They're not computer-controlled lights. None of that is actually happening in realtime. It's a stop-motion video. If you look to the upper-left behind the house, you'll see a neighboring house's light go on and off consistently with certain lights.
Did you even start to read what someone else had posted about this:
WRONG, WRONG and MORE WRONG!!!!
Look at the left side of the house, and notice that tower in the distance with the white blinking "airplane light". It blinks constantly, at about a second interval, through-out the video. If somebody was screwing around with the video footage with a digital video editing program, they would definitly messed up that blinking light in the background. I highly doubt anybody is that good with such a program to prevent that from messing up. That video is indeed legit. The seemingly jumping around vegetation at the bottom is just simply an artifact of the compression (which that guy had to compress quite a bit to make it managable for upload - would love to see a the full resolution video, or better yet, see the actual display - wonder if he is doing it again this year. Damn shame he doesn't say where he is at in the PlanetChristmas forum)
And for farther proof, I found this thread on ChristmasPlanet.com where the guy (one Mr. Carson Williams) that did the display started. According to him, it consists of some 16,000 lights and uses 88 Light-O-Rama (LOR) channels. He did it for last years (2004) Christmas. It seems Light-O-Rama is some outfit that makes programmable controllers and associated software. This is all done to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Wizards of Winter" track, form thier The Lost Christmas Eve album. Anybody with a little patience and technical know-how can pull this off.
I am certainly impressed, and has me inspired to want to try something like that!
There you go, Mr. Skeptic. [:@]

I'd really like to upgrade to a different subwoofer such as the Sub-12. Most of the subwoofers I've been looking at don't have any RCA outputs, though. I like having the subwoofer amplify the bass and leave the rest for my HK to amplify.
I used to use the high level input/output on my sub when I had my Sony receiver hooked up because it didn't have any pre-outs.
So why don't more subwoofers have an output section?

Not quite Animusic, but a definite jaw-dropper!
-
See my post here about how to get the first Animusic for less than $10 shipped!
-
If you go the tube route, get a Sony.
If you go projection, get a Mitsubishi.
Anything else (LCD, etc), go Samsung.

What's wrong with watching movies on nice speakers? If anyone else on here is like me, they have the volume turned up LOUD for most movies. Why not have speakers that can handle it and sound great at the same time?
Highest speed limit you'll find in the U.S. is 70mph on some interstates. Are you going to be confused by everyone who drives something other than a Geo Metro? I mean, what's the point of having a car that can do over 70mph if there isn't anywhere legally you can drive that fast?

Other than that, it's got balls to spare
Don't I know it! [6]

I'd try between 80hz and 100hz. Experiment with some different music and see. Too high of a setting will have a boomier sound on a lot of subs. Too low of a setting and the sub will hardly ever play.
-
So did the seller discount them another $10 or something? Looks like $530 to me. Not that big of a bargain then, eh? [

Might be the fact that they're some of the heaviest speakers Klipsch makes. Some macho sales guy thinks he can move them by himself.
Or maybe the macho customer trying to convince his wife to get them. "See, honey, I can lift them all by myself....oops! Sorry about that! Hey, you guys ever do scratch and dent sales?"
-
Haha...Bose in the Crew Room!

How about having a link button to your eBay auctions somewhere here on the forum?
Done and done. Move your mouse over the word 'Shop' at the top of the screen and click on 'Klipsch @ eBay'

Someone I know went to a wedding recently that had a chocolate fountain.
I have to admit, watching the movie really made me hungry for candy in general! [^]

I've had my best success selling things on eBay with auctions that start at $1.00 with no reserve. I was going to put a $75 buy-it-now on a pair of Definitive Technology surround speakers and they ended up selling for over $200!
Just be sure to take plenty of pictures and describe any defects in the speakers in detail. Also, try and end the auction on the weekend in the evening, around 9-10pm or so.
Trust me, they'll sell for what they're worth. There's enough people on eBay these days that you'll get what you want for them, and maybe more!

When I first purchase my speakers I was particularly smitten by the sound of an acoustic guitar. Even in so-so recordings they sound so alive. And in very nice recordings...WOW
How about the rest of you?

Its not a very long run, 3 feet at most. I just won a set of Monster Cables on eBay for $3.01. I'll be looking for another set and then I'll see how it goes.
I used to have cables coming out my ears. I guess the last couple times I've moved they got legs. [
] -
Right now I have two sets of pretty thin, generic interconnect cables going from my HK 730 to my subwoofer and then back to the 730 (pre-out, pre-in loop).
Would I notice any improvement in sound if I purchased a decent set of cables? I know that with speaker cables the general consensus is not to worry too much about them. Is the same true with interconnects (RCA cables)?
-
No, it's not true. My Mitsubishi HDTV does 480i, 480p and 1080i. It goes crazy if you try and feed it a 720p signal.
-
If you wait until www.deepdiscountdvd.com has it, you'll save a decent amount of $$.
They have the first DVD on there for $11.98 including shipping.

Willy, that surfing experience must have really messed your brain up. What does that have to do with the craziest audio thing you've done?? [:^)][8-)][*-)]

Wow! Tim Burton has made some weird stuff over the years, but this was great! Johnny Depp was 110% perfect as Willie Wonka. Lots of humor, beautifully designed and colorful scenes.
Rent it tonight!!

Why don't more subs have inputs AND outputs?
