What is the new unit? The 1098 is a couple years old isn't it?

You don't need a new receiver if the decoding is done in the source component.

Dolby Digital Plus is compatable with current DD receivers according to the Dolby site and other sources I heard.

Black it is. Matches my McIntosh.

And David Letterman! That's more fun than humans should have.

Thanks Dr. Who, I will check out the information. I can't guarantee that it won't go in one ear and out the other. I originally planned to use the speakers side by side, but like I said was told that is a no-no A question could be made to if there is any room conditioning/ treatments that could optimize the listening room (if needed).

I was speaking about the vertical dispersion in theory. It is sufficient in this setup. There is not a noticable increase in bass because the top woofer is not coupled to the floor. The added mid and high horn add to the total sound which is 'bigger'. It sounds incredible with horn music, which I like.

I used a little KV-3 for quite a while with my fortes and it sounded OK for HT. I own Academy but was too big to put on my TV at the time.

Should not there be more total vertical dispersion because of adding a second speaker?

I did'nt want to break any 'sonic laws'. It sounds good to me this way. I like the way when you stand up the sound does not drop off. I found its kind of like a wall of sound with more vertical dispersion into the listening area. That is part of the idea to get more sound right? That way I don't have to drive the amp as hard. I've got the surrounds included anyway.

Sometimes when listening to a CD I get Citizens Band coming into my speakers equal to the volume of listening. How does my system pick this up? Sometimes it is very loud (and annoying). One time I even heard some foreign language slavic(?) radio very faint through the speakers. very weird! What is going to happen when the govt. auctions off the tv bands to first responders in regards to radio interference?

I tried my 2 pairs of chorus(s) stacked,with one on top of one another, with the top speaker inverted. (horn of the top speaker down, so the tweeters are together at ear level, and the woofer up.) Has anyone tried this and what was your opinion of the result. I was told that this is the sonically correct way to stack them to avoid sound wave cancelling. (can't be put side by side, or on top of each other)

This is a pet peave of mine, but why does it take forever to release older films when the new films come out right away? I have been waiting YEARS for a short list of films. Some are US, some are UK. This is a major dissapointment of the DVD format in my opinion. We will be into HD/Blu DVD format before some of the older films are out, if ever.

Does anyone know about Klipch signs, wall plaques, etc., I have seen several in photos and wanted to know where one would aquire them.

They better get it together because there is a proposed new holographic disc that is supposed to hold 8 hdtv movies on 1 disc. That might kill off both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.
