Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 7939 Registered: Feb-05 | Same ole Rega/Totem synergy Still playin nicely... Whole room audio/video The pics aren't going well....I'll try again. |
|
Silver Member Username: Scorpio1PA USA Post Number: 243 Registered: Nov-07 | The new setup looks lovely Art. Just beautiful. |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 7940 Registered: Feb-05 | Rega/Totem and whole room AV.    |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 7941 Registered: Feb-05 | Office goodies... Atom Monitor v6's in Wenge breakin' in to alternate with the ELS 3's (on the floor) for duties in the office.  This Creek/Rotel combo works very nice.  |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2047 Registered: Jun-07 | Outstanding Art!! Audio setup's look so clean and beautiful. I like the two system integration in the one room. Brilliant. How many office systems can say they have Creek/Rotel/Paradigm/Epos in it?lol Awesome. The new V6 Paradigms are so neutral and smooth. They do the whole sound stage so well for such a small speaker as well. |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2092 Registered: Oct-04 | Nice pics Art. |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 7944 Registered: Feb-05 | Yeah the little Atom Monitors are a remarkable bargain. The ELS 3's have a bit more midrange magic and image better but the the Atom's are a bit more neutral. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1638 Registered: Feb-07 | The Atom v6s look ever so slightly different than the v5s (which I have). I wonder what (if any) difference in sound there is? Very nice systems, Art. I came very close to buying the Epos a little while back. |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 7946 Registered: Feb-05 | I'm going to email Paradigm and ask them what changes they made to the v6 Atom. |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 188 Registered: Aug-04 | Patrick, if you don't mind me asking, what are those speaker stands? Name, model...please? Where'd you get them? |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 245 Registered: Jun-08 | Really sweet stuff Art. You should be proud of those babies. Love all the alternatives you've got going. Thanks for taking the time to put the pics up. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 246 Registered: Jun-08 | Patrick. Those D5's look sooo sophisticated on those stands - ready to do business. |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 7948 Registered: Feb-05 | Thanks George...lotta fun! |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 190 Registered: Aug-04 | Art, I love your set up and your gear. Nicely done! Love seeing those Rega R5's!! Maybe one day.....NO NO!!...I don't need more speakers...I don't need more speakers!! Definitely not!! No friggin' way!! No more. Maybe.  |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1885 Registered: Feb-07 | Some more of my Ascend speakers. I LOVE the finish on these babies.   |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 480 Registered: Jun-08 | Nice Dave. The grain pattern of the Bamboo is very interesting and unique. They are show pieces. Now you gotta get your new Studio's up here. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1893 Registered: Feb-07 | They definitely are showpieces. The cabinets are rock solid (they definitely pass the knuckle-rap test) and perfectly put together. Plus my wife likes them :-) |
|
Silver Member Username: HawkbillyNova Scotia Canada Post Number: 455 Registered: Jul-07 | The Sierra's are a treat both for the ears and the eyes. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 13250 Registered: May-04 | . Thanks, David. I only buy this thread for the pictures. Psssssst, got any raw driver stuff? . |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1895 Registered: Feb-07 | heh? |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 210 Registered: Aug-04 | Anyone know what kind of stands PatrickBateman is using for his ERA D5? I already checked his profile, nothing. Really would like to know. I need a few pair of stands......just like those. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1901 Registered: Feb-07 | Me too. Those are nice. |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 211 Registered: Aug-04 | I sent him an e-mail asking about them. I hope he responds. Those are some great looking speaker stands. And one of the features I really like, they have a resonably large platform plate for the speaker to sit on. I can't stand these speaker stands that have a 4 inch or 5 inch rectangular or square plate. Way too small. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1902 Registered: Feb-07 | I bought some really nice Sanus stands at Futureshop (of all places), but I find that at 30" tall they're too high for my listening room. |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 212 Registered: Aug-04 | The D5, according to the ERA site are a little over 10 inches long and 7" wide. The platform plate, in Patrick's picture appears to cover almost the whole bottom of the speaker. So I'm guessing that plate is about 8 to 9 inches deep and 6 to 7 inches wide. That would be fine. Certainly better than 4-5 inches. Actually 30 inches would be fine for my set up. But I would prefer 26" to 28 ". |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 213 Registered: Aug-04 | I noticed something odd about these speaker stands. The shorter speaker stands (16"-26" ) have larger platform plates. But as the stands get taller...into the 28"-30" range; they shorten the plates. What the hell is that all about? You would think that the taller the speaker stand, the larger the plate. I mean, there's a greater risk from a tall drop, than a short drop. I don't get it. The only thing I can figure is, that they think the taller stands are going to be used for small rear speakers...or something like that. |
