I figured it would be fun to see what people are watching their Tron: Legacy Blu-ray's on. "Come on, big fella, let's see what you got."

I like what's playing on your TV!

Unfortunatly, I can't post picks in the forum yet (not enough posts).

UPDATE:
... just posted to some stuff as I was real close.... I'll update with some pics.

Holy Schnikies! That's quite an impressive home theater, Doc! Can I come watch movies at your house? LOL!

My present setup:

An old hand-me-down 19 inch RCA tube television
Pioneer DVD player

(Pretty sad, isn't it?)

But presently, I'm saving up for my planned future setup:

Mitsubishi WD-73C10 73 inch 3D DLP HDTV
Sony BDP-S570 3-D Blu-Ray player
Denon AVR-1911 7.1 Home Theater Receiver
JBL CS4800BG 5.1 HT speaker system
JBL CS400SATBG Satellite Speakers (Pair)

I'm hoping for a good Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale so I can hopefully buy it all at once for a great deal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Once it's all set up in my apartment, my neighbors are gonna hate me! LOL!

DrP Wrote:I previously owned one of the 73" Mitsubishi DLP's. I think it had great pictures quality. It's unfortunate that many people don't buy them anymore "just because it's not flat and wall mountable." It's a great bargain for people looking for a large screen.

Oh cool! I'm so glad to hear from someone who owned one! That's really great to hear, Doc! I've been reading all the great reviews on it and everybody seems to just love it! I don't care about it not being flat or wall mountable as its going to sit on a stand in my apartment anyway. My living room is really small, so I'm definitely going to get the immersive experience! I'll definitely be hitting the 36 degrees angle from my couch! I'll be somewhat following the THX and/or SMPTE recommendations as much as my viewing space will allow. Someday when I buy a place of my own, I hope to upgrade and do something similar to your dedicated theater room, Doc. I may even theme it after TRON! But for now, I'm just hoping I can get it on Black Friday for $999 or cheaper! If I get all this stuff setup, I'll have to resurrect this thread and post some pictures! Thanks again for the vote of confidence on the 73 incher, Doc!

Nice setup. Looks like your using dual subwoofer setup. I use a similar 7.2 setup myself and I find the base is much more even than a single setup. Also, it is much easier to get an "omni directional" sound out of them. Lot of people forget that you should not be able to tell where the LFE channel is coming from in an ideal setup. I have found that subwoofer placement is actually quite difficult and most manuals that come with stereos don't talk about this other than having it in a little picture that places it somewhere in the front soundstage.

For readers with one sub a good way to find optimal sub woofer placement is to put the subwoofer in your seating position (ideally ear level) and then crawl around on the floor and wherever it sounds the best, that is where you should place the sub. It's easier than moving it into position, listening, moving, listening, moving,... etc.

Falty Wrote:Thanks! Your 2ch. Looks pretty sweet aswell. As to subwoofer placement there wasn't much info regarding placement and moving these beasts around is a chore at 110 lbs each . Bit overbuilt but they sound wonderfully smooth and roll into the midrange quite well.

110 lbs, damn. I had trouble moving mine around and they way around 65 lbs. Reminds me of when I was moving my amplifier which weighs in around 115 lbs, I had to ask for help.

Falty Wrote:Yea that's guestimated. The cabinet itself is 85lbs minus subwoofer/plate amp/damping material/wiring. The subwoofer is 26.8 lbs and the amp is 6 lbs. So I guess I am underestimating the weight. I've considered doing separates but my setup far exceeds the room.

Sounds like you need a bigger room! I find that the room is also an integral part of a proper setup. My Martin Logan's really come alive when they are properly placed. My room is about 500 sq feet (approx 20x25) and it really helps that I can move the speakers around and off the walls a bit. I keep them about 5 feet off the wall and this helps with a nice full sound-stage. I think this is even more important with dipole/bipole speakers and electrostats.

Nice! I'll have to get some photos soon of my set up.
