    Epson 8100 1080p Projector $650

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    Purchased the Epson 8100 about 8 months ago as a 'Manufacturer Refurb' unit. It comes with 2 years warranty on bulb/lamp.

    The projector currently has about 200 hours on it. However, I have an EXTRA lamp which I will include. The unit was also calibrated with HCFR and i1Display Pro meter.

    Will ship in original box with remote, manual, and cable. $650 plus shipping.

    Thanks

    you can't go wrong with either a Panny or Epson for the money.

    and no matter what pj you end up getting, you're going to need to do some tweakings to get the best pictures out of them. sure they look great out of the box, but you'll be surprise at the improvements after some minor tweaks.

    Lets see YOUR Home Theater:

    Nice setup smokarz! Put on Tron Legacy and move those fifteens!

    How do you like the CS-1? Read and dreamed about it more than once.

    I really like them. They have very good details/dynamics, and the midbass is loud and tight (after about 100hrs). They measured down to about 35hz in my room (mostly room gain) and falls off around 14/15khz.

    and with 4 15' subs taking care of the lfe, i don't miss the cornwalls at all.

    why the Heritage line has faded?

    size and price are big factors i think. the same reason why people don't have JBL pro speakers in their HT room, even if they have the cash.

    with most people's typical 15x25 ht room, having 6 or 7 of these speakers in such a room is very challenging. and as much as i love the cornwalls, i had to let them go mainly due to size. with quality speakers half the size and 1/10th of the price, combined with some very good subs, you have yourself a pretty decent setup and not miss the big ole heritage at all.

    Does Klipsch heritages need subwoofer?

    short answer: "ABSOLUTELY"

    however, it depends on the listener's preference as well as needs.

    i had a pair of cornwalls and for music, i felt a sub (or subs) were not necessary. i like to listen to the CW in 'direct' mode. they had plenty of bass for any type of music.

    for movies, i just don't think there are any speakers that can dig below 20hz and still provide reference SPL. even those speakers that cost half of my annual income.

    with movies, you definitely need subs regardless of the heritage speakers in use.

    but do keep in mind that there are not that many subs in the market which can keep up with the heritage speakers. and some members here built subs the size of refrigerator.

    the speakers you linked, imo, is really a waste with the big heritage speakers that you have.

    i just finished building a pair of Heresy clones, and that is being supported by 4 15" subs which give me flat down to about 10hz. and watching Battle Los Angeles at -18db causes the dishes to fall off the racks upstairs.
