i was looking up info on hi-def camcorders and found this its always good when your partying with wood the worlds first wood cone driver!! the reasoning behind this is something to the effect that because all the worlds greatest instruments are made of wood. so why not a wood speaker cone?? whoda thunkit jay

i have a sony vplhw12htthat ive had up for a year and a half. when we first pit it up we were trapped in the ht room for months and the i dwindled off some . we still watch almost ever day and have 1500 hours in the bulb. bulb life is 3000 hours. a new bulb is $300 would i go back? no way. do we still watch the 65 inch rptv upstairs, sure. jay

Actually the ad should have read that these are covered in imitation granite laminate rather than "beautiful granite veneer", as that is what they are. Frzninvt's visually mismatched wood package would be, without a doubt, better looking... and have a better resale value. Just my 2¢... Rob ---------------- i will agree with you that the black wouldnt be as good looking as the wood. walnut oil with cane grills would be perfect but mrs tko likes the look of the black "granite" and thats what sold her on the idea. my ht room is all black(except the screen) carpet/walls ect. also im hopeing the resale issue will help keep the price down. if i win them i would own them untill i die jay

The $500 he's assessing the buyer seems way below cost and I'd be concerned that he'd cut corners when palletizing, etc. ............................................................... if i win them, contingent on an in person inspection i will pick them up myself ............................................................... Chas, $6500 for your whole rig? You have to be kidding. $10K is more like it. I can't see you parting with your stuff, anyway. You've gone through too much to get them there ... together. ............................................................... i dont see you getting rid of your stuff either. besides the only reason that the mrs didnt balk is that they have that groovy black veneer(my ht room is all black) and that they all match jay

so ... i asked the wife about my ....thing and she didnt say no!!!! i told her that we could sell off the speakers we have now.... and she asked if we couldnt move them upstairs!!!! (around a 65 inch sony 4/3 set) fingers crossed jay

man .... im getting all sweaty....... adding up the room on the credit cards...... or maybe a home equity loan.... (it WOULD be a home improvement!!) MY WIFE IS GOING TO KILL ME wish me luck jay

id check out the small svs jay

craig, thanks!! did you get my check? im on my my first play and it sounds fantastic!!! mrs tko says you guys remind her of april wine!!! oh ya....who says old guys cant rock (im old 2) ill pass the word jay

when you took apart the k-77 did you just remove the horn? if so the install is easy(ive done 2) i was told by the klipsch parts dept that as long as you dont take the magnet apart its a breeze(alignment issues) jay

when the dd signal sounds like crap i always switch over to the dts neo6 and it smooths things out a lot, football or anything else for that matter jay

i was watching home movies the other day and they had a killer system, cornwalls, heresys and stuff jay

should already be there (i sent the e mail before posting) jay

craig... the checks in the mail jay

the video switching in the dennon should be up to the task of component video. you have already mentioned an issue with interconnect lengths. id run the component from the dvd/cable/sat box to the dennon and run one long set to tv. less clutter less cash output for the cables and you wont have to change sources twice( the tv and the reciever) every time you change sources. jay

if i could figure out the pay pal thing im in or how about you bring one with you to the airport in the morning. (i didnt know that you live in houston by the way) small world jay

what kind of tv do you have? does it support component video? jay

cancun man, cancun sr. froggs capt'n hooks hard rock cafe ect ect its odd but they have a big shortage of corona each time we leave for like the next two weeks jay

sweet!!! ill be in houston for 45 minutes this morning from 8:22 to 9:07 on our way out of the country look forword to meeting you jay

do you have a db meter?? if not you NEED one follow the set up menue in the reciever things like distance from the sweet spot for each channel ect use the db meter to set your levels ( you can do this by ear but it wont sound as good as it could) sounds like you'll have a nice sounding system if something doesn't sound right ask questions here someone will know the answer good luck jay

have you reset your speaker levels get out that db meter and see how much adding that rear channel changed your set up jay

dean i thought about that and covered the mid/high drivers. the upper mid bass lower midrange sounds comeing out of the woofer were way muddy. would a pair of your crossovers fix this? it has to effect the overall sound of the cornwalls thanks jay

good info,guys!! i didnt know they had dts music discs looks like they have a little something for everyone http://www.dtsonline.com/entertainment/catalogue/music.php jay

today in preperation for leaving town for a week i did an inventory of all my drivers( i listen to every driver in every speaker to make sure they all work) for thoes of you who my listening habbits, you know why that way when i get home if somethings smoked i know whos to blame! now for my question: the woofers in both cornwalls seem to be running near full range? i also have a pair of heresys and the woofers seem to be crossed a lot lower? is this normal or have i developed a crossover prob?? thanks jay