|
Silver Member Username: Scorpio1PA USA Post Number: 256 Registered: Nov-07 | What you guys are looking for is the Skylan speaker stand. They resemble the Target HR 2 post stand, but Skylan cutom makes the top plate to exactly match your speaker size. They are also reasonably priced for a custom pair of speaker stands. Check his site out. He is a great guy to deal with. I have spoken to him on several occasions about different stands. http://www.skylanstands.com/ |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 214 Registered: Aug-04 | Before I call Canada. Could you tell me what these stands are made of? The mass-loading uprigth post, is that some kind of wood/MDF or steel? What about the platform plates? Wood or steel? |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1904 Registered: Feb-07 | Thanks for the link Ed. This looks just like what I'm looking for. |
|
Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 3133 Registered: May-05 | "The shorter speaker stands (16"-26" ) have larger platform plates. But as the stands get taller...into the 28"-30" range; they shorten the plates." Generally speaking, bigger speakers are taller and therefore require shorter stands. Hence bigger plates on shorter stands. Smaller speakers are shorter and therefore require taller stands, hence smaller plates. |
|
Silver Member Username: Scorpio1PA USA Post Number: 257 Registered: Nov-07 | NMYTree, This is taken directly froom the ite "SYLAN speaker stands are MASS-LOADING. Strong, yet light, they are engineered with MDF and Polymer Extrusion." I'm not sure about the polymer, but I stongly suggest a phone call. They are great people to deal with. |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 215 Registered: Aug-04 | Thank you, Ed!!! |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2196 Registered: Feb-04 | Can't wait to post pictures in this thread, because it will mean that my room is finished! Studs, Electrical, sheetrock, plaster, paint and floor are done. The room is usable and a new TV is hung and blue ray player purchased. Next comes the doors, moldings and suspended ceiling. A few more months of working evenings... |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1906 Registered: Feb-07 | Which Blu-ray did you buy Peter? |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2197 Registered: Feb-04 | Sony S550. It was on sale for C$300 after Christmas. Although the S350 was an astounding C$200, the S550 has 7.1 analog outputs which lets me try out the lossless sound on my non-HDMI h/k receiver. Had to unplug the SACD player though. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1907 Registered: Feb-07 | Thats the same one I have. It's an awesome player - so far it's played every single disc I've thrown at it (knocking on wood here). The only problem I've had with it so far is the remote kicked the bucket after about 2 months. The analog outs are a definite bonus. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2198 Registered: Feb-04 | Have you updated the firmware? I haven't bothered yet. I am having a problem with it. It doesn't recognize the 1 GB USB card that came with it. I'll try reformatting it but I don't hold out much hope. If I'm lucky the store will do a straight swap for another player if I can't get it to work, without going through Sony. So far I've only player one Blue Ray title, but the upscaling on regular DVDs is incredible! I had no idea DVDs could look so good. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1908 Registered: Feb-07 | Nope, no firmware update yet. I'm hesitant to do it since when I updated the firmware on my Samsung the POS stopped working. No issues with the memory for the Sony. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2201 Registered: Feb-04 | *Blush* I caved in and posted a picture... but replied and posted in the wrong thread! How do we delete or edit a message |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1909 Registered: Feb-07 | There's a little pencil and paper icon at the top right hand corner of each post, click that to edit. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 488 Registered: Jun-08 | Saw your picture - room looks like it will be great. I don't think you can edit/delete a post...don't sweat it. Just post it again here. Cheers, George You need to give us a rundown of your system. What are those speakers in the corner. Looks like a centre channel on top but why is it in the corner. Or, have I got it wrong? |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2202 Registered: Feb-04 | Thanks. That did it. Here's the left front quarter of the work-in-progress.  |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1910 Registered: Feb-07 | Very nice. Is that a La Scala center channel?? Too cool! |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 489 Registered: Jun-08 | Dave, I guess you learn something everyday. That edit function is brilliant but I see it only works for the first 60 minutes following a post. I guess that's why you're a Gold member Dave. lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 490 Registered: Jun-08 | PG, I guess those are Klipshhorns in the corners and a LaScala in the centre? Am I right? What do you have in the rear? Sweet! |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2203 Registered: Feb-04 | That's right. Two feet inset into the wall. The "box" on the other side is in a closet so doesn't impact on another room. There are also 3 Heresy II surrounds, one of which is also inset into a wall, as is the system rack. I can access the wiring behind the gear in the adjacent utility room. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1911 Registered: Feb-07 | lol George... I just have too much spare time on my hands. |
|
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2264 Registered: Oct-04 | Sweet. What's the flooring? |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2204 Registered: Feb-04 | I see my reply to David answers George's questions ! :-) |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 491 Registered: Jun-08 | With the efficiency of those speakers you'll be able to real theatre volumes. What's the engine i.e. what's your amplification, source and projection? |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2205 Registered: Feb-04 | The floor, which doesn't show very well in this shot, is cork tiling. It's half-an-inch thick and installs directly over a concrete floor with only a vapour barrier and foam liner. It's very comfortable to walk on, even barefoot, has a little spring to it, and plays nice with sound. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 492 Registered: Jun-08 | Oh, and PG, are you near Toronto? If so, once you're done with the build, can I buy a ticket to your theatre? Any deals on popcorn and candy? LOL. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2206 Registered: Feb-04 | Theatre volumes are easy. I reach "reference" at -15 dB (as I recall) on the volume dial, and typically watch a movie 7 to 10 dB below that. Sources are plain jane. h/k avr-325 receiver and 25-year-old 120W Nikko power amp used for surrounds. Rotel RCD-02 CD player, Sony S550 Blue Ray, Bell ExpressVu HD PVR. Screen is 720p 50-inch Samsung; at 10-feet viewing (the sweet spot of the horns on the 20-foot wall), 720p is perfect. A friend has an almost new Monster MPA 2250 amplifier for sale at a good price. http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=1902 Should I buy it? I'll add a 1080p projector and screen in due time. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2207 Registered: Feb-04 | Unfortunaly, I am 600 km northeast of Montreal, but I have a view on the St. Lawrence estuary so life isn't so bad. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1912 Registered: Feb-07 | The Monster would probably be ok for HT, not so much for music would be my guess. Never heard one, just going by the Monster "reputation". |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2208 Registered: Feb-04 | I don't care for Monster's ethics and marketing practices, but in this case I wouldn't be putting money in their bank account but in my friend's bank account. :-) The amp is overkill for sure, but another amp or two (which I keep forever) and the next receiver is either a pre-pro or a low-amplification (first h/k in the lineup) to be used on some surround channels. |
|
Silver Member Username: HawkbillyNova Scotia Canada Post Number: 459 Registered: Jul-07 | Awesome room PG. I'm envious. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2209 Registered: Feb-04 | It's been more work than I anticipated. Much more. But I am finishing most of the basement, so I am working on two other rooms as well and that adds up. But it's coming together nicely and I'm very happy with the result so far. It's a clean layout with interesting geometry. I'm wondering about the suspended ceiling. It would be best to avoid the plain white tiles. I bought a box of flat paintable tiles and will try to paint one to see what I get out of that. |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 8547 Registered: Feb-05 | Nice pics Peter...very cool all Klipsch HT. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2210 Registered: Feb-04 | Thanks Art. The sub is a Hsu, but it plays nice. I know you most of you guys prefer a separate two-channel rig, but I'm also very happy with the stereo sound I get. I also have a Phillips 963SA (SACD player and oversampling CD player) which is nice to me, but it is not hooked up right now because the Blue Ray player is now taking up the 8-channel analog input on the receiver. I don't think that Klipschorns are a difficult impedence load, so my hk avr-325 sounds good on it. as I recall, it was members on this forum that recommended it to it nearly 5 years ago. