bought as a new scratch and dent 5 or 6 years ago is still going strong. Powers 5 of my 7.1 setup, using outboard amp for the mains. I’m looking to go to Atmos as well, otherwise I’d keep it indefinitely. It replaced a Yamaha receiver I’d used for 20 years. YMMV

Well after all the back and forth, I went back to my Magnolia store, and he had a Sony 285ES open box for a steal. What the He!! You only live once, right? Convinced myself it would delay upgraditis, we’ll see how that goes. Now to test-n-tune, over to that thread I go...

Sorry if I hijacked you, I think I stayed on topic though. The consensus seems to be that better picture quality can be obtained by a better 1080p projector than an entry level 4K one. At least in the low-mid price ranges. For me as a first-timer, the Epson seems to be the best option. For...

You had to go and mess with my plan...that reviewer was adamant that the $700 difference was worth it even without the 4K pixel shifting....hmmmm... Any other opinions out there? Using the $2399 that I can get the Epson for as a max price?

This will be my first pj. I know there’s a learning curve that I’m on that requires actually having a projector to continue with. Given the pricing and video standards that still need to be settled, and my inclination to prefer a laser over a lamp, I thought a more entry level pj that would...

My use will be movies/Netflix etc streaming. Everyday TV will likely remain the 65” plasma for a while that’s on the wall currently. No gaming. The Sony can be had for $1700, so what would I have to spend to get a better projector. Epson 5040/6040? Any JVC’s? Light control isn’t great during the...

So the Sony hw45es that’s comfortably under $2k might be a better option than I thought after all. A good learning experience for a first projector setup anyway..

So, you’re suggestion is to continue waiting until the dust settles on the resolutions standards before committing too heavily? I’m researching now to add a projector to a family room that I can make dark for movies for a visual impact to match the audio that’s (almost) there. $1500 for a good...

I would agree with the recommendations to upgrade to something that allows further upgrades easier, that is, something with pre-amp outputs. (Almost) any separate 2 channel amplifier will give you more horsepower for your speakers, and make them sound better. Rome wasn't built in a day, and few...

Well I hate to read this. As a relative newbie here, I haven't learned everyone's personality, and what might set them off, or who can take it, etc. I was in one of the threads that got under his skin, and I see his point, but still, I hate to see a (generally) positive and active member leave...

Doncha HATE that?? Bunch of judgemental, non-appreciative, prigs!! How can you be expected to maintain the standards to which you wish to become accustomed?? Did I catch an 's' on the end of 'newborn' in that other post?? You had twins?

Hey Irv, just for the record, I have the greatest wife ever!!!! :D that's all - Glad it was a great day for ya, enjoy yourself, once you can move again, obviously... :)

Congrats!! We all need new toys on occasion, just to keep us young, and when we can 'justify' them as 'for work' it's a nice bonus!!! Hard to justify new speakers as a 'work necessity', but I aint giving up!!! The equipment needed to prep the ground for that brand new theater, though..... ;)

Yep, but I try not to focus on which traits....buahahahaha It's no secret there are plenty of bad ones. Most people are too smart to do that job for that amount of money. The ones that are fulfilling a call on their life aren't enough to do the job, so there are some (plenty) of scumbags. You...

Line crossed, dude! Have your opinion, allow Irv to have his, but keep control. As I stated, I would have handled it differently, but it doesn't mean Irv has a deformity or deficiency because of how he handled it....... ...just means he was wrong, that's all :D

ok, I get it...never mind...Collect isolated incidents from all corners, compile them, and then State as fact that all cops are the same. Speaking as a former cop that doesn't fit under that umbrella.....go away!! :) (Civil enough, Steve81??) I did like the one about the 'secret trick' to make...

My first car was a '76 Nova. Loved it, but what a pig for a v8!! oops, I said pig..... Pulled over 'doing nothing wrong'? How many times have I heard that - as previously stated, if I couldn't articulate a reason for the stop, I wouldn't do it. Just as there's no reason you can't drive around...

Not me!!! The consequences of having answer to that complaint would have been too great. I did have a few hotties try to use their 'feminine wiles' to reduce the consequences of their actions, and then become their true selves when that wasn't gonna work. That was actally funny, especially if a...

I was a cop for a while. I found out that putting out fires that will restart next week, and not being able to work on real solutions is not for me, however, my time as a cop was good for me in many ways. To the cop-haters - If you brush all cops with the same brush, you're as bad as anyone...

Congrats!!! I have the previous version - 3010. I also saw your 40CRT. We replaced a 40" Mitsu, and never was I so glad to take such a load off the foundation of my house!!!! Replaced with a 65" Plazma :D
