It's time for my first gtg. My modest theater isn't done yet, but who's really is? I've been watching this fourm hoping to find one I could attend, but nothing has come up, so why not host? So far, I have had interest in a meet from four members if I counted right. I only have 6 real seats, but I can add more, they just won't be optimal. I'll probably have to cap it at 8 or 10 guys, we'll see what happens. I'm not even sure what typically happens at these meets, but I'm sure we will figure it out. Ask any questions please and let me know your availability! I'm in 48088 13 and Hayes
Shooting for August 27th.

Once we get 10 confirmed we should leave it at that. It would get to crowded I think. We'll see.

Beer! That works for me.
I love my Epson 5030ub and the fan doesn't bother me at all. I love the picture. I chose it based on better black levels. I have a super crappy screen and the image still looks good.
I am interested. Your system looks fantastic. I have not yet heard an Atmos system, and when I set it up in my room, I will likely go with Volts like yours.
Well your welcome to join us. I'd like to hear some constructive criticism and improve my system where I can. All my friends think I'm nuts and don't really care about home theater. They just say it's better than going to the movies. Probably because they drink all my liquor.
The volts are very impressive for the size and cost. You will love them if you go that direction.

I think I'm going to go 5030 as well. How many hours do you have on it? What mode do you run it in?[/QUOTE]
No preference on beer. It's all good.
I have 933 hours on the projector. I have no idea how many I would of had, but I had to warrenty swap my projector about a year ago, give or take, because a weird light sopt appeared. Customer service was great, and they sent the new one before I had to send in the old one. Very painless.
I use thx mode

I guess the fan mode is normal. If you use the brighter 'color modes' it increases fan speed. Like 3D, dynamic, or living room mode. I haven't seen a Eco mode.
Would love to come, but unfortunately that's one of the few weekend days I have to work
Probably a good thing... I'm sure I would just end up feeling like I needed to go buy more stuff! LOL!
I can bring something too if desired, all I really know how to do is cheesecake and gin though.
I'm really excited for the Epson 5040 that was announced, unless something better comes along. You've got a setup close to what I'm looking to go for to start.
The Epson 5040 does look sweet. I want one bad. I still have to wait for them to come down in price.
Bring whatever you want. No need for anything extravagant. Thanks for joining the group!

To be honest, my projector is the only home theater projector I've ever seen in person, accept one $25K projector at Paulsons tv. And that one was very nice. I would love to see side by side comparisons of the 3 to 4 K priced projectors.
Would you happen to have a record player hooked up to your system? Whenever I get mine rolling its going to be 50% movies and 50% vinyl, so I'm curious how it sounds on DIYSG speakers.
Edit: I did check the equipment list, just hoping this is one just unlisted because its less likely to excite as many people or something.
Whew. That was a close one.
Well thanks to everyone for joinin the g2g! This will be very interesting to get some opinions on my setup from other members. I'm excited and I hope everyone has as much fun as I will. Still room for a couple more!
My favorite movie demos are but not limited to:
Star Trek into darkness, several scenes but inside the volcano is my favorite
Wotw for the stupid loud bass
EOT for the same reason
The force awakens, the Ray scene in the crashed Imperial cruiser has some single digit bass I love
The crash scene in flight of the phenix
And I could go on and on.
The helicopter scenes in sky fall and MIssion Impossible 3 are great. Helicopters sound amazing in atmos and with way to many big subs.
Every watched the matrix in your theater? I'm curious about the lobby scene too. Gosh, I'm feeling like a kid in a candy shop. "I'll watch this one, and I'll watch that one, and OOOh that one too". I can only imagine what owning the system is like.
Yes the Matrix is fantastic. Although I don't own it anymore. Man, so many good movies. Inception is another great one.
And I work outside almost every day. A foot of snow with horrible wind chills, or 90 degrees and crazy humid. So owning this system has been awesome. I come home everyday a couple hours before my wife, pour a nice drink, and put on a movie. I'm so glad for the guys on this fourm that helped me make it happen!
I'm not sure how much you'll want people to bring for demo purposes - but I have the remastered version of Fifth Element with the Atmos soundtrack... I don't have Atmos so I don't know how good it is, but I'd be happy to bring it along.
Your welcome I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. My atmos setup isn't perfect, I only have two overhead speakers due to placement restrictions, and with low ceiling height, I wasn't able to get the channel separation really needed for that 'wow' experience. I do think they add to the experience though.
As far as ISO's, I don't know. I don't know what that means! Sorry, I just got the oppo a few weeks ago.
Hey does anyone know the member who hosted the last g2g here in town? I invited him via PM and had no response. It looks like his last activitiy was some time ago. I'd love to return him the favor of hosting a g2g, even though I wasn't there.
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
