Hmmm...let's see. Texas is right next to North Carolina isn't it? I'll be right over.

Hope my SVS sub gets here today!! Probably not, but a guy can dream can't he

Funny thing, I went and saw Transformers again on Sunday and all I could think about was how good it was going to sound on my new sub.

Damn the wait is killing me and it has only been 6 days

Why is it so slow around here this week? What do you guys expect me to do when I am at work?????

The reason it has been slow is because I have been monkeying around with my new web page It's free and since I have never done anything like it, I wanted to try it out. If you are really curious, and since things are really slow this week, just follow my signature link. It's full of BS You might even have a good laugh or twọ

It must be nice to go online from work. I have to do this on my own time.

Oh, that thinks!
It makes the time go by so nicely at work

What we need is some sort of controvery!

We need someone brave enough to make a bold statement and then we can go at it.

So why don't you start?

 

[majorloser]

That's a good way to get banned

But then that would give ME something to do at work.

You almost sound like the innocent little homeless girl that says.. "it must be nice to have hot food every night". It's just a bunch of bored guys whiling away some time . Well, don't take that little girl comment seriously.. don't mean to be insensitive or anything.

I do hope my receiver gets delivered today. Oh wait.. I haven't ordered one yet! But my new TV will .

Bose sounds so much better than Def Tecs...

Well, that won't work because EVERYONE knows for a FACT that it's simply not true.

Now if you were to say Paradigm sounds MUCH better than Klipsch or MUCH better than PSB or Axiom or AV123...you just might have something.

Everyone knows plasmas are better than LCDs, Yamaha and Denon stink, HD DVD is far superior to Blu-ray. Monster cables will improve the sound of your system.......want more?

Oh, that's good. This could last days.

1) I don't see how plasma is better than LCD. Sure some plasmas look great, but most of the plasma TVs I've seen look worse than LCDs. And how long are plasmas suppose to last now?

2) I would pick Denon over Yamaha, but separates are way better The Clarity. The neutrality. The imaging. The headroom. The extension. Right.

3) Now Blu-ray vs HD DVD is HOT. I know people who own just one format, and I see them pray that their format wins like it's really a big deal I hear Roger Ebert saying that he won't buy either format until the HD war is over. I'm thinking, doesn't this guy have cancer? What is he waiting for? Isn't he like a millionaire? You can get HD DVD for like $200 now and Blu-ray for $500. With a 12% Best Buy coupon, that's $440. If I can't afford blu-ray, I would get the HD DVD for $200. Enjoy it now, Roger Ebert! That way you can watch Heroes Season 1 on HD DVD and say to yourself, "Man the writer of Heroes is a total idiot! I can't believe I'm watching this show! It makes no sense. Idiots I tell you!"

4) Monster Cables look ugly. They need to add more vibrant color.

1. Plamsa last 60,000 hours and are superior to LCDs

2. Yamaha has the best AVRs

3. BR all the way

4. Monster Cables rule

Okay, now you're just been plain difficult!

1) Expensive plasma are superior to LCDs, while cheaper plasmas (i.e. Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, etc.) are not.
60,000 hrs? Wow. That's longer than I thought. So if you watch 8 hrs per day (which none of us do), it would last 20 years? 6 hrs/day would be 27 years? Wow!

But really, how are they superior in terms of picture quality? I mean just in case someone wants to argue and all.

2) Yamaha? Please. Well, I guess they all kind of sound the same with their Integrated Circuit boards, DSP, and tone controls. I almost bought a Yamaha receiver once, though. Must be okay.

3) I personally prefer Blu-ray: less scratching on surface of BD, 100 GB BD potential just in case they come up with 1920p+ and TrueHD/DTS-HD 10.2 or whatever, Uncompressed Audio, more studio support for now. But $500 BD vs. $200 HD DVD? If BD wants to kill HD DVD, they need to just match the price.

I did read somewhere that they actually have a 2000+ lines resolution Hi-Def, but it's too expensive for even the the studios to use, so they just use 1080p.

4) Monster Cable? ----now you're just being silly!

AcuDefTechGuy...I think Greg Gable is just jerking your cables!

1. All this new tech is just a gimmick to part you from your money. Tube TV's worked for 50 years and they work just fine. Plasma and LCD is complicated technology that's not worth the trouble.

2. An AVR just adds another layer of complexity into what should be a simple brainless activity, watching TV. Who needs it? I mean, your TV already has a speaker in it, sometimes two. Anything more is a waste, or overcompensation for something else that's lacking.

3. Blu-ray? HD-DVD? Just glorified CD's. Who needs it on the tried, tested and true cathode ray tube, anyway?

4. Any old lamp wire will do the job of Monster Cable. Monster Cable prices are very high because it as a very high rate of inverse intelligence tax.

Try watching ESPN HD sometime with and without surround sound, and then repeat statement #2 with a straight face!

I am selling all my gear and going back to a HTIB and tube TV. Someone send me 14K and their mailing address.
