Geez one reply. I'm rather astonished. Usually by now there's at least 20 replies, 10% of which are on topic, 80% of which are derogatory remarks about someone else's lifestyle and 10% complete topic highjack. Thanks for the thoughts Murph. That is

Okay, well, how do you improve or measure "frame rate" or "motion" on a modern set? Does 4k technology have improved frame rate / refresh rate / motion? If so, is there a measurement to help quantify that improvement? I'm tryin

I think the volume of the enclosure would make a difference, but possibly Only in bass extension. I'm not as sure as you are that the differences, if any, of cabinet resonance between the bookshelf and Algonquin would be perceptible. Only the fol

I'm waiting for TNG to come down in price. $80 a season is too much. Its pretty obvious it will be on SPACE in HD eventually. TOS already is. Might have to wait it out and not purchase them at all.

People will accuse me of being negative again. However, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't let you know about a friends system that looks similar if not the same. The cable somehow jammed on one corner, creating an angle as it was raised. A few ite

We are looking at adding some storage in the two car garage for the area overtop the front of our vehicles. Obviously any kind of wire rack bolted to a ceiling joist would work, but i saw a lift system at Canadian Tire awhile back that i thought was

Watched Dark Shadows last night. I thought the first half of the movie was excellent. But the 2nd half just became too boring, and seemed too long at times.

Tom, the EP500 pictures seem to be mostly still the concave cone without dust-cap. One shows a dust-cap. The stuff I've read(not much)on this topic discusses high frequency extension and dispersion. This would seem to be a moot point for subs which
