    First time Projector purchase

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    So I did it! I purchased the BenQ HT2050 last night with a Elite Screens 110" motorized drop down screen. I could have done a bigger screen but that would of required me to move my sub somewhere else, but it sounds amazing where it is. I measured and tapped off the area where the new screen is going to be and its a HUGE jump in size from my 64" Samsung. Everything should get here by Wednesday this coming week. Thanks again for everyone's suggestions and info.

    The most important question..................What took you so long!!!

    Seriously! I'm glad the time has finally come!

     

     

     

    If you're looking at the 2050, you might as well get the 3050, it's on promotion right now and is also sub-$1K.

    This is true, and falls in my under $1k budget.

     

     

     

    Perhaps. The 3050 is a different projector and may offer things he doesn't need. Also, he would be giving up the 33.1ms input lag for a 49.7 ms of the 3050.

    I do play games, but not twitch based competitive shooter games. More like rpgs, God of War, Street Fighter, racing games, and single player shooter that aren't so fast paced.

     

     

     

    I posted this link above: http://www.projector...ctor-review.htm

     

    I am currently reading this.

     

     

     

    Have you thought about what screen you would use?

     

    I'm still looking into that, any recommendations?

     

    Ultimately I just want something that's bigger than my 64" Samsung, and will hold me over till I own my home and I can spend a few thousand on a stellar projector in a dedicated movie room.

     

    Thanks again for all your guys info!

    Here's a little size comparison next to an RB-81 and an RSW-15

    Crites A/4500 or AB-2 Networks for Belle's

    in Technical/Restorations

    I think I told you this in our PM, but I was wondering the same thing too. Something you might also want to consider dude, is your Belle's midhorn. I talked with Al K that does the ALK xovers and he recommended swapping out the horn first. So I contacted Dave from fastlandaudio, and ordered pair of Fastrac horns for my Scalas. Gonna take 3-4's before I pick them up but after taking with Dave he said swapping the K400 in my Scala would cut done on the shrillness that can sometimes be present and improve overall sound quality.

    Dave's Fastlane fastrac horns?

    I'm looking into a pair of Dave's fastracs for my La Scalas. For those of you that have them, how are they compared to the K400 horn?

    I am interested in this myself. From what I have read so far they are more 'open' than the stock K400 horn. I am pretty sure a couple of members here have them in their 'Scalas
    How do you like the Crites tweets and xovers in your Scalas?

    La Scala question regarding speaker Height

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Thanks for the input fellas. 

     

    After having my K-horns for a bit, and even though they were in a less than desirable space, I very much appreciated the mid, and tweeter being at ear level. Now my Scalas are in the corner and even though they don't dig very deep, the bass is quite good for what it produces, and was wondering if raising them up a little bit might give a little overall sound quality improvement.

     

    With that being said, I'll probably just leave the Scalas how they are. They are the best two channel speakers that I have ever owned, and was just curious if I could cheaply pull a little more SQ out of an already amazing speaker.

     

    Chris A thanks for the link, the info was appreciated.
