We get hit on receivers too. My current and previous one were both from the US. I picked up my used KHorns in the US, and my used KPT-100 in the US. Paid C$600 for a pair of Heresy II, so you can bet that was in Canada!

Moving target!

Even closer! Stop by to hear a Tuba HT.

Hey, only 740 km from me! (Rimouski, QC)

Mine are setup like this (except for R+L angles, which are at 45 degrees for me for an obvious reason; plus I am using direct radiator as side surrounds):

THX setup. I guess people are supposed to have two sets of brackets and move their speakers around depending on the movie! LOL.

Opps.

Music notes... C0 -> 16.35 Hz C1 -> 32.70 Hz

That movie doesn't have dts ma. Its dolby true hd Blu-ray review. DTS-10 subwoofer? Not dts-ma soundtrack?

Don't worry about power. There's hardly any perceived loudness difference obtained between 95W/110W/130W (1.6 dB). Buy the features you need and forget about power within the same family of receivers.

a is a guy on abs who did a side by side test on YouTube with the 93 or 103 and his play station. I'll see if I can find the link.Edit: even better is the 95. Let's call that quick side-by-side observations.

If, like for me, the Bluray player is only used to take the audio and video bits of the disk and hand them over to the AVR, projector or TV over HDMI, then an Oppo will perform the same as a cheap player. I will cite: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-blu-ray-player/ Who am I to make that claim? I’ve been handling almost all the Blu-ray reviews for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity since 2010 and have had nearly three dozen players come through my hands. I’ve subjected them to countless objective and subjective tests. I’ve even thrown them on a $15,000 HDMI Analyzer to verify their performance. Often, as is the case with the LG, the picture from a cheap player is 100 percent identical to an $8,000 player’s.

Americans gave up a lot of freedom with the Patriot Act. In Canada, we had two crazy guys kill two soldiers a couple of weeks or so ago in separate incidents (which were very unfortunate) and the government is calling it terrorism and wants to pass new laws that will erode our rights.

Not in as many details, but yeah I noticed that too.

KHorns as surrounds to Cornwalls... yes, you need to turn that room around!

Your sig says: Khorns front 86 RF-83 back RC-64 center So you already have the KHorns? Can you manage one of the La Scala as center? That's what I did when I had La Scala as mains and a Heresy center and got KHorns. After a year or so of keeping the Heresy center and using the La Scala as surround speakers, I tried one of them as center and it was SOOO much better than the Heresy. So now I use one of the La Scala as centers and got a nicer pair of Heresy II to use as surrounds (first in a 6.1 arrangement with the 3 Heresy), and then picked up a pair of KPT-100 to use as rear surrounds in 7.1. As good as the RC-64 is, it's no match for a La Scala as a center for KHorns (pun intended!).

Wear protection and long sleeves when you put that stuff up. I have 2 layers of it between the ceiling joists... or is it 3? Can't even remember now.

I needed an electric AT screen because I still have a TV and the screen goes lower than the center speaker... spent as much on my screen as on my projector ($1500 each)!

About a month ago, I paid C$1750 (US$1570) for my 60F8500 with 24 months of no-interest financing... in Canada! Where TVs are more expensive!

Fair enough. I guess I really meant: The best TVs in a few years will likely all be OLED, whereas in the past (and still now at affordable prices) they were pretty much all plasma.

No Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City yet?

In that case, get the AVR with the lowest WPC that still has the features you want. No sense paying for amplification if you are not going to use it. They somethings charge as much to increase in power with the same feature set as an external pro amp would cost you.

As I have said before, I am happy that I got in on the last of the plasma with my 1080p 60-inch Samsung F8500; just an incredible picture. OLEDs are better, but it'll take a few years before they are as affordable. It's always nice to go help out your parents; good for you Youthman.

Pro-Cinema_Head? When did that happen?

I do agree that it's quite possible that netflix chooses to stream a version with reduced dynamic range, but that does not affect bandwidth. It's possible that they enable some dynamic range compression (similar to "midnight-mode" on an AVR) because their average customer can't handle the full dynamic range version. Ask them. As for the 2.0 versus multi-channel mix on Bluray... I guess that they take advantage of the extra 10 dB top end of the LFE channel, whereas they reduce the dynamic range on the 2.0 track.
