Buy 4k projector or display now?...or stay 1080p?
yep yep..all that and I'd love to see a 4K+ image on a huge 135"+ projection screen, from a world class projector!! Im completely fine with my 55" 1080p image, and so is everyone else who sees it. Higher Rez demands a larger surface to make sense ... 
Very large room HT
Salmoni, what did you end up using? Did you go wiht Bo-Blow's recommendations of some way WAY over-priced Revel's for "attempting" to filling a large room with potent high quality (touchble??? lol!!) Home Theater Sound? Or did you take my advice a... 
Use a US sub in Tokyo?
I seen a Tokyo sub in the US before..in the movie 1949. So it's probably possible 
Help me pick a projector.
I would look for one of the brighter, more current 1080p projectors, in the 2500-3000 lumen range. Optoma HD25-LV or Panasonic PTAR100u are supposed to be really bright HT projectors, that might just work well for you.If I'm not mistaken, one or m... 
Marantz SR700 cost to repair too high... advice?
Yep! It's a throw-away. Too much to fix just about ANY standard Chinese piece of electronics these days. You just have to move on, and maybe sell it "as is", and get a buck out of it to someone only using stereo. That's about it.This is one reason... 
Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200?
Yep yep yep...now I'm thinkin I would probably do just fine choosing from many of the used gear options that are widely available on the internet, rather than to spend "discount" money on some otherwise budget conscious product, from a company wit... 
Would you upgrade to 3D for Blurays like Pac Rim?
Lol. Here's the funny part....for whatever reason, I decided to purchase some 3D Bluray discs today at Best Buy today, mostly because there are some movies I wanted for my collection, they were available on Bluray 3D/Bluray standard combo set, the... 
Would you upgrade to 3D for Blurays like Pac Rim?
Jameswei, good points! I've not even really been thinking about some "unified" format for delivering 3D content to my system. So, I'm assuming that any discs I buy NOW are not going to change anything down the compatibility-road, right??? Also, th... 
Buy 4k projector or display now?...or stay 1080p?
Im kinda thinkin about just upgrading my 1080p video projector and screen combo, and playing around with an anamorphic lense for now! Later, I can possibly ditch the lens, when I know that 4k is more of a readily available source, and upgrade proj... 
Starting HT from scratch - 6k budget
WHAT?! NO 120+ inch REAL home cinema image using a projection system an screen!??? Small image, small sound.. How about a nice sound bar to go with those dimensions?! That would keep everything nice and compact and tidy, both visually and soundwis... 
AV Receiver Help me narrow it down
If your in the closet (no pun), then you likely have no ventilation if the doors are closed. And, if movies only, that sounds like a perfect candidate for a DIGITAL AV RECEIVER! That equals low heat, and likely no fan or issues. Again, since it's ... 
Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112
For someone to try and tell me that one subwoofer (or any AV electronics product, for that matter) is superior to another, and to "just buy that one, cause it's better", doesn't equate! I'd first be asking myself, which product will work better, i... 
Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200?
lets say that same $600 Emotiva Prepro were sold through traditional retail sales distribution channels. What would the price then be? -probably $899 instead???That considered, on the other AV receiver side of the market, its actually pretty amazi... 
Arcam AVR + Tektons
I look forward to hearing the Tektons at some point. Not sure how they get the efficiency and sensitivity out of a basic driver and woofer combination.Anyone know if anything about the crossover on these? Is it possibly some sort of simple or even... 
looking for a place to buy blu-ray dvds
Best buy typically matches prices from Amazon online, if I'm not mistaken, right in the stores. Occasionally, I see some deals at Walmart, but then yes, also Amazon. Once in a blu moon (no pun), I'll see some minty restored or even new closeout de...
