Nicely done, CV. I suppose it was only a matter of time.

I'm (still) envious.

Congrats on the new speaker, CV!!

Thanks, Tom and Sean. Ian himself uses a single VP180 below the screen, so maybe I won't feel the need for another. But you know me.

Cool! Looking forward to the review!

If you REALLY want to show him, buy a jet.


And then park it in your HT room.

No Charles you must buy two VP180s so you can put one above your screen and let us know what sort of “wall of sound” it creates for movies so I’ll know if I should do the same.

Seriously your next step should be to take some pictures so we can visualize what you’re talking about.

I thought "wall of sound" was Catbrat's job.

Ha ha. Good call, Ken. Dean, what do you want pictures of?

In other news, I finally shipped my DSP to Axiom for the code update. Instead of trying to schedule a pickup and hoping I filled the international waybill out correctly, I decided to take it in to the local FedEx Office to be sure. I sent it 2-Day, but the girl at the counter confused me by saying it would go out Monday and be there on Friday if there weren't any customs delays. I didn't ask, but I assume they're tacking on extra days because of the hurricane? Their Service Alerts page says "FedEx is conducting normal operations," though, with no mention of Hurricane Sandy. I suppose I'm not in THAT much of a rush, but with Axiom splitting the shipping cost with me for 2-day service, I feel bad if they're not getting what they're paying for.

I sent my DSP box in on the 29th and they got it on the 31st. Axiom sent the unit back on the 2nd and its not suppose to get here until the 8th and I paid for two day shipping. Something is not right there either,but I will just be glad to get it back before next weekend.

Hopefully you don't have to wait too long CV.

That time frame is a bummer for sure, no matter how one does the math, it simply just doesn't add up. Some people would complain for a reduced fee, or perhaps a credit on the next time they would be using their services again. This may or may not fall on deaf ears, but might be something too consider though.