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2210 Registered: Jun-07 | Peter- Sick room man. Very nice speakers. I use a Monster power center in my theater downstairs and it works great. Buying the Monster stuff used isn't bad, it is when you pay the full retail for the stuff you are getting railed. FWIW the Sony Blu-Ray firmware is great. Update it. A new one just came out mid November. Just download the file onto your computer, extract it and then burn it as an IMAGE(Nero will do the trick) onto a DVD. Put the DVD into the player and let it do its thing. It will tell you when its done and kick it out. I don't see one yet for the 550 however. http://esupport.sony.com/CA/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=HOME&PRODTYPE=78 |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1913 Registered: Feb-07 | Last I checked there wasn't an update for the 550 yet Nick. Too new I guess. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2211 Registered: Jun-07 | For sure David. My good buddy Just picked up the 550. I got him a sick deal on it from my dealer. We brought it home and hooked it up. Very nice player indeed. |
|
Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithCanada Post Number: 2211 Registered: Feb-04 | Sweet! Thanks for the support link. I'll keep an eye out! Nick, thanks for the advice concerning the Monster amp. Good to know! |

Silver Member Username: PatrickbatemanMA Post Number: 113 Registered: Oct-05 | NMyTree, sorry about the late response I have been off the forums for a while. My wife gave birth to our twins and we have been busy! The stands are Skylan Stands, and the owner Noel is great. He will customize the tops for you. If you have any other questions let me know. |
|
Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 219 Registered: Aug-04 | Congratulations Patrick!!! Great news!! Are they your first kids? If so, that's one hell of way to jump into parenthood!!! Boys? Girls? One of each? Best wishes to you, your brand new babies and your wife!! |

Silver Member Username: PatrickbatemanMA Post Number: 114 Registered: Oct-05 | Hi NMyTree, yes they are our first, a boy and girl. Wow! what an invite into parenthood. Thank you so much for the kind wishes. I am hoping for a great 09 for all of you ! |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1919 Registered: Feb-07 | Congrats to you and your wife Patrick! |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2220 Registered: Jun-07 | Wholly crap Patrick. Congrats buddy. My wife and I want to have kids in the next few years. Its fun trying thats for sure.LOL! Congrats again.You are going to be a busy man in 09. Cheers to you and your wife. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto ..., Ontario Canada Post Number: 503 Registered: Jun-08 | Hey Partick. I have two myself, though nowhere close together as yours. My wife and I are always busy but it's a labour of love. All the best to you Patrick and try to drop in on the forum from time to time. Maybe you want to give us your music selections for the speakeer guys when you get a chance, here and there. Cheers, Congrats and All the Best! |
|
Silver Member Username: Scorpio1PA USA Post Number: 258 Registered: Nov-07 | Congratulations Patrick to you and the family. What a way to start the new year off. My daughter was the best thing to happen to me, besides marrying her mother. |
|
New member Username: Kala98Post Number: 3 Registered: Apr-08 | Kinda old thread, but my crew is sleeping to recover from a 3yr old birthday party so I might as well post pictures on forums. NAD M3, PSB M2 speakers, Rega P3. I guess I'm only allowed to buy gear that follows the naming convention of [A-Z][0-9].   |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1985 Registered: Feb-07 | Nice rig CS. Are you a programmer by chance? |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 8621 Registered: Feb-05 | Nice system CS...love the P3. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 553 Registered: Jun-08 | Sweet CS. Glad to have you on...welcome. Nice screen...running a 1080p projector. Just set one up at my brothers place. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 554 Registered: Jun-08 | Oh, BTW CS, what stands do you have those on, they don't appear to be standard issue PSB stands...did you upgrade? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2284 Registered: Jun-07 | Sweet setup CS. What is that I see under the NAD? |
|
New member Username: Kala98Post Number: 4 Registered: Apr-08 | @David I am a programmer, I guess I typed out the regular expression bits without thinking about it. @George Just 720p for now. I'm waiting for streaming 1080p quality from the interwebs before I upgrade again. We're pretty happy with the way it looks for now. @Nick Just an Oppo dvd player. I'm on a DAC hunt to make that better, and open up a computer based path for anything I can't find on vinyl. Thanks for the kind comments, all! |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 562 Registered: Jun-08 | C S: How big's your vinyl collection. What's your music tastes - I'll guess easy listening, jazz etc. Where abouts are you located? |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1988 Registered: Feb-07 | Me too C S. Picked up on the regex right away ;-) |
