Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Fun Week Planned

Jason,

Thanks for the review. I now know who you get the HT gene from. Quite a set up! My daughter would have nightmares for weeks if she had to watch a movie in there. It's too bad your dad couldn't figure out how to mount the projector inside one of the animal heads so the lens points out of the mouth. That would be cool!

Scott - I'll suggest it to him. The bear at the back of the room is lined up the right way to make it happen. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility.

One thing I've been meaning to write back since experiencing his setup is to confirm my longstanding theory on home theater pricing.

If absolute audio nirvana is represented by 100% on the quality scale (which to me is represented by my dad's setup, it is the best I've ever heard), comparing his setup to mine confirms that you can get to 98% quality for around 10% of the price... going that extra 2% does result in subtle audible differences, but costs you A LOT. Admittedly, maybe for others with better-trained ears or more listening experience the differences are more apparent, but for me, this breakdown holds true.

For some people the extra 2% is worth the dough, and if money was absolutely no object, it probably would be worth it to me as well. However, until that day comes, last week's experience in the safari room confirmed that there is very little I'm missing in my Axiom setup. It's truly just about as good as I've ever heard, and by this analogy, available at a 90% discount from what you'd pay for full-priced audio nirvana.

I'm thinking that wrapping in fur, an electronic device that tends to blow 400 dollar bulbs if it overheats.....maybe not a god idea.

However, if you find a way to keep it cool, cool it would be.

I think it would take divine intervention to keep it cool.

We could probably install a blower in the mouth of the elk hanging on the wall next to the bear... that should take care of it.

So the elk would be blowing the bear?

That defies the laws of nature.

I think I saw that in the trailer for "Who's Nailin' Paylin?".

Sean, didn't Negative Orange have walk-on parts in that recently shot masterpiece?

I don't know, but I bet CV has the "Hockey Moms Take on Russia" bumper stickers to prove it.

Good one.

I always feel a sense of tension while these go unanswered.

You just scratched my itch!
