Thanks but I cant put a screen or projector system in that room. I just picked up the new Sony 50" LCD Display to hold me over for now.

I just bought the 37" version of this TV from Coscto for $1699 and love it! 8ms refresh rate, 1080p upconv, lots of tweaks for video in standard menus. This is really a nice set. The only negative is it has the worst speakers and remote which isn't an issue for me since I am using surround...

Wow I didn't even know you could do that ;) I will see if I can fix it for you.

That is a good article, but only scratches the surface of the problem here. We have about a dozen articles on this topic in our Specs & Formats section of the site. Check out the following related articles: The Case for NOT going above 0 dBFS For Digital Playback Systems Issues with...

Don't be too sure about that, especially with people who live in Florida. I just set up my uncle with a HT System which costs over $60k and he refuses to light control the room it is in. I can't say I blame him since the room is overlooking the Gulf of Mexico ;) This type of screen would...

Our own Mark Sanfilipo has provided some feedback to this article so I incorporated it. Here it is:

Nope I am not "sirious" :rolleyes:

It was mostly an oversight on my part since I don't normally mess with these encoding formats, NOR do I own an IPOD. If you are looking for a conspiracy you wont find one, other than complete lack of interest on my part for compression and portable music devices. If you want my official...

Also if you use cable elevators to lift your cables off the floor and reduce static electricity, it will work wonders:rolleyes: All kidding aside, save your money and invest in improving your room acoustics. You will go much further with improving your room acoustics than upgrading an...

Alan Parson's is a music band? I always thought it was a code name for moon laser project Dr. Evil setup to selectively destroy targets on Earth :D

Yes the T1's are satellite speakers. I refer to any speaker not capable of playing linearly down to 20Hz as a satellite speaker :D

YES! Despite the misconception that people like to spew out on forums, quality receivers from Yamaha, Denon and Pioneer Elite often outperform Separate dedicated processors in terms of processing power, bass management options, video connectivity, and often preamplifier performance. WE have...

I am pasting a PM I sent someone else on this very topic: Read the article I linked up in my forum post. Most multi channel music is recorded wrong. The recording engineers are recording in a nearfield environment for a single sweet spot. Our ears don't perceive sound the same way in front as...

Satellite speakers need not be dynamically limited. Take for example the RBH Signature T1 system which can handle 500 watts continuously and has a bigger soundstage than any conventional 3 way tower I have heard. Personally I prefer a more diffusive side sound field from a bipole/dipole...

#1 Yea thats a good one though sometimes its easier to pull teeth :D #2 Too time consuming and too much overhead for us but you are welcome to do this at your home and invite fellow forum members ;) #3 Small potatoes compared to search engine optimization which as you realized we are...

I would advise against using full range towers for rear speakers. You want the surround channels to be more diffuse and to envelop the listener NOT act like a point source with speakers sitting at ear level usually too close to the listener. Using multiple side/back speakers like a 7.1...

Good article, though I disagree with his assessment of midfi audio gear today vs yesterday. For $250 you can get a DVD player that has commendable CD playback, certainly much better than a 10 year old portable CD player. You can still buy a good two channel receiver or integrated amp. The...

Yes I agree this perception goes hand in hand with the Dumbing Down of Audio. People are into very accessible, non thought provoking music to casually listen too while they cook, clean, etc, but there still is a time and place for better things and you being a frequent member of this site, I am...
