Hey Wayne -
I've been hitting the Recent Posts page occaionally, and totally missed this thread until today. Wow. So very glad Cynthia is doing well and you are holding up as well. Praying for you both. God is an ever present help in time of need!
I'll have to go find the thread about your Khorns, are they in the front home theater room?
Take care and rely on His strength.

That sounds great. What are your room dimensions? Will you have all speakers on one wall?
I currently have a set of Fortes in my basement for a two channel setup. You mentioned turntables, what are you running?

Hope these are not stretching too far....

Checked Amazon, $40 range Blu-ray and same for DVD, a bit on the steep end for me, think I'll check for YouTube videos.

Unless Fortes have skyrocketed in price over the last two years, somewhere closer to the $500 range sounds more reasonable. If you are buying them without hearing them, bear in mind that crossovers and horn drivers, diaphragms, etc. may need refreshing or replacement. Local with chance to audition is a plus.

Ditto for Bob Crites as a resource and welcome to the forum.

There have been a lot of posts over the last six or eight years regarding the low impedance dips for RF-7 speakers, not sure if the RF-7II changed these characteristics. Old threads on this topic would be more applicable to RF-7. The problem I recall from these older RF-7 threads, is not that you won't be able to drive the speaker, but that you may stress/damage an amp that is not able to handle the impedance dips when you really want to "crank it".

Received an email alert from Amazon today for super deal on $5 albums, link follows, cannot get it to post as an actual link.

Went to the Amazon webpage, saw some interesting choices then noticed - they are all MP3! For $8 or $10 you can get the CDs, with the MP3......album.
It was hard enough to transition from actual vinyl albums to CDs which were then christened albums, but MP3 albums?
Sign of the times, but don't seem right.

Scanned the active posts and most recent 2-channel, didn't see this posted yet. Forgot how to post as a link so just pasted it from my browser.

So very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. I pray God's peace for you and that you will be a comfort to your father.

Posted this separately, this link is to a sponsor's site with blog of Mark's current tour in Europe.

Mark, his band and support team are touring Europe, apparently Land Rover/Range Rover is doing some sponsoring. Link below is actually to a Range Rover site which hosts the tour blog. On the Range Rover "mini-site" click on the Guy Fletcher's Road Reports button for the blog. Have not checked Mark's site for similar blog. Sorry the link is not an active link, can't find a way to make that happen, so some tutoring is welcome.

No particular order and missed the 20 film limit, oh well, fun to make this list!
I read a couple of the early replys and decided to stop reading and start my list without additional "influences", so some of these may be repeats and some may not. All good.Anybody else seen "The Secret War of Harry Frigg"? My copy is a VHS tape recorded over the air in the late 1980s. Wonder if I have a VHS deck that still works?
Here goes..........
The Untouchables (Sean Connery plus other "supporting" actors")
LOTR (all six)
Star Wars (all six, more or less, I guess these will be the "Classic" Star Wars films now?)
Lawrence of Arabia (too many actors and cinematography accolades to list)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence (John Wayne, Jimmy Steward, Lee Marvin)
Kelly's Heroes (no negative wave here, man!)
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Pirates of the Carribean (only the first film)
Titanic
Avatar
The Secret War of Harry Frigg (Paul Newman)
Ben Hur (Charlton Heston)
Jurasic Park
Superman (first movie, Christopher Reeves)
Alien (first movie)
My Fair Lady (Audrey Hepburn, Rex Harrison)
The Pink Panther and the Return of the Pink Panther
Back to the Future (all three movies)
Top Gun
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Crocodile Dundee
Papillon (George Peppard, Dustin Hofffman)
The Guns of Navarone (Gregory Peck, David Niven, Anthony Quinn)
Casablanca (Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, et.al., B&W)Great movies!

Great skit!
Watched one of those Carol Burnet show DVD sales pitches on cable the other night, good stuff, of course this one was not included!
-
Try Acoustic Sounds and search for Patricia Barber, her name sounded familiar but have not heard any of her songs. Some of the items are a tad pricey.
-
Blue Jeans Cable has good technical articles about many types of cables on their website, link to index below.
-
Try this post, provides a method for cavity treatment using R-5800's originally described by Michael Coulter.
Working great for me.
-
Acoustic Sounds has the six SACD's as separates or as boxed set.

Bridge of Sighs, yes.......

Remastered CD. Brings back many memories, I also no longer have the LP.
I have this and it sounds very good.
Nine bucks on Amazon, bundle it with some other stuff and get free shipping for over $25 purchase.
The Hobbit AUJ Extended Edition DVD and BluRay soundtracks
in Home Theater
Posted
Do either of these (DVD or BluRay extended editions) have DTS 5.1 soundtrack option which would be compatible with my circa 2004 Denon AVR-1804 receiver?
Appreciate any feedback!
