| My dilemma, some advice please. Kal, in referring to the Integra 9.8 in his last Music In the Round column, said All processors have limited DSP capabilities, and the Integra DTC-9.8 cannot use Audyssey EQ with HD sources over 96 kHz. To me, a critical point thats never been ... | |
| budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough? Phasecorrect- I think everyone missed mentioning what I think is the key here; how far you sit from the set. You can not be anymore than six seven feet or so from a 50-inch set to discern 1080p resolution. Much more than that and 720p will give yo... | |
| recommendations for new HT room Cuti- absolutely wrong dimensions. Room dimensions where two (three in your case, even worse) dimensions are multiples of each other will result in large suckouts and large bumps in the low end of the frequency spectrum due to room modes. Leave th... | |
| Home Theatre Question Vic- I see that you have a pair of Avalon Eidolons in your two-channel system. Do you have seven Eidolons in your HT system? Im thinking of using five or seven Vandy 1Cs or Eminent Technology LFT VIIIBs in my basement (under construction) music r... | |
| Pass Labs X5 Mlawitm- I believe the main difference between the X5, the X150 and the X150.5 have to do with bias current. Both the X5 and X150 idle at 200 watts. As such, I believe the X150 if biased further into Class A (being a two-channel amp) then is the X... | |

| Vandersteens and room acoustics Kmulkey- your small room forces you to listen, pretty much, in the near field. Unfortunately, Vandies are not meant for near field listening but are meant to be listened to a minimum of 8, 9 or 10 feet away. The extra distance allows the sound fro... | |
| Projector and Screen recommendations Kirkus- thanks for the input on the micorperf screens, and thanks in general for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Right now I'm planning on installing five Eminent Technology LFT-8s. They're great speakers, especially for the money. The... | |
| Projector and Screen recommendations Very interesting thread; an area I will be researching more towards the end of the year. I've given up fighting with the wife over the den and I'm making the basement into the listening room / home theater. As I'm a multichannel SACD guy, there is... | |
| What's up with Harmon Kardon receiver line? Mapman- just received this response from HK"Good afternoon and thank you for your inquiry. The HK 990 is a European product only. We will not be bringing it to the U.S. We have a similar model, such as the HK 3490".We'll all have to move to Europe... | |

| Please help me decide. Tabl10s- 6th Ave. Electronics is selling the 56-inch, LED illumination, Samsung HLT56875 for $1199!!! Go for it; it will match up to any 50 - 52-inch LCD or plasma at two to three times the price. This is a steal.Russ | |
