    Panasonic PT-AR100U Projector Preview

    I guess I was making a commentary on both. But really, I was hoping their new $2000 projector would have a couple of extra things beyond the 4000. I think the 4000 is probably in my future if they continue to sell it, and I hope that it drops in price. Anyone have a used unit they would like...

    Panasonic PT-AR100U Projector Preview

    Dear Panasonic, Why have you removed the motorized zoom from your new product? I won't be spending $1500 more for 3D that I'll only use twice a year. I already have a dark room for a theater and I don't need 1000 more lumens in a less flexible product. At least your more flexible, two year...

    Netflix Imposes 28% Rate Hike on Existing and New Customers

    I'll be cancelling my Netflix subscription before the next renewal for sure. I used both BD discs and streaming. Honestly, I was never impressed with the streaming because not very many movies had 5.1 audio. There were a lot of TV series, but no current seasons were carried. I do plan to...

    SpectraCal Announces Automatic Calibration of Panasonic HDTVs

    If color calibration can now be automated, why don't they just do it at the factory before they sell it to you? Sure, leave the "blind-me-bright" setting on the TV for sitting on the sales floor, but put in a "Actually color calibrated" preset video mode, too. I honestly believe there's no...

    Samsung Smart TV Video Review with the LED 8000 Series

    Wow, that's a great video overview! Thanks Clint! It's a very compelling platform and really, isn't that what we had hoped for the HTPC to be? It would be great if the manufacturers could agree on a standard interface, but I know that's not the kind of world we live in. :D I look...

    Sceptre Galaxy Series Poloarized 3D HDTV First Look

    Looks like they are making a 32" 3D tv as part of this line. Man, that would be so sweet for my computer!! Well, if it really works without ghosting. With the modern video cards, you can run nearly all PC games in 3D. I am an XBox guy, but I think I can be drawn back to the PC for some cheap...

    Epson Home Cinema 8100 LCD Projector Review

    Hey all, Just for reference, I see that this projector is on sale at Best Buy this week for $150 off the normal price. Actually, I think this is the second time in the last month or two that I have seen it on sale there. Seems like a very good entry into the projector world for the...

    Elemental Designs W6-6TC Bookshelf Gets Wood

    I have seen them in person and they do look very nice. I also think they sound a bit more clear and certainly have better bass than their other bookshelf offerings. If you want to see the screws and woofers and tweeters and glue better, there is a high res image on my blog site at...

    Seymour AV Ice Block 5001 500watt Monoblock Amplifier Review

    Awesome review! I love the template with the blanks I can fill in with my favorite audio descriptions. I think you should get royalties for that for sure! I have seen, heard, and used the SeymourAV amps as well. I love the way they look and would like to own some when I get the cash. They...

    Roskhilde Releases Audiophile Ears Listening Accessory

    "It's really quite remarkable" quotes Soren, "the Audiophile Ears literally allow anyone to now be an audiophile and have the same rears as the world's greatest composers, musicians and, of course, high-end audio magazine reviewers." The best part of this article is the typo! Laughing my...

    Audioholics $1500-$2000 Floorstanding Speaker Shootout 2009

    Wow!!! That looked to be a ton of work. Thanks guys! Oh, and next time you have a guy from Iowa, be sure to invite me! *grin* I am generally an infinity fan personally, but I haven't heard their new lines yet. I am stuck with their latest version of Kappa. So, I was a little...

    Why do I Feel Nausea??

    I personally own that projector you use in your theater... I know it has a very small amount of lag (gets me killed when playing Halo 3). Is it possible your audio and video are just every so slightly out of sync? I don't know if that would cause a problem with motion sensitivity or not...

    DISH Network to go 1080p in August

    BBS? Did someone mention BBS? Wow, I ran a BBS back in high school on a 1200 baud modem, too! Small world... Or... Something... Anyway, it seems pretty hard to believe that there will be some decent quality video even if it is encoded at 1080p. You can still compress the heck out of it...

    LCDs Sell on Misinformation

    You know, for normal HDTV watching, burn-in isn't a problem.... But, what about the 12 hour marathon halo sessions? Am I safe, or is my radar going to get burned into the corner? Probably not... Well, unless I do that for a week straight. (Wow, that's a good idea. I need to take work off...

    FS: 106" Carada Screen

    I had a local offer for $400... Anyone care to beat that? If I could get $450 + shipping, I'll go to the extra trouble of packing and shipping it out. Thanks!

    My Canvas

    You have probably looked around the SeymourAV site, but I realized that I didn't post any pics of screen in a totally dark room. Scroll down the following page to check out some installs with that fabric... http://www.seymourav.com/press.asp As for the Panasonic Projector, I really like...

    Nothing new

    I couldn't help but notice the motorcycle thrown in there with your theater pics... Is that an American IronHorse? Looks like a sweet ride! Oh, and the theater's not half bad, either... *grin*

    My Canvas

    That's a pretty cool layout. I don't think I'd want a center channel in the ceiling however. Also, I am not much of a TV guy. I have been using a projector of some sort or another for about 3 years, and I just like them better. Of course, with the light in your room, it might be kind of...

    FS: 106" Carada Screen

    Hello all, I am thinking about selling my 106" Carada Criterion screen. It's got the brilliant white fabric and makes for an awesome theater. It's the same one pictured in my audioholics profile here. Here are the full specs directly from Carada for the screen I am selling. As you can...

    FS: Infinity Kappa 600 Tower Speaker "very rare!"

    Have these sold yet? I have a pair of Kappa 400s in a 2 channel setup, but would like to go to the 600s fro a little more base. Only, my speakers are in black. Can you post a pic of your speakers so I can see the color? My wife is very concerned that they cherry will clash with the rest of...
