"The Circuit City I was in the other day had football on and I didn't see any bluring."
steve, the ones who do seem to notice any of that tend to be CRT (projector) fiddlers, & guys who sell Pioneer Plasma. [

a brunette w/ blue eyes is a rarity, & from my experience, usually quite the hot babe.
but it still comes down to character. watch out for the
bleach blondes; but, again, I've met some bleach blondes who were
still upstanding ladies. [

born2,
yeah, that almost kept me outta the game for the sxrd, but it takes a
1080i input & well I don't know how it could do much noticably
better w/ a 1080p input, which, I GUESS, will be available some day
(now only via computer graphic card).
actually, when I looked at it at C-City, the Super there insisted they
were feeding it 1080p w/ their laptop. probably 1080i
though, as, as usual, they don't know WTF they're talkin' about at f'n
C-City or B-Buy.
all I can say is this video-in-box does my cheap toshiba 540p dvd
excellent. nice scaler. & deinterlacing is much easier
than scaling. when it gets a 1080i input I don't know if I
or many could tell the dif from a 1080p input.
& NO, I'm not a Sony dealer or anything. I just really like
mine. & it hasn't even been professionally calibrated yet.

yup, that's the plasma premium. sxrd should change
that. so you have to buy a $250 bulb every
year.....A-B test 'em. [

here's another good SXRD review:
-
Steve,
does the Pioneer have a Contrast Ratio OVER 11000:1? does
it have black level down to 0.006 Lums? does it have great
color, maybe slightly off (to an expert w/ equipment) but "where it's
off, it's off in the right way"?
'nuff said.
but if it were a choice between video & Klipsch......hmmmm, let me think on that. ;-)

"
Boa,
Got mine for 1,690.00(bt) with free shipping and they threw in 80.00 componet video cables!"
nice, was that online &/or a mail order house? I got my SXRD
for $3900 no tax delivered by private truck (after airlifted from JFK
to KCI) from a good outfit/people in Syracuse, NY.
however, the g-friend's sis HAD to buy local. you know women. ;-)
what box is it you have? Scientific Atlanta (Explorer), Motorola, or Pioneer?
that's usually covering all.

"Savaged by conservative commentators in The Washington Post and New York Times"
colin, I still want to see this film, but don't understand the
above. where'd that come from, The Guardian? there are NO
"conservative" commentators at neither the NY Times nor the WA
Post. or are they not talkin' politics? LOL
-
btw, if that's the KDF LCD, I got that same Sony down to $1750 + tax at
best buy for my girlfriend's twin sister. (YES, Best Buy & CC
& such WILL negociate price!). It DOES have an
excellent picture. be sure to set your cable box output (if
available) to output in ONLY 720p. the sonies like to get
fed the same resolution as their native, especially if you have a good chip in the box to do it for' em.
for my 1080p, I output w/ my SciAtlanta Explorer 8300 in ONLY 1080i, as
that box has the ATI WonderChip for a scaler, & then my Sony just
takes that 1080i & line-doubles (deinterlaces) it to1080p.
even best to do that way for standard definition TV, though we know how
crummy an SD output can be on such fine (revealing) TVs. a
lot like klipsch playing a crappy recording. ;-)
as for a dvd, until we get true HD-DVD (or Sony's Blu-Ray) output, I'm keeping my cheap Toshiba, 540p progressive, which the
Sonies can simply scale to 720p or 1080p (a nice 2X multiplier of the
540p).
happy viewing!

if ye want top of the line Sony, as in, it blows the shorts off of any
plasma, check out the Sony SXRD KDS----XBR 50 or 60. though Sony
LCD are excellent, this is not LCD - it's LCOS, & it's 1080p
output. killa!

ohhhhh, a housekeeper AND a snitch - what a dweeb-Mary!
yeah, I'll just go make another 100k THIS month while you waste away
other's time here, being a pedant nerd. then again, that's the
best
utility for YOUR time, I'm sure. LMAO
take it from me guys, after working my A$$ off & helping people
left & right here for a couple years 5 years ago, this place ain't
worth your time. though there are many great & knowledgeable
folks here, it still ain't worth your time w/ the clown scum like this, which are only here 'cause they have absolutely no other
life. hell, what woman would ever want to go near
such a nerd AND an a-hole. LMAO
so tell me Dr Freeze or whatever it is, (rhetorical question)
specifically which horns do MY original '84 Cornwalls have,
egghead? yeah, I thought so (hard, if not impossible, to
google it, LOL)
now I know why Keith & other great ones of the past stay away from
here. though, nothing against the great guys still
here. nothing against Klipsch either - still a great
company. such is the internet today. [:|]
good luck & happy listening, except to the s-heads! [

