DisgruntledVirus, I plan on checking out the B&W's next weekend. I actually just got home from demo'ing some speakers at a local store called Extend Technologies. Here are the only brands they had available: - Totem Acoustic (Forest) - RBH (Signature 1266-SE) - Revel (Studio 2) - Klipsch...

YOyo: That is one of the dilemmas I am facing - the room configuration may not allow for me to have ideal speaker-placement. There is a minimal 4" border around the screen at 2.35:1. So, like you, I may have to have the screen higher than desired, and place the speakers underneath, or...

YOyo: The screen only takes up the full wall (with small border) if it is ?anamorphic?. Whether I get the lens to actually do that remains to be seen. When it is 16:9, it will have 15? borders on each side, so I should be able to floor-stand speakers comfortably next to each wall and still...

Slicksnake: - I?ll check those speakers out, thanks. mshan: - I don?t know which projector ? I was wanting a 1080p. - The primary use will be DVD?s or Blu-Ray. The only TV I?ll watch on it is sporting events. - I?m not into ?wall-rattling? actually ? I prefer accurate clean sound at...

Thanks for all the responses. YOyo: - No, I have not had a chance to demo anything. Hopefully I will this weekend. - I didn?t know HDMI was that important for audio ? I likely won?t be buying until toward the end of this year, so hopefully HDMI will be more prevalent in audio electronics...

Thanks for checking this out. I was going to use the AVR-1907 as the pre-amp only, then use the DRA-697ci's as the amps. And I was going to plug each pair of Sierra-1's into each amp, thus I got 3 of them. Bad idea?

Hello, I have some questions regarding a mini-theater I am creating in a small space in our basement. The small space in question is approximately 10'4" wide by 17'8" long. The budget is about $10K -- but of course I don't want to spend lots of money for minor increases in performance --...

Yes the NAS is an off-the-shelf model. It's called SimpleShare. It has 2 USB ports in the back. But my fear is that those are to transfer information TO the NAS. So if I plug in an external-hard drive, is it going to try to read information from the external, or will it know to send...

Hook up an external hard-drive into the USB port on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device? Basically I want to backup the NAS. I want to make sure that hooking up an external hard-drive a) will work, and b) won't cause any problems.

Are you really trying to find out other people's ideas, or are you just trying to explain your own? You've already indicated several times in this thread that you are not open to new ideas. These are not comments from someone who is willing to explore other avenues and possibilities. The...

Congrats! Enjoy!

Good movie, but nothing spectacular. 8.2 on my scale, if you care.

Actually if it's your primary residence, you don't claim it as taxable income. On the flip side, you cannot claim a loss if you sold it as a loss (again, this applies only if it's your primary residence).

Stocks.

"I hit the big one!" For a second there I thought this was going to be a joke about getting busy with RedDawn last night. But congratulations! I suggest investing it. ;)
