Will this only work with the ported mod?
-
I would be interested. Would the efficiency drop?

My SUPER SPUDs have what looks like mattress padding... The egg carton looking kind.

Ask him if he will take $1k cash and the rest in Monopoly money.

Those look like the HIPs... I have a pair that are in black without the metal edge guards and I paid $500 for the pair used. I don't see any reason those would be worth that much more than the ones I bought. I agree the owner was smoking crack or some other mind altering drug to pay $10k for 4 of them. I would be more inclined to believe $2500 for all 4 brand new,.. I am not even sure they would be that much new.

I was looking at Quietrock and i found out that the one that is being compared is their least effective and least expensive one. If you get Quietrocks best product it is around $100 a sheet, which I believe is the ones that is supposed to be better than multiple layers of drywall.

Those won't last long at that price.

The difference between audio and video cables is that the video cables are all 75 ohm which is fine for audio and video... So video can be used for audio but audio cables are not a good match for video.

Frys is not known for knowledgeable sales people. If you ever go in there and find one who knows what they are talking about get their name and always use them!

Well when the picture starts to dim you will be able to remove the filter and re calibrate it... I still think it is better to have a picture that is too bright to start off with as it will last longer between bulbs.

It seems like there has been a big push for more lumens over the last several years, but sometimes I think it might be a case of "too much of a good thing".
After spending several happy years with an Epson 7500UB Pro Cinema (pretty much same as 6500UB), I recently decided to upgrade. I wanted to stay under $2000, so a couple weeks ago I bought one of the last Epson 5010 "B-Stock" units from Projector People for $1649 shipped (it only had 10 hrs on lamp, and comes with the full 2-year warranty.) The 5010 is 95% the same as the 5030, particularly in 2D performance.
After reading all the great reviews of the Epson 5010/20/30 projectors, I was disappointed when I got it installed and discovered that it was actually too bright. I'm using it on a 108" 16:9 matte-white screen in a basement room with no windows, but with light walls. Even with the lamp in Eco mode, the iris enabled, and the projector set to Cinema Night, the image was still blazing, resulting in a room that was too bright, blacks that were not very black, and colors that were washed out. I do photography as a hobby, and it was basically like take a picture that was overexposed.
I ended up fixing the problem by affixing a 77mm ND4 "Neutral Density" filter in front of the lens. Unfortunately, Epson did not include threads on the lens ring of the 5010, so there is not an easy way to put a filter in place. So right now it's kind of rigged up with a piece of stiff paper and tape, and I'm trying to think of a more elegant way to mount the filter. But at least I have my image quality back for movies.
Don't get me wrong, the extra brightness is definitely nice for watching sports and TV with some lights on, and it would probably be good for video games (as well as 3D). But I watch 95% movies on my projector, so I just didn't need all that brightness. I just wish Epson would have put threads on the lens ring. I was just at my parents house the other day, and I was annoyed to see that even their old Panasonic PT-AE900U has threads!
I'm just surprised that I haven't seen more people complaining about their newer projectors being too bright.
Did you try going into the settings and calibrating the picture... It will usually make the picture less bright.

Don't know... I was just trying to find something that might work and looked like what Danley used when they built them.

Here is an idea... 1/4" felt that is made of wool! http://www.thefeltstore.com/default.aspx?CN=9B31637848BB I also saw some that had adhesive backing too. Here is some eco wool felt... http://www.sutherlandfelt.com/ecofelt.htm

I was looking to see if you could get mineral wool in 1/4" thick panels but no luck... I wonder if You could get the 1" thick and then go to an upholstery shop and see if they could cut it down to the width of the SPUD and then cut it to 1/4" thick strips.

The pics that I had seen before showed a pad of some sort that was attached to the walls in some manner.

Couldn't the reason for the difference in sound of cables me nothing more than inductance, capacitance, and resistance?

I had a Epson 1080 when they first came out and I just got the BenQ w1070 in July 2013...
The negatives to the W1070 are... The lens shift is very minimal, and I do occasionally see rainbows. The positives are... The bulbs last 3 times as long, and the projector is much brighter. I dialed mine in, and I am running it in low power mode and I was getting 21 ftl on a 134" screen. This is considerably brighter than my Epson was but the biggest thing for me was bulb life.
IMO the only advantages to the Epson are:.. Overnight replacement during your warranty and the Lens shift makes it easy to put the projector virtually anywhere you want to.

Ooh... Well this is what they are called:

404 miles, well, not bad. oh what the hell, what harm can an email do ?
Did you grab the ones I posted earlier that were in Concord for $900?

I bet it is solid! Mine is only 1 1/2" thick on the sides only and 1 1/4" on the bottom. top and back, and it is getting to heavy for me to lift by myself with out the woofer, and we are talking just the bass bin!
-
This is what I have so far on the mods...
The sides are Maple with the top, front, and rear black. The top I am spacing up 1/4" and I have a piece of MDF to try out the look. I might end up just leaving it be MDF and paint it black too... The other option is black marble with white veins in it. Not sure how much I want to fix them up as in a couple of months they will only be seen if you go behind the screen.
Once I get this part done then I will work on mounting the horns. Once that is done I will be able to get the other 2 done pretty fast.
DIY sub
in Subwoofers
Posted · Edited by ellisr63
Well the DIY sub is off the to do list for now... As I now have 2 Danley DTS-10 subs.
I am hoping I am able to match them to my La Scalas sonically. We might be starting on the new HT as soon as next week! I am hoping to get it completed far enough to start testing speaker positions in a couple of weeks, and then once that is all finalized do the sound proofing and acoustic treatments. 
Does anyone know if this would be a good amp to drive the Danley DTS-10 subs?