LOL. obviously, it takes one to know one. ;-)
so you joined 2 months or so AFTER me. I've been gone 5 YEARS,
while you've been here the whole time being the major no-life
dweeb. I think the class can figure out the ratio of how
long it took you to get where you ain't. LOL
can't answer my question about 1.5s? figures.
can't address that I need a SINGLE? figures.
& show me where anybody HERE said a Heresy III was NOT a timbre
match for MY Cornwalls. clowns like you wouldn't know a Heresy
III if it bit you on your dumb ***.
you don't even know who you're messin' with, punk. ;-)
-
frnz, hey calm down, dude. like I told the DR, see my # of
posts - I was on here doing thousands of posts when you were in
diapers, junior. in fact, I bet a lot of the so called advice
you're givin' now originated w/ me, though you're too stupid to
remember. LOL
i've been gone for 5 yrs, but I think you're dead wrong. I have
Cornwall I.5. bet you don't even know which horns that
entails. LMAO
if anything, it'd be the Heresy II that match my Cornwall ONE-POINT-FIVES, housekeeper.
now find me a SINGLE Heresy II in Cherry. YOU gonna split a pair? LMAO
I'm gettin' the Hell away from here again, & work w/ folks who know
what the hell they're talkin' about, unlike you & the good DR,
& more like the other nice guys here such as above, besides you & DR
Gertrude. ;-)
actually, though there are STILL some guys here who have stayed active
w/ Klipsch over the last 5 yrs (unlike myself w/ Heritage), & know
their stuff (read: mostly in 2-Channel), I'll be dealing directly w/
the guys at Klipsch.
now, go back to your "prettiest girl on the planet thread". I
remember you when you arrived, AFTER I was much more active here
before & after your arrival, & you don't know WTF you're doin' anymore now than then.
chow! & thanks to everyone here that's NOT an a-hole! [

Ki, where/how'd you have the Heresy placed?
I'm really leaning toward the Heresy III new in Cherry, wall mounted
behind TV, speaker Verticle & Upside-down. that's the
only real way I could buy a single Heresy in Cherry quick.
however w/ its new tweeter, concerned the new Heresy III wouldn't be the best timbre match for my Cornwall I.5 fronts.
-
& the one & only Academy on Ebay just went for over $500!
I'm still trying to pick between a "new" Academy for FC, or a Heresy
II, or even a III, to go between the current Cornwall I.5 & replace
the C-7 for rear surr duty.
maybe I should just stick w/ the C-7 & get another (hard to find also).

"
Seriously, why bother?
If you are listening
to music then 2-channel is fine (perhaps supplemented with an additive
center). When you go beyond that, then you are in the world of gimmicks
and effects."
PT, for 2.0 sources, three words:
seven "channel" stereo
gimmicky? yes. the right kind o' gimmicky? oh yes, 'specially for parties. [<

ki, thanks, that is a concern, though, sorry I should have mentioned that the Sony SXRD is an RPTV. from what I've
found, the CRT should be the only really vulnerable.
I know that from personal experience w/ my Toshiba TheaterWide CRT,
& installing EIGHT bucking magnets on my KLF-30. [:|]
-
yeah DR, looks like smoke rollin' outta that Denon top, &
you're going to need a lot of window treatment for that DLP flashlight.
see how the eye-for-an-eye works? least I stayed on topic. LOL

"Cluless": You Have PM! [

thanks olorin, that's valuable info. I started another thread in
HT, "Heresy VS Academy" to get more on my
topic. & despite a protest from some
housekeeper. LOL
-
hey DR, check my # of posts. when a thread gets so far off the
original topic, I start a new thread. are ya "one of those"
that goes into "the prettiest girl on the planet" in
a thread started about whether to use both input jacks on a sub?
[
]iow, if you don't have anything constructive to add, MYOB. 'kay? [
]& now we're off topic. so, btw, I really enjoyed the Wiesn in Munich last year.
Prost! LOL

thanks for the reply j.4k! I have '84 Cornwalls , which if
I remember right (a lil rusty) actually had the newer tweet &
(maybe) mid horn of the Corn II combined w/ the previous woof as found
in the Corn I, the (eminence)E-34. hence the informal moniker "Cornwall I.5".
so if this is correct, the best match would be the Heresy II (?), which I
think is discontinued. If Klipsch would make me a single
one of those in cherry w/ inverted horns, that would be the
ideal. I'd be glad to wall mount it then, though I have a feeling
I'd have stud placement problems there again w/ this new/older house.
mounted an lcd tv by the bar, & the studs were all over - one set
only 3
in. apart & the next one was another 20" away. as w/
murhpy's law, & the mount needing to be directly in bewteen the
stups, I finally had to use a
board, & that tv was only about 20lbs, compared to the Heresy at I
think 45lbs.
I think I agree already. forget the academy & that holy grail
premium. I need the mini-cornwall heresy. that'll be
phase 2 anyway, cause I can use the current C-7 FC now, as it'll be
awhile before I get set-up for 2 C-7 mounted on the backwall for 7.1.
I'm going to commence the wiring tomorrow, in between the NFL
plays. isn't that what the instant replay & the dvr's for
anyway? ;-)
-
thanks guys. great info all.
so here's my bottom line, i.e., dilemma, trilemma, or quadralemma:
do I get an Academy in Oak for $400+ (my Corns are refinished in a
splendid Cherry), or do I go for a Heresy II (used, & probably using only one out of the pair)), or Heresy III
(new, & definitely a single in Cherry)?
you know I'll be on a personal quest for the answer (or those who know me do). [

hey dean! did you see my private message to you?
also, I started a Heresy VS Academy thread in HT. I need your
help, mon!

Where can I buy new Heresy's?

here's a (Heritage) Klipsch AUTHORIZED dealer in KS that does mail order (read: no sales tax); ask for Stelly:
800-716-3553
prob is, he's far away from even me, so hard to demo. though he sounds real liberal on returns.
