    7.2.4 GoldenEar and Paradigm - Thoughts?

    I am not really sure why he didn't recommend the Sat 50 or Sat 3 for surrounds. They are not full size bookshelf and maybe he doesn't think they are as good. The reason I am shooting for 7 is to get the most possible effect out of ATMOS and later DTS:X. It may be minor, but that's ok. I am...

    Pushy Theater Installers

    Yes TY. I have been an avid projectorcentral guy for many years. I am definitely going with the Sony 40ES for now. I was hoping for a five grand 4k projector this year, but that seems to still be a couple years out. 4k on such a large surface makes so much more sense than laptops and TVs, but...

    Pushy Theater Installers

    One other question. Anyone know a way that I can get someone to do an interior design for me only? Then I could buy my own stuff and go from there. I feel like people who do this all work for theater installers so you have to pay them and a middle man.

    Pushy Theater Installers

    I did as recommended and asked them to slow their roll a bit. My budget is more like 20k. 5k for panels and led lighting a basic component rack 3.5k for projector and screen Sony 40ES and an elite curved. Going cheap until 4k comes down in price and the 40ES looks pretty great for price. 2k...

    Pushy Theater Installers

    These guys are big B&W and Martin Logan re-sellers with a lot of push for the 802s of course. Personally I was leaning towards the RBH SX systems. I like the looks for the price and they have great performance ratings/reviews.

    Pushy Theater Installers

    Yeah that makes total sense. This was their first day out. No components selected nothing. Just a basic on the spot ballpark quote. They want 10% before they even get back to me with any design recommendations or equipment recommendations. This was my first meeting with both of them.

    Pushy Theater Installers

    Gheez. I decided to have some theater companies come out to help me finalize the room design and lighting in my theater and maybe make some recommendations on equipment. Wow was that a mistake. Within an hour they were handing me a 50k quote and telling me to pay 10% down now. Same thing at two...

    EgglestonWorks Andra III Question

    Ya that is 9k just for the L/R fronts. I would have to find a matching center and I could probably use my KEFs for surrounds, but I agree at that price its probably better to go with a full set of matching. I have not seen anything in the 10k range that is anywhere near as nice looking, but of...

    EgglestonWorks Andra III Question

    There is a local person selling a pair of these beautiful speakers for 9k. I LOVE the way they look and the reviews seem great, but I have a couple Qs. I am looking for home theater focus about 3k cubic feet. What would I need to pair with these for a 7 speaker surround and what about a sub...

    Getting Atmos Ready

    I am really liking the Power Sound system. I am a bit concerned about the horn. I hate Klipsch speakers so I guess it scares me off a bit. I don't see any reviews on these yet, but the specs look great. I am going to wait a week or two since there are several people who seemingly just ordered...

    AURO-3D Auriga AV Receiver Preview

    Price Ouch Does Atmos have anything similar with upgrading content to play on all speakers? Lots of old content and it would be nice to hear it in a different manner. Gives you a reason to re-visit some old favorites.

    Getting Atmos Ready

    So after looking at all three recommendations above. I would have to choose the Bone-crushing for not so obvious reason. They look like pro speakers. I know looks don't always translate to performance and I wouldn't buy on that alone, but I also don't want something that looks like I picked up...

    Getting Atmos Ready

    Great recommendations. I have not done much research on Emotiva from a speakers perspective. I am very aware of their amps. I know there is a lack of content right now for Atmos and that the competitors are still working on their options, but I am okay with that. I don't mind buying another...

    Upgrading Screen and Soon Projector

    I won't lie. I like the curved screen purely for the looks. As long as is does not noticeably detract from the image I would go that route. I am glad to see others agree with me on the thin bezel thing. It made no sense to me from the get go. I have very dark blue walls, ceiling, and carpet. I...

    Getting Atmos Ready

    So my theater room is finally almost finished. Soundproof door going up today and carpet comes in later this week. Hang some wall panels and a screen and I am ready for speakers. When I first started looking in March I was only thinking 7.1 system, but Atmos has got me interested and now I am...

    Upgrading Screen and Soon Projector

    So I am in the market to get a new screen here in the next month or two. I have been around the projector block for a while, but I am considering doing something less conventional. I just finished building my new room out and I am toying with 4K as well. I decided to switch up the conventional...

    Should I replace my PJ lamp?

    One thing I did not see mentioned here is the reasoning to why they put the timers and shut off on lamps. The whole point of this "feature" is that they are trying to reduce the risk of damage to your projector. If the lamp were to explode in your projector it could cause harm to it. Have I ever...

    Couple PJ questions, oddly shaped house

    Just a one more thing to keep in mind. Make sure you are buying a 1.1 or less gain screen. You do not want a high gain screen in your case since you are way overpowering the light output in a light controlled room. Assuming you went the 84" route here is a couple calcs for you. Epson 5030UB...

    Couple PJ questions, oddly shaped house

    There are a few projectors that could be rear-mounted in your situation and hit 120" screen. Your total distance is about 115 inches. Maybe a little less (remember the length of the projector itself 125-10=115). With a throw distance of 115" there are a few projectors that can produce a 120"...
