  1. Just the other day i was going thru the music channels on sat and ran across the disco channel , couldn't stay there to long. There are Allot of disco songs , it seems like they were coming out with a few a day. There is a couple of other channels that are very close to disco , just called something else for a different generation.
  2. "How about: SANTA ESMERALDA - Don't let me be misunderstood" Yes that was one i had , not disco but was around the same time, The Average White Band Commdors?SP Michael Jackson , Thriller i think To many drinks and stuff to recall many of those.
  3. We have a 65" and sit about 13' back, and it looks fine even if you move up to half way to the tv. Tv is 1080i and dish network, in HD you can move as close as you want and it is perfect, DVD's are about like the normal signal off of the sat, maybe a little better.
  4. If you put them in the bedroom door there should be no problem with the WAF the bed would vibrate like you put quarters in it.[]
  5. Even with 500 less post you still have all the balls allowed ! Impressive balls there Daddy Dee !
  6. Sounds like good service to me!
  7. Great another place to spend money ! And for all the 2 channel people they can also be played in 2.0, and if the tv is too big of a distraction just put it on to get thru the menu. The pure 2 channel people should also like the dvd's because the quality is better than cd , don't fell like taking a beating so no comment on lp's. I would have not been brave enough to put this in 2 channel ! They all must be in a good mood today, don't try this on monday.
  8. If you like the artist these are some very good recordings: Eric Clapton '' One more car one more rider" James Taylor "pull over" Boz Scaggs "greatist hits live" Steely Dan's "two against nature" Eric Claptons " Crossroads Guitar Festival"
  9. Thanks i didn't read every page, I have Forte ll, somehow i feel a little better that they are considered heritage. I like the sound so the name thing is all in my head i guess ?
  10. Jeff: " Those re-caps were like taking speakers that had a real bad cold with severe nasal congestion - and blowing all the snot out to finally let them breathe right again " I have read many reviews on many different things speakers,amps and everything in between and never even came close to reading a review put in those words.
  11. After reading on this forum for the last 3 years about what is or is not heritage. I thought some of those were not, does this brochure say heritage on the cover ?
  12. I think i read some place it's like 3 times the diameter = distance you should be from the screen, someone will know for sure. I don't know for fp if the same applies ?
  13. Sorry to hear that, I know how you feel ,It does get easer with time. Remember the good times you had with him, that would be what he would want.
  14. Wuzzzer: Well, with the $1500 plus the sale of your RF-3II and RC-3II you could get a pair of RF-7s and an RC-7 plus have money left over for a new amp/receiver if you wanted Does make you think, How much can you get for the whole lot ? than add $1500, NOw what can we get ? NO just keep saying ,I am happy ,I am happy ,I am happy..........................
  15. Well Scooterdog with La Scala's , thats a lot of sound even for 106", With that setup it could be a lot of sound for a normal theater I heard La Scalas before. Every time i see a list of speakers like yours or Indy's all La Scala setup it makes you think, if something went wrong with the amps in the middle of a movie, and they would blast out full power you could kill someone before you could reach the remote ! Or it would at least make you ruin your pants, no kidding it would hurt.
  16. I never knew how true your statement was until i got a new tv 65", replaced 32" Before it was all sound, the picture never matched how big the sound was[ sounds silly i know ]. Now big picture matches the sound, one day a projector.
  17. Hey i resemble those words, sorry. DrWho is one word that always gives a different answer on spell check.
  18. VERY NICE looking room,you can't beat real wood, that must have cost a fortune. If it sounds as good as it looks it must sound great.
  19. That does sound a little crazy, good luck. Sounds like a nice house, you got my attention when you said full unfinished basement, what could that be used for ? We cant have basements down here because they would be filled with water,water table about 3 feet below the surface, Makes very nice ponds though.
  20. 6 Heresy's and a sub ? Heresy's are easy to come across. Just a thought
  21. Don't sound like the speakers,but if anything would kill them it would be the Opera channel !
  22. I think you are right it's the Engineers because it's not on all movies. I hate that,your watching a movie without any loud effects and then 30 min or so into it something happens ,Everybody jumps and they look at me like i did something and blame me. All speakers set with SPL meter with the center bumped up a little and sometimes all sounds can be heard even the smallest back round sounds in the movies can be heard with ease, than they start to whisper and everyone looks around because no one could hear what they said. You like when there is some action and it is louder than a whisper or normal speech, that is normal but sometimes the gap from normal speech to a car crash or gunshot is twice as much or more as real life. Sometimes it's funny though to see people actually lift off the sofa, my wife will not watch any scary movie even if the sound is from the tv only.
  23. I would try BLO,Just last week i finished a small box/chest made from 3 different woods, oak, pecan and mahogany . I had always wanted to try Blo but never did so i did on this little box and it came out very nice, very natural, a really nice finish and really lets the grain of the wood show without alot of gloss. Although JMON'S finish looks very nice.
  24. May not be true but i was told that is a problem with LCD or Plasma i cant recall witch one, only on fast moving scenes ?
