tripod Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Isn't that the best? Validates all the thought and resources you put into it. I had a similar experience with my in-laws coming over and being amazed (and my system is much more basic than yours). OT a little bit My wife and I have a 3 yo boy, so going out to a movie involves a sitter and is way more complicated than it should be. Well, it's been a while so we recently decided to go out. $20 for the sitter, more for a pizza and off we went to a nice theater with stadium seating (the theater is about 4 years old). $14 for tickets and another $10 for snacks. Very comfortable seats. The WORST sound quality I could have imagined for a modern theater! It was awful. We both agreed that our living room far surpased the theater, BY FAR. Hell of a lot cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 That is great isn't it? About a month ago, I had something like 8 people over to watch LotR. All of them said they liked it better there than they did at the actual movie theater. Some indicated they would like to do that again sometime in the future. I may have to think of something around the holidays, perhaps to coincide with the release of the next LotR movie. ------------------ Steven Konopa Fredericksburg, VA Denon AVR3802 (Receiver) RF-7 (Fronts) RC-7 (Center) RC-7 (Rear) RS-7 (A Surrounds) Infinity RS2000.5 (B Surrounds - recycled) REL Storm III (Subwoofer 1) Yamaha YST-SW40 (Subwoofer 2 - Recycled) JVC XV-S65GD (DVD) Sharp DX-200 (CD - ancient) RCA DWD490RE (DirecTV/Ultimate TV receiver) Sharp 32 inch (TV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Our Klipsch-based HT has totally ruined our theater-going experiences. We are so spoiled. When in Denver a few weeks ago, my wife and I caught a flick at the local mega-plex. Stadium seating (nice and comfy), overpriced snacks, etc... The movie starts unspooling, all is great, until I detect a consistent clicking and whirring noise emanating from somewhere in the auditorium. During the quiet passages, I couldn't even focus on the movie 'cause I was so distracted by the noise. The house is packed, and we're in the center of the row. I commented to my seat neighbor (not my wife) about it, and asked if it was disturbing him, as I was about to trample everyone's shoes and go tell the management about it. He advised me that the noise was coming from another patron's oxygen tank system. Well, what are you gonna do? I resumed viewing, as best I could, and pined for my HT where I can eliminate noises without offense!

Well, what are you gonna do? DD Ya, what can you do. Mostly I get irritated over children making lots of noise. I understand that children are hard to keep quite as I have two of my own. But still it's annoying. I can't wait until "Star Wars Attack of the Clones" comes out on DVD. I have a feeling that is going to have some excellent sound affects. ------------------ m00nsCinema to be the m00n system FRONTS: RF-7 CENTER: RC-7 SURROUNDS: RS-7 SUB: RSW-12 RECEIVER: Harman Kardon AVR 520 DVD: Harman Kardon DVD-50(DD, DTS) VIDEO: InFocus ScreenPlay DLP Projector COMPUTER: ProMedia 4.1 c>Microsoft XBOXc> f> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I know it rocks when ppl say that. My problem is trying to get two of my friends of three who love bose to learn otherwise. Tought crowd. Then I have a B&W family and a Yamaha/Mirage family who both have nice systems. However, so far NO one has said that they have heard better headphones than my HD600's breaking them in right now with some Norah Jones. ------------------ -justin SoundWise promediatech@Klipsch.com /1-888-554-5665 - RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5s> Email Me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonopa Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 You know, when I see a preview of a movie that looks like something I want to see, I'll often think "I'll wait for the DVD then rent it." There are very few movies that I just absolutly gotta see that I cannot wait for the DVD, such as LotR and/or Star Wars. I'll probably also go see the next Star Trek movie at the movies. Just about everything else - I'll wait for the DVD then rent it. It is nice - no oxygen tanks, no people talking, no kids running around, no people getting up in the middle of the movie to go to the bathroom, get popcorn, get a drink, etc., no coughing, and such, and on and on and on. ------------------ Steven Konopa Fredericksburg, VA Denon AVR3802 (Receiver) RF-7 (Fronts) RC-7 (Center) RC-7 (Rear) RS-7 (A Surrounds) Infinity RS2000.5 (B Surrounds - recycled) REL Storm III (Subwoofer 1) Yamaha YST-SW40 (Subwoofer 2 - Recycled) JVC XV-S65GD (DVD) Sharp DX-200 (CD - ancient) RCA DWD490RE (DirecTV/Ultimate TV receiver) Sharp 32 inch (TV) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 skonopa AND! You forgot a couple of things.... With your OWN home theater, you CAN.. Watch movies in yer skivies. Drink beer. Diddle your wife/girlfriend. Fart and not feel bad about it. Pause the movie when you need to pee. Turn the volume up and down to suit your needs Hmmm. i am sure there are others, but that will do for now. Feel free to add to the list. ------------------ m00nsCinema to be the m00n system FRONTS: RF-7 CENTER: RC-7 SURROUNDS: RS-7 SUB: RSW-12 RECEIVER: Harman Kardon AVR 520 DVD: Harman Kardon DVD-50(DD, DTS) VIDEO: InFocus ScreenPlay DLP Projector COMPUTER: ProMedia 4.1 c>Microsoft XBOXc> f> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Hey gang, privacy is a great environment... but how about the best of all. With Klipsch and other HT technology leaders, you can build a home system that flat outperforms the best sound that is likely to reach your ears in any commercial theater. Anytime you have Reference Level Bass for commercial theaters (not many commercial theaters come up to that Dolby standard) and a big progressive scan High Defininition picture that covers your primary visual area... with your choice of Klipsch monopoles covering five, six or seven positions around your chair... it is the theaters that are hard pressed to keep up. and Klipsch... how sweet it is! -HornED ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Dang strait! Especially with Harry Potter. I heard at the leangh, (what, 2+ hours) all the kids bladders ran out of room about 3/4 the way through and it was lots of parents and kids bailing at the end. As for the rest, YES!!! I think the control is the best. Even with sub-par equiptment, it is more enjoyable. However, you need a room you can black out. Also, you can rewind/go back if you want to see a part again! Great for those really complex movies where dialoge matters! Home theater is so much fun, heck, a 27" TV and some speakers are fine (our HT...) ------------------ Receiver: Sony STR-DE675 CD player: Sony CDP-CX300 Turntable: Technics SL-J3 with Audio-Technica TR485U Speakers: JBL HLS-610 Subwoofer: JBL 4648A-8 Sub amp: Parts Express 180 watt Center/surrounds: Teac 3-way bookshelfs Yes, it sucks, but better to come.