|
New member Username: Kala98Post Number: 5 Registered: Apr-08 | Looking at the collection there's some jazz, but mostly newer Rock (The Dears, TV on the Radio, etc) and Folk/Americana (Iron and Wine, Shins, Death Cab for Cutie, etc). I have a large collection of Jazz and Classical on CD, and am reluctant to buy the same performance again just to have it in vinyl. I'll move all this to a computer soon and get a good dac. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2004 Registered: Feb-07 | Here is my 2 channel system in it's latest incarnation. I'll be posting a review of the MA/Bryston combo soon Nick, just like I promised.   |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 8666 Registered: Feb-05 | Love those MA's! |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2297 Registered: Jun-07 | Freaking awesome David. You da man baby.lol. Beautiful speakers and look at that sweet rack filled with Bryston and CA gear. Very nice. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 11435 Registered: Dec-04 | Very nice David! |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 584 Registered: Jun-08 | Very nice David! Can't see in the photo but what have you got up on those shelves mounted up above the TV to the left and right...looks like some bookshelves...which set? |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2005 Registered: Feb-07 | Thanks guys. We just had a party here last night and the MA's (as well as all the other speakers in the house) were rockin'. George, the system you see is in the rec-room - it's my son's gaming system (how many six year olds do you know who have a 51" gaming system?, lol). The speakers are just cheapo Sony bookshelves and a Fluance center channel. |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 587 Registered: Jun-08 | I dunno Dave but I sure would love a Pop like you. My Dad was good to us...we had the first 26" colour TV on our street in the 70's, a 54" T.V. in the late 80's and in the 2000 my Dad bought a 60". We were a TV family. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2007 Registered: Feb-07 | That's neat George. A 54" TV in the 80's must have seemed HUGE. Was it one of those front projection monstrosities? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2301 Registered: Jun-07 | That must have weighed like 600 pounds George.lol |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 589 Registered: Jun-08 | Dave / Nick, it was one of the early rear projection sets from the late 80's. It did weigh probably around 350lbs, at least. The box alone stood 5.5ft high and 3 ft deep and was 1 inch MDF. I was the envy of all my friends in high-school. I remember those days of watching Top Gun on that set. If you can believe it I still have a portion of it. When the CRT's died my Dad hacked it and turned it into a low cabinet. The speakers are still in it. They were 8 inch full rangers. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2304 Registered: Jun-07 | lol nice George. I had a 27 inch 300 pound RCA with the turn dial and push power button from the 70's until I was 18 (9 years ago) lol. Then I went to college and got a good job. I wont be owning anymore of those tv's.lol. I just measured my wall last night, looks like a 106 inch screen will fit nicely. |
|
Gold Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2008 Registered: Feb-07 | We had one of those TVs too George. I remember ours not being so good. You had to sit in a completely blacked out room, and be dead center of the screen to be able to see the picture at all. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 11444 Registered: Dec-04 | George, that piece needs to be a stand up bar! |
|
Silver Member Username: SoundgameRichmond Hill Toronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 591 Registered: Jun-08 | My wife thinks I'm a junk collector...and to some degree...I agree. Call me sentimental. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 13304 Registered: May-04 | . "I just measured my wall last night, looks like a 106 inch screen will fit nicely." Now, Nick, you surely know you don't measure the wall the TV goes on to determine how much screen to buy? . |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2305 Registered: Jun-07 | lol No, but I had to make sure a mounted projector screen of 106 inches was going to mount easily and to my standard of watching distance before I buy a 1080p Projector and screen. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 13305 Registered: May-04 | . " ... my standard of watching distance ... " That's the measurement that counts. Take that with you when you go shopping for the new projector. . |
|
Gold Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 2310 Registered: Jun-07 | Absolutely agree Jan. |
|
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 8690 Registered: Feb-05 | Will be posting pics of all the new stuff soon. Probably not this weekend but next...I hope. |
