    Hi all, This is my first post here and I'm still new to all of this so I apologize if I come off as an absolute boob, it's because I probably am! My wife and I are in the process of renovating our downstairs. There was previously a dedicated media space which was transformed into a home gym...

    I looked around and see no actual Parasound owners thread, lots of off shoots, like an a51 thread and the sort but no official PARASOUND thread, so this is it! We welcome all into here that are looking, have questions about, want to buy, or want to talk about Parasound Halo, New Classic and Z...

    Shadow of the Colossus was a PlayStation 2 game released in 2005. It became an instant classic and won numerous accolades for its art direction, graphics, and the scale of the environments. The original game was released in 512 x 448 (SD) resolution and in a 4:3 aspect ratio. In 2011 the game...

    Audio amplifiers have exactly one job to do—take an electrical signal and magnify it without adding distortion. That goal was elusive in the vacuum-tube era, as well as in the early days of solid-state amplification. However, modern amplifier designs have evolved to the point where measurable...

    It's been well over a year since Dolby introduced Atmos for the home, and today you'll find the feature included in AVRs and pre/pros at virtually every price point. Atmos is capable of rendering a three-dimensional soundfield by adding elevation channels to the surround-sound experience...

    Does anyone have the Westinghouse WD60MB2240 60" set? There's a pretty good deal on it at Best Buy, but I can't find any reviews. It has all the connections I need, and while I know it's not a top-tier set, I was hoping it'd at least be in the same range as, say, the Vizio E60-C3. Any thoughts...

Review films of the 1990s here! Review films of the 2000s here! 1979 does not seem that long ago to me; the summer of...
