Home Theater

[bullit67]

Yah Home theater is another one of my money burning hobbies havnt done any upgrades for a couple of years now still running 5.1 as I dont need 7.1 my room is to small and the sound tends to get a little muddy in a small room my Rec can run 7.1 but I think it would be too much of a good thing. As for running 2 subs be make sure you spend some time setting them up properly as they can cancel each other out and you actually get less bass then you would if you only had one sub. I sold off my second sub because of this. Mind you the sub I have is a PSB sub sonic 7 15 inch driver 1250 watts so I realy dont need a second sub. I would love a new rec. with HDMI inputs so I can get the full benefit of the new formats. Oh well one of these days

Geeze, how do you keep your teeth from rattling out of your head with that thing in a small room!

Do you have all PSB Speakers? The T65 is on my audition list.

I've got 5.1 upstairs with a mix of Mission and PSB. Downstairs on the projector is 7.1 with JBL Northgates, a 12" Velodyne sub and a DVDO iScan HD+.
As mentioned not much to utilize the 7.1
XBox 360 sounds pretty good digital.
Anybody else still have Laserdiscs?

No I run Energy the sub is my only PSB

Main Energy Connoisseur C9 towers
center Energy AC300
rears Energy EXL-R

I have a set of Mirage monitors that is what turned me on to Energy I dont know if you know this but Mirage and Energy are made by the same company. The sub is a monster my neighbour came over one Sunday morning to ask what movie I was whatching he said he could feel it in his living room

What are your opinions on bose speakers? I have the centre channel, i think vcs-10 or something like that. Most salesman i talk to hate them, but i think it sounds really nice. It has no tweeter but it hits all sounds i am after.

That right there is all that matters. What constitutes a good sounding speaker is so subjective.

[bullit67]

Bose do sound decent but they are pricey you can buy a better speaker for the price of a Bose. But all that matters is you like them it is kind of like the Monster cable debate do they sound better or just a money grab marketing ploy I think they sound better but lots of people dont

Yep, they also made the Athena line of speakers. I believe they shut down Athena last year. They got rave reviews comparing to anything double their price.
