Re: Finally going to get serious(ish) about HT, questions

I wouldn't recommend Overnight Sensations for your rear speakers. First of all they are designed to be nearfield monitors, so they won't sound right in a big room. Second, you want to match the "timbre" or general sound profile of all of your speakers. Because of this, I would personally ...

Re: Finally going to get serious(ish) about HT, questions

Well, after months of sitting in the other room I finally got off my ass this weekend and built the TriTrix speakers! The build was easy as could be minus the x-overs. This was my first attempt at building x-overs and not just buying them from somewhere. I gotta say, it was kind of fun! I'm sure the...

Re: Monday is over @ E3 thought on xbox one or PS4?

Right now not to often honestly. But, I can see myself going back and playing the ps3 and 360 a lot. That's my rub.:cry:

Re: Monday is over @ E3 thought on xbox one or PS4?

I have played the Mass Effect games on the 360 at least 8 times through. That's 50 hours per game, 3 games each play through. And currently I am playing Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic on my original modded Xbox in the bedroom each night before going to bed. Yeah, I'm a little odd like that. I...

Re: Monday is over @ E3 thought on xbox one or PS4?

I like to call myself a gamer. I own 2 PS3's, a Xbox 360, Wii, a modded original xbox, a PSP, and a Nintendo DS. Prior to E3 I would not consider buying either console. There were heavy rumors that both systems would not be backwards compatible. After E3 that is absolutely no way in hell I would con...

Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP

On a recent vacation the wife and I took a side trip to this little known National Park. Turns out, it's pretty cool! I'm sure the locals love it, and love it even more that nobody knows about it! :mrgreen: This trip we did not have the time to devote to this park, which only means that we will have...

Yep, primes are the way to go for me now! I have two zoom lenses that cover from 17mm to 300mm. Now I just need a few more primes to round out my collection. I know about the 40mm pancake, but I already own a 35mm and now a fast 50mm. I still have to play with the 50mm, but I know the 35mm is a keep...

I have the sub in a sealed box just sitting in my closet. The box was built to specs for a sealed box. I guess I'm wondering if I can just throw some power to it and use it as a HT sub as is?? Also, you guys are wayyyyyy to slow. I ordered the speakers last night and they will be here on Friday. I k...
