Tweek Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 the sad thing is it probably crushes a BOSE sysetm LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I'm sure it crushes more than that, if dropped from a great enough height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I doubt it crushes any Bo$e system except for the value factor. I've heard the high end Bo$e systems and they would be a great value in the $500 range, not 10x that amount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweek Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 i was only joking of course about the BOSE system i'm curious to know the specs on that, i doubt its much, i cant seem to find any info on it, such as power ratings, freq responce, or driver sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skonopa Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Oh wow! What exquisit sound reproduction that thing must have! I love the discrpition where it says "Five speakers plus a subwoofer deliver the 360-degree surround sound and floor-shaking bass you've dreamed of." Floor shaking bass! Ohhh, I gotta get one! Just for S&G's, I'll have to check if the local Wally*World has one setup. Would be fun to try to play something on it. Probably would end up sounding just as one would expect a $55 HTiB setup to sound - that is - not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgie Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Would you believe my husband and I just won one of these in a drawing. We bought tickets for a fund raiser, thinking of it as a donation. Then we found out that we won. I was like, cool...an extra DVD player for the bedroom. The one we actually received, however, doesn't have the built in DVD player. Just a 5.1 decoder, sub, & sats. We haven't even taken it out of the box. I guess we'll give it a whirl just for the heck of it. Or we'll give it away as a gift. Haven't decided yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess part of it is that I do like to play with new gadgets, even if they are some cheap HTiB set. Now, I very recently almost did buy an HTiB. The local Best Buy is letting those Samsung/Klipsch SK-6 sets go for around $380! I am tempted to buy one to use as the sound system on the computer. I'd be willing to bet that thing is better than the ProMedia 5.1 Ultras, plus I could always get a better reciever in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Has anyone ever played with one of these? The 'sub' usually has a 4 or 5.25-inch driver and is probably out of steam at 50 Hz - no bass at all. However, $55 for something like that is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 My brother has that exact htib. I tried to calibrate it for him but it couldn't even reach enough spl in order for my meter to read it at 70db from the listening position about 12 feet away. It's kind of a shame because it truly isn't worth the box it's packed in. The sub drops off sharply around 40 Hz, the DVD player makes loud noises, and sometimes the control functions don't even work right. I don't know why a manufacturer would even bother making such a product. Funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweek Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 hahhahahahaha i went to Wally World (aka Wal-Mart) with my uncle earlier today and they had one of the $55 home theaters setup, we couldnt stop laughing, WOW what a piece of crap, the sub is about the size of one ProMedia Ultra satellite, it was pathetic, i dunno why they even bother selling it my uncle has a nice Boston Acoustics home theater setup, 36" Mitsubishi, and custom sub, its nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
