Exactly. A really good transfer will look great (even in standard def.) By contrast, a poor transfer will not benefit from the hi def format.

For a mere $140, I was able to get a pair of Mirage Omni 150 bookshelves. These will allow me to hear the same kind of omnidirectional/point source imaging as the Jazz speakers for a lot less. Amazingly, their -3dB point is 55Hz, which is (slightly) lower than that of my Polk Monitor 50...

I thoroughly enjoyed it. As for picture and sound, those are "transparent" in the sense that I only notice them if they are not good, so they must have been.

I like that one. I wouldn't say blown away by it, but I definitely like it.

I started to respond here, but decided it was getting into steam vent territory.

I agree. No smiley required.

My, that's just lovely.:rolleyes: FWIW Eminem is a racist (specifically, he openly despises gays.)

I am confused. Are there actually people who imagined that there was a difference?:confused:

Sign me up. When I am at work, I spend way more time hanging out on the internet (here, for example:p) than I do actually working.

No, they don't. They sound like they do, though!:)

Yes, they have a 30-day money-back guarantee. I may just try them (I can afford them fairly easily after the first week in December.) Not that I need any new speakers, you understand, but those just exude "coolness factor".:cool:

They look nice. They might sound nice (never guaranteed.) No mention of price, though.

I don't care if the design is old, but I obviously care how it sounds. I was hoping they might sound as good as they look (I love how they look), but maybe not. The design seemed like it might offer the potential for impressive imaging, and I love the "cognitive dissonance" produced by hearing...

Anyone know anything about them? They have speakers called Jazz that are 3" diameter X 38" tall cylinders with an omnidirectional radiation pattern, a single driver (crossoverless), and a -6dB point of 40Hz. At the current $300/pr sale price, I am seriously considering buying a pair "sight unseen".

Weird. On my system (Philips direct-view HD CRT, Sony DVD player, Component), movies tend to look better the newer they are.:confused:

That makes sense. My 10s do sound better in the larger stereo room, but seem oversize even there. (My entire apartment is only 600 sq. ft.)

Remember the Bay City Rollers?:rolleyes:

Try selling that door-to-door in Compton.:D

That is what I did, also. I still think that a second set of BP8s would have been a better choice in such a small room. As I said, bass extension/strength is the only difference I have ever heard between them. In fact, I am sufficiently satisfied with the BP8s as mains (and sufficiently...

Yes, I run them full range. I think they would do better in a larger room (My HT is 10' sq., my living/dining area where I sometimes use them in stereo is 20' sq. total.) They are intended for full-range use. With a sub, smaller speakers would make a lot more sense (the BP8s, for example, sound...
