There are folks like Crantz who post links to specs, read old issues
of Stereo Review and TAS, and fancy themselves A/V experts.
There is only one real expert and that's the folks who actually
listen, look and buy the actual gear to see how it really performs.
The rest is all BS, just like Crantz name, sockpuppets and boat sold
long ago.

Theatre project continues with most wiring hidden now and my center
channel stand (which I made myself) in place. Front speakers have
about the best image possible and quite a bit nicer than I've heard in
some heavily modded rooms. With virtually no specific wall treatments,
there are almost no audible reflections. I'm still working on the
sides and rears. Power is from Rotel & Denon. Sub is SVS rated down to
16hz and the bass on soundtracks is wonderful.!

The 1080p RPT on the right will eventually give way to a much larger
screen, though everyone likes the system as is. I have yet to unpack
the Blue ray and HD players. Curtain material will also be up shortly.
Bottom line: Watching movies and listening to music on this set up is
FANTASTIC and I've yet to bring the SVS MTS-01 speakers into the mix!

See ya!

Good work, Bob. Not getting into any "technicals" - I can't - it nice
to see your enthusiasm for your system. I like how you back up your
discussion, whether about sailing or "theatre" with concrete examples
and that you often post photos/video of your actual experience.
BTW, Aliens - "It's over man, it over!" is my favorite of the series,
and the mere mention of it always reminds me of Bill Paxton, and his
extensive list of credits. It can be argued that it was his
hysterical voice and words that lent much of the air of impending
panic to the film.
