You might be over 50 if... Just to be clear, I'm not busting spheres because you may have peed at Tom's joke. I'm busting them because you're not sure if you peed. John

I don't really think you need a separate room for music and another for HT. Set the room up for stereo music first, and let the theater fall into place after that. Place the seating, speakers, treatments, etc. for the 2 channel listening and everything will work out. The biggest obstacle to...

Not to mention that Mick bought our dinner at a GTG!! He hung out with us all that day and really is a good guy. John

This thread takes me back to the "Good Ol' Days" of the forum. Great discussion with multiple points of view. Directly on topic of the title of the thread: I think that some terms actually have definitions and may be used incorrectly. However, over time the colloquial meaning tends to drift...

Heeman, you're a dick, I don't like you, and uh...well... YOU SUCK!!! You know I love you man!! John- Who's just too jealous to be nice right now.

I assume the advantage to what you're proposing is cost. However, I wonder if the pigtail is remote controlled. Still, we're both proposing solutions that require multiple HDMI "splitters" for this to work, which is my original point: The upgrade path is clumsy unless the pre/pro is upgraded...

Okay, now that I'm (somewhat) over my jealousy induced hissy fit...congrats!! That's awesome!! I bet you'll be saying, "Hey! Come listen to THIS a lot over the next few months." Enjoy! John PS You still suck...

DICK!!

Jeff, yeah that's where the "creative" part comes in. For example, to get 4k from a BD player to my projector w/o upgrading my pre/pro I would need two HDMI switches. 1 w/ 1 input and 2 outputs for the blu-ray (1 for video to the the projector, 1 for audio to the pre/pro). The other would be...

Yep, I agree. The thing that sucks is that you can't do it piece by piece have incremental gains w/o doing some creative re-wiring. Unless you upgrade both your display and your processor, your BD player will have to have HDMI going to both. Not saying that's not possible, but it will be a...

I wouldn't spend any more than necessary to get a player that will get you by until you can pick a 4k player, assuming that's the route you want to go. You're going to need that need $200-$300 to help w/ the new display for the 4k stuff. BTW, will newer receivers and pre/pros pass 4k? John

Keith, I don't have that disc but I know of a way you can check to see what's going on. On the front of your receiver/pre-pro, you should see a set of lights that indicate which channels are active. Typically, these are squares with letters inside them which correspond to the channel (L for...

Yep, I like being in control of my stuff. If the sun does go all red giant on us, the solar flares will knock Amazon's, and everyone else's, servers before your discs melt. So you will have a "Ha-Ha! I have my movies and you don't moment." :violence-torch: John

Jeff, I'm sort of on board with this question. However, in this case, there is some good news and some bad news that can be summed in the following single sentence: Vudu is a Walmart service. The good part of that is that Walmart is very unlikely to go anywhere in the foreseeable future. The...

Yes, the power of the Dark Side is VERY VERY strong. THAT is your own damned fault. I stay way away from the pool that is the Dark Side. In fact my only contribution to your current state (at least the only one I own up to :obscene-buttred: ) is not having any of that stuff, particularly an...

That would have been a shitty way to go. John

I will be REALLY surprised if there's not a pair of these in Delaware in June. John

In summary make sure you get a wired device. I hate trying to use WiFi for video streaming. That means Roku 3 or AppleTV to me. (I really just added the AppleTV to have CMonster's back.) John

I don't think anyone will notice a lack of a broad soundstage with these speakers. I have used Klipsch RF series speakers in the past and they have a similar style horn on them. Their soundstage was fine. The Mackies have their tweeters less extreme wave guides and their soundstage is...

You know where that equipment rack is? Yeah, right about there. John
