Has anyone tried the crystal wedges from Trophyawards.com?

Here's a link to the product page:

http://www.trophyawards.com/crystal/wedge.html

I asked if there would be a price break for just the wedges (no engraving, etc.) and they said they'd offer $5 off the list price. Anyhow, I just wondered if anybody here might've used them already (did a search and didn't find any listings) or if there's any reason I shouldn't . . .

Hi applesandrice,

I'm looking into crystal wedges myself and what I found out after some research that people either go for the Massilon Plaque or the Crystal Factory wedges.
Why don't you check them out. I think they have somewhat better prices considering they both have bigger wedges than Trophy awards.

Hope this helps and do keep us posted :)

Thanks for the info. I just e-mailed Massillon for prices. From the prices listed at Crystal Factory, though, they do look to be a bit more expensive than the Trophy Awards wedges. Will I really need them to be that big, or would the 3"x5" size from TA work? Those would be $34 each for two . . .

Thanks!

Your welcome :)

Well it all depends on what type of beam the projector is throwing. You need to do the paper test to see how large an image is being projected on to a white sheet of paper about 6-8" away from the projector. If it is about 3" then your good to go, otherwise you'll have to go with a bigger set of prisms mainly the 4 x 6.

also read this thread, it will help you a lot in understanding crystal prism wedges :D
I know it did for me :cool:
