First off its the acoustic treatments.I made all of mine.Tube traps,acoustic panels and skyline diffusers.I use three B&K ST-140's.Not alot of power but they do 85db all day.Then it's six Paradigm mini mk3's.Textile domes all day long.My EAD Ovation is as sweet as they come.My six and a half foot wide hidef NEC projector gets the blacks right with help from a Dwin Transcanner.Not perfect but it looks so much like film.SACD/DVD-A with a Pioneer 563/Outlaw Audio ICBM combo unstoppable.My subwoofer system is to die for.Two Adire 15" Tumult drivers in 2.5 cu. ft enclosures each.One Adcom GFA 555mkII for each 15 bridge mono.One Behringer 1124p parametric to round out the peaks.Soon to be added to the subs is a Marchand Audio BASSIS to extend the bass pass its F3 point of 27hz down around 18hz and an adjusable "Q".......and last but not least my five year old cheering on the boys in Lord of the rings...priceless! And waitting for The return of the King!!!!!!!!
What makes your Home Theater system
I went to see "Hellboy" the other night at the local IMAX theater. I must say this film was quite impressive on a grand scale! Very very very dynamic and powerful indeed. I always like to go see these types of blockbuster action flicks at a good cineplex first, so I can compare to home systems for refernce, at the very least. (I like to remember what it was like on the big system/screen in the back of my mind).
There is a lot about these large theaters and powerful suuround systems that is to be admired. Yet I find that the theater experience is quite diferent from what most of us experience at home on our systems...for better or worse. I'm wondering if anyone here as any input as to what it is about "their system" that they feel makes it special?!
Please be specific about equipment, room, set up, acoustics, whatever. Thanks for input
