  1. The First one was great, The SEcond one was ten times better, but a third? Can they pull it off? I hope it can live up to at least one of its predecessors. I can't wait to see. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  2. DTS sounds better to my ears. It has louder and more prominent rear surround. The sub is fine for me, i havn't really compared DD and DTS though. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  3. I thought panic room was good. It sounded like a movie people. Its 2 people in a room, how much sound would you expect?? It wasn't very suspensful but i liked the plot. It was kinda funny too. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  4. Whoa, i had no idea they had DVD's. What did the DVD have on it or was it a DVD-audio? If it was a regular DVD, where did you get it?(Or a DVD-Audio Too) ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  5. The promedia sets are really good speakers.(Im talking about the 4.1's, i think the 5.1's are exallant.) I like the tweeters, and its something i wish my z-560's had. But i always get this feeling like the sub and the sats are on two different sides of the sound spectrum. I got this tinny sounding sats and this kinda boomy sub sound, and it sounded like they were 500 feet apart, but still in the same room. I don't know if its just because Best Buy sucks, or if i just don't prefer the "Promedia" sound. The Z-560's TO ME sounded much better. The system blends well with all frequencies it can play and its louder. I get no port noise and im scared to try and get some. The thing, as i said before is, that i wish i had a tweeter like the promedia's one. So i have to say that the Z-560's are a better value and the Promedia's are not overpriced, but i just think if you can get what the Z-560 brings for $150, then why spend $250 for what the Promedia brings? The Z-560 IMO is a little more than slightly better than the Promedia 4.1 sets. So i can not really see why the 4.1's are worth the extra $100. A tweeter isn't worth $100. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  6. I'd get the Z-560's, wait, i did. Its a better deal at half the price and i doubt paying twice as much for the promedia's is really worth it. *** Is there really a problem with the Z-560 amp at high volumes? What is that all about? ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  8. So, i shouldn't blast them? Thats sounds kinda rediculous to me because thats what they are made for. I never blasted them full volume and only once in a while i had it over 3\4ths of the way up. And just slightly. There was no distortion at those volume levels. There has to be a way to get these things loud without the amp burning out, right? Please tell me this was a one time occurance! ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  9. You must have got a bad set. Alot of what you said was true but everything you said about the SOUND was... off. The bass is fine, and in no way are the mids and highs screwy sounding.(High, mattalic, as you said.)

  10. My favorite album is "Ok Computer". That's pure genius at work. My favorite song is "Karma Police" I started to get into them about 4 1\2 months ago. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  12. Ear, I didn't touch it while it was playing, right after though. It wasn't hot at all. Just warm. The sub died on me too. It won't make any noises! It sometimes cuts back in but thats after about 1 minute. And its not the connections im sure. Im getting a replacement sub as im talking now. I just faxed them a proof of purchase. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  14. I've got some more bad news on my speakers. They are now making a loud crackling noise with any bass frequncy. They have never crackled before, just a buzz. They are dying, im going to box these up tonight! ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  15. They aren't not reliable. I just got a set with a bad whatever. Im still going with these because i just hate the god awful noises i've heard with the Pro 4.1.(At Best Buy, if it makes any difference) The port noise is way to loud and they sound like a constant "Bright" fest with all that highs.IMO. The Z-560 sound better and they are 100 bucks less. So they aren't as reliable as Klipsch. They are new to high end speakers anyway. They'll learn. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  16. Well they are making god awful noises whenever a 89-109Hz frquency hits them. The port is the problem. Its not noticibly loose but it must not be tight enough if it rattles. If you push on it like i said it goes away. Im not looking for help, i just want to tell everybody im returning them and getting a new set. They sound like a dying animal that is being eaten by lions! Lol! but its not really finny since i have no idea how long it takes buy.com to send a new one! Pray for me, im going to have to hook up my boston ba735's!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  17. I really don't have any other Vc or Sc's around. Does anyone have the cinimaster 99 DVD player on their computer? I do. I can't seem to get surround sound out of that either, the downmix option to 4 speaker doesn't work in DVD genie. Does anyone know how to fix that? All i can get is Stereox2.(Front mirrored to back) ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  18. So 128 ram isn't enough? Are the PowerDVD 4.0 requirments that high? I was thinking that maybe the soundcard is just going bad. I've been using it extensively for the last 2 1\2 years. Its a creative SbLive! Value so its not the greatest and latest soundcard. I hate creative SC's! How can i tell if its the ram or if its the soundcard? I want to know so i don't get a new SC and have it be the ram that was the problem. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  19. Well i reforatted my system and guess what? It didn't fix my PowerDVD 4.0 problems!! Its better and it doesn't completely lock up my system anymore but, i still have this one odd occurance. After i reformatted and stated playing godzilla in 4 speaker mode. I got through the movie until about 10 minutes before it ended, then it froze. Not the whole computer like before, just PowerDVD. It may be that the disk wasn't pefect(It was rented at a place with a reputation for scratches.)or maybe im still being screwed by PowerDVD, I don't know. So check back eventually. I'll probably get to watch a movie either today or tommarow. CHECK BACK!!! I forgot to mention, that it has something to do with resolution on my videocard. In 1024x768 it only gets about 30 seconds to 10 minutes into the movie, dependent on wether or not it decided to freeze. In 800x600 its much better but is still not a tottaly freeze free experience. Now in 640x480 it is so much better that you'd think it was fine, until it decided to freeze 10 minutes before the movie ended! Im clueless here. I have a Nvidia TNT 2 card and the original drivers from when i got the computer. I know your going to say that i need to update to a detonator driver but when i do it screws my machine over and half of my games don't work so i'll try updating but please try and suggest other constructive methods to fix this. Please... ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  21. For Z-560 Owners: Has anyone noticed a buzz whenever a 100hz note hits the sub? Its the port, it buzzes and obviously if you hold it it goes away.(Stopped the buzz) The sub is meant to handle these frequencies so its odd that the port vibrates like that. It happens at any volume exept for barely audible levels. This problem has always happened but i didn't know it was the sub until just recently. Its not the walls or the floor because if you pick it up it still happens.(Note: as i said it goes away when you push down or hold the port.)This is really bothering me, its kindof ruining the music. No other frequency does this. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  22. Why is everybody always dissing BigBusa so much? I think he's funny. Even though i don't beleve anything he sais i still think all that Klipsch Bashing is funny.(Even though they don't deserve bashing.) ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  23. Maybe its port noise? How loud do you play these things? I tested them out at best buy and with the sub at the dash it gave me some port noise. But i don't know why it would hurt your ears unless you are making the sub do volume levels which are tottaly unacceptable. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  24. Even though International Superhits was a Reprise gimmick to sell records it is really great to have all their hits on one CD! My favorite cd has to be 1,039 S.O.S.H.(1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours)Its got that raw recording quality and its different then most of their other stuff. Insomniac is another one of my favorites. ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!

  25. Where can you get those songs on the net? Like Kazaa or something? I found a few on there but it kept giving me an "Remotly" thing. I got a few but they went to low for the Z-560's frequency range! I got these really horrible noises! ------------------ ~You laugh because im diffrent,i laugh because your ugly~ GreenDay Rules!
