Very cool system, Jonas - wish I could come for a listen, or a film!
It must be amazing!

Yet another upgrade. We've been interested in the Magnepan speakers for the upstairs room
and went and to a local dealer to demo them - see what the new stuff is like. Very Nice!

Anyway - Emma...

'Minor upgrades ....
I had a chance for a pair of Vandersteen 3A speakers at an affordable price recently and made a run Saturday to pick them up in Ephrata, PA - (near Harrisburg, PA) .
Got them...

In someone else's thread you suddenly started asking ME questions about my gear,
so I pointed you to this thread and answered those questions here so you could find out specifics.

Now you are...

Completely agree - like I said, I stopped going to any old film after a couple of chatty cathys talked through
Wild Bird Migration, The Hours, and some other films I really wanted to get lost in...

Has NOTHING to do with GUNS, Martin - again, you try and take this offtopic.

This is a thread about HOME Theater - since you won't stay on topic, go to someone else's thread, please.

Again, this thread is not to debate the value of HT,
start your own thread for that, if that topic is what makes you happy,
this thread is for believers who appreciate Home theater gear ...
...

Waste of time - audiences are rude and noisy - on a couple occasions they pretty much ruined films we did go see.

(Wild Bird migration, for one ... The Hours, for another)

With Home theater WE...

I kept the JBL 4641 sub, and the big 3 ways upstairs, of course.

The vandersteens? The sound is quite good, and imaging is top notch as well. And they are American made as well.

Its a much...

Hi martin - My Avatar picture is from July '13, just after we got new carpet and new Sofa ...

The only real change in that system is retiring an old TIVOHD DVR and replacing it with a
new...

I found out I have to remove my bifocals because with the new reclining position,
I am viewing through the lower part of the lens - and that close-up reading section is all wrong for watching TV...

To give perspective - here's a pair-o-pix of the room fully emptied when the carpet was install back in July ... The room is only 12 x 16

La-Z-Boy was delivered on Saturday ... that's some seriously decadent seating!
We looked into home theater seats, but Emma wanted to go with the La-Z-Boy seating.
Most La-Z-Boy sofas have a...

Ah - next step in the room - we ordered a La-Z-Boy sofa and decided that blue carpet from the last homeowner just HAD TO GO!

We've owned the house 13 years Aug 1st, so its paid its way ... We...

Since Tuesday is my birthday, and we don't really go to the theatre much anymore, I'd been looking around to upscale the TV set downstairs and came across a great price at Costco Thurs for a...

Extremely doubtful either of them will come in 50+ inch screen models!
And if they don't, they aren't relevant to the discussion. Really!
Touch screens aren't for home theater either - and won't...

It IS very tempting - I looked it up the other day and noticed I could get similar 50 in Plasma monitors from Sam's Club, BJ's Club, and Costco ...
all for under $600

What do they know that we...

So maybe a good pair of HAMT could help me go back to 2 way performance and sell off those much cursed (not by me) JBL horns??
I'd have to see the specs - but if they'd crossover at 900 or 1200Hz...

I'm on a 47" Vizio right now - the 51 Plasma seems like a killer price - but not much of an upgrade sizewise ...
I'll go have a look tho ... better image is worthwhile!

I've got a friend locally...

Whatever Emma got last time ... my fav Cappucines are out of production these days ...

We actually like what that sideways sub is doing in the room - but the look is civilized compared to the black industrial look of the stock cabinet.
I actually cancelled the HK corner subs just...

Cleaned up the Home Theater room. I shipped the Vandy sub back -
it just doesn't produce bass like a 4641 on full tear with HK Citation 22 in Bridged mono mode off the LFE channel.
But the 4641 is...

Oh - for the current MK tour he is teamed up with Bob Dylan ... I'd rather hear Bob on an album
(Desire, Rolling Thunder revue, Planet Waves) than in person where he may be .. shall we say - less...

It seemed like a good time to sell off some of the JBL stuff -
I got my money's worth out of the 4341s plus a bit more and we had
enjoyed them for 5 years (!)
They'd probably have been better...

Still shuffling things in the HT room - but yes, with the vandy mains and the B&K power amp,
listening to music is a lot nicer in that room that it was before ...
not to blame the 4341s - it just...
