a real purist (fundamentalist) will have a monophonic system, like what people used to have "in the good old times". my system is 7 channels, and that gives me 6 spare channels when one breaks down.

Thanks, Chris. I knew about film, but not about the current state of digital. What a world.

Yeah, there are definitely 4k cameras (Red just announced their 6k sensor). Almost everything that has been shot in the last 2 years has been on 4k+ digital. Good quality 35mm film can also resolve that much detail.

Is there 4k content? 4k cameras?

But there are physical limits to perception. You don't have an infinite number of photo receptors on the back of your eye, nor is the lens capable of resolving more than a certain number of line-pairs. Once you exceed those numbers there is no more d

Glad you liked the writeup Chess. I think Lailey offered the best value for money by a good margin that day. I tried the Chardonnays and really liked them: oaked and unoaked. My dad picked up an unoaked Chardonney, so I picked up the Riesling. I

Its about perception. Tricking the mind. Believing you're there. Its already achievable, obviously. It can be better. I say the more detail the better. Except when watching the Olympics. I don't care to see flapping skin on a diver again.

Exactly. Even the name of the "Retina" display is telling. It's designed to match the resolving power of light focused on the retina from its normal viewing distance. That's what the chart above is showing too.

Very nice Fred. I enjoy hearing more about the wineries i haven't yet had a chance to visit in the Niagara and Bench area. Lailey sells one of my favorite chardonnays. The Canadian oak version is subtle in difference but i quite like it. Fielding Es

Your retina display is much closer to your eyes that a TV or projector screen. You don't need more pixels per inch than your eye can distinguish. The resolution is wasted.

If I had never seen a retina display I would probably pass on the subject altogether. After seeing how more pixels can/does benifit a display I'll eagerly await my first 4K experience. We have the perfect opportunity to install a projector and screen

Well, I've put up some M2's for heights and the difference is stunning. I have them angled down at the listener. I'm using DSX height mode (not IIz). I can imagine a purest wanting just 5.1 or 7.1, but these speakers aren't going anywhere. They creat

At my new place I'm shooting for 100+ inches at 10 feet. But will definitely be moving over to a projector.

Thanks for the tip. I think I might have thought the 180/m80s needed to be further from the rear wall confused with Magnepan MMGs. 4" is no problem... I still haven't moved into the target house (being built) and don't yet have the console (l

This is probably as good a time as any to repost this again some more: Since I don't have 20/20 vision and I'm not going to sit 4 feet from my TV, I think I'll pass.

I can't wait to see one and confirm for myself if the difference is worth the investment. Don't think I'll ever own one.

The minimum distance would be the diameter of the rear ports. This is to keep the air in the port from compressing and changing the response of the speaker. After that, it is up to you. You will get more bass reinforcement the closer you get to th

Plan to move your couch a little closer to get the full benefit of that 4k. 2 feet from the screen should be optimal.
