  1. I enjoyed this movie. If you think this movie is bad, try "The Human Centipede".

    The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is a 2010 Dutch horror film written and directed by Tom Six. The film tells the story of a German doctor who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a "human centipede". Wikipedia

    That about says it. I can say I will not even attempt to watch this.

  2. For the sub RW-12d check out newegg sometimes at $300

    I also started with the RF-52 II for the fronts but ended upgrading to the RF-82 II and moved the 52's to the rear surrounds.

    The nice thing with a 7.1 receiver is even if you never use it for rear surrounds is you can set those outputs for another room for speakers for music.

    The Pioneer AVR can do this. Not sure on the onkyo.

  3. The next clip was the Dolby Labs' Dolby Spheres Trailer. It is a computer generated clip to show off the discrete channels of a 7.1 system. The surround effects are pretty good as all the multicolored spheres bounce onto the screen from behind the viewer. The LFE track plays rather low. The SW-115 played the clip with authority. The bass was fast and as tight as the Klipsch SW-110 and other smaller subs I have heard from Velodyne, Paradigm, and PSB.

    The last scene I watched a few times was DTS's DTS Paint Symphony. The bass in this track can make a less powerful sub distort. When the director turns on the "Master Audio" switch and the bass kicks in, it isn't a particularly pleasing bass note. I have heard the Klipsch SW-110 and SW-112 distort here. The SW-115 did not. In defense of the smaller subs that can't play this track with authority, they were probably too small and underpowered for the rooms they were in.

    Did you find these for download on the internet? I can not seen to figure how to download from utube any more.

    Anyone found anywhere to download all of these to be able to burn on dvd? All I can do is watch/listen on my computer.

  4. I know what you mean. I have been loving mine every day for 6 months.

    I ended up getting the model 733 with the yellow pixels.

    I have just left mine on auto calibration and have been happy with the results.

    Let the nitpickers nit and I will keep on enjoying my set.

  5. I've tried pure direct on the avr, but that bypasses the speaker settings I setup in the AVR, and I don't think it sounds quite as good because of the slightly differing sensitivities and distances of the speakers.

    I guess I was under the assumption that pure direct just did not use the EQ settings that is made up when doing the MCACC setup? But it did use all the speaker distance and sound level setting that it made in the MCACC? So are you saying that the pure direct does not use any of the MCACC settings? I guess what I want is for it to use the speaker distance and level data but not the EQ.

    Is there any threads that talk about setting up the PS3 for for best sound and video quality? There are so many things in the setup that I just do not understand like upscaler, bitstream, linear pcm, dynamic range control, crossfade playback, bitmapping, dynamic normalizer, output frequency, ps upscaler, ps smoothing. I do not really care to understand any of that just what is the best settings.

  6. Sounds like someone needs a ban hammer dropped?

    Didn't yo momma tell you if you don't have anything good to say then STFU?

    If you don't like Klipsch they why are you here?

    While it may have been harsh It certainly wasn't my intention to trash his system, more trash Klipsch and there recent sub offerings. I'v eowned the 12 version and it was a cheap piece of crap. Too each their own. Like I said the money would have been better spent elsewhere. I'm not going to sugar coat my feelings just to please the rest of the blind Klipsch followers.

  7. Schu, if you're that impressed with a cheaply made piece of crap you would be knocked unconsious by something worth the money from a company like SVS, HSU... etc. My guess is you've only ever owned that level of subwoofer so it's not really your fault. You have no idea what you are missing in terms of build quality. You could have done so much better for your money, but too each their own. Rock on!

    Dude....Really? Are we in the Jr high? The guy just spent his hard earned money on this and all you can say is some childish put down?

  8. In my research in trying to find a town in Oregon that would be a good place to live I found this site.

    http://www.city-data.com/

    Go to Florida and pick the town size. Less than 1000, 1000 to 6000 or more than 6000.

    There is more information than necessary on this site.

    Info about crime, housing costs, weather, education, industries and so much more.

    By using this I have found the perfect town that I want to move to.

    Now I just need to figure out how to make it happen.

    Not sure if it is true but I remember somebody talking about how areas with low humidity are good for allergys?

    There is some nice places in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.

  9. The benefit of owning the actual DVDs is it will come with the red, blue and green filters that you use to set those color levels correctly. You won't be able to adjust color or tint correctly without them

    I found a down load one and made a DVD and it seemed with the TV set on auto it did not really need any adjustment. Obviously I was not able to do the color and tint. By watching it however I did figure out my ps3 was not sending full info to the TV.

    Did you find that you ended up adjusting much when you did this?

    Any one tried this one "Spears & Munsil High-Definition Benchmark Blu-ray". It had some good reviews on amazon.

  10. HUGE leap in picture quality over the DLP. Brightness, clarity, everything is much, much better. I really don't see a difference in size between the two. If the 80" would have been less expensive I would have opted for it but I got such a good deal on the 70" that I couldn't pass it up.

    I have been super happy with mine also.

    The only problem I found is I remember when I got it home it seemed way bigger in my basement than when it was in the store.

    It still amazes me how cool it runs. If its been on for hours you can not find any part of it that is more than room temp.
