Is Soliloquy out of business????
Well here is my understanding. Soliloquy as a tax ID number is not out of business. The facility in North Carolina pictured in the website photos has been sold or is certainly not producing Soliloquy speakers anymore. The techs who were employed b... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Khrys- I don't feel that you are comparible to a sophist or a speaker philosopher. A bit grandiose! WE are discussing being able to agree upon a standard evaluation of speaker frequency responses across speakers that could be included in reviews a... 
Thoughts on A/V receivers
Well I think that the efficiancy of your speakers will help define what kind of receiver juice you need in order to get a good result. BY the way- what did you decide on the plasma/display choice and DVD player? 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Unsound is correct of course. You need a standard reference point for comparison. So KHRYS poster, your cigar filled space station where you have your speakers is unique to you as a listening environment and speaker results there mean nothing ( si... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Well. I got no beef in this. I was at CES last Year and will likely be this year and so I get to hear room after room of high end stuff with a wide variation in price.I do think that reviewers speaker reviews can be and in fact are biased by adver... 
Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
Interestingly, if you go to ecoustics.com, the lead article, clickable on the upper left of the screen, is Top Ten HDTV myths or something similar, and covers some of the exact stuff we are talking about here. Its a reprint from the just released ... 
Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
Hi. On altitude, thats why I said " Pseudo-myth". The issue does exist, like burn in for instance. These are factually correct possibilities, but with little practical impact in reality, as almost no one has problems with plasma and altitude, burn...

Holly. Thanks for the link. originally there were far greater concerns about plasma and altitude. And in fact some folks report buzzing plasmas even today, although I havent seen it connected to altitude in those posts on avsforum.com ( just plug ... 
Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
The other interesting thought I have is; " Why would anyone buy a plasma and watch 4;3 stuff on it? At least I might consider a zoom mode to maintain the aspect ratio yet minimize the bar area; it is after all a widescreen display- however, I have... 
Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
My plasma has no fans and a perforated back on the top and bottom. It gets warm, but not hot.AS far as burn in, we would have to separete burn in from after image retwntion--two different things. So if the bars remain lightly in the background aft...

Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
A few thoughts...1. JohnMcF- I didn't respond to your first inquiry about LG because you asked for owners and I don't own one. LG as a plasma brand isn't very good. There is a chain in Florida that runs colorful ads and sells them, as well as larg...

Yes a FP provides the most cinematic experience. JohnMcfarland poster- just go to visualapex.com and consider a Panasonic plasma. Best prices for what you get in the Flat screen world from the best online reseller and no state income tax. I would ... 
Thoughts on Plasma, LCD, DLP and which way to go
Hmm. Ok. A very general question;1. If smaller, then 37 inch screen-- LCD definetly.2. If 42 inch or larger Plasma definetly.3. At 37 inch, its a toss up.4. If DVDs in the dark or minimum light- Panasonic 42 ED Plasma.5. IF HD content is primary- ... 
Advantage to receiver with HDMI?
The last answer is best for your situation at this time. So DVD player to plasma. Be sure to not get too long a length for your HDMI connect. Anything over 15 feet degrades video quality as a stand alone cable at this time for HDMI cabling.Then CO...
