  1. For those of you in LA or nearby, the KCAL 9 tv station is playing IMAX movies in HD (and on the SD feed). Last Sunday, I saw The Living Sea and Journey Into Amazing Caves. I looked at there website and haven't been able to find a schedule, but they're calling the series "HD to the Max". I expect that they'll show more this coming Sunday. I get this station using my OTA antennae in southwest Riverside County. It was excellent! David
  2. Got my RB-75s that way. They were advertised as a pair for $600 instead of $600 individually when they first came out. What a bargain. David
  3. Oops, somehow I made duplicate posts. David
  4. Thats a sweet looking tv. I have the same DVD changer, except not the ES version. I usually post pictures that are no larger than 800x600. Your 1024x768 pictures don't fit on a monitor running 1024x768 because of the formating of the page. Even my 800x600 might be too large for some people's taste. You can resize the photos whereever they are stored and the forum should automatically show them at the new size, as long as you don't change the location and name that is referenced by the IMG tag. David
  5. No, I had a professional cabinet maker make them for me. I have no woodworking skills. David
  6. I responded on my "Test (img)" thread, but here it is for anybody else who wants to know how to insert the pictures. I host/upload my pictures to Photobucket.com, where I have established a free account. On my Photobucket page, each photo has URL, Tag, and IMG link that I can cut and past into discussion forum messages. I take the Tag and just paste it into my message. The tag looks like < img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/WetTiger/EntertainmentCenter1-small.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> except that there is no blank space between the first "<" and the "img". I think that you can also create you own link by replacing the www address with the complete address of a photo that is hosted somewhere on the internet. You could probably use the Img tag to reference ANY photo or image that is on the internet and you have an address for. For multiple images, just insert multiple tags, separated by a return. David
  7. Its not a dumb question. I recently learned how to do this from a coworker. I host/upload my pictures to Photobucket.com, where I have established a free account. On my Photobucket page, each photo has URL, Tag, and IMG link that I can cut and past into discussion forum messages. I take the Tag and just paste it into my message. The tag looks like < img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/WetTiger/EntertainmentCenter1-small.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> except that there is no blank space between the first "<" and the "img".

  8. Olympus C-5060. 5 megapixel. These photos were substantially reduced in size for posting. I also use it for underwater photography when scuba diving. Dave
  9. I had it built. The ceiling is 8ft, so the tallest center portion is about 7.5 ft. Its 19ft wide. Each section steps out about 3 inches more than the next, allowing me to fit the whole RPTV inside. I had a cabinet maker build it for me. Its all solid wood with no MDF. I had the same cabinet maker build the dry bar and mantle shown in the pictures that I posted on page 22 of the "Show us your theater" mega-thread. It was mostly built off-site and then assembled and stained in place. An interior decorator and I worked together to make the design and the cabinet guy had decent experience with electronics. There are a couple of features that are cool. One, the trim around the TV fits so flush that you would think it was a plasma screen. All the electronics are on the left while all the lower cabinets/draws on the right are extra storage space. The far right hand section has six small draws, but the most left had section is designed so that the two doors externally match the draws. Dry bar: Dry bar inside: David
  10. I live outside of San Diego, California. I went to college at Auburn University, thus "AUTiger". I grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. I have a nice little collection of southwest art - kachinas, pottery, bronzes, paintings, etc. One purpose for the entertainment centers was to have a place to display some of my art. David
  11. RB-75s (and RC-35, RS-35s). I just posted more photos to the giant "show me your theater" thread. David
  12. Since this thread is never going to die, I'm posting my new cabinets here. Here's the main entertainment center: Here are the insides of some of the cabinets. I've got RB-75s, an RC-35. My sub is a James Loudspeaker EMB-1000. My surrounds are RS-35s. All of the components are on full extension slides. I can store about 120 DVDs each to the left and right of the TV. Notice how the TV is framed in. It looks like a plasma since the trim goes around the bezel. The only thing not shown is the mesh frame/cover over the center speaker. Also shown are HDTV - Zenith ZT1080 DirecTivo Receiver - Denon AVR-3803 DVD Player - old Sony DVD 300 disc changer - Sony DVP-CX985V HDTV monitor - 65" Mitsubishi Platinum Plus XM Radio - SkiFi 2 Its all controlled by my Pronto TSU-3000 remote. I had to do something with the old TV nitch, so I turned it into a dry bar with a custom mantel: The inside of the pocket doors now has glass shelves with wine and martini glasses instead of the sculpture. Not the pull out serving shelf. The bottom right cabinet holds a 15 bottle wine fridge. Thanks for listening. Gotta brag to people who will appreciate it. David
  13. A test picture posting of my entertainment center. David
  14. I love mine too. I use them for the front's though. They fit easily into my entertainment center. I would have liked RF-7s, but wouldn't be able to fit them into my layout. MSRP didn't affect me much, since I managed to get them for half price, thanks to an error in the advertised price at Good Guys (back when they first came out). David
  15. Friday's newspaper has a Good Guys coupon for 25% off any brand of car or home speaker. David
