  1. Great movie,especially with DTS. I would suggest tweaking your center channel if dialogue was a problem and yes lottsa bass.
  2. Maybe move your Heresies to the rear and buy another pair of Chorus.Small reference won't put out enough to keep up.
  3. I've bought three B&K amps on Ebay. All have been good buys and they sound great. You will be pleased new or used.
  4. Has anyone seen this? I picked up a DVD over the weekend. I didn't know what to expect. I clicked on the DTS selection and the opening scene with the thirty foot waves was amazing. The audio in this movie top to bottom is world class. It doesn't matter if you like Bond or not, this thing for demos is a must have. Enjoy.

    Terrible. Even Dts 6.1 can't save this turkey. Stay away. Worst N Cage movie ever.
  6. That must be a BIG sound. The Chorus is a powerfull speaker.
  7. Go with the most up to date processor. Old amps can sound very good.
  8. I have a Pioneer 912X and find it versatile and a bargain in price.
  9. Ebay is a great addition to the marketplace and bargains can be had,with a little patience. I always use pay pal. I've bought three pairs of Klipsch speakers and three B&K amps on Ebay.
  10. Sweet. This forum never disappoints me. Great knowledge and ideas. PS I may add Cornwalls to my system.
  11. Some on this forum dislike 5.1. I think it's great. As in films you need to balance your system.
  12. I feel free to do what I want in my "theatre room" in the basement. This is "monster" heritage.I am most carefull about the family room on the main floor. We have been happily married for 36 years but I recognize the limits.Small and "stylish" is the word.
  13. Thank you for posting that. Just what I've been looking for.
  14. Check out used on Ebay or Audiogon,and don't overlook vintage Klipsch.
  15. Building your HT is great fun. I used a Pioneer receiver as a jumping off point. My system is heritage and I went to Ebay for my amps. Klipsch speakers love clean current. My Pioneer is now strickly pre-pro and I'm using three 2 channel B&K amps. Sounds great.
  16. I ran a Heresy at center before I bought a pair of sweet Choruses from Rich Place. Dialog was never a problem. Boost your center EQ,better yet get an amp.
  17. I bought this version about a month ago. Dittos on the Imax disc. The DTS output is outstanding. The launch scene is demo city.
  18. Try the Eagles Melbourne concert in DTS and switch it to stereo and then switch it back.
  19. My feelings about vinyl are mixed. I'm old enough to have grown up with it,so naturally I have alot of records. Some of this music probably won't be digitized and that keeps me hanging in. Duke is right about the sound of digital. With more 5.1 out there every day and DTS HD coming, I'm not putting any more into VINYL.
  20. There is one drummer on this recording. His name is Jimmy Cobb. The drummer is mellow as is this music. The remaster is on the Columbia label. Thru 2004 Kind Of Blue has sold Ten million copies worldwide.
  21. Allan it sounds like you are a record man. So am I but this music in 5.1 is new ground.
  22. Costco is selling this Davis best seller in a new format. The disc is two sided. Side one is a standard CD. Side two is a DVD. Part of side two is the album done in stunning 5.1 audio. I've never heard this cut sound better in any format. A/B with the CD side is revealing. The 5.1 gives you a very open spacious stage. The clarity of the horns, played thru my Klipsch heritage system is real. The rest of the DVD is a 25 minute documentary and interview session with various musicians about the music,which helps me appreciate the work. The price is $12.99. Hurry.
